That's pretty amazing to me considering you are being outhomered 53-23. I guess the fact that it's a $60 league makes anything possible. Just curious if there are a decent amount of additional pitching parks in the league? I may have to give it a try at $80. Previously I would always have one if not two guys who could supply some punch. Great job.

Yes, I've gotten lucky with the pitcher's parks to a degree.

I'm 21-12 at home, which I expected, because I built a team as I usually do, to absolutely dominate at home. I figured I'd have to win 2/3 of pitchers park games and 1/3 of hitter's park games to be successful. My division luckily is Cellular, O.co, and Marlins Park.

In pitcher's parks on the road, I'm 12-9 (ranging from o.Co to Busch). In 100% hitters parks I'm 0-6. My big win is my 6-0 record in Progressive and Citizen's Bank. I think my lefties in the rotation (Lee and Richard) really helped there.

Overall I am surprised at how well this team is doing, but not that I'm winning despite getting outhomered badly. I built this team to win games with no home runs at all; no wasted bphrs, so max value all poured into OBP across the board. My 1.1 Whip also helps keep the opponent HRs less damaging, and My .335+ OBP has kept some big innings going without the long ball. But with all that said, it's still early.

.379 SLG and 105 HR (last in league) -- made the finals

http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/team/1109193

Furbush and Perkins combined for 256 IP and 2.7 ERA, Mujica good too -- bullpen oriented in Marlins Park

around the horn vs RHP was Murphy Zobrist Reyes Carpenter, but experimented with Marwin G. and Will Rhymes in IF v RHP too

good platoons -- catchers combined for 23 HR 86 RBI, and Canzler in OF and sometimes 1B v LHP
