B'sin'Glou are 50-57, and now 1 1/2 games up in the AC Central in B218...

Treydmarq · 04-05-2019, 06:53 AM

The San Angelo Colts currently sit at 56-49, 10 games behind first but only 1.5 games out of second, with a tremendous 9 game winning streak currently and are 18-5 over the past 4 weeks of games.

Justin Verlander has been the ace of the staff, and is currently leading the league or in the top 6 of wins (15), innings pitched (163.1), strikeouts (167), ERA (2.81), WHIP (0.98), K:BB (6.7), K/9 (9.2), shutouts (3) and complete games(5). He also leads all pitchers in WAR at 3.9.

The MVP on the offensive side of things, for the month of July and the extent of the current winning streak, is Lorenzo Cain. He has 35 hits, 5 XBH, 13 R and is batting 0.376 for the month. George Springer has also been a huge contributor, hitting 6 homers, with an almost 1:1 K:BB and fantastic defense in RF. The two newest contributors are Carlton Fisk and Alex Bregman, both with 17 or less games under their belt and both have contributed fantastically at the plate.

The Colts have one more game left in the month and hope to win it, extending their winning streak to 10 games and continuing to put the heat on 2nd place in the division.

My Las Vegas Black Panthers are still in the opposite situation as your team, 65-42 and in third place in the division a whole 6 games back. We're in 4th place in the league. My other 65-win team is leading their division by 13 games.

UltimateAverageGuy · 04-05-2019, 01:38 PM

My Rochdale Village Puppies were on a very odd streak of not getting a single achievement from July 15th through August 3rd, and on August 4th I got the very rare 2,500PP achievement strike out 4 batters in one inning.

That sure made up I'll say.

Morug · 04-05-2019, 03:22 PM

My Expos battle for a wild card spot or winning the division 2-3 GB for both situation. My Angels are in playoff for now...with a 6 games leading for the wild card spot...but impossible to win the division, im 10 GB vs a very good and stacked club with Braves players.

Expos are very funny to manage, I have a very bad starting pitching staff, with a decent bullpen, I'm surprised they are running for a second playoof run at a higher level. Walker, Wallach, Guerrero are dominant offensively and my new addition of Jose Vidro is very good with a .377 2 hr 22 rbi in 114 AB.

Westheim · 04-05-2019, 06:58 PM

Raccoons are now 85-36 in Silver. That is with one perfect (Walter Johnson), two diamond (Soto, Treinen), and ten gold cards. The rest is silver and bronze. I sense some overachievement here that will lead to a crushing sweep in the LDS.

I added a 1950 Hank Thompson (80) as defensive upgrade at third base. Problem is, kid won't hit.

And I found out that I am already the third owner of that card.

… oh well, at least he came me only 1,001 PP …...

waittilnextyear · 04-05-2019, 11:33 PM

The Frogs have played 21 games in August (11-10) and earned a grand total of 220 PP in those games.

It's hard out there for a F2P team sometimes.

OMGPuppies · 04-05-2019, 11:46 PM

Aina Haina Parakeets 16-5 this month so far despite having a horrible offense that has only scored 401 runs so far.

Westheim · 04-06-2019, 02:07 AM

Chattanooga is 73-60 after a 17-8 August and suddenly holds a 5-game lead. Oh boy, if that squad gets to Gold, it's gonna be ugly…

Portland? 95-38 …! Our magic number to clinch a playoff spot is… ONE.

On our way to Gold Level:

Germaniac · 04-06-2019, 04:44 PM

Cal Eldred has been a very good acquisition

Warhawk · 04-06-2019, 06:56 PM

According to a very confusing news item that found my inbox, my team, the American Conference Central Division, has clinched at least a wild card berth, but they still hope to finish first in the Las Vegas Black Panthers.

Izz · 04-06-2019, 08:37 PM

B'sin'Glou has tasted the sweet nectar of .500 ball! We're currently 76-75, 5 1/2 games ahead in the conference of crap. We have 203 dingers, most in the league, and a .349 OBP, which is also best in the league.

Our defense, on the other hand, is atrocious. Our ZR is -40.3, and our efficiency an eye-poppingly bad .669 - which somehow is only 2nd-worst of the 30 teams in B218.

Chico Guilbault · 04-06-2019, 09:53 PM

Sitting here looking forward to the playoffs in my Iron league and decided to open a couple packs. Pulled this baby out of the second one...my night is made.

mcdog512 · 04-06-2019, 09:54 PM

He'll kick some arse in Iron for sure.

Izz · 04-06-2019, 10:48 PM

B'sin'Glou have stamped their playoff ticket and look like they'll finish the regular season above .500. Win! Stanton's dinged 40 for the second season running and looks set for the HR crown unless some of the guys on 32 whack 9 in the next 7 games and he goes back to dinking singles.

Following up on this, the 2nd half of the season has treated the Colts VERY well, as they are now 1/2 game up on 2nd place.

Carlos Carrasco, Mike Hampton and Lance McCullers have been absolute maniacs pitching to some amazing stats (combined ERA under 2.25 in the month of September).

Carlton Fisk, my newish addition to the squad, has lit a fire under the offensive bats, hitting 14 homers in 53 games with a whopping 3 WAR in those games. Adalberto Mondesi and Alex Bregman, who also have been around for 53/54 games, have both contributed 2+ WAR, while chipping in great OPS and Mondesi has 33 SB already.

There are 5 games left in the season, with 3 more games against the 2nd place team (former 1st, but winning 3 of 4 from them in the most recent series put a dent in that lead).

We've also locked up a playoff spot, whether it is the division or wild card spot.
