Lefty Grove
Lefty Williams
Lefty Gomez
Lefty Tyler
Lefty Stewart
Lefty Leifield
Lefty Wilkie
Lefty Weinert
Lefty Bertrand
Lefty Atkinson

not sure about position players... other than O'Doul and maybe Lefty Marr

The thing is, they're all named Lefty for a reason. There won't be many catchers, 2B, SS and 3B named Lefty.

Lefty Wright exist?

Well, we will both play hard but I have been trying to get ahead of you the whole season and just now caught up. Every time I get really hot you answer the bell with a streak too..

We have a heck of a season going in our Division Race. I think it will be a dog fight to the end. Its gonna be a fun season all the way. I hate that things have gone south for vyshka this season.

Have you tweaked your strategy back yet?

Malova · 12-13-2018, 07:08 PM

So, here is my League and my Team, I have made some drastic changes at the All-Star Break hoping from a defensive standpoint it doesn't kill the offense I just injected into the team!

Haven't tweaked it back to what it was originally yet. Went on that crazy run last month so I left it on to see if it was an outlier or not. I want to get a bigger sample size.

Your going to force me to play my stronger arms in the outfield and give up a little offense

Wait! I don't have but one stronger arm.

Thalion · 12-13-2018, 07:22 PM

That's the intent.

But I know one more team that got a payout.

Sometimes I just want to facepalm.

I need to buy five packs right now just to sooth my troubled soul. I could use a hug regardless.

Ouch! What a game that was. Thanks for sharing that. Imagine the feeling if you were watching it in RTS mode.

After throwing in the towel after a dreadful 8-20 May things are looking up. I'm still 9 games under .500, but at least feel safe from relegation. Hopefully can keep things up through the end of the year at least.

Whoofe · 12-13-2018, 11:05 PM

crazy season for my 2nd team. figured season was a write-off, so i'd just let PP accumulate & make changes on the weekend to prepare for next season

was 15 games under .500

just won 14 in a row until the most recent game being a loss

back in the hunt

might as well let it ride

scott1964 · 12-13-2018, 11:44 PM

Wished this happened more often.

Thalion · 12-14-2018, 02:04 AM

Wow, what a brutal month of July! 9-15 for the month. Ugh!

I need to go kick the virtual water fountain in the dugout.

Morug · 12-14-2018, 02:16 AM

Its was not my best month too...but a try some players and strategies too, that dont help. With 11 GB, I have the luxuary to do some test.

old timer · 12-14-2018, 02:37 AM

Well, we made our quota for the month of 15 wins. Still holding on to the WC lead, but not sure how long we can hold it. I've only been able to add 1 player so far this season due to so few achievements and the WC contenders appear to be upgrading much more.

My July in the Bronze League was brutal like that.

I just waded through 10 games of an 11 game stretch against the Targaryen Dragons, Catalina Island Bisons and some team named Walnut Creek Geezers

. I am 8-2 with one game left against you in this run. There is plenty of time left though. I got back to within 1 game of the Bisons last season but lost 2 of 3 to them in the last September series. Now I have to fear you going on a hot streak like you always do

Dorfmann · 12-14-2018, 11:55 AM

I'm not doing too hot this season.

There is no way I can compete in my current league without spending money, which is unfortunate. There are multiple teams that were obviously bought, including one in my division that includes a starting rotation all above 95 (two perfects) and a lineup of all diamonds and a few perfects.

There is no way that you know a team was or was not bought with money. All AH purchases are bought with PP, but how that PP was attained by individual players is obviously hard for you to understand. I sold a Lou Gehrig Perfect this morning for 188,000 PP. I got this card from a pack and it is not the first perfect that I have sold. I have bought 2 diamonds this morning and still have 137k of that PP. My team is dominant for now because I worked at it using the AH .

Remember its just a game. Have fun

when you throw those numbers out it makes me look like a struggling northwoods league team compared to your Dodgers/Yankees budget
