You’re a couple games out of second place…Fox Hollow Lake looks like a really strong team, so he may be tough to overtake this season. In the cup, you’re above .500. McCoy looks like he’s adjusted well to the LHP role. Gotou was mediocre in the closer role, so we’re trying a few other guys. Looks good. I like the pickups of Roman and Baca -- if they’re not too old, they could give you some good innings from the bullpen. I think you’re doing the right things. Steve

Then i get blown up , firstly i think i had my guys pitch count far too high for their age , lets see how the next few weeks go for me , thanks

For guys in the bullpen, I'd recommend 75 down to 30 pitches (with pitchers towards the end of the game having a smaller pitch count value). For LH specialists, I'd recommend a very low pitch count (maybe zero so they only face one LH batter). Steve
