What is wrong with this team?

Granted I don't play $60m very often. Still, I thought this team was going to be good. OB seems a bit too low, but OTOH it's about league average and in a 1-2 singles park to boot

I don't see too many hitters with good OBP. Also, 9 blown saves. But mostly probably just bad luck so far.

I think it's just a small sample size issue. You've only played 33 games, the average team will will 16.5 of those, and you're just 3 wins under. You're giving up one more baserunner per game in walks to the other team but almost doubling their home run output. It's small sample size and luck and too early to conclude good or bad team based on record and component stats produced.

I think the problem is that the manager is clearly a member of the Silly Party.

Looks like the bell curve at work -- bad luck. Your plus-20 in HR should have made up for your minus-33 in BB. You're only minus 11 in RS/RA. Agree with those above -- small sample size. And your manager is a member of the Silly Party, which baseball frowns upon (gotta work the refs, who, to a man, are members of the Sensible Party, or, on rare occasion, the Slightly Silly Party).

The only thing wrong with that team is he is in the same division with me. I told him preseason he had the division and I still hold to my prediction.

And the division has a Ray Davies fan! I give it to THAT guy.
