Still trying to figure out why you're still getting the majority of A_Bs.

I've been saying that for three years, man.

ETA: Although two all star games ain't bad

I thought sharing with another guy wouldn't bother Giff that much.

SINGLE (Line Drive, 6D, EV 105.6 MPH)

My "training" "regimen" seems to be "working."

You see, now that's he's called me out and given this sentiment, I'm hurt.

I have some crazy split stats this season. My favorite is that is six road starts on grass, I am 6-0 with a 1.41 ERA.

Feeling like Steve Avery to Brian and Sabo's Glavine and Maddux.

Booo!

Looks like the game does the same thing as in real life, where every team gets at least one All-Star, so you see some so-so guys from bad teams instead of people who were maybe more deserving. Surprised in particular that Moreta didn't make it for Holland.

HR Derby screws up your swing, media obligations, can't get to the ESPYs as early, knowing you won't get MVP because you will get taken out but SS gets to play a full game...you would be thrilled to.

I'm pretty sure there's some anti-Bonaire bias, because I'm tearing shit up since the trade!

The Dundalk uniforms are amazing. Looks like they got some clearance Nautica shirts while a department store was going out of business.

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Fri Jul 19, 2019 10:49 am

Also....wlu has 14 years of service and is 30 years old? Modern day Joe Nuxhall.

EDIT: Apparently: https://statsplus.net/swampbaseballleag ... _7012.html

I scaled down everyone's ages so no one would be "too old" by real-life baseball standards. Probably needed to edit the service times to match.

WEEK 17 UPDATE

Burlington Sports Frogs

Gunpowder is probably aided in his chase of the RBI record by his complete refusal to walk. Brandon Phillips would be a huge fan.

Roy Campanella too.

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Fri Jul 26, 2019 8:48 am

Not cool, he couldn't swing the bat much because he was paralyzed.

By the way, our starting middle infield is killing it with 33 combined homers.

This excuse making is what's wrong with today's society.

Anyway GPJ will probably go the way of Juan Gonzalez with 100 RBI at the AS break and then finishing with like 117.

Or aided by the player batting 2 spots ahead of him sitting 3rd in OBP in the league and 4th in On-Base + Slugging

Anyone else get a small satisfaction from checking the stats each week and seeing that you're still having a better season than the player who blocked your position in Burlington and forced your move to Holland? No?

Not a good stretch for some of the Swamp teams' pitching:

Also, may be some controversy brewing from this past week:

Although I am having a good season, I was the one holding Gunpowder back. Beneficial to both teams.
