Check your DFA, folks!

Happy Boxing Day!

I haven't done a statistical study to confirm but I feel like my team does significantly better in sims that Brad runs.

Thatīs what we are talking about! 6-0 SIM to put some ground for the #1 Seed through out the play-offs. Can we save some Wins for then please?

The Bankston experiment was great, to get the feet of this young power hitter wet, but Frost is ready to go again, and we need all the bats hot to get the Top Seed in the Conference, then we will see...

2-1 @ New York, 1-2 @ Batavia - The 3-3 week puts us 5 games back in the Bock but only two games back in the Wild Card. Taking two from the Knights was big, as was not getting swept by the Muckdogs. After a day of rest, the Pilots will host the Knights to open up this week, probably deciding who plays for the month of September in the process.

In minor league news, our Double-A affiliate won the Championship on the back of 2018 1st round pick SP C.J. McVicker. In his two playoff games he pitched 15.1 innings giving up one ER, no walks and 12 Ks. Our Triple-A affiliate lost in the Championship game to Maine's Portsmouth Atlantics after multiple re-sims this morning.

Happy Holidays.

5-1 to get back in the wild card race. Need to win the series against Los Angeles next sim.

Not totally sure I'm following things correctly but it looks like the Moose Jaw Moose had two huge comebacks to reach the A final for the first title at any level in a long, long time.

SP Tom Driggs is now #19 on the Top Players List. Did you know he went undrafted and was cut?

He plays for California, right?

Pawtucket 2-4 again.

Think we maybe out of gas.

[Sharkn20]

Willie Salazar is the #11 of the Hitters list, nothing bad for a #4 Overall Pick. He is definitely killing the ball at DH this year, chose for his first all-Star in 2019...

Orbon, former Pittsburgh prospect is now the #9 Overall Pitcher in the BLB. Nothing bad either the return for tat Blockbuster trade which sent Ian "Mongo" Brooks to the Millers back in 2012.

I'll confess to feeling worried briefly after cutting Antonio Banuelos loose.

Was I making a rash decision?

Was he still a really good player?

That he's hitting even worse in Pawtucket, where he's batting only .245 witha .751 OPS, eases those doubts.

Actually, if we're referring to BLB analytics based off of commissioner related functions...... more like #shavermetrics.

3-3. Lost a series in Death Valley before winning one in Los Alamos.

Bullpen was a bit leaky this sim, that's a concern. Possibly cost me 2 games. With the AAA season over now, I'll probably call up Koehler, Thompson and Kurtz with expanded rosters coming September 1st. Hopefully that can give us the depth we need.

Fortunately, neither Batavia or Philadephia did too well, so our lead is 3 in the division. Still a long way to go.

Thanks for fixing the Playoff Odds, Z. Bats have a 100% chance of making the playoffs.
