lol@ the Dodgers being 1 game better than the Rays.

[The Argonaut]

I'm not proud of this.

I'm not proud of this.

Nor should you be. This is pretty shameful.

[The Argonaut]

switching out my first baseman to give a guy with only 2 at-bats so far a shot:

1 Jackie Robinson 2B
2 Pete Reiser RF
3 Duke Snider CF
4 Adrian Beltre 3B
5 Jim Wynn LF
6 Mike Piazza C
7 Wes Parker 1B
8 Pee Wee Reese SS

The only other play with minimal playing time is Jim Gilliam, a 2b with just one at-bat. He has been unimpressive for me in at least one tourney before, and my main 2b Jackie Robinson is my only consistently good hitter so I don't see Gilliam getting in there until I drop out of contention and give up (or secure a play-off spot LOL).

You could run some sims with guys out of position if anyone is killing you to increase your offense.

The Dodgers might be the most shocking thing to happen in whatif so far.

What am i doing wrong?

Im honestly not sure. You seem to put thought into your roster and lineups. It's inexplicable. Like Randy Winn with an OPS approaching 1.100

Winn is the exact opposite of the Dodgers. Is there a player this year that makes less sense than him?

He had 3 triples in one game!

[philpritchard]

That's insane... that's why I regret not looking through ALL the boxscores every day.

I wasnt going to bother cluttering my twitter feed, but oh well

That's a tight race in the American League.

[Lament]

Apparently we're recreating 1967 up in this bitch. Which bodes well for you and numbers, but not so much for me...

[Lament]

I keep expecting the Dodgers, Braves, or Expos/Nationals to reel off a winning streak and put some heat on the top four in the NL, but it's just not happening so far.
