That really sucks for you man. Really going to hurt your chances to beat Wilmington without Hoover.

[Guest]

Buzzell and Gremades both had very impressive weeks after they stunk it up last week. Carpenter continues to dominate also.

[rubisco43]

ugh... another 4 more exams to go... i mean, my team stunk it up, but like I said, i'm excited about next year.

[Lintyfresh85]

Finally a winning sim again!

Tardif got lit in both of his starts. Welcome to the Show rook!

I don't even think we'll have enough to even get to the playoffs.

The only starter I think that hasn't been hurt this year is Arce. If I do make the playoffs, there is a chance at least that we get Onomoto back. He's was penciled in to start this year, but of course has been out all season as he got injured in Spring Training.

[Carlos]

8 games back is a lot with two weeks to go (though we all know that anything can happen).

Depending on how this week goes, next weekend's series against Sin City could be huge.

[Pat]

Well, the season is over for the Washington Bats, at 11 games back, but my record is 3rd best in all of the BLB. (Insert wildcard rant here)

Although the playoffs are out of reach, the Bats might have a great season in terms of individual awards. I haven't really looked hard at the numbers, but I think at this point 1B Joe Sierra has to be the front-runner for IL Stout Slugger, SP Joe Chavarraga for IL Pale Ale Pitcher, and 2B R.A. Grounds for IL Refreshing New Brew.

[Sully]

Gorrie over Sierra, and Campoveroe didn't go down twice, he'd be running away with it. The Pale Ale is down to Chavarraga and Franklin. Franklin's numbers are incredible, especially when you consider how pathetic Baltimore's offense is.

[Pat]

If Campoveroe stayed healthy, this would be his award hands down.

As far as Stout Slugger, here are the numbers:
Sierra: .330, .892, 178 H, 15 HR, 92 RBI, 90 R, 5 SB, 41 strikeouts
Gorrie: .323, .832, 190 H, 13 HR, 51 RBI, 117 R, 56 SB, 121 strikeouts

You could make an argument for both. I guess it just depends if you like your hitting awards to go to the cleanup or the leadoff. Both are having amazing years.

As far as Pale Ale:
Chavarraga: 15-4, 1.78 ERA, .88 WHIP, 217 IP, 242 Ks, 2 CG (shutouts)
Franklin: 15-8, 1.74 ERA, .87 WHIP, 212 IP, 215 Ks, 0 CG

Chavarraga has been just as lights out, but he strikes out more guys, has two shutouts, and a better record. Still a few starts left though.

As far as Refreshing New Brew:
Grounds: .277, .668, 124 H, 4 HR, 49 RBI, 39 R, 11 SB, (All-Star)
Carlos Bamentos: .248, .684, 138 H, 14 HR, 53 RBI, 66 R, 13 SB
Jack Cashan: 3-1, 2 saves, 2.42 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, 63.1 IP, 38 Ks
Fresco Dominguez: 4-6, 3.48 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, 103.1 IP, 61 Ks
Saul Soriano: 7-3, 3.15 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, 80 IP, 65 Ks

I'm partial to Grounds as he was an All-Star and has played some of the best 2B defense in all of the BLB, but Bamentos does have better hitting numbers as an OF. Cashan is having a great season as a RP, and if Soriano would of started earlier in the year, he would win hands down.

If the season ended today, I like Sierra, Chavarraga, and Grounds, but we will see what happens.

Oh, and congratulations to Z and Sully. Z and his Single-A Fort Myers Capitals won the Single-A Championship, while Sully and the Myrtle Beach Shorebirds won the Double-A Championship. The Triple-A Championship is underway between my Richmond Rams and Andrew's Portsmouth Atlantics. The series is currently 1-0 for the Rams. If I hold on, all the minor league champs will have come from the Stout.

[Clay]

Had Eddie Just not gone down, he would have had to be in the coversation for New Brew... he was hitting .280/.703/4.78 RC/27 ... he was really playing well on a bad team.

[Lintyfresh85]

I'll throw Charlie O'Rogan in there for New Brew...
3-3, 2.45 ERA, 1.16WHIP, 69.2IP, 45K, 90.0QS% (9/10), .213 OAVG

[Riverman]

I think Nino has to come under consideration for the IL slugger award as well. Right now I'm leaning toward Franklin for the top pitcher since he plays in one of the best hitters' parks in the BLB but I will consider everything carefully after all the stats are in. All three awards seem very close to me at this point.
