    I'll help out!

    Maine is somewhat relevant again.

      I don't know how I feel about the playoff seeding. We'd currently match up against Hartford, who has had our number this year.

      They beat us in 11 of 13 contests in 2018.

      The only other club we have a losing record against is Pawtucket, against whom we're 6-7.

      So Hartford has really made a huge impact on our record.

          I'd like to chase down Batavia, but that's just not going to happen. They are a just a scary, scary team. Clearly the team to beat in the IL. We're in good shape to have home field for the Wildcard Round so that will have to be good enough.

            Speaking of Hartford, not a good first season for big offseason international signing Daniel Tinajero.

            Missed two months with an injury

            Abysmal defense at shortstop

            .214 batting average

            5 home runs

            31 years old

            $13 million a year through 2022

            He oddly hit .324 with a .859 OPS in day games but only .184 with a .560 OPS in the more frequent night fixtures.

              That broken finger injury has lingered.

              April: .896 OPS
              Next best month: .675 OPS

                Perhaps.

                You'd think he'd have found his groove by now, but he hasn't.

                  International players always make me nervous. Whether in the draft in the past or these kinds of free agents, I don't think I've ever had any luck with them.

                    I really think that injury screwed his entire season.

                      It doesn't help that Hartford's park is much more favorable to left-handed batters.

                          I was telling Pat today in the chat that Batavia is the one IL team that scares me right now. I think we can hang with everybody else. Other than DC, we have a .500 or better record against all the other playoff hopefuls in the IL. I still feel like we could challenge DC. Batavia just beats the heck out of us every time we play.

                          I'm really hoping we can stay hot and win the Bock so that I don't have to see Batavia in the postseason. My nightmare scenario would be to sneak into the playoffs and come away with a first round upset just to get swept by Batavia and have that shame hanging over my head all offseason. I don't see Windy City making it far enough to have to face Batavia if we secure the division.

                            Batavia is going to be the heavy favorite in the IL.
                            -1st in runs scored
                            -1st in runs allowed
                            -4th in defense
                            -#2 rotation (positional strength)
                            -#1 bullpen
                            -#5 and #10 best hitters
                            -#9, #12, #19 best pitchers
                            -Also a lot of bench depth to absorb an injury or two

                            Upsets can happen, though. Philadelphia and DC are a tier below Batavia, but very talented clubs. I also think with a few lucky dice rolls, Windy City, Seattle, Los Alamos or New York (whomever makes it) could pull off an upset. Each team has top talent in the rotation. Names like Dave Teel, Dave Boyd, Felipe Vega, Dave Dunham, Dave Harmony, Dave Glomski, Ron Osborn, would put fear into any lineup... That's a lot of Dave's!

                            I think the DL is harder to pick a favorite. Pawtucket and Dallas are likely to hang on to win the divisions and as the last two teams to win the Brewmaster's in 2017 and 2016, they should be favorites. However, Wilmington is arguably the most talented team in the DL and Maine is the hottest team in the DL.

                                Dallas and Wilmington have a league best 47-25 road record. That's pretty damn impressive.
