NLD 48 - Now Panda-licious

The Trout watch continues...

We are now 2-3 without him. Holding our own.

Now 4-4 but we also lost Segura for 15. Ouch. At least he doesn't play as much as Trout! Could have used him against Weaver who we face tomorrow, but oh well.

Smokey won't have Arcia (11 more games) so I'm not the only one with injuries.

Doug, you already made a move, what's up with that?

I have no patience for injury prone players..i went against my usual drafting habits by drafting Conforto...he was strictly DH material anyway...only 3 games since the move but so far so good..even got a win from my newest pitcher Neshak..so now I have Cishek and Neshak..Too bad Hal Woodeshick isnt in the current season set..id have a shek a shak and a shick
all pitchers even.

I can tell I should have loaded up on stating pitchers...could be a bull pen of exhausted arms by season end....

Ok, we've had one trip through the division, home/away, and interdivisional play starts tonight.

The East - only Dale has dug himself a hole, but there's plenty of time to battle out of that. Doug is tied with Semper for the best record in the league.

Central - So far Semp and JTJ have positioned themselves ahead after Big A had a tough 10 game stretch. Smokey is struggling to get traction.

West - The closest division of them all, only 3 games separate top to bottom. That's a one night difference. They continue to play each other for a couple series (I think) while the East and the central, mostly, pair off

I REALLY tried to give Joe a win in game 1 last night - but he wouldn't take it. SEVEN errors!!! I have never seen that. My stone-handed team then made an error in each of the next two games. We had made 6 errors in the first 18.

I don't know...my pitching is worse than worse, need to make a couple changes I think. Nelson Cruz has been a waste, he may be moved out of town...The season is not looking good......changes may be forth coming...

yeah, it shows the vagaries of fielding's impact on a team. So, you make 7 errors and give up 4 unearned runs, BUT my 1e2 makes an error in extras that accounts for your winning run.

Go figure.

Moves, moves and more moves....

Come on guys, we need some comments on they whys and wherefores!

Whoa! I hadn't noticed all of the moves. That's unusual for the NLD (ok, maybe not for Dale ; )).

I've been frustrated with Betances' slinging the ball all over the place, so traded out for Kelly - who is much calmer.

My guys have been living at home, so are well rested. Now begins a grind on the road. After an 0-5 start to the season, they've played .750 ball. Bet that doesn't continue.

Not much to say about my moves. I had a few guys performing poorly so I swapped them out for people I think will do the job. Salvador Perez wasn't hitting much, then was hit with a 15 gamer, so was able to swap out a RP whom I think will be better and upgrade at C with some much needed power.

Speaking of moves, it's not like the old days. A mere 5% hit gives you opportunity to improve your squad w/o sacrificing much salary. I think it makes the game (way) much better than when 20% penalties was the standard.
