NLD 65 - The Big Maple Takes the Mound

Right now, after a promising start, injuries doing us in.

The dice gods have not been a big fan of the Swingers of late! We have fallen all the way to 3rd!

I still have the worst run differential in the league at -37, but it was -68

Wow, I'm not sure I've seen the league's worst run differential in first place this late in the season! (and by 3 games no less!)

KLX, the good news is the East is a tight race so plenty of time to get back to the top.

Holy Crap, Steve has won 12 of 13!

Had a run of good dice rolls after a run of horrendous rolls. And also a run of home games which didn't hurt.

Team ERA should (in theory) drift down to 3.6-3.8. It's still at 4.5. I can't really see it falling below 4.0 but I'd be happy if it did.

I don't have any delusions about making the playoffs but this team -should- finish above .500.

But obviously, this is a very tough league and a tough division. So who knows...

It's still at 4.5.

Correction. 4.41.

Not much to cheer about for the worst team in the league but a sweep of the division leaders helps the home fans a little bit.

Ugh, yeah, you got me Stones.

We lost Flores for 15 and don't have Valdez to start against KLX in the next series. Could be a gut check for the squad. Gotta find a way to win some games without our normal 1b.

Well, it seems the swoon has hit me. Lost 8 of 9 and Alvarez out for 15 and Judge for 10.
Thankfully my division pals don't seem to want to capitalize --- yet!
I definitely can see that big lead going up in smoke.
