My 1890 Scott Stratton is hitting .223/.274/.256 and has sucked offensively all season.

My 1886 Bob Caruthers is hitting.300/.412/.426 after a horrific start. The other '86 Caruthers in my league is hitting .386/.474/.596... so there's that.

My team is ranked 5th in the league in runs scored and 5th in fewest runs allowed. I expected a better ranking in defense, but 91 + plays is only good for 12th in the league, and we're 5th from the bottom in fielding%.

Generally speaking, ranking in the top 5 in both runs scored and runs allowed should be an automatic playoff team. The team is 80-60 but resides in the toughest division in the entire tournament (all leagues).

My Greinke was 16-4 in the $100M league and we'd won 24 of his 29 starts. Since then, he's 0-5 and we've lost his last 6 starts.

Just more bad luck, I guess
16-10 now for Greinke. Absurd.

I can't see the expanded standings on all the leagues, but are there any other teams with an Exp Win% > .600 that aren't going to make the playoffs or do I have the only two?
8/19/2025 8:59 AM
Looks like you I won’t be getting that third playoff team. Going to need to win at least one WS.
