I see a lot of familiar names, but some new names as well. This looks like it's going to be a tough year. I'm in the same division as the team that swept me in the playoffs last year (Knife JeonDan).

Doing some quick match we've got 67 playoff appearances, 10 World Series Championships, and on average each team has won 96 teams the past three years. Six teams have averaged over 105 wins.

My goal this year is to avoid relegation and hopefully not get beaten too badly. Good luck everyone.

Apple Dumplin' Gang here, I'm in the AC West

Had a crazy season 3...team won .630 at home at .407 on road...my ballpark was neutral no changes and only park in my division that adjusted finished below me and he only adjusted HR, LH/RH 1.100

It was crazy as most of season the split was .667/.333 but I rode it out (didn't make playoffs), the only change I made was minimal, picked up '85 Fisk at end of season.

I am bailing on my big draw from initial 6packs '47 Spahn (87rating)...he hasn't panned out...spent some money to get '86 Scott to start this season...he seems to have done well for others.

Have a fun season 4!

For some reason, you were moved away from us.

I haven't seen your league, but I am willing to bet you got lucky.

Welcome aboard, and good luck. That's a pretty significant home/road split. I really like Fisk's defense, and had a platoon for a good portion last year with Fisk, but hope he hits better for you than me. He was killing me at the plate.

Definitely looks like you have a solid rotation, and Scott looks like a good pickup.

Welcome Zorro, good to have you aboard. You've certainly got off to a fast start, looks like you are the last of the unbeatens. I'm impressed by your roster, so I'm glad you are in the other league.

#$@*!%!

I jinxed Scott, Zorro burped him up to start his Apple Dumplin' career...correction: Zorro burped Apple Dumplin' Gang up...it's early but it feels like it might be a long season...

Starting to dig in a little, looks like we have 15 teams from my league last year, and 15 new teams, including yourself and Zorro. Zorro looks tough, as does the Arkansas Bulldogs in your division.

I know from experience Bloomington is tough, and FireAnty has one of the best rosters I've seen, despite his slow start. It is going to be a long season.

Pueblo Penny Pinchers here. Was hoping for a .500 season. Then I saw the league. Now just hoping for a quick relegation back to Gold

Happy holidays and good luck to all this season!

Happy Holidays! I initially was hoping to avoid relegation, but I think I might be heading back down to gold with you. Either way, next year should be easier.

Yes, FireAnty looks very strong indeed.

I'm hoping that the opposite is true at least, because I'm definitely off to a slow start.

I wouldn't bet against your team not having a slow finish though, you look like you are built for the long run.

Hello Everyone. Miss Chopnation here. Looking forward to this year although looks like my Chopnation Braves have their work cut out for them!!! Merry Christmas and good luck to all!

Merry Christmas, and good to meet you - I definitely recognize your team name from last year.

Looks like you do have your work cut out for you, Zorro looks like he's got a good grip on the division.

Looks like I've been streaking since last night, ending April with 9 of 10 wins. This month I've already had a 5 game winning streak and 9 game losing streak.

I'm happy to be out of the relegation zone at least. After carrying my offense last year both Dave Parker and Tommy Davis have been ice cold. I'm hoping at least one of them can pick up some offensive slack.

I am having the weirdest season. I either win 10-0 or lose 1-0. I have not been consistent at all. I am leading in RDIff but that stat is so deceiving because I am under .500 on the road and I have lost a few games where I can’t score at all. I am very lucky having a nice lead(So far) because this is not how I want my team to play. Lol. You are having the same problem except you are losing at Home. You are in the top third with RDIff even with a losing record at home. Sometime this game is so confusing. Lol.

Weird is a good way to put it. Something just seems off this season. I keep looking for a reason, but maybe it's just weird randomness. Lol.

Playing bad at home bothers me, mostly because nothing is jumping out at me.

Lots of variability in between records and Pyt Record too. You are already -6 fairly early in the season. Seems like more variance than normal, but maybe things will even out over the season.
