Your league ain't left-handing you enough.....

Had I a team in your division, I'd break out of the intractable Four SP Aces strategy and show you nothin' but '78 Bob Shirley/'01 Randy Wolf/'67 Dennis Bennett.

No they're not and I like it. :D I actually have the fewest games started by a Lefty against me than anyone else in the league. Climbed back to .500 last night. 4 games out of wildcard at the moment.

Surprising, but you just never know. Keep it up.

Reached the halfway point 40-41, 7 games out of division, 4 games out of wild card. Made some SP changes that have worked out so far. Was worried that this team may unfairly unbalance the league but they are staying in contention. Going to go ahead and ride it out the rest of the way.

Your team based on OPS should have scored more runs than it has.

But, your run differential suggests your record should actually be worse than it currently is.

A good defensive team will convert 75% of its X-chances. Your team is about 50%, that's a lot of outs given away.


Interesting experiment.

Like you said, it's an experiment. I like to try different themes on occasion to break up the cookie cutters. I've wanted to try this for a long time. Hasn't been a total embarressment, yet, lol so going to ride it out. Already doing my my all switch hitting team. Next up is an all injury team, 3's or worse.
