Thanks for the vote of confidence. ^.^  Lahaina is a bit better on batting average and OBP, but I’m a little better on slugging and a lot better on anything even vaguely small ball related and hit into the fewest double plays in the league. Run production was more or less even, though, and that’s sort of the more important stat there, if you ask me.  The Gryphons had the stingiest pitching in the league, but the Mules are right up there close behind us. We’ve got a slightly more homer-happy than they are, but we also hit more than they do, so that’s probably a wash.  The most telling stat is probably that we gave up around twice as many unearned runs, so they definitely have us beat on defense, but even taking that into consideration we gave up fewer runs overall.  Going to the season series between us wasn’t helpful either, we split it 5-5.  See ya on the field, Frankebasta. This promises to be a fun one. ^.^

In my experience, these imbalances almost always favor the East. This year the East has no teams with a winning record at the break. Impressive output by the West and just slightly frustrating on my end. And yet, the East won the all star game 😆 I'm hoping the Bloody Tigers gel and settle down for the second half. There's been some really nice performances but not quite the depth of production from last season and I've moved alot of pieces around. I'm wondering if the biggest issue isn't just trying to break in a new 25 year old second round draft pick this year, 15 pot from Japan, at catcher no less. I think I have to find a spot for him and if he was acquired younger, catcher or 3b make the most sense. However, all my other young hotshots with big potential are best suited for 2b, ss, 3b or can be double trained as inf/of. And I've got at least one 3b ready to go. So catcher it is. This is the first time I've tried shoe horning a player into an untrained position in a long time. We'd like to promote this season. In my opinion you have to promote every chance you get because there is often one team better any given season. But if we're going to promote and stay there, having this young guy at catcher seems almost like a must to me. What a balancing act. Good luck to all of III.4 the rest of the way and congratulations to everyone on their accomplishments so far.

I have a number of young rookies this season, but I wouldn’t say my team was much worse than last season where we finished pretty well. I think the west teams are just unusually strong. What makes me scratch my head is how players do so well one season, and then without any change in skill level do so badly the next. Some of my all star players from last season are stinking it up badly this season. Frustrating!

sadman Joined: 07/13/2015 Posts: 63 New Britain Hitchhikers IV.7	Hi all. Not a bad start to the season so far for the newly named and relocated Smokin Hot Chili’s. Looks like both east and west are more evenly matched than last season. My team usually does well then runs out of steam late on so fingers crossed the young boys at the top of the order can keep outperforming thier stats. I’m glad my starter, Crespo, has finally started pitching well after an excruciating development season where he went 1-10. Good luck all!

I didn't add this season any vets to pitchers after some time and it was definitely pain to watch. In the end we survived and I hope most of my pitchers are developed enough to be usable next season. Best of luck to all but you... or best of luck to me because Florence will need all of luck in the work once again.

My team won, but besides not giving up a lot of home runs (part of it is my ballpark), we didn't excel at much (except maybe winning close games). But anyway, I am very happy to win in my first-ever L III season and also happy that I was able to give my developing players a lot of play time. Good luck next season, everyone!
