June

Well, I’m starting to believe the team came to play this year. 1st in division, and (get this) 1st overall…barely, one game lead.

Doesn’t look like there are any runaway 130-win rock crusher teams in D402, and that may be the difference. The season just has a qualitatively different feel when no one’s dominating everything start to finish.

I’m certainly not dominating. Five total teams above .600, none above .640. Tight grouping, competitive.

The Penguins are playing pretty well, with some obvious issues.

For June, 18-10 (.643) Runs scored: 5th Runs allowed: 3rd (tie)

Bullpen 3rd, Starters 4th, Defense 6th. Not the most bulletproof outfield I’ve ever played, but they’re doing okay. Wish I had one of the better Bonds cards, LF is a problem right now. Kris Bryant? Heh.

Stolen Bases 1st (!!!) Base running 2nd (!!!)

Must be the glaciers on the base paths.

Do those numbers sound like a dominating team? Winning, sure. But not one that will lead the league for long.

Still, the second half of this year’s schedule is actually a little easier than the first, ‘cording to the forecast model. We might be all right.

Then again, we may face-plant in September, like the last few years :mutter:

Notable games…hmm. We have to go back to June 4, when Dizzy threw a Maddux.

Other than that, a lot of pretty average games. 4-3 3-1 5-3 2-1 (yawn).
