33 consecutive scoreless innings :staredog:

also four of my starting 8 are having .300/.400/.500 seasons, and Minnie Minoso is 6 points of slugging away. my top 1-6 hitters are all OBPing .400



this team is as fun as I thought they would be, and my pitching still isn't awful so somehow I'm leading the division! :smug:

You aren't allowed to boast about Minoso because you complained about him when you drafted him. :mad:

Schoendienst didn't enter the game until the 7th, and he still went 3-3 with 3 runs, a homer, and 5 RBI. That was all in the 8th. drat son

e: btw I guess I could take over? At least if no one else offers, anyway

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.

(I'm 16-6 against you this season and 10-1 in St. Louis so it will obviously definitely happen)

Interest in WIS sim leagues in general seems to be somewhat down at this point in time.

Like I said earlier I'm still in but I need someone to do recruiting, the draft and such from now on.

I'm up 2-0 so I probably don't have to worry about jinxing myself but it's bizarre to me how good I've been against PMP this season. 16-7 in the regular season, 10-2 on the road, where the next three games are. I won the first 8 in St. Louis, and the first 7/13 of the first 15 overall. Naturally the 16th game was a 17-1 loss but thankfully it seems that The Team Of Destiny is past that brief rough stretch!

Thanks, honestly even I didn't expect to straight steamroll you. I really wish I was getting my pitchers some rest with these "off days" though

Btw I was already placed in a ToC which is amazingly fast. I'm a one seed because lol Idk? :confuoot: I'm playing a 1908 team so maybe 10 runs will be scored the entire series. My hitters against Addie and Christy will probably not end great for me, but probably even my bad pitching can keep Ty Cobb and whoever else he's got in check

Seeding is just based on your regular season record. It's why a bunch of prog teams get one and two seeds and then lose in the first round.

Wow I was really looking forward to facing AV, that would've been a great matchup. Top two offenses, identical pythags, Rosen vs. Snider, etc. But okay then. Instead a battle of the Cy Youngs! Though I don't think they'll face each other because McDermott is v tired
