2018 Regular Season SIM 13 Complete - Next SIM Monday 9/26

[Matt]

How do you even get a guy to have six days remaining on DFA on a Monday?

Zero clue...which is why I didn't notice it.

You are accomplished.

Also, I love seeing 39-year-old Steve Suarez win his first Player of the Week award since 2013.

He's now at 2,863 career hits.

[Matt]

Goodness we went 0-6. That hasn't happened in a long time. Three of them were 1 run losses though.

Speaking of Suarez, I just noticed that he recently became the BLB's all-time leader in Zone Rating, passing Rex Knight.

[Pat]

1-5 with two significant injuries.

I was due.

This Dylan Owens rookie season is really something.

.362 batting average - leads the Domestic League
.593 slugging percentage - leads the Domestic League
.992 OPS - second in the Domestic League
9.66 runs created per 27 outs - leads the Domestic League

Denver hasn't played well (though comparatively speaking to its history, June was very successful) and it seems like other teams are right there with us because somehow this team is only 3.5 back of the last wild card spot.

Nelson, Frost and Romero abused MOR and KC this SIM all of them above .400 OBP the first two above .518 OBP

Jimmy Collins added 9 hits, 2 2Bs and 2 dingers alone... this lead-off seems like a power cleaner some weeks...

Cinelli and Kaufman didn't allow a single run.

That's what we were talkig about the whole season.

Keep the games close and put the ball in play guys!! We have to keep this train rolling with another easy week facing Cali and KC. I hope we will be able to finish leading the Lager by the All-Star game... After a very rusty start. After a 8-10 April. We are sitting 39-24 in May, June and July so far...

By the way the Ale's teams are furious!! No one can separate!!!

You have a terrific team. Is just matter of time all pieces glue together my friend

I'm really impressed with Pittsburgh's rookie shortstop Johnny Skolfield.

The 22-year-old made the BLB club straight out of last year at AA, and he's batting .301 so far with eight doubles, eight homers, and eight stolen bases.

Skolfield is playing solid defense at short, too.

In any other year, Skolfield would have a great case for Refreshing New Brew.

Another winning sim?

Oh that's right, it's July.

Time to go on a monster run for the last wildcard and get bounced in the first round.

[Pat]

Got a chance to digest the sim and it was worse than initially thought.

Lost 3B Henne for 6 weeks and CF Lowe for 2 weeks. Unfortunately, the LH 3B backup plan, Jimmy Walker (AAA) also got hurt and will miss 6 weeks himself. I guess that means 3B Jamie Muntz will make his BLB debut this week.

Rooting for the former Guides draft pick.

Future is finally bright for us.

Only if you don't fuck it up!
