Another good sim, but still got a long way to go. Statslab says I have the hardest remaining schedule in the PL with a .524 opponent's winning percentage. Ohio = .500 and NJ = .475. It will be hard to get in.

Don't be so sure, we've just had yet another post all-star slump, happened in July last year, August this year... hopefully September proves to be a bit brighter.

Patriot League Standings for August - at this rate Mass and NC have a good chance of catching Ohio or NJ if we don't pick our games up.

Bottom falling out on the season for Cali after the all-star break with a 7-21 month of August. Makes me regret dragging my feet at the trading deadline. Might have to get very active right after the season and prior to the draft. My problem was that I was caught between going for prospects/picks or trying to bring in a bat or two to to try to make a legitimate run. In the end I did neither and the team's just petering out.

Stuck in no-man's land is not a fun place to be Steve.

Right the CPU will substitute a player that is injured/out but it won't change your set lineup whenever that player is available.

thanks mate!

File/reports are updated through September 10th. Statslab will be updated in the next 5 minutes or so.

Colorado's 1B P.J Foley (49 HR) has passed the HR record from last year. He and CF Pham (46 HR) could both be 50+ HR teammates. Nuts!

One step forward and two steps back - 4-5 sim for NJ, won the first 4, and then got swept by Kentucky plus two more losses to WV.

And it gets worse, 2 from my rotation down for a few weeks.

And lost 2/5 of your rotation. Tough sim

Statslab is updated! We're on the home stretch on the regular season!

Yep, at least Boyer will be back for the playoffs, if we make it, and veteran Bob Thompson is back after his long term injury. Still , might have to be a 4 man rotation for the rest of the season.

6-3 but lost 1/2 game on the wild card spot...

Time is starting to run out!  We need to put together an 8-2 or 9-1 sim... or I guess I'd settle for 10-0, lol.

White seems to have "recovered" from his MS nicely.
