Well when I play 11 games against Ottawa, Baltimore and New York, outscore them by 20 runs combined, and come away with a 5-6 record, my guys certainly aren't doing me any favors.

3 1-run games, of course

Fortunately, the people found a mighty Rosenthal, called Trevor.

While I probably should not have continued to give Carl Levrault playing time, I did not expect him to end his career on a record-setting HBD injury

The worst part about that injury is that now Carl can't do anything to keep the HR crown distance between him and Leo.

jesus christ that is one hell of a drop-off from Carl's 28 to 29 :stare: :smith:

also I have lost 8 of 11 since the all-star break, in frustrating pattern



This means I will somehow win Arcia's debut and lose the next two, cool

^^^ if only he could've had a .420 obp, too. that would be really Nice

so that didn't quite happen! I swept nasboat on the road two days ago, outscoring 23-2, and I still kind of don't entirely believe it.

In game 1, I broke King Figueroa for like 15-ish days 5 outs into the game.

In game 2, I scored 6 in the first off Del Lorenzo then Cla Walsh, David Lopez, and Renyel Johnson proceeded to take a no-hitter 8 innings.

In game 3, Chip Morandini threw 8 hitless innings (and wasn't PotG because lol), but walked 4 and Sparky doesn't care about no-hitters, so Robert Beck and Al Dotel had to combine to try to do what Renyel couldn't. They did.

By the way, Julian Melendez just did what Chip couldn't and threw a CG no-hitter.

To recap: in the last 6 games, two no-hitters, and one no-hitter broken up to start the 9th. Holy poo poo.

In the end, it comes down to throwing one pitch after another, and seeing what happens. With each new consequence, the game begins to take shape.

Happy Awards Watch Day, all

I would just like to say: Vote Alex Mendez For MVP

Ok that's all I've got

e: holy poo poo he's leading the AL in OPS by over 100 points :allears:

the difference between Alex and McKay at 2 is basically the same as the difference between McKay at 2 and Pat Manning at 18

e2: oh my god RC27 is even more incredible



he's 3.239 ahead, the player 3.239 away from 2nd isn't even in the top 25
