Huntley ended Tuesday's simulations with an active 16-game winning streak that extended to 18 games before being broken by...the Cincinnati Redlegs! BigRed75's Redlegs actually split that series with Huntley, taking 2 of 4 on their home turf, and have won 4 of the 10 matchups with Huntley so far this season. At the beginning of July, the Redlegs are sitting at--wait for it--.500, 40-40, in third place in the NC East, 8 games behind the second-place Houston Ragin Cajuns, and 1.5 games behind the Miami Jeters in the race for the second Wild Card spot.

All this "Redlegs by Red Raiders" recap leads to is my humble observation that, if BigRed75 can claim that second Wild Card spot and then upset Houston, they will be in the coveted Wild Card Team That Finished Way Behind a Dominant Regular Season Huntley Team But Nevertheless Upsets Them in the Division Series position, held the previous 2 seasons by the Summit Dirigibles and the Bat Cave Bat Chain Pullers. The Chain Pullers even managed to build off the momentum of taking out Huntley by winning the Perfect League championship! So, BigRed75, you're nearly exactly where you need to be to have a great postseason run; grab that Wild Card!

As for the Red Raiders, with an 18-7 June, we sit at 61-18, putting a little distance between us and the Excelsior Dodgers (56-25) for the best NC record but also increasing the distance between Huntley and the Amberg Legends (68-14) for best overall P440 record. Individual player updates:

- Rube Waddell had another great month, with a 1.57 ERA and 278 ERA+ in his 5 June starts, boosting his W-L record to a stellar...6-5.

- Arky Vaughan shall henceforth (this season because I'll forget next week) be known as "Whiplash."
April: .361/.432/.569
May: .132/.210/.154
June: .282/.352/.538

- George Brett put together a nice .324/.381/.500 June, helped out by being benched against lefties in favor of Whiplash's mediocre .256/.304/.372 batting line against southpaws for the season, which far outpaces Brett's .145/.159/.226.

Standings, Rube Waddell's continuing struggles against his own offense, and the craziest WPA graph I've seen in quite a while follow...
