Injuries killing me too
The White Sox are a text book example of why you need injury replacements on your roster.......ā¹ļøā¹ļøā¹ļøššš
7-18 last 25 , just like I predicted on the 12th
7th in runs scored, a top bullpen, but 2-7 in extra innings
10 straight games decided by 1 run (ok one was by 2 runs)
Yet still tied for 1st , will be out of playoff contention in 15 games.
2-9 last 11 games I knew it was coming.
Three straight extra inning losses. Having the far better bullpen didnāt help.
How is it possible the Mets only have 2 home runs ? I knew I wouldnt hit a lot, only 11 so far but thats beyond rrdiculous.. Thats why this league is so tough , you just never know and by the way I'm in first until the usual 18 losses out of 25 happens like always
Why are the Angels always so good in the budget leagues? I donāt get it lolā¦ I had some hope for this Cleveland team but I guess I was wrong
And we are off !!
Hence the "on paper" line. If they're gonna struggle, it'll happen regardless of whether I say anything or not. I traditionally have p*ss poor luck on that front anyway lol
No need to offend the Baseball Gods
oooh.. I consider posts like that to be tempting fate way to much!
At least on paper...
Sheesh. I think that might be the best bullpen I've ever thrown together š
Ranked - please use
never mind. I didnt scroll down far enough
I do notice the franchise win totals need updating
Should the championship graphic below say Season 4 rather than Season 2?
Alright. I'm happy to endeavor to fix the spreadsheet if Excel help needed
Also, as the draft progresses sheik and I watch who can be who, then we will assign teams if needed to owners later in the draft once they get down to 1 team left.
The "Total Wins" section doesn't work, BUT if you look under your name and the Astros, you will see a 100.
Also, in the spreadsheet, the win totals are off. For example, the Astros, who won 100 games in the most recent season, are shown with 61 total wins
But if you're picking, say, 4th to last and the 4 teams remaining are teams you've already been, can you still pick from among those four?
Ace- when someone gets down to 1 team they can be, they get that team automatically. It happens way more often when we get 20 seasons in!
What happens if the only team(s) available when one drafts are team(s) they've already been?
Trophy is awarded and Ring Requested !!

The 2nd Round will start at 1pm (PT), day off has been granted.
WC has been played - the Angels and Cardinals advance.
The formula loves RBI so Williams
*exact same number
Uhh... Side note: Russ Ford had 160 Cy Young points and won... But Justin Verlander had the exexact same number of points. Personally, I feel Ford and Verlander should both be co-winners based on that
The numbers speak for themselves! Lol
How the bloody hell did the sim think Ted Williams had a better season than Lou Gehrig?! šš
Rootin for my Royals! Go Nate!
43-48
After 71 games we were 52-19 on pace for 118 wins. After that 44-48.
Just realized this interesting stat from a few days ago. Blue Jays had 4 shutouts in a row, and a total of 43.1 consecutive scoreless innings. Looks like the MLB record is 56 innings, but the 1903 Pirates, but I'm calling this my own personal PC record
Magic number to clinch the division is in the single digits
Wow... AL East race is pretty much over already. 20+ game lead at this time
That's rough š
11 ranked Chacin, pitching in big boost, better than Arrieta
98 ranked Jake Arrieta is pitching the same as 7 ranked Bryn Smith.
Another thing that doesn't make sense. I almost never have division leads this big anymore... Great that means I probably just jinxed it lol
Suddenly canāt beat anyone
sadly a lot of things havent made sense for a while
Should Darrin Jackson be out hitting Dave Winfield ? š¤š¤š¤
haha!
Why does the sim hate Tony Gwynn ? Injured twice now for 11 games total. He was by all accounts a really nice guy......
You beat the deadline by hours, no worries...
My apologies to all for being late to draft. I was waiting for the league to start, and then decided to "check my lineups" and saw I never drafted! I am all set now, and won't wait so long to double check myself next time. :)
My team is on deck and Iāve preranked 2 teams.
pre-ranked
And, you don't have to worry about drafting now - your pick will be made for you !! ššš
Thanks guysā¦ I rarely win in this leagueā¦ seems like Iāve had my best luck with NL Central teamsā¦ I liked the build and was lucky enough to find the magic late in the season
Congrats - I have tried the Cubs in several leagues without much success. Great Job!
Congtats Bill

Reds trail the Cubs by 1 with 1 to play.
A down the stretch colapse
Yeah I tried it once so far, didn't get very far with it. Certainly did better than I did here though! š¤£
One of my top 3 hardest teams to win with in WAR - Toronto.
Sure NOW we're gonna start winning games when losing games is actually preferable for the best possible draft pick. Because of course that's what's gonna happen š¤¦āāļø
I could put my backups in and theyād do better.
This is gonna be a lonnnnnnngggg season, isn't it?
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!
Move over Bob Feller , Peralta with opening day no-no.. Cards have exact same avg before and after game !!

Yeah they had it on me too, but we didnāt get there anyway
You knocked me out of the playoffs yankeebb - I could tie the Rockies, but they have the tie breaker.
Nice run at the end here, but too late
Pete must have been sober for that one !! ššš
Some really close WC races - in the AL, 7 teams have a chance, in the NL Marlins are only 1/2 game out.
My team canāt hit Rockies pitchers, it makes no sense to me.
Pete Alexander pitched an 11 inning perfecto!
Top ERA, least runs scores. I canāt believe this offense is that bad.
double duty One game the Cubs P.Alexander beats the Phils. Next he gets a win for the Phils. lol
Iāve never tried to select/manage a Blue Jay team in PC ā for good reason, it seems. Before yesterday, my team was 12-34 and a lock for the first pick in next seasonās draft. Then, the team goes 4-1 and against the Yankees and Red Sox, culminating with a 20-0 combined shutout win by my worst pitchers this morning. How can this be? The Blue Jays are still deservedly the lowest ranked team ā¦ but what message are the PC gods sending me? The BJās are playing the Red Sox and Yankees for the next 3 games, so perhaps things will return to normal.
