So far, Carolina thinks we should reset every year we don't win the title.

[7teen]

Madison got outscored by 10 runs that sim.

Still posted a 5-4 record

Added 1.5 games to our division lead

Kengos hit 2 homeruns, giving him 704 for his career and tying him for the all-time Homeruns lead.

[mrbornac]

I am hating the reset but living with it.

[njherdfan]

I am hating the reset but living with it.

I'm also hating the reset because of how some of my players had developed, but what can you do? On a brighter note, we had a 7-2 sim, but we're still on the outside looking in for the playoffs.

[mrbornac]

Extensions OK

[JimBob2232]

I am hating the reset but living with it.

Same. Major injuries are worse than last year...including my top prospect...

[felipe]

hmmm...just lost 2 starters for significant periods (8 weeks and 11 months)...and a reliever for a week...

Bah!

[crobillard]

Finally, we've turned it on a bit. I'd like to see several more Sims like this. Hopefully, with Garcia back we can expect a boost in our offensive production. My starters have been doing well. My bullpen is average. I'll probably do a mid-season review soon, breaking everything down. Just hoping Garcia was the extent of the injury bug.

[felipe]

and you took 3 out of 4 IN louisville!

Bastards

[aaronweiner]

Plus we have just your average six-team wild card race in the Johnson.

[7teen]

Plus we have just your average six-team wild card race in the Johnson.

Because 2 of the 3 division races are pretty much set. Too much time left to say Madison and Valencia have their divisions won, but odds are definitely in their favor at this point.

[felipe]

If it was by pythag, then the Atlantic would be the runaway div...

[crobillard]

If it was by pythag, then the Atlantic would be the runaway div...

and if the standings were determined by the best looking owners, I would be the runaway division winner in the Atlantic.
