I think my copy of OOTP is broken and needs fixing. I've got half my back-to-back Perfect Series appearing Vikings batting below the Mendoza Line. My boy Griffey who has a gigantic trophy case has gone from a 6.0 WAR season to being on pace for -2.2 WAR.
What gives, Junior? He's still smiling. Get angry! |

Yeah, what's up with the Vikings this year? Maybe some teams have finally figured out how to counter the lefty thing, and they are in your division...
So I took a look, and that might well be the case. The Palolo Puppies are in a righty ball-park and have two left-hand starters. The Caspers have an all-right hand strong-hitting lineup against lefties, which means when they are at home they can dominate your pitching, and they also have two lefties in their starting rotation. The Syrups also have two lefties among their starters. Meanwhile, California is also in your division, is also a lefty ballclub, and after five straight playoff appearances, is also under .500 this year. Maybe the lefty-meta is finally losing its sting. What I have been thinking is that having two or three lefties in your starting rotation (if you can micromanage to actually have them do the starting when you are visiting the lefty ballpark so much the better), and a lineup against lefties that has very strong splits against lefties is the key to beating a lefty team. I have intentionally worked on the Caspers to help counter a lefty ballclub and it looks like it might be working.... Obviously Palolo has, too. .

Yeah it's a bit of countering and a bit of bad luck. I have woeful BABIPs. But interestingly my team has actually done better against LHP than RHP.
The Vikings have played a whole lot more road games than home games, and are starting to get a better record going. So they'll finish stronger. But it's probably too late to make the playoffs. Meanwhile, in a random Perfect League the Cowboys are 1st in their division despite being much more unlucky than the Vikings in card draws and card sales. So the Our League Perfect League is very competitive. |

Birds Soar in OL S314
On the strength of a 13-6 month, Redmond found itself roosting in the catbird seat, while, dare I say, I pity the fool who had to square off against Southside, as the Sluggers pounded out a 12-1 record. Steelport grabbed the third spot, posting a 10-3 mark, and Everett drew closer to the race, going 8-1.

D355 Update
Impalers Vault to Top of Dogpile in Diamond OL
The Transylvania Impalers rode a 7-2 mark in June to take over the top spit in Diamond. They're not in the clear, though, as there's still a pack of contenders right behind them, fighting for the top. |

Sanguine takes the lead with a 0-0 record last month. Sanguine, along with Arkham, are the only OL team in their respective divisions.
Sanguine only has one OL series after this month, with a strong month they could be tough to catch!

One of those interlopers is one of Charlatan's teams. Ha.

Pappyzan, you had such a nice sig with a full ribbon of trophies, where did it go? Decided to go full humble?

If I could make it smaller I'd use it, but I haven't figured out how to code it to shrink/resize it. It might not be an available option in vBulletin, I dunno. |

I don’t believe there is an easy option available. VBulletin is pretty locked down so you can’t easily set your preferred image size in the options or via tags. But you can save/resize/upload to external website/replace URLs. At 70%, it looks a little smaller.

Yep, 70% is a much better size. Dunno if I'd want to manually do that every time there's a change in one of the ribbons, but it indeed looks better.

It's too bad we can't have a system with consistent teams in consistent divisions. Maybe next year?

I think the Mets theme team has run its course, having took them 2+ months to get out of bronze and now realizing that silver is as high as it can go without paying up money that I don't have. I can always revisit the theme on one of my non-OL pack only teams.
Going forward, current theme idea is a Northeast Corridor theme involving multiple states (Massachussets, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Washington D.C.) https://www.baseball-almanac.com/pla...loc=New%20York All the players that are from New York, just for an example of who would qualify for the team. Some guys with at least gold cards on there, including Warren Spahn, Sandy Koufax, King Kelly, Waite Hoyt, Orel Hershiser, Heinie Groh, Heinie Zimmerman, Hank Greenberg, Lou Gehrig, Joe Sambito, Frankie Frisch, etc. are on there.

been tracking the players I get from packs on the Waffletown club since day 1, and the stats just go to show why I don't spend any points on packs with this team (all packs from CM games or missions should I have the players to fulfill them):
59 total packs (includes starter pack players), 354 cards received: -300 cards Live 2019 (84.7%) -26 cards Historical all star (7.3%) -4 cards One hit wonder (1.1%) -5 cards Record breaker (1.4%) -4 cards Hardware heroes (1.1%) -10 cards Unsung heroes (2.8%) -5 cards Rookie sensation (1.4%) -0 cards Future legends / All time legends that's some craptacular luck if the live-to-historical split is supposed to be closer to 70/30 |
