NLD46 - The Petite Oakland Trio League

The weather is getting cold, but Spider is red hot. He's leashing his web upon all of us and there's nothing we can do about it. Not even the Carolina cold mountain air can stop him.

And Joe, what happened last night is certainly an anomaly. You get a 4 HR game (Beltre) but lose by 5.

Last night Carolina's rain washed out my web and GB swept it away - and the Moose squashed Carpenter for 15 in the process.

4th in runs scored, 5th in runs against. Tied best run differential. Next last in record. 4-13 in 1-run games might have something to do with that.

Smokey, I cannot believe that you're last in runs scored! Something is amiss there for sure. I was very surprised when we played games with scores 2-1, 6-0 and 4-1 in GAP last night.

True you have a couple of pitcher's parks in your division, but I don't think you're going to stay at the bottom of the runs scored forever. Your slash lines aren't bad so that would tell me that you're leaving a lot of guys on base.

I hoping to get my offense going too, but I think I've done decently considering my slash line. I think I'm fortunate to be where we are. You've had the opposite issue.

4-13 in 1-run games might have something to do with that.

Yeah, for sure that's a tough start for you Stones.

Stones, not much I can say. All three close games. Only one by one run and that went extras. I'm guessing it's been the story of your season so far....

Jeep has yet to play extra-innings. Odd.
Considering that he's leading his division, Happy Gilmour's famous, "I'll just beat him now." comes to mind.

Yeah, that is very strange. Now watch, Jeep and I will go extras all three games tonight.

Nope, no extras. Our hitting came around a bit so we won two and then...only scored one run in the loss. Needed to save few runs for that last game!

Interesting to note, the only team with a positive run dif in the west is Stoney and he's in last place! Not beating a dead horse here (sorry Stones) but I just thought that it was weird!

Also of note, BIG trade between Hawk and Dale, come on boys, let's hear the why's and wherefores on the trade!

I also note that Falcon picked up Aoki and Loney for Valencia.

I love the offence that Valencia brings, but I needed someone, anyone, who "swings the other way".
