Yeah, I don't know. NOTHING has worked this season. The level of SUCK we talk about is as below. And Mel's far from the only one with that sort of stat line after years and years of more or less steady production.
There is no explanation. My ballpark stats slightly favor offense and have been for years. All teams in my division have neutral parks or parks that favor offense (except for homers). There is no reason Mel should bat one-****ing-ninety.
The Raccoons are currently in the red zone, 2 1/2 games out of a safe spot. At this point I don't know whether to laugh or cry or both.
Rebs are still 4 1/2 ahead in their division. The Accountants are 20 back and have nothing to play out but the string. |
It sounds like how 2040 went for my Raccoons. It was our 1st of 2 years in that whale league and we won only 77 games after having averaged 114 up to that point. We did much better the next season in the same league with no changes made on my part.
During that one season, Campanella hit only .194, Keefe had a 5.54 ERA after winning the pitching triple crown the year before and Clarkson had a 6.22 ERA. So it was a year where we had multiple people do poorly combined with much tougher competition.
In other words, I'm willing to bet things will go much better for your Raccoons next season like it did for us (even if you don't make any improvements). But it sucks to have to endure such a season.
