[Porter]

Homeruns: 87 (14th)
Walks: 277 (24th)
Stolen Bases: 98 (T-11th)
Runs Scored: 485 (7th)

Walks Allowed: 295 (9th)
Runs Allowed: 475 (14th)

Despite some baffling pitching numbers (not so bad I'm near the AL league average of 4.95). They are one game up in the WC at one game over .500 right now. Snelling, Torres and Flora have helped the offense but the pitching is talent wise better than this.

[Shadow29]

My offense hasnt been ranked this high in Runs Scored this late in the season for the past 8 years probably. How sad, yet refreshing. 3 Allstars is nice also.

[Kingdom]

17 game lead by the 12th of July. Not bad. I'm glad the Green Arrow is back, his defense is nice to have.

[Foster]

Batting AVG: .262 (20th)
Homeruns: 99 (6th)
Walks: 336 (6th)
Stolen Bases: 35 (T-26th)
Runs Scored: 482 (T-8th)

Pitching ERA: 4.35 (8th)
Opponents AVG: .253 (7th)
HRs Allowed: 74 (11th)
Walks Allowed: 328 (19th)
Runs Allowed: 425 (8th)

I could be better, but I'am still leading the WC, by 1.0. It ain't over, but I am sure to make a move or two to get the gap bigger.

[Kingdom]

Two months for the rest of the division to make up 23 games. Hehe.

[browntown653]

7-8 sim is nothing to write home about, but Bal'mer went 7-8 too so no ground lost.

Also...the closest division race is NINE games...yes, the closest.

MOTHER ****ER

Monday 8/7/2018: Tampa Bay's Gomez severely injured, out for season
TAMPA BAY - Tampa Bay's right-hander Axel Gomez will not pitch again this year, suffering a serious injury in the game against Seattle on Monday. After being taken to a local hospital, Gomez was examined by specialists. The diagnosis revealed the sad truth, a Torn Ligament Elbow. Axel has a record of 12-6 this season, with an ERA of 3.23. In 189.2 Innings he was able to strike out 143 batters. He's 7th in the American League in ERA and 4th in wins!

****ing shit...looks like another early playoff exit

It's about time, Bixby.

[cjkalt]

Cincy can pitch...if we could only hit

[Foster]

The ghost Wilton is gaining on me, and Wade Davis lost 2 games...

not a good sim.

[Kingdom]

Since you have 5 of my former pitchers, want s'more?

[HollywoodLeo]

Not a bad sim. Division lead raises to 11 games and I'm gaining on the Mets.

My pitching remains top notch, even despite Daniel Boyer continuing to be a big disappointment.

DDP made his major league debut this sim.

[browntown653]

Yikes, shoulda called up another SP.

Nevertheless, 8-7 sim, although right now Travis Chick is in my 4 man rotation...ouch
