We just can't get it done at the moment, 5-5, and a 2-1 series loss to Ontario that lets them jump ahead of us in the standings, ouch!

It looks like either our rotation is pitching terribly or the opposition has worked out how to hit us, seeing Sepulveda with an ERA north of 4.00 is a major concern. Add to this a group of hitters (except Josh Talley) who have started cold and we're struggling at the moment.

In other news, Maddox Hynes failed in his bid to reach 50 straight saves, falling agonizingly short at 48 after getting pounded by Illinois int he 9th inning, we did go on to win this game though.

On the inter-league front we went 4-3 on the sim.. small consolation I guess.

If we don't fix up where we're going I am seriously considering trading away either or both of Ignacio Garlez and Jeff Fowler - both great left handed hitters (would work excellently at Indiana or Illinois :)).
'


does this league seem to have more players with extreme platoon splits than most? both the guys you listed qualify there....and i have a number of them!

I don't know if it's more than any other league, but some of the better overall players are afflicted by this condition that's for sure.
I seem to notice here more than other places...

Nice, yet annoying, quirk of this league then :)

Hmm I haven't made any adjustments to the default settings. Maybe it's a OOTP14 quirk?

Pure randomness, and something that can't be controlled.. it's not an issue at all, just a quirk :)

Now who wants Garlez or Fowler? ;)

Winning sim, hooray! In fact a perfect sim ruined by Maryland winning the last 2 games.

A few lineup tweaks platooning Fowler and Garlez seemed to have the desired effect.

Crawdad Hicks drove in his first 3 runs of the season... after having 0 in his first 37 games.

We seem to be on a roll in NC.  We lost 2 of 3 to WV, but EVERYONE is losing games to WV.

We have finished May and there were some serious injuries this sim unfortunately. New file is up, reports are extracting, and Statslab will be updated soon.

You're telling me, Sepulveda out for the season (9-10 months) will likely stop him from becoming the first pitcher to 100 wins, not to mention breaking his All Star appearance streak.

At least we're back leading the division, but our other pitchers will really have to stand up now.
