Who will be the first to complain about a stud RP blowing a 5-run 9th-inning lead? (Quietly raising my hand)

Always enjoy competing with jfranco; it will now go to the next level as we are in the same division in 5 of the 6 leagues (all but 160M)!

After seeing the random realignment, I thought that I had a pretty tough draw. So, I decided to quantify it. Ignoring the 255M league, since that wasn't randomly aligned, I assigned the round 1 point total for each person in each division. I added up the three point totals of each person's division mates, then added them up, and divided by total teams, to get an average strength of divisional opponent. Results are below.

First, here is the round 1 final point total.

Owner	.	Points
justinlee_24		635
06gsp		606
discodemo		604
schwarze		597
barracuda3		581
emanes10		579
jbohrman		576
_JJP_		571
toysboys		569
tigerrott		566
ronthegenius		565
d_rock97		559
mjkrunner		559
MJDSupporter		555
jfranco77		553
redcped		553
duhbigcat		551
mildnhazy		546
beauchamp		541
dvorr80		533
doctorcc		532
buddhagamer		531
gworear		526
RebJebb		526

And here is the average divisional opponent point total for each owner. My hunch was right. Of course, being stuck in three divisions with justinlee_24 doesn't help.

probably doesn't matter much - you only play 2 more games against your division mates and everyone making round 2 is going to be more than competent. It's always a slog and anything over .500 is a good showing.

Right - it's not the extra games you play, it's the tougher it may be to win your division or even make a wildcard. I doubt that any of my teams will get lucky and win a weak division with a record like 87-75. Will probably need 92 wins at least to win any of my six divisions.

But your point still holds. Everybody left in round 2 is good at this.

Will be a good test for the 24 seed! Let’s play ball!

A 3-3 start. Yup, I'll take that pretty much every time. And now cue the mauch in the next cycle ...

3-3 here too. 23 runs scored, 22 runs allowed. Trench warfare.

For some reason I left $1M on the table on my $160M team. I have no idea how TF that happened.

Probably won't have the initial Standings file ready until Sunday or Monday.

2-4 for me this morning, but really 2-3 as I punted one game with mop-up guys (a strategy I sometimes employ when I have an odd starting pitching build)

5-1 including a 15-0 win and a 20-3 win.

My teams struggled on offense in R1 and I consciously tried to draft better hitters. Looks like it worked for at least one game

Another 3-3. No complaints.

Tommy John goes 3-3 in my $60M game. Wins POTG.
