One of the most exhilarating feelings is when you download the new file and discover that you lit up perfect Pedro. Even perfect Pedro has his off-days.

Yes, I have beat him also .....But......I sure would like to have him. But the price Is not in my pay grade. God bless the ones who can. 😁

Fred Lynn (95) is hitting .323/.379/.497, which is very respectable in this league. He has been working on his defense in LF, and has improved to a 50 rating in LF so far. I expect him to reach 65 or 70 eventually.

Tris Speaker (94) is hitting .333/.403/.611, which is quite pleasing. As mentioned earlier, he is not happy to be playing RF, and he has only achieved a 35 rating in RF to date. But with that slash line, I can afford to be patient with his defense. He should rate 65 in RF in due time.

My final "upgrade," Nomar Garciaparra at 2B, has been a disaster so far. He is hitting worse than Lindor, and, of course, is fielding worse while he learns the position. I'm going to end this experiment, and bring back Lindor for the remainder of the season, as he can at least accumulate some WAR with his 80 fielding at 2B.

Good job. 67pct is good in any league. ...😁

Good god, that Aqua Sox pitching is just so perfectly aligned with the ballpark, which in turn is a great fit for the lineup's boppers. A well-oiled machine, indeed.

I wonder if the Aqua Sox will take me on as a disciple? Sort of like studying under a Jedi master.

Yes, They have made it quite clear that in our Division one must get to the playoffs by Wild Card. They are truly a Gem .👏🍻😁

I thought only 2 teams get bounced? Maybe I misunderstood?

You cost me some money my friend. You stopped Lajoie 30 game hit streak. Also, What is up with Jones? He kills me every year. he went 6-16 again against me in our series with some very big hits at big moments.😩

I was two last year. It's four this year. I have no idea why it changed.

I am working up to making some changes that will hopefully make me more competitive. I need to fill out some more spreadsheets first.

I saw Pedro go for almost that much alone. I sure wish I had him. I need him or someone to step up and be the ace on this team.We are hitting over .300 as a team but can’t stop the other teams from scoring. I have been down by 2 or more runs after 5 innings over 40 times and came back to win the game. My starters keep getting us in a hole. I am not sure we can keep,this coming back up all year long. We need someone to hold teams so we can get a damn lead. (And If we do score early, They score more and hence another comeback.) It gets frustrating to watch and so energy draining . 😩

Forget that spreadsheet and just score some more runs. Lol. 😁

Welcome to my life man, last year we had a top 3 pitching staff. This year we are like bottom 3 in the conference. It is almost the entirely same group. It is soooo frustrating.

Zorro · 01-10-2019, 02:34 PM

As of this moment I have the 2nd best record in the whole league and Everett is running away from me like I was standing still. The last time I lost a Division was in the Silver league and the same thing happened. I lost the Division by 18 games but was lucky enough to gain a Wild Card birth. As luck would have it I swept him 3-0 in our playoff series to show what can happen in the playoffs. He also had a great team but that was in the silver league. Everett is doing this in the Perfect league where there is nothing but the best of the best players in this league.I really have to tip my hat to him. What a wonderful job he is doing so far. 👍😁

And of course when I say something good I jinx myself and start a losing streak. I was not saying I was good but was saying how good HE was. Jeez.....🤷*♂️

It’s bad karma.
