Extensions OK

[aaronweiner]

A .500 sim gains me ground. Starting to think I'm making the playoffs...I have 11 games on the second place wild card people with 37 games to go.

[mrbornac]

Yeah, what a cluster of a sim.

[crobillard]

Grr... We need to better if we're going to make the playoffs.

[7teen]

Madison goes 6-2 and continues to inch closer to that return back to the playoffs in the reset.

Andrew Ivey ended the sim with a hit, running his hit streak to 29. I believe he is 8 games shy of the record. That's assuming the record is 37. That was the highest I found scrolling down the recordbook. Kengos adding some HR to the recordbook that sim. 20 on the season and 711 for his career. Cam Adams' Silk push took a hit that sim by not hitting a homerun. He won't win because of his WAR but he was leading the JL in HR and RBI.

[c-mitch]

2-8 sim and swept in 4 at Calgary! Awesome!

[recte44]

Big hitting streak for Guzman as well, who has been an absolute beast since the trade.

My offense completely shut down this last sim, though, and we went 4-5 but still have a big lead in the FLP.

Still waiting for Wren and Chesley to turn it around.

[bigmike13]

Shout out to Mr. Bandit, Dexter Sheehan, for his 2000th career hit. You da man

[felipe]

we really really need a good sim next time out; luckily our injured guys are starting to come back to us

Go Slugs!

[njherdfan]

Yuck. That 3-6 sim is coming close to putting the nail in our coffin.
