I'm absolutely amazed at how bad our pitching continues to be. We're facing Miller without Siri and he just lights up Lynn and Buehler.
On top of that we lose Verdugo for 10 with Betts out for 2 more. It appears my run of luck in the NLD has run out. This team, while may not be *that* good, I don't believe, should have an ERA approaching 5 as it is right now. At least not pitching in a relatively friendly to pitchers park. Of course, when you've rolled over 100 more times on the hitter's cards than your pitcher's it's not a good thing. On top of that we're behind significantly in BPHR rolls. Not a recipe for success I must say.
Not sure whether I should make changes or just hope the luck changes. I think we're screwed either way.

Hey JTJ
Don't forget B. Philips trying to stretch a Triple into an inside-the-park homer in bottom of ninth in game 3 too, he would have scored if he hadn't run that stop sign
My team made a slew of errors, hit 3 of 4 BP HR in a 1-4 park--I would have to agree your luck was bad.

LOL, didn't even notice those things! Seems like the way this season has gone however. I'm not sure exactly how good this team is, but I think it's at least a .500 club.
Thanks for the sympathy, it's appreciated. I think I'm going to have to make a move....If for no other reason..why not?

JTJ --- took the words right out of my mouth!!
Yeah, so we made a move. It actually didn't affect our rating much, just moved it from hitting to D and a bit more pitching. We'll see. Not sure I had much to lose and it didn't really gut the team.
(oops, never hit send on this after the first series after my moves. Posting now)
Well, the good news is we won 2, the bad news is our new SP joined the crowd and gave up 4 runs in 5.2 IP for a 6.35 ERA.
Oh! And, a couple of days after getting no-hit, we throw a no-no with my ace Luis Garcia ($1.30) going 7 and Nelson the last 2. ONly faced one over the minimum with an error and a walk (plus a DP) the only blemishes on the outing.

Yep, apparently since I can't play spoiler for the other teams in the West (I am 0-9 vs. Gumby!), I guess the beanballs were flying! 15g/7g/6g injuries to Gumby's squad. TAKE THAT!
