We can move to an expedited SIM schedule to finish off the regular season if people are able and willing. I'll SIM whenever everyone has exported...or if you don't want/need to export just let us know as well. If you aren't able to export and want to send me instructions for rosters via PM/DM that is also fine.

Thanks.

Toronto is in!

A third straight 5-1 week for the Bats, only spoiled by a loss in the opener to Baltimore. We're 14-2 so far in September. It gets harder from here though, with our final series all against teams fighting for the wildcard spots (CAR, @ CHI, @ BAT), so we're not likely to keep playing quite like this, though with only a 28-man roster resting all my guys isn't in the cards.

Mixed bag at the plate, with Nunes having his best week in about a month but we got awful weeks from Zuniga and Franklin. Nunes needs 3 more RBI to match the Bats' record of 131 set by Miguel Angel Padilla in 1990, the same season in which he hit 40 homers, which was our record until last sim. This is comfortably the best hitting team in franchise history, so it makes sense to see so many team records being challenged.

Big scare of the week is Ian Ammons picking up a DTD injury. Thankfully it's only 3 days and he'll be fine by his next scheduled start. He hasn't been good at all this month, but we can't afford to lose a key part of the rotation. In positive news, Alan Allen has been really good in September and our bullpen had a really nice week.

Thanks Matt! Seattle is in!

Ugh. I didn't have high hopes for the week but going 2-5 still stings. The Bulls came to town and won all three games then we were able to win only two of four against the Champs. The 3.5 game lead feels small in the Bock. I think it will come down to game #162, just like last year for California and Seattle. The Pilots are now 3-7 in their last 10 and have a .556 winning% in September, their worst of the season.

Even if we win the division, I don't like our chances in the IL playoffs. Even outside of Washington, there are a lot of teams playing really good ball right now. We are stumbling to the finish line.

All three Seattle affiliates won in the minors to move on.

I can export tonight to help move this along.

Go without mine, not exporting for superstitious reasons

4-3 sim, where we let one get away against Philly. This Ramos show is starting to get very concerning, as he continues to be highly average.
