We were on pace for 300 for a while but faded late

I won 82 games with this team in an all Mile High league with a $120M cap. It's one of the best defensive teams I've ever had with only 68 errors, 218 + plays and only 23 - plays. And, this team allowed only 23 SB in 44 SB attempts.

I wish you would have continue playing it out. I find it very hard to believe you would have sniffed 500 + plays and Cameron would have hit 150.

I'm happy to do it again... but given where we were at game 90, I think 500 was a certainty, and 150, would've been a slight stretch, but definitely reachable.

Finally getting around to this... team is in league MLB133441 for those that want to track it. I'll post an update around game 90 or so, and again after the season is over.

Two side notes of interest to me: Cameron had 99 + plays through 148 games, and then proceeded to have 0 over the final 14 games of the season, and never reached 100, despite looking like a lock for 100+ all season.

At game 160 we had 496 + plays as a team and looked to be a lock for 500 as we'd averaged over 3 per game on the season, and sure enough, we had 3 + plays in game 161, then followed that up with a goose egg in game 162 to fall 1 short of 500.

If you want to break the record for + plays on defense, you need to have a really bad pitching staff. This league, every team has only six $200K pitchers, with a $255M salary cap. Here is the team defense...
