NLD 37 - One More For 20 - 1 - 4

Sorry Guys, just busy with Christmas and other activities.

Had to make a move tonight. Cuddyer was going to be out for another 14 games and we can't afford any more poor play. Hopefully Myers will help us v LHP and stay off the DL.

Cuddyer was always a gamble, he was my best offensive player, but the injuries just added up. Guess I'm glad, if he was going to get hurt, he got hurt before the deadline. The *normal* expectation would be 21 games, but he was going to miss 30 (with more possible) just can't live w/o him for so long. On top of that we also have Rajai out for 10 (8 more) so the combo v LHP was brutal.

Such is SOM, never know how the injuries are going to treat you.

I'm only working on Tuesday this week so I hope to get the stats done soon.

Ok, here goes

GB and AT are way over performing their ratings. I assume in AT's case it's due to fewer injuries than expected. Spider and Corky may be a little off, but the difference between the best record and 7th is only seven games so.... I also haven't done the ratings for each park. There are some big differences in parks and there are some big differences in home and away records this time around. Also in GB's case he's been very good in one run games.

Offenses are all very close to correct. Stoney is a little low, but the rest are close. Again, the runs scored are very close. There are five teams between 437 and 426!

As expected Big A is in first, by a LOT. Corky is quite a bit worse than expected and Semper and GB are much better.

I know how you feel with the $ gambles as I called the ball early on Harper.

I'm surprised my pitching is faired so far.

We dropped two last night to the Beer guy. HAL didn't use my lineup against Harvey and made up its own. It seems he doesn't like me.

I think it's because Harvey (5L) is kind of an 'extreme' reverse RHSP.

No reverse lineup settings or avoids for Ethier. I suspect his prior series injury was for a day longer than reported. Otherwise, HAL would have inserted him into the lineup card.

According to Joe's stats, my pitching staff ranks near a Little League team filled with 11 year olds

Thanks for taking the time to post these Joe. Hitting has been a disappointment(maybe it's the park I chose). But I've dropped a ton of one run games.

Semp, you're still much better than AT!

Remember that those are park and defense adjusted so....

So we suck even more than a little league team.

Thanks for the ratings Joe. My team read them and realized how much they were under performing. I am interested in the ballpark ratings when you get a chance to do them. I don't think I've done a good job this season matching teams and ballparks.
