Wow, Freddie Taylor of Pennsy had a no hitter going against us, 2 down bottom fo the 9th and Xavier Harris pinch hits a home run. Pennsy still got the win 2-1 though.

A 7-3 sim including a 2-0 sweep of Colorado bodes well for playoff time. But for some reason we're struggling against Ontario this season as another series loss (1-2) is in the books.

Positively though we're just one win away from clinching the division and our 7th straight trip to the postseason.

I was 11-7 vs you this year and Joe Hunter had 3 Doubles off Pratt

MY TEAM STEPPED IT UP 9-1 sim dam loss to NJ ruined perfect sim so now lead WC #2 by 2 Games and #3 by 3 Games awesome September is making my fans forget 9-15 July I only gain 2 games on NJ but Leading the WC is big for me going in to last sim.

My last games this season are against Ohio, Penn, Georgia but Penn as swept me this season but im 11-4 against them the good thing is I have yet to lose to Georgia but I cant let up Got to make sure I get to Playoffs

I really can't believe the season Jesus Gutierrez is having.  I knew he was under-achieving last year when he hit .225-10-45, but I had no idea he was capable of doing what he's done this season.

Career highs in hits (185), 2B (41), 3B (6), HR (40), RBI (135), Runs (105), BB (44), HP (12), AVG (.318), OBP (.376), SLG (.616), OPS (.992), VORP (81., wOBA (.417), OPS+ (194), bWS (30.2) and tWS (35.9).  Although his 13 SB are 1 off his career high, the year he stole 14 he was caught 12 times and this year he's only been caught twice. 

He's been a starter for 6 years with a 162-game average of .257-22-79.  With this season's stats, he's upped his 162-game averages to .266-25-89.

ROIDS!

Joe Hunter, former 1b for NM? He still can hit the ball? Did he strike out 40 times straight before these 3 doubles?

[Troyaof]

I have never been so excited for a sim as I am tomorrow. I don't care if I get Buzzsaw'd by Illinois/Colorado I just want to get the chance for that to happen.

Last sim tomorrow morning?

Georgia and Iowa are tied with the worst records at 47-107

Should be interesting to see who lands the coveted top pick!

The same Joe Hunter who still leads the NJ single season HR list with 44 and with a total of 45 in NJ colours is still 8th on our our all-time HR list?

His first season was so good. He's also the leader for NJ in single season K's with 183.. lol

A few little snippets from the NJ stats desk...

1B Tim Mayfield is just 11 hits away from becoming only the 2nd Athletic to get 200 hits in a season
1B Tim Mayfield has already more doubles (49) in a season than anyone and will hopefully hit 50 before the end of the year
1B Tim Mayfield has set a new single season RBI record for NJ (126)
1B Tim Mayfield has tied the NJ single season extra base hit record that he already held (75)
1B Tim Mayfield needs 30 more bases to set a new NJ single season total bases record
CF Martik Geboyan has recorded his 6th season with more than 100 walks
C Jeff Neilsen has set a new NJ seasonal record for IBBs with 19 - why is he being IBBd?

This seems to confirm that moving Garlez to NM and putting Mayfield at 1B full time was the right decision.

Im not saying it wasn't the right move but I am glad you made the move. Garlez has been one of the most consistent players for me this year and a real nice piece when (hopefully) we make the playoffs.
Illinois seemed to have it sewed up but it's still possible for them to get bumped. They have a magic number of 3 to make the playoffs and 5 to clinch the division but it could get interesting for them.
Colorado in, NJ in unless they lose out and Ontario wins out, 3 team race for FL East, 3 team race for the FL Wildcard, 4 team scramble for the PL South and 2 PL wildcard spots....
Gonna be a helluva sim ya all!

Final regular season sim coming up! Happy July 4th everyone!

[mstreeter06]

That was an exciting sim... congrats to our 8 playoff teams!

New file is up! Reports and Statslab will be updated as soon as I can this morning.

We can begin the playoffs whenever all teams are ready to go. Starting Monday, we'll be simming daily at our normal sim time until we finish the playoffs. As always, we can go as fast as the playoff teams would like.

I'll be getting the Ammy Draft order corrected and announced so we can start that with the first 12 picks.

Don't forget to vote for the 2019 Season Awards in Statslab!
