Last day of season, small chance Boggs hits .400 in 86

[MrHacktastic]

Completing my first season of Stratomatic tonight. I learned a lot and made some serious mistakes with my team. My team at one point was almost 20 games over .500 and I started tinkering with it too much before finally I killed it. Made too many moves with penalties despite you guys all telling me not too. Roger Clemens and Fernando Valenzuela each went below .500 in the second half of the season. In particular Valenzuela lost 8 of his last 10 decisions or so. I thought adding Valenzuela as an elite 2nd starter could push me into the playoffs when it turned out he pitched like a 5th starter and I gave up wayyyyy too much offense to get him.

The lone bright spots were Tim Raines and Wade Boggs. Raines has a 4 SB lead heading into the final day and is batting .349. Final 3 games are tonight and Boggs is hitting .391. He probably can't get to .400 but it's not impossible. I am disappointed overall in my performance but those 2 guys gave me something to pay attention to. I also enjoyed Dave Stewart. He was a pleasant surprise and his performance convinced me to sign him to my 2nd Strato team. Well, I forgot to mention Bob Horner. .283 BA 38 HR and second in the league with 132 RBI. I didn't expect that from him. I signed him to my 2nd team as well but he isn't close to matching those numbers so far.

You aren't the only one to get off to a good start in 1986 and then lose out. I did the same thing. I was in first place for much of the first half of the season. Then I started losing. And I didn't even have to cut 20 players to do it! :D

1986 seems like one of those fickle seasons. I can see 1986 vets responding en masse to that last remark now. :lol:
