NLD46 - The Petite Oakland Trio League

So, waivers on Monday, league starts on 10/9?

Whoa, guys. That was fast.

Correct

Whoa, guys. That was fast.

Yeh, would have even been faster if I hadn't messed up the password.

Waivers should be interesting, there's some teams with a lot of cap out there.

Anyone really miss out on someone they wanted in the AD? Obviously I'm in the 12 spot so I didn't.

Ok, so waivers haven't been that interesting so far, but maybe this will be.

Here are my notes, feel free to add your own.

Jeep breaks a long drought with his first playoff appearance since NLD 31 (he sat out five seasons in there) and posted the best record and a championship to boot!

Jeep now has 4 (in 12 playoffs) and is tied with four others for the most rings and his best record puts him in third behind Silver and Stoney with 20% of the time.

The best record has won 15 out of 45 now.

Semper has the rare occurrence of posting the fourth best record, but NOT making the playoffs. Big A and Hawk did it in NLD 42, and Spider in 40 but no one else since NLD 34 when Semper did it again.

Smokey has established a pattern of making every other playoff. That means he’ll be out for sure this time around

For the past three NLDs Stones makes the playoffs only when Smokey does.

Stoney moved into a third place tie (AT) for most playoff trips and has made it 46% of the time.

Semper makes it when those two don’t for the past four NLDs.

JTJ’s collapse broke his five season playoff streak and first time with fewer than 82 wins since NLD 37

Doug has been on a bit of a cold streak since winning it all in his return in 41.

Spider has made the playoffs in 3 of the last four. He is now in third place overall in terms of all-time winning pct (albeit in only 11 NLDs) He’s made the playoffs in 45% of his seasons.

This NLD was one of the tightest in terms top to bottom records. The spread was only 19 games the fewest since 36 and the standard deviation was 5.2 which is the third lowest of all time (23 and 30)

Smokey has established a pattern of making every other playoff. That means he’ll be out for sure this time around

For the past three NLDs Stones makes the playoffs only when Smokey does.

Nice to know that neither Smokey or Stoney can make the playoff this time. I "only" have to top Jeep to get there.

I was thinking the same thing. Rooting for Smokey!

LOL

Glad my drought is over.

Now to work on that tie-breaking Ring.
