cqk328 Joined: 07/28/2014 Posts: 289 Inactive	Anyone active in this league..? Anyway, through my first 22, I've taken a nice 4 game lead in the division. Of course it is early, and my team tends to slump in the second half, but it's a solid start for a team I thought would barely stay alive in V. How's everyone else doing?

mcrmoe Joined: 09/24/2014 Posts: 290 Inactive	As always I'm having a slow start. No idea what's going on with my usually reliable pitchers or my 2 time MVP. As for hitting, got lots of young players, so I hope my team can get better as the season progresses.

mcrmoe Joined: 09/24/2014 Posts: 290 Inactive	Congrats to cqk on clinching, pretty awesome considering this was your first season. I've got the lead for the first time all season, but Minnetonka's starting pitchers are scary. Pretty sure they've gotten the best of us in every series. A 4 game series to win the west, doesn't get any better than that!!

Garnash1970 Joined: 08/07/2014 Posts: 199 Inactive	So after interleague play, every single team in V.15 West has a RD of AT LEAST +72 AND a winning record, while every single team in the East has a NEGATIVE RD and only one team above .500. That's ownership. Titans went 42 and 18 in interleague and pushed a 6 game lead over Schaumberg into a 13 game lead over San Elijo Park!! Updated Thursday, June 2 2016 @ 10:49:54 pm PDT

cqk328 Joined: 07/28/2014 Posts: 289 Inactive	Time to bump this league thread I guess...North Port is playing pretty solid as we have the whole year. Pitching looks decent and the offense is pretty good as well. Looking to dominate with a record close to that of our 107-53 mark the last time we were in V.

Was a long grind building up young players in the bottom league, but finally paid off with a big win last season. I hope to god I dont finish in the bottom two and waste all that development. Looks like some teams are really strong in this league. How have you all been going over the past season? Happy with your teams?

Oceanside was strongest by far and unlikely to be challenged by any other team after the all star break. Well done to Gulfport for winning in the East. I dared to dream for just a second, but couldnt win that last game. Good luck next season to everyone. Lets see who gets the league awards, hopefully Oceanside doesnt take too many spots!!

tamale Joined: 02/19/2018 Posts: 358 Inactive	Your roster looks pretty solid, and I like your chances a lot more than mine. I took over the team last season, and we had a decent older core but not much else. I've tried to plug a few holes using the waiver wire but that's not easy when the best players can get 50+ claims, and I haven't been lucky this off-season so far. We do now have something vaguely resembling a farm system, but not much that will be able to help this season.

sadman Joined: 07/13/2015 Posts: 64 New Britain Hitchhikers IV.7	Well I cant believe whats happening for the Werewolves this season! At the halfway mark, we are sitting on top of the East group with a handy lead of 4 wins. So many big surprises have made this happen - 2 key additions in Sheppard (C) and Schmidt (2B). My thinking was to bring them in for 1 or 2 seasons from free agency while 2 of my AAA guys developed a bit more but they have exceeded all expectations. Both made the all star team and are currently hitting in the heart of the line-up. Lopez (SS) have stepped up in a big way at age 28 to be one of the best hitters in the league. Young gun Briones (OF) is starting to hit like the slugger he promised to be now in the top 10 on the HR list. But its the pitching that is really surprising with my very young SPs dominating. Mota, Phipps, Gutierrez all under 4 ERA. Moving Abbott to closer has also worked out well now the best closer in the league. Im so excited, my team is so young and will hopefully be even better next season. My goal was to not get relegated back to Div 6, but I think I need to change my goals now! Good luck to all for rest of the season.

tamale Joined: 02/19/2018 Posts: 358 Inactive	Before the season I thought you had one of the best teams in the league, especially offensively, so I'm not surprised at all. I think you can go on to take the title, good luck! As for us, we didn't hit too well even in L6 last season. I originally tried to build around BB and HR this season, but our power bats were awful and we're close to last in every offensive category. I accepted we'd be relegated a while ago so now I'm focusing on building for next season and beyond. The team was neglected for a while so we don't have much prime-aged talent, so it might take until guys in the low minors now are ready for us to get back.

