I never thought I'd see the day where MIKE TROUT or MOOKIE BETTS wasn't the top vote getter for the All Star game (or one or two other guys).
Today in my league, my guy was the top vote getter - BIZ MACKEY. Woo!

The Frogs are continuing to hone in on either the #1 or #2 seed in the conference playoff picture. The squad is 79-54.
In other news, got a large sum of PP for an achievement for the first time in a long time. Turned a triple play, and that's worth 2000 PP. I'm looking at the game log and trying to figure out the scoring. There were runners on 1st and 2nd and the game log says "Grounds into TRIPLE play, U5-4." Struggling to understand how the third baseman somehow gets 2 outs unassisted on a grounder. It was a RHB that hit the ball, so the defense wasn't in some sort of crazy shift. I could see 5-4-3, but U5-4? EDIT: Mystery solved. The box score says it went Ventura-Simmons-Hernandez, which would indeed be 5-4-3 based on the alignment in that game. That makes a lot more sense.

The Patriots have fallen apart and now sit at 66-65, pretty much out of playoff contention. The run I was hoping for just isn't going to materialize. I mean, I knew we weren't gonna be good enough, but at the very least I wanted to keep some sort of false hope
Here's to another season of bronze mid-tier futility. At least we probably won't finish last in the division again. Last edited by Magus978; 05-10-2019 at 11:59 PM. |

The Angels are still holding on to the second wildcard spot in Perfect 407. They've got a 5 game lead over the Kushiro Kernels. The Pennant Race screen gives the Angels an 84% chance to secure the spot.
My schedule for September is a bit askew. Games are against either the basement-dweller teams or the elite ones. 13 games against the former, 12 against the latter. The only exception is the final three games of the season against the Kernels -- a series that may just decide who gets that spot. By my count, the Kernels only have 4 games against the elite teams so I'm pretty skeptical of this 84% chance. I'm 10-22 against the elite teams I'm facing so not expecting many wins in those 13 games. I pulled Noah Syndergaard from a pack so I dumped Blake Snell onto the reserve roster. Snell's been dreadful at Perfect level (Syndergaard hasn't been much better though). 7.29 ERA, 7.47 FIP, 1.71 WHIP, 2.5 HR/9, 5.4 BB/9, 6.6 K/9. a WAR of -1.9. Not too sure if I should sell off Snell or if he's worthwhile converting to a reliever. He only has three pitches so that's probably limiting his effectiveness as a starter.

The Rebels followed up an 8-15 July with a 5-22 August and are now headed for relegation to bronze. Nothing to say or do about that, really. Their demise is divined.
The Raccoons are so hellbent on crummy I have a hard time distinguishing them from the actual Raccoons. Right at the .500 mark in diamond. Not a budge in either direction since May. Yesterday's addition Hal Schumacher went 1-2 with a 5.28 ERA. My goodness.

Well, probably not going to make the playoffs at 65-68, 9 1/2 games out of the wild card.
Did notice one odd quirk. We are 4-9 against the top team in my division. We're 4-0 against his Roy Halladay (who is 9-3 against all other teams), and 0-9 against the rest of his starters. So anyway, just pulled a 92 OVR Charlie Gehringer who looks pretty solid, and since we're out of it at this point I think I'll spend the last month doing some cross-position training for my current infielders (Gehringer, Tulowitzki, Madrigal, Rosen, and Machado) just to give me some more options going forward.

Team runs scored is now 6th (was 12th) and the defense is still strong (in fact, Mays is better than Trout in CF). My record since the all-star break is 27-10 vs. 53-45 before the break. tl;dr version: I had a problem. I threw money at it. It's fixed now. |

Saints are in a critical series against the very tough Eden Gladiators.....Eden took game one against newly aquired Kevin Brown who apparently sucks.....

B'sin'Glou are 88-60, the first team in the AC of G308 to clinch their division. 1st in runs scored, 5th in runs against.

10 games to go, I'm 81-71 and in the second wildcard spot. The team behind me is 76-76. Problem is my last 10 games are 4 games against a 109-43 team, 3 games against a 94-58 team, and a final 3 games against that 76-76 team after my wildcard spot.
Meanwhile, they have 3 games against a 59-94 team, 4 games against a 61-91 team, and then three against me. Seems plausible to me that I could go 0-7, he goes 5-2 and we enter our series tied up. In the time it took me to write that, I lost my first game -- it was a Maddux-started game -- so that was my best shot to get a win. He had a rest day.

I guess you can say things are kinda tight over here in Gold .324 West.

Pressure is off a little, I picked up a win so I'm 1-4 and he's 2-2. That makes it 82-75 and 78-78. If I lose the next two and he wins the next three then I go into that final three-game series against him 82-77, he'll be 81-78 and he'll need to sweep me to grab that wildcard spot without a tiebreaker game. If I pick up another win or he picks up another loss then he'll need to sweep me just to get that tiebreaker game.

OK, down to the last three games of the season. Me 83-76, and the other guy 80-79. If he sweeps me then he'll force a tiebreaker for the final wildcard spot. He's already done one, so everyone's a bit nervous down here.

After one week of wandering aimlessly in the auction house, the Frogs are back in the playoffs. This time in D353. The Frogs handily won the division by 12 games with a 94-68 record. The divisional round series is set for the Frogs to host the 88-74 Tea Totallers. Both teams are based around contact and defense. On paper, this could be anyone's series.
Eddie Stanky (one of the longest-tenured players on the team) led the conference with 6.4 WAR, although his value is more tied up in BBs/defense so the 2nd place Charlie Gehringer will probably take the MVP. Stanky also led the conference with a .411 OBP and collected his 1,000th hit as a member of the team on 8/19/2025. Tim Raines had another nice year, this time as the full-time DH. Raines played in all 162 games, led the conference with 110 RBI, and placed 2nd with 61 SB. Sort of an interesting skill set for a DH. The Frogs are just hoping their pitching finally shows up. It was a rough season for the pitching staff as a nominally good staff was mediocre and had the 9th best starter's ERA in the conference. "Big acquisition" Felix Hernandez was pretty disappointing--you'd think he could do better than a 5.08 ERA in 21 starts for his lofty 7500 PP price tag. You gotta hope he's saving it for his game 1 start in the playoffs...

All my teams made the playoffs as division winners.
I am especially surprised by Perugia because they are clearly the weakest team and I didn't know how well a smallball team would fare in perfect. They managed to survive being last in the conference in HRs and BBs but first in AVG hitting .289 as a team.

The Rebels managed to achieve the feat of having the home run champ of their Silver league, Giancarlo Stanton (42 dingers), and yet still get relegated to Bronze... and by a single game.
-.- The Raccoons kept being crummy, 81-81, except for their lone sparkling star, Walter Johnson, who won another triple crown, this time by the skin of his teeth: 19-5, 2.04 ERA, 253 K. A pile of pitchers finished with 18 wins. He was the only winning starter on the staff. Time to rename this team the Senators? Oh well, with everything else, this at least gives me almost 9k PP to blow on something stupid.
