Most frustrating team ever

Most frustrating team ever

The pitching has been damn good for this ballpark, and the offense as a whole group has been under card, maybe with the exception of Mathews (God love him).

I will be the first to admit my leadoff situation isn't great, but that aside.... they should be winning more games. After getting to 68-64, 4 out of first, I lose 9 straight games, including one by one run where I have the bases loaded and no outs and Mathews lines out and Gordon hits into a DP. LEft 11 on base that game. And then a day after Staley pitches four relief innings, HAL brings him in in a tie game in the 12th (no RP previous two games other than Staley). The tired Staley gives up a run. We tie in the bottom of the 12th. Staley comes back out for the 13th and gives up another run... The whole pen is rested......
ack!

How about posting your lineup. You say your leadoff situation isn't great, but you've got Chance. I think I would stop platooning your catchers. I've seen May hit 45-50 HRs in the hitter's parks. Why take the bat out of his hands? Unless your opponents are all pitchers parks, I agree that your hitters are underperforming. I can't believe that no on on that roster is hitting over .300 in the Polo Grounds.

IMO, it's the relief pitching. I bet you've given up a couple dozen late leads because you have no RP studs suited for Polo. Look at those WHIPs - how many of those SP losses were caused by runners inherited by the RPs who scored? I think in Polo, you need at least one stud 3M+ reliever to horde the innings.

I have little sympathy. I currently have a team that is first in runs scored and fewest runs given up and is 8-7 ( I know it's early). I am saving all pitty for this team.

CHance has to bat leadoff, or he's a waste of 1B in a HR park... I would think with his onbase, and with the power you have in 240+ HR's, that Chance should have 120+ runs at this point instead of the 75 he has... that may be the main difference in a lot of one-run losses. IMHO.
