The home run put Meadows into 5th all time on the Maryland career home run leaderboard with 62, surpassing Ian Vaughan who now resides in the Virginia system after being selected in the 2017 Expansion Draft.   

Would you be interested in having him back? You could have a home run derby between Meadows and Vaughan.

lol no thank you, I'm good. :)

Anytime I can get a 5-4 sim I'll take it, even if West Virginia busted us open twice and Virgina shut us out twice.

We actually had a winning month of May last year, maybe it's our good luck month.

On May 17 Liam Meadows hit a top of the 13th inning grand slam to eventually win the game for us at Georgia 13-9. The home run put Meadows into 5th all time on the Maryland career home run leaderboard with 62, surpassing Ian Vaughan who now resides in the Virginia system after being selected in the 2017 Expansion Draft.   

Meadows, there's a blast from the New Jersey past.

The ONE thing that doesn't make the Newbold trade a complete and utter bust (although still a major fleecing). He's been the sort of lefty power bat I was hoping so far, and he's still just turning 23. But his durability is fragile (does that change? I swear I thought he was "normal").

Newbold has been an absolute star for me, in fact he's been arguably the best reliever in the league and I've been shocked by his durability as well.

To your question about the 'fragile tag'  - I am not sure if this changes or not. I'd hope it does, but in very few cases, as normally if you're injury prone that just doesn't go away.

In just pure record, the Patriot League is by far better than the Frontier League. Is there anywhere that shows the interleague record, league vs. league?

One-third of the way through the schedule and the FL East is completely up for grabs.  Even Iowa at 8.0 GB is still hanging in there.  Slip ups in a sim can be a major setback for making the playoffs.
