NLD 40 - Over the hill but picking up steam!

My Coors formula appears to be working out. My spot bull pen players have been fantastic giles and soria putting in work.The otherwise mediocre pitching is buoyed by above average offense and adequate D. Tough series tonight as spider comes to town.

If only I could get some production from my OF or play Joe every day

The Knights cleaned my clock the last time at Coors. I'll be happy to get one win tonight.

Losing Zimmerman for 15 did not bring joy to the Gap.

After losing five straight series (including one sweep) I was beginning to think every team was your team Stoney! We finally took two tonight (of course it helped getting Tulo back after 9 games)

At the same time, Smokey got hot including an eight game win streak and multiple, multiple series wins turned a decent lead into a four game deficit (now three thanks to Spider )

Glad to see some others finally posting on the forum, I was beginning to think I was the only one paying attention.

Only three teams with any real traction in run diff. And for some reason, its not helping semper. Interesting league.

Yeah, we had the best run diff for awhile there, but that slump put us in the negatives. Luckily we're doing well in one run games so far.

Wow, game two with Semper tonight. He won 6-2, but check this out:

INJURIES:
Gregor Blanco INJURED (for 3 more games) in 2nd inning
Robinson Cano INJURED (for 3 more games) in 2nd inning
Matt Adams INJURED (for 8 more games) in 3rd inning
Elian Herrera INJURED (for 1 more game) in 7th inning



Those are all his players!

We have some nice division races going on through 96 games.

Wow, got lucky with a sweep of Smokey last night.

Spider, you're right, some great races the West remains incredibly close and there are three teams in each of the other two divisions that are in the running for a Playoff spot!

At long last, the ratings!

The biggest surprise is how well the West, despite their .500 records rates. Very surprising.

Overall Ratings. Biggest surprises are in the West where Big A and GB have underperformed. Big A's rating is skewed by his off the charts defense so I'm sort of not surprised that he's under performing. Gb is a great pitching team and teams that are very skewed one way can definitely vary from the ratings. Other than that, AT has his "normal" over perform for his rating. One thing to note is that Dale is < 1000. That's because he's sitting with ~53 mil in cap on his team. Just aren't going to get a good rating spending 27 mil less than the other teams.

Pitching/Fielding

JTJ should have better defense and Dale has done better than expected, but he's dumped so much of his team, his rating is pretty much meaningless.

I haven't run the comparison on fielding versus the X-chart, but here's the fielding in order. You can see Big A's crazy number. Stoney would normally be at the top, but he's not even close. Really no one has a lousy D except for Dale. The 559 that Spider and AT have are really only a little under what I would consider average.
