Oh, there's plenty of other balls in the sea. Plus, you're not very talented.
I am leading the league in runs scored, on pace for 946. That would be the lowest total to lead the league in Dimaggio history, and this would be just the second season ever where a team failed to score 1,000 runs.

Death to the clowndick offenses.

Elcano's 12th CG of the season gives him 78 for his career, 2nd all-time and 19 behind Lew. His 3rd shutout of the season is his 30th, also 2nd all-time and 1 behind Lew.

Creek had been on pace to set the single season WHIP record but a 1.6 WHIP in his last three games has changed that. Now he's on pace to set the #2 mark, with Omar DaSilva on pace to claim the top spot.

He's made of steel, I tell ya! Not Chip Steele, actual steel

Damaso Perez is now a Cy Young candidate. Cla Walsh: not a Cy Young candidate. Winzzzzz (and also innings)

Max Lugo is a Gold Glove nominee and also has a .300 SLG this season. I always thought that if I couldn't get that out of him, no one could (because I didn't think anyone else would give him money and enough playing time)

e: oh and two guys who I drafted are up for Silver Sluggers, both for other teams. Welp

Although I can't help but wonder if the heavy usage is going to make his decline hit harder when that eventually comes. I thought that had been pointed out with some pitchers before but I can't remember which ones.

Lew didn't drop off dramatically until 39/40, but that's just the easy comp

I'm on a six-game winning streak, outscoring Cory J. Lidle and Art 43-13, seven straight quality starts (the last one by David Lopez, who improved to 14-2, because lol) and this is all since Chip went on the DL. How is any of this happening.

Lew is kind of what I'm talking about. When he did finally start to decline he blew off in giant chunks compared to the other guys in the top 5 career innings list who usually got less per season. Maybe there was a training budget issue there though too; I haven't investigated that closely.

I had him in S20 at 20/20, traded him to BOS at 20/20, and S21 was with Trenton at 20/20 for what that's worth

91st win of the season means I've already got my HBD-career-best record. Hat tip to the 12-game winning streak stimpy ended yesterday (with 4 runs on 2 homers in 5 IP off Cla, gently caress that bullshit. Yes even when I'm getting incredibly lucky I'm still pissed about something)

Suffice it to say, I did not expect this team to do like anything and now they're 3 games behind Jeff for the division and might win 100

Still 3 games behind Jeff with 12 to play. It's probably gonna come down to our last series in Santa Fe. Holy poo poo I don't understand this game (in a good way)

I've got 2 more @ EB, 4 vs. gardenald, and 3 @ Ivan before that (all below .500), and Jeff's got 2 more @ gardenald, 4 @ stimpy, 3 @ scrotos (stimpy/scrotos obv both above .500) so yeah
