Hi guys and good luck Chasing that Ring.

Hi divisionmate! Nice to see we got randomized together; the division looks quite interesting (which, I guess, has to be expected in double A).

Funny to see Medici in a division with TWO Waterloo Bucks teams, a bit confusing

And your nemesis being in the other conference doesn't hurt, does it?

Best of luck! (except for certain series

)

I wanted Las Cruces in my Division again so badly it was killing me. We got no new Rings coming in so Las Cruces is the only Defending Champion in our League and I plan to stop that streak real quick. Lol.

You got to get away from The Breakers Division so that has to be good. I would hate to have to fight that all year long.

Jeez Snaefell you beat me 5 out of 6 games? That is so rude my friend. Lol.

True, you have been quite accomodating host and guest

But I don't think the April record is sustainable.

Anyway... my gut feeling tells me you'll be able to return the favor in the six September games, which could be more painful

Keep it up my friend. You have a 3 game lead and I think it is time to come after you before you run away and hide. Great job my friend.

:-D Nice words, my friend. It's a new feeling to have the best record in the league for a little while. But looking at the stats, I'd say it's mostly due to high BABIP of most my batters, which can't be kept. To think that I almost switched Escobar off the roster before the season! :-D

Some of your guys are due to get (even) better, so I think you are on a good and exciting track again.

I’d like to know where San Diego and the Breakers are. I wonder if they have seen this post or maybe I talk to much and they do not want to be here? Anyhow, This season is going to be quite interesting. You have taken the place of Las Cruces my friend as my Division rival. I now have to figure out how to catch you. (If at all possible) keep up the good work and keep looking in the rear view mirror because here I come. Lol.

Zorro · 11-20-2018, 05:20 PM

On second thought don’t bother looking. I cannot hold on to any lead this year. I have like 10 blown saves so far from the 7th inning on. I am not sure how to fix this. Lol.

strakapoud · 11-20-2018, 05:43 PM

I think Chicago is the team to watch. They have excitingly good pitching staff (except for poor control) and they can easily take the division.

You honor me with suggesting that I took place of Las Cruces

Your bullpen will probably catch fire sooner or later and you can definitely expect more from Joltin' Joe and possibly Cano.

Maybe the other guys are too preoccupied? Don't worry, you don't talk too much, compare with the other trash talk threads.

If you figure out the answer, let me know. I've been afflicted with this problem for 2 seasons now.

I have Sean Doolittle as my closer and in April, he had -0.7 WAR with a 1.91 WHIP, 3.3 HR/9, 6.5 BB/9 and a 7.36 ERA. He seems to have turned it around in May, but that was a brutal month.

Hi Zrog, What Team do you have?

you have won 5 out of 6 meetings against us this year and that is the difference in the standings.

True, my friend, and there is still a lot of meetings to pay me back!

Glad to see my prediction that you'll climb the standings went through. Still amazed by my guys - I have an (almost) identical team to that from previous season. It just shows how much volatility is possible in baseball.

Let’s hope we will be fighting for the Division all year long. I have won the Division every year so do not get to comfortable on top. Lol. 😜

Zorro · 11-21-2018, 08:41 AM

You are also the best team in the league playing wonderful ball. Great job.

tabasko · 11-21-2018, 09:02 AM

Hey guys, SD checking in... we have reverted to mediocrity this season, struggling to hang around .500... looks like you two are the cream of the crop, congrats! I'm adding in some new blood, maybe it will improve the clubhouse dynamic. Who knows?

Medici · 11-21-2018, 09:26 AM

Hey Fellas! Good to see so many familiar teams in this league again. Been a busy week at work with the shortened holiday week. Congrats on Strakapoud and Zorro for dominating the NC League thus far! Lot of baseball left but you're both looking good.

Tabasko, you and I may have to battle for a wild car spot if we can't get out of our .500ish ways. Lot more stars everywhere with the perfect points open now. It may be time to Steinbrenner up for a player...
