Not my worst start ever ...

[sschu]

but close! Had a team start 0-11, and 10-26 before recovering to post 86 wins.

Playing in Polo, Baker, Polo and Dome in my division, mostly decent/average pitchers.

High-lites:

Lost 10 in a row, 6-18 overall

Osinkme - 0.00 ERA
Faber - 2.00 ERA
(You know you are in trouble when THAT occurs!)

My "Big 3 SPs"
Mogridge - 6.27 ERA
Bush - 7.27 ERA
Demaree - 6.69 ERA

.289 team OBP
Yaz - .228 vs RHs
The Mick - .170 BA and .267 OBP vs RHs

Not looking good... :shock:

Suggestions?

Thanks for your help, sschu

It'll get better but I think you'll still struggle to break .500. Mainly because all your money is tied up in 4 big bats, but with no OBP in front or behind them...

:(

sschu,

What? Are you trying to break my crummy reverse concept team's record for futility???

:wink:

Seriously ... as the saying goes, when hitting teams hit, you win, when they don't, you're dead.

I think you'll turn it around, your pitching is doing o.k., you're just not scoring enough runs for a slugging team. 4.29 runs per game doesn't cut it. Experience tells me you need to be around 6 per game to win consistently.

Give 'em a little more time before you panic.

Thanks for the encouragement, much appreciated. Some of this is almost funny!

I try not to panic, learned the hard way not to drop until after game 100, even if I am lousy! Even then tweaks is the best approach. Not sure why I kept Yaz though, he is almost ALWAYS a disappointment for me.

When he's good, he can be real good! Plus you get solid defense. I still like him in a hitters park.
