NLD 55 - Le freak, c'est Chic

Well, we have went 3-3 in the last (6) games. I think some changes are in order to wake up the offense. I am still in the division race if I can put a few wins back to back so now is the time to shake some things up.

Yea like I said, I had a team that rocketed at the start, fell back and struggled during the rest of the season, fell backwards into the playoffs after losing 7 in a row ending at 82-80, then went on to win the finals. Keep hope alive!

Dale, I feel you. I've lost 9 straight, 11 of 12 & this is my second poor streak. Went 2-14 earlier. Well on the way to first pick next time!

Tough year for Greinke in this league

This team isn't getting a lot of breaks. I have two guys that are hitting,McNeil and Reynolds. They are both hurt now. Reynolds with my third 15 gamers of the season and McNeil for 5.

We're getting crushed by unearned runs, more injuries than this team should have and we're 15% in the BPHR rolls. We *have* closed the gap on one run games, but a few more bphr rolls and we'd probably be + in close games instead of -1.

Hopefully we'll be luckier the rest of the way.

Guess not.

This is what you get when you complain about injuries I guess:

Your Current Injuries
Altuve, Jose, through Game 79
Gutierrez, Kelvin, through Game 80
McNeil, Jeff, through Game 80
Cano, Robinson, through Game 83
Reynolds, Bryan, through Game 87

I literally cannot make a lineup for the first game as I have two guys who can play 3rd and 1st, and if they play there then I have no one to play 2b.

Ouch! And those 15-game injuries have all hit on "1" injury players. My high-risk injury team is about where I expected for games missed. What I wish for is that Trout decides to hit when he's in there. A .194 BA doesn't cut it.

I had Trout go .208/.372/.478 in Fenway for me once.

Sanchez injured another (3) games. Have to remember if using this type high injury have a quality back up....

Spider, not all of those injuries are 15 gamers, just the one to Reynolds right now. He's got six more to sit. But yeah, Reynolds, McNeil and Dyson all down for 15 and are 1 game guys. In fact, v RHP, only the Catcher is not a 1. Only 3 guys with 600 PA however.

V LHP, I have three guys who are 2 or worse.

Predictably we struggled against Stoney tonight. Lost the first one in extras. Oberg blowing the game (Stoney rolled almost exclusively on his own card in that inning). Got blown out, and then won one in extras.

K. Smith played second base and gave up a single and an error in his only X. Didn't cost us a run however. Next game Altuve is back and makes an error that *does* cost us a run. Go figure, that's SOM for you.