tamale Joined: 02/19/2018 Posts: 358 Inactive	Nice to see some new faces and activity in here. Last season we avoided relegation for the first time in level V, and we needed 2 wins from 3 in the final series to do it. Based on our record (78-82 with +8 RD) and the underlying stats I think we deserved to survive but the east division is pretty competitive. Our previously nonexistent farm system is still developing, so I need to mostly use waiver claims and FAs to build the roster. We finally found a successful formula near the end of last season but with new salaries and training update 0 the process starts all over again. Good luck all!

tamale Joined: 02/19/2018 Posts: 358 Inactive	This has been a dream season for us so far so hopefully we can hang on to first until the end. It's hard to not put a lot of our run down to luck, but it's probably the first time I've had a team without any real holes. We don't have any stars (although Lee has been doing his best impersonation of one) but we've been solid across the board. I've been keeping one eye on the race in the west, and it's hard to pick a winner between Council Bluffs and Dallas. Good luck!

Alyksandur Joined: 07/19/2017 Posts: 235 Inactive	So I’m a bit out of practice on the whole preseason analysis thing, but I do still have the spreadsheet for it. I decided it was long overdue in dusting it off.  Bear in mind, this is strictly by-the-numbers and quick-n’-dirty analysis. It doesn’t look at pitcher usage, who’s played at what position, or take previous season stats into account. For entertainment purposes only, and all that.  Before I start in: » Description of a team as good or bad at a particular thing is in comparison to the league average of that particular aspect. » The average hitting in this league is phenomenal. o.O; ————————————————————  V . 1 5   W E S T  Rancho Santa Margarita Roadrunners  The Roadrunners are a generally slightly below average offensive team across the board, except for bat control. Their speed is nothing to sneeze at, though. The gloves and arms are solid enough in the field, but their range tops the West. Excellent change of speed and control are the high points of an otherwise mediocre pitching staff. Prediction: 3rd — The defense isn’t enough to make this team a contender, but it will keep them out of VI. Sioux City Catfish  The Catfish are actually a below average contact team, which is a terrifying proposition for V.15. Plate discipline and power are both somewhat above average, and their speed is close enough. They are slightly lacking defensively, compared to the rest of the division. The pitching, however, is superb, with league-leading command anchoring some of the better pitch tools in the division, if not the league. Prediction: 2nd — They’ll contend, and if they make any offensive improvements, they have a very good chance. Pasadena Owls  The Owls are also light on contact, comparatively speaking, but are also a patient and powerful team with speed on the base paths. Overall, this is the best offensive team in V.15. The offense will need to pick up a lot of slack for the pitching and sluggish defense. They may need it to overcome defensive blunders; their fielding and range are among the worst in the West. Armor up your hitters against their V.15-best fastballs, because they have the league’s worst command and movement. Prediction: 5th — Unearned runs will send this team into a tailspin. Littleton Genesiz  The Genesiz lead the league in hitting and plate discipline by a sizable margin, albeit at the expense of power. They’re also the slowest team in the West, which promises parades of singles and walks. The lack of speed translates to the most sluggish fielders in the West, but there’s nothing wrong with the gloves and their league-best arms are unwise to challenge. their velocity on the mound is poor, but they have a dizzying array of junkballs on offer with plenty of command to tie batters in knots. Prediction: 1st — Consistent offense and strong pitching will be enough to overcome slow fielders. Caldwell Foxes  The Foxes have good contact, but are otherwise significantly lacking on offensive capabilities. Even their speed is average at best. their only weakness in the field is their arms; their range is good and their fielding is by far the best V.15 has to offer. They’ll need it, as their pitching is overall the worst in the league. They have decent movement and fair control, but nothing else is even close to V.15’s average. Prediction: 6th — The defense may surprise, but not nearly often enough to overcome offensive and pitching woes. Carlsbad Ninjas  The Ninjas feature the league’s worst contact by far, but are above average everywhere else offensively. No team in the West is faster, and an aggressive running game is likely when they get on base. This translates to range in the field, though their fielding is the worst in the West — they’ll get to everything, but who knows where the ball goes from there! Their pitching is roughly average, with velocity and control being slightly above and below the league average, respectively. Prediction: 4th — Inconsistent offense and defense are issues, but steady pitching should see them in V.7 next season. ————————————————————  V . 