It seems like all I can do is hit home runs to score and the majority of my runs given up come off of long balls.

I've started to pretty much take until I get a strike. I find it so hard to lay off of certain pitches (high fast ball, change up in the dirt and sliders way off the plate). I just take now so I can at least get the other teams starters pitch count up.

Wish I could have gotten in here before you made out like a rat in that trade

Basically you got my best starting pitcher, a stud young starting short stop, and a stud young starting outfielder and all I got was Pedroia

3 starters for 1 hurt me

Eta: those were 3 of my top 5 players

I still can't find any patch notes for the update anywhere.

Weird.

I downgraded at 2B and Bullpen (big time from my pen, if you would see what I have) for an upgrade in LF and SP.

The braves were one of the only teams I could make anything work bc of my budget. It also showed as straight down the middle on the trade thing. Passed 100% I think and people usually vote.

Yeah. Played my first online game against Mac yesterday. He was host, and I could barely see the ball coming to the plate half the time. I guess I just need more practice online.

Midweek updates:

Giants- 6-4 (2 to play)

Dodgers- 3-7 (2 to go)

Pirates- 9-4 (complete)

Nationals- 6-1 (5 to go)

Braves - 9-6 (complete)

Rangers- 16-4 (completed)

A's- 24-11 (completed)

Tigers- 10-12 (completed)

Twins- 5-9 (completed)

Blue Jays 21-4 (completed)

Bend over- noticed you haven't played in a whole and have 5 left to go. You good?

UltimateHog- are you going to make it? You have some catching up to do. I don't mind giving you time. Just stay in touch.

Flyau and jknoles- still plenty of time to get the last two in.

I will be playing my 2 plus some Friday hopefully.

Yeah sorry for some reason I skipped over you. You are at 3. We are in the week we play 6-12.

You will have time to catch up as long as you let is know you intend to do so. If it's too much I can always sim you up to 12 games at the end of the week.

I'm going to get to at least 24 before I leave for Belize. That should set me on target.

Some of us seem to be struggling at around, or right below, .500 and the rest of the league is dominating.

Think I've gone 8-3 since joining. I'm ok with that if I can keep it up.

Freddie Freeman has been tearing it up. Moved Pedroia to top of the lineup and that has helped too

Yes. I expect that to be a realistic goal. Those of us who are struggling should be caught on by then.
