11-25 after 2 days, not the start I expected. A couple of my team clearly are starting slow but not panicking yet. I have seen a couple of teams so far that will fold. 1200IP and 4500 ABs, its a long season....

I picked the wrong $70M team.

0-6 overnight. I hate these themes....

21-15 after two days - feel like I should have more wins after reading the PBPs - but happy overall with the results.

How ‘bout a walk-off steal of home?!?!

Skye Bolt pinch-runs in the bottom of the 11th then scores on the back end of a double steal with little Looie Aparicio!

Had a bad PM session going 1-5, putting me 4 games under 500 overall

Update, now I am 24-30 So I have went 13-5 today....need a lot more of those. I have two dog teams, the Swap Out 2 team and SB teams will both lose 95+ games.

6-0 pm session. These themes are great.....

Lot of 3-3's so far. At least I'm hanging around for now.

same here

Spud Chandler has been a major disappointment thus far. I landed on him multiple times across themes; so far, he's not getting it done in any league.

Here ya go...

After 8 cycles, my teams were a combined 27-21 with one of them at 6-0 and another at 5-1. Three cycles later, my teams are a combined 29-37 while going 2-16 over the last three. That includes two rounds of 0-6 and one of 2-4. I feel like I repeat something like this in every round of every tournament...

Some solace in being 6-13 in 1-run games so far knowing that things should revert to the mean at some point. But if they don't, I won't sniff the Cage.

FuKKKKing 1986 Eric Davis is like cleaning your fingernails with a double edged razor blade. .377 OBP, 80 Swipes, 25 Hrs....ridiculous. I KNOW better than to take him because he has boned me so many times before...BUT I did it anyway..188 thus far.

My all time favorite player Nolan Ryan (1972 version) has 26 BBs in 17iP. That sucks.
1999 Nomar hitting 200 points below RL
Paul Molitor at .149. A .341RL hitter. He got 2 hits last game an DOUBLED his average. He was at .086.

Im sure most of this will correct itself but I have noticed that my high BB hitters are not getting BBs (better pitchers I guess) but it doesnt seem like my pitchers are walking any less..hahahaha. 31-41 thus far....have a couple of dog teams but thinking the other 3-4 will be okay.

My $140M team has 27 runs in 12 games... Usually, a player 350-400 OPS points worse than real life is leading the league as biggest underachiever...

How's this for the underachieving Hall of Fame

'46 Musial 1.021 OPS in real life vs .704 (a difference of .317)
'18 Ruth .965 vs .610 (.345)
'89 Bonilla .848 vs .471 (.377)
'20 Hornsby .990 vs .572 (.418)
'43 Musial .988 vs .566 (.422)
'44 Musial .990.vs .451 (.449)
'95 Bonilla .936 vs .348 (.588)

My ten players' sim batting averages are --> .091, .116, .163, .171, .200, .229, .244, .250, .255, 297
Same ten players real life batting averages -> .333, .281, .347, .299, .300, .357, .322, .370, ..365, .332

Seems reasonable.

In the Clones league, ‘34 Babe goes 4-for-4 with a 2B and 3 bombs, a walk and 5 RBIs; while ‘16 Babe gets the win on the mound!

Still scratching and clawing to stay .500 thus far.
