OEL: September 6 Sim completed!

Another sim has come and gone and we’re closer than ever to the playoffs!

In the Platonic League Seattle continues to dominate now having a magic number of only 9! The wildcard chase continues to broaden with a 4.5 game gap between leader Pittsburgh and pursuer Maryland. It’s becoming a long shot, Will! Work some mojo, son!

The Socratic League is more interesting. Brooklyn’s lead is four games over Helena who are up on Jersey City in the Wildcard by 2.5. With about 20 games to go this one is still tight and could go any way.

Helena and Maryland meet for two games next sim that will place two teams that need to win against each other! Go team!

In terms of sweet performances this sim Stockholm’s Earl Moya climbed to the bottom of the pitching boards in a game against Marietta. He threw eight innings of 2 hit ball while walking two and striking out 5.

There were two top flight offensive games this sim. In the first one Maryland’s Franky Gingras turned in a 3-4, 7RBI game against Jersey City. The second one came in at the bottom of the heap, in the 25th best batting performance of the year Helena’s Daniel Malinowski went 3 for 6 with 2 home runs and five RBIs against Sylva.

Injury news features a few day-to-day injuries and Maryland’s holocaust in the hole. Maryland lost both of their shortstops this sim on the same DAY! Starting shortstop Melvin Barrett fractured his hand and will be missing the next five weeks. Maryland also lost backup shortstop Fred Bowman to a bad ligament for the next 1 to 2 weeks.

Enjoy the road to the playoffs, gentlemen! Next sim is Friday by Mack!

Sigh,

Depression is our nectar. Pain is a reason to go on. We are on course for our goal to be one game short.

I don't know if anyone noticed but the PL beat up on the SL this past sim. Opposite of most of the year.