1 5   E A S T  Cumberland Cavaliers  The Cavaliers are the lowest contact team in the East, which is a terrifying thought for East pitching and defense. They lack discipline, but have the division’s best bat control and power. Their speed is about average, but they have the best range in the East, and solid fielding and arms besides. Movement and change of speed are both the best in the division, and velocity and control are both above average. Prediction: 1st — Simply put, this is the best team in the East, full stop. Caribou Cubs  The Cubs a great contact team with unparalleled plate discipline, if only average power. They’re far and away the slowest team in V.15, however, and conservative baserunning will likely be the norm even against weak arms in the field. Their range is correspondingly poor, the worst in the East, and their arms follow suit, but their fielding leads the division comfortably. A notable oddity is that most of their pitching capabilties are a tick under the divisional average (the exception being East-best velocity), but they boast the division’s strongest overall pitching. Prediction: 5th — …Or so say the numbers, but pitiful speed, range, and arm scores skew that; personally, I expect much better. Eau Claire Kubbs  The Kubbs feature below average contact (which is still terrifying) but very patient at the plate, with above average bat control to go with it. They’re a bit short on speed, but should have enough to manufacture runs. Their fielding is average, their range less so, and arms open to be challenged. They have the best bendy stuff in the league and exceptional control, but the worst change of speed in V.15 to go along with it and average velocity at most. Prediction: 4th — Their offense should produce enough that the subpar defense can be picked up by the pitching. Apopka Rockets  The Rockets are a team with good contact and not much else, and will rely on that contact heavily by swinging at everything — they feature the league’s worst discipline. They are also well below the standard for bat control and power, but their excellent speed could play well to their approach at the plate. They have excellent gloves in the field but curiously average range. Their pitching is best described as “problematic”, with control being about average for the league and everything except their league-best stamina going downhill from there. Prediction: 3rd — …Again, so say the numbers, but take away the stamina on the mound and their pitching doesn’t look as good on paper. Boca Raton Gryphons  The Gryphons have good contact, but little else to go with it. They have the least pop in V.15, and their plate discipline is abysmal. Average speed won’t help much with baserunning, either. Their range is average for the East and arms among the best in the division, but their fielding is a train wreck. Though the lead the East in pitch command, there’s not a lot to use it with; their movement is good, but backed up with only average velocity and lackluster change of speed. Prediction: 6th — With offense and defense like that, this team never makes it off the ground. Prattville Black Cats  The Black Cats fall a bit short on contact (but see earlier comments about V.15) and lack discipline and power, but their bat control is notably above average. They are also the quickest team in V.7 by more than just a little; aggressive running and a small ball approach are likely tactics. Their range is surprisingly only just above average, but fielding is going to be a messy affair. Don’t be fooled by the poor velocity on the heaters, this is a magnificent junkball team, with the best movement in the East and excellent change of speed and command to enforce it. Prediction: 2nd — A little more offense or defense and this team is pouncing on the Pennant. ———————————————————— Playoff prediction: Littleton in seven — The unrelenting and patient Genesiz offense will win the title in “death by a thousand cuts” fashion.

NotGood88 Joined: 08/28/2020 Posts: 520 Prattville Black Cats III.4	Thank you man! Appreciate the notes about my speed and our off-speed pitchers. I can’t explain why all my players seem to be so fast and BC oriented (I’m guessing that those guys are less valued than the power hitters, and thus I can get them more often off waivers), whereas lots of CoS and movement is easy to explain: I hate to allow home runs, and those types of guys do well at keeping the ball in the park, and so a guy like McGee fits in perfectly.

As for getting swept by the Black Cats? Not even mad. All three of those would have been great games to watch, if frustrating for the blown saves.

It's disappointing to lose the playoff series, especially after starting off with two wins. We haven't won a playoff series since 2045. This is our first division win since 2055, so I definitely still feel we have things to celebrate. My condolences to the relegating teams, especially the Santa Clara Colts. The Colts have the second best run differential in the West this season, and the third best in the whole league. It's a bit shocking to see them relegate this season.
