LCS Era Baseball Tournament: AUBREY PLAZAS ARE CHAMPS!

[Lament]

It's still .300+ ahead of my team leader.

[Norah]

Easy schedule for the Chudville Nine tomorrow.

[Lament]

I heard Skitch is gonna sneak Alex Avila into the game in Carlton Fisk's jersey.

[The Argonaut]

Belle is the only man with an .OPS over 1, but I'm pleasantly surprised with Ozzie Smith's slash line and 7 doubles. I love Valenzuela's 2.32 ERA and his 4 wins, as well as Rollie Fingers's 1.08 ERA with 5 saves. Tim Raines also has a respectable slash line to go with his 6 SBs. I feel like Schmidt's and Carew's >.380 BABIPs are going to translate into more production in the coming days. I can only hope.

great research argo

[The Argonaut]

and I'm using two different line-ups for tomorrow. Game 1, vs the lefty, is the regular team "LCS Argonauts"

1 Tim Raines CF
2 Ozzie Smith SS
3 Albert Belle LF
4 Mike Schmidt 3B
5 Frank Howard RF
6 Rod Carew 1B
7 Ivan Rodriguez C
8 Steve Sax 2B

and for Game 2, run it with the "Yankees" team. It should be set to go. I changed the roster and the line-up (I couldn't figure out how to change the team name, lol) to look like this:

1 Tim Raines CF
2 Ozzie Smith SS
3 Albert Belle RF
4 Mike Schmidt 3B
5 Rod Carew 1B
6 Ivan Rodriguez C
7 Tony Oliva LF
8 Steve Sax 2B

Some of my draft strategies are looking pretty horrible right now.

I'm really disappointed I didn't sweep you.

[@SkitchP]

Minor tweaks made to lineup again.

reset rotation as
Gooden
Caldwell
Niekro
Higuera

Noted.

[Lament]

My guys have dropped eight of eleven. The implosion is in full-effect.

[philpritchard]

My biggest regret right now is only drafting five starters. Of the four who opened the season in the rotation, Sam McDowell now leads with a 6.37 ERA. Meanwhile, Charles Nagy has allowed 1 run in 17 innings over his two starts. I would love to have someone else to take a flyer on with a couple spot starts right now, but my only real option is to ride things out and hope it turns around.

[@SkitchP]

The lineup tweaks actually seemed to have helped the offense a bit, particularly getting dale murphy in. But man my rotation outside of gooden has been terrible.

Send me your stats, damnit.
