An 8 WAR at 38.


Jaime Cruz's 8.2 WAR 57 HR season at 38 is probably the only season that can top it at that age.

SF .927 for lefties.


I had it backwards, lefties are a tad easier to hit HRs in OCD but still low at .872 not the original .845 I posted.

On that same topic, Steel City is probably the most hitter friendly park but we've seen some career years from pitchers there so this good ole game (like scouting) is a surely a crapshoot

Who was your 1B that had a monster HR binge season but never repeated it?

STC shows as the 8th most friendly HR park at 1.037.

Hillsboro #1 at 1.191.


Sheltown is the most balanced at .999.

Alex Meyers?


Kinda speaks to your STC example with SPs where you just never know. Meyers was a lefty, lefties are at .994, so mostly even but a tad tougher than avg to hit homers.

Meyers had a 4 year run in SHL of 33/34/48//31 HRs then never reached 30 again for the rest of his 17 year career anywhere outside of Sheltown.

Looks like I was off on Steel City, maybe had them and Albany (Rhode Island) confused

Random stats of the day

Domingo Enriquez has thrown 120 or more pitches in 7 of his 8 starts
Dallas Alexander (he of ~45 stamina) has eclipsed 140 twice!
Max Leitch, also of Cookeville, the only other to cross the 140 barrier

With how bad our bullpen is, we need Enriquez to throw about 170.

San Antonio would like to have a word with you.

Dan Thomason has been unreal his last 225 or so innings... Less than 10 home runs given up and a 2.25ish ERA/FIP

Figured he’s a quiet fella that SA owner.

Someone had to recognize the greatness of that staff so far.

Pat Lewis...woof


Burgess is doing fine though. I couldn't give the guy away for 2 seasons, and he's gonna be a 4-5 WAR player most likely in SF. He's even holding his own in the field through nearly 40 games, basically about average defense at 2B.

Speaking of woof, what's the lowest single season batting average?

File is uploading... I will get to projected budgets as soon as I can, pretty sure I can tomorrow. Sorry guys, its wedding week and things are hectic

And just like that Richmond is back atop the West and looking in good shape for the 2 seed

The NL has a 67.5% chance of having the team with the best record... They also have a ~85% chance of having the one with the worst record

11 blown saves in 43 games is frustrating

Especially considering Rosado's struggles came out of the blue... The back end looked a strength coming into the season with him, Young, and Perez
