Milestones:
Luis Jeon (a player whom I wrote off last year after a *horrible* season and is now having a monster season) scored his 1500th run, becoming the first player to reach that mark.
Next Sim:
Next Wednesday night.
Some unbelievable races this year. I put together some charts showing the division races over time. The column is games above or below .500. It's pretty interesting, IMHO.
ReplyDeleteIn the Adams Division, we have the second 13-game losing streak by a division leader, as apparently nobody wants to win that division.
In the Zotti Division, the three teams have traded off the chance to be in front and it's very hard to see who will win in the end. All three squads played very well last sim. Likely, it will come down to those last few head-to-head series.
By the way, Nigel Bryant of Houston is having an amazing season. What a beast.
