NLD 61 - The Asterisk Season

KLX, sorry to say, despite what you say above, you've been very lucky in many ways. I'm sure it doesn't feel that way, but you've been very, very luck in both bp singles and bphr. 25% more bphrs is a HUGE difference. In addition, you've rolled 2.2% more on your own card which is, again, a significant difference and to top it off, you've had fewer injuries than expected.

As far as BPHR's go, I am 19 in my park & should be 95%

aaaaand, on cue, I get swept after posting the ratings. Seems like this happens every time.

I've lost 6 in a row since you posted the ratings--no sympathy here

The rating bear out my suspicion - I have a "plain vanilla" team - Don't thing I'd pay to watch them, but they don't make me miserable, either. Now, If I'd start having some great luck flow my way, I may slip into a playoff chase.

Ok, so this is weird...

We out score Jeep tonight 40-14, but only manage to win 2 of the games. Lost game 3, 4-3 in 10 innings after winning 20-3 and 17-7.

Pretty crazy....

Even crazier we lit up deGrom for 9 runs and 12 hits in 3.1 ip! With Riley on the injured list. Go figure.

Now you see why my Run Differential is so wacky. This has been my season with this squad.

Secondly, I think your "luck" turned around in one night.

deGrom certainly bounced back last night: 8 IP, 0 H, 1BB, 15K, and a W

Team lost the no-hitter when Hendrix gave up a 9th inning single.

Things were looking up - then I ran into Trouble. Three 1-run losses - all "come-from-behind" and two in the 9th. Grrrrr!

Ouch, those always hurt...

Don't know about my bphr luck, but my run dif/pythag got worse!

Ugh, our injury woes fail to abate. Narvaez out for 15. We have all 1 injury guys outside of my catchers and Profar with three 600 PA guys and yet we're third in total games lost.

Your Current Injuries
Narvaez, Omar, through Game 119

Recently Off the Injured List
Difo, Wilmer, healthy for Game 100
Adames, Willy, healthy for Game 102
Carlson, Dylan, healthy for Game 103

Well, we do get Spider without Schwarber and jankowski tonight so there's that.

Well Kirk is going to have to be good v RHP I guess. Hang in there guys, somehow we're still in a playoff spot.

I'll agree to let Navarez play if you do the same for Schwarber.

We are still in the WC conversation, but injuries have been an issue. We get Schwarber back after facing the Dogs. We desperately need his bat in there - but I knew his 3 injury rating was a risk. Maybe Franco will wake up for the remainder of the race. He has yet to break .600 OPS. Also need Judge to start earning his pay.
