NLD 59 - Satchel Commemorative League

Six out? We're you missing a pitcher also? Well, you have me beat for sure!

No, I just can't count. Joe was on both the "out" list and "just returned" list - so I counted him twice. I did lose Sale for 3 (no pain there), but that was earlier.

I play the next two games with Brown, Beaty and Culberson in the OF - Yaz, Reynolds, Brinson, and Joe are injured. My staff needs to throw only GBs. Reynolds is back for game 3 and I'm sure he can cover for the other two.

Dang! Milleram is HOT

10 out of 12. Sheesh. And, only two one run wins in the bunch.

As much as I like Jeep, and I was all for Jeep the year he won the PC--I have to root for Dale in east this time--he's due.

Dale is, no doubt, due. I'm not taking sides because he's 4-2 against me so I'm not sure I'd want to see him if the playoffs were I so lucky as to make them.

But yeah, he's due for a few die rolls to go his way.

Well my squad is playing totally different than the beginning of the year, as I replaced 3 Pitchers whose combined record was 0-12. The three new guys have a 10-5 combined record. I was able to afford to do that almost entirely by simply replacing Riley with Maxfield. Maxfield has even put up better numbers than Riley was doing at the time. I guess what I'm saying is I feel like I've got a squad now that can finish at the top. Especially with the bulletin board material I have now

That said, I'm sure I have doomed my squad for the rest of the season by saying the above.

LOL

doesn't it always seem that way?

I'll try to get to the ratings soon, now that we've cleared teh 81 game mark. Surprisingly there were NO moves at the deadline!

Finally time for ratings

According to the ratings there are two top teams, a first tier, a middle and a second tier.

Breaks down like this
Miller, JTJ
Semp, Jeep, Spider, Randal
KLX,Stoney
toshiro, hawk, Dale, Big A

West   7779   4886   500   5386   2393



The West has the best overall rating, the East the worst, but the East has the most offense. The West the best pitching be a good distance. Some of that, of course, is due to the non HR parks in the West.

The ratings would say this about the races:
East - Jeep is the best, but KLX isn't *that* far back. Hawk and Dale should be also rans.
Central - Semp has a slight edge over Spidy and Randal, but it should be a dog fight. Big A doesn't rate well.
West - Two team race between Miller and JTJ with the loser getting the WC. Stones and toshiro would project to be a lot lower.
WC - The second place team in the West would be the favorite, but the second place team from the Central would have a shot.

Overall
Ratings a farily close overall. Only Spider and KLX are under and no one is really over.

Yeah, it's REALLY bad, I must have just messed up the copy paste. I've updated above.
