All I have time to say right now is this:
- The Kangaroos stumbled and fell behind the Outs!
- Kaline and Pittsburg continue their dogfight for the pivot position in the standings. The Drive have the upper hand this morning — barely.
- The W’s continue to pester the Rosebuds, despite a poor day at the plate.
- There’s a Mike Trout v. Bryce Harper battle brewing in the bowels of the league.
- We are as a league 62 games over .500, with the season approaching the 2/3 mark. We have been steadily but slowly improving our winning percentage. If we get to 89 games over .500 as a league we will have an expansion draft next spring even if we don’t add a team, applying one of our new MLB/EFL Competitive Balance rules.
- I have shifted all my Wolverine trade marketing to email. Well, all of it except this blurb.
- We are awaiting everyone’s responses as to their availability at 5 pm Monday evening to decide whether that or 8 AM Saturday will be the time for our next managers meeting/draft.
- I will be posting your team’s new defensive stats later today. Dave will have to remind me if there’s a way to update all the defensive stats on the database before the end of the month.
