Waiting patiently for next season
We finally achieved dead last! Thanks to this 10-game (still going, who knows what it will reach) losing streak, we’ve bottomed out.
Rdiff is -122. A run and a half per game. Conclusion: We can’t hit AND we can’t pitch. We can’t even play defense.
Hitters above replacement: Four.
Pitchers above replacement: Two, both relievers.
Send us back down, coach. Please.
Thanks for the tourneys, developers. Gives us all something else to do while praying for some sort of help against megawhales.
Time to start doing position training for my birds. Who wants to try out for Shortstop? No, wait, Robin’s hitting just above replacement.
I used to think the way I rate talent overvalued defense. But it might actually over value sticks, at least in my ball park. My zone rating and deff has bottomed out, not coincidentally so has my pitching.
But we’re hitting so far below Mendoza for this league that it’s difficult to tell which is worse. If I go for more defense, the offense actually goes down…can it get any worse than dead last?
Argh, there’s just no hope whatsoever.
