There is currently a 10-game swing in the Pythagorean records of Maui and New York. Paul, I don't suppose you'd be willing to share some of that mojo?
ReplyDeleteHoly cow, I've got the second best record??? This is so totally beyond what I expected for the year. Getting a lot of career performances from fringy veterans (King, Salazar, Haase, Birdsell) to go with young stars McCormick, Reynolds and Drew.
ReplyDeleteWill be interesting to see if I can keep this up.
Also like to point out that I'm doing this with the lowest Budget and Media Revenue in the league.
Paul: You finally overtook me as the team with the second best record. I think my overachieving Lenape flew a little too close to the sun, a little too soon. I still think I can beat Seattle in a seven-game series, but I have to make it to there. I'm not sure how long I can hold onto the Wild Card spot with my fingernails.
ReplyDeleteHmm, looking closer at the box scores, I might have some signs for optimism. After losing 12 of 13, my team has won 6 of our last 8 games.
ReplyDeleteI'd vote the pitcher's duel between Maui and Shackamaxon on August 6th as the game of the sim. Villatoro vs Macaluso, and they didn't disappoint. Turns out that was the last loss of the 12-of-13 stretch, and Elder Guzman was my stopper the next day.
