as it turns out the secret to having a division lead is find the year where all the pitchers will die and have your pitchers be so bad it doesn't really matter if any of them goes down. strategy.

fun stats; runing a 4-man rotation means that picthers regularly come up before the end of the 5th which makes win-loss stats a joke

Rookie long reliever Jose Caballero is top 15 in the league in wins despite being up for half the season or so

Just noticed this:

Quilvio Lee (Charleston High A)
Pitcher
53.2 innings
82 + plays

Yasiel Gonzalez is playing out of his goddamn mind this season, especially for my lovely team. I know he'll never be in the MVP discussion in this world, but drat I kinda wish he would be.

We have another injury on our hands. Chip Steele at the ML level will be sidelined roughly 26 HBD days stemming from his recent misfortune [MCL, strained]. He definitely needs to go on the DL; whether it's the 15-Day or 60-Day depends on how you view your roster's flexibility. We'll let you know if anything changes on the road to recovery. Good luck!!!

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.
This is his 8th career DL stint and he's only 23

God I love Chip Steele (more like RIP Steele amirite?)

on the same note, splits vs. LHP this season
