The Hoggs made the playoffs last week as a wildcard but got knocked out in the Division Series - the Apple Dumpling Gang were in our division and just too good, winning 100+ and sweeping the finals on their way back to promotion to Perfect.
Last season was tough for us. We scored only 669 (which is around our average) but conceded 660, our 3.89 ERA the highest we've ever allowed in Diamond.
So far this season we're tracking at 22-17. We haven't made any major changes over the last couple campaigns. Pulled 93OVR CL Brian Wilson last week, who is a great add for our pen. This week pulled rookie Ichiro and Otis Nixon and decided to use them both. Rookie Ichiro replaces record-breaker Ichiro (rookie Ichiro has better defense, better stealing, and is an excellent bunt-for-hit guy). I'm using Nixon in a similar way - starting against LHP and every 4th game against RHP - as he's also a great bunter and a terror on the basepaths.
