Over halfway through the season

Post by PizzaMan8 »

...and the top team in the AL right now is a bot. How are you guys feeling about this? I'm just curious.

Well my personal opinion is that if the rest of the teams in the league are not good enough to beat them, there is not much we have to complain about if you don’t like it build a better team

I think it's worth noting that the bot inherited a contending team that was built up pretty well by taxman(at least on the offensive side). Even if that team stays unowned it'll be a bit tougher than your average dynastybot for a few seasons. If not for the thin pitching staff I'd say that squad is a pretty good target for a poacher looking to scoop up an instant winner.

Then again pitching is pretty thin league-wide so it doesn't surprise me at all the bot with the stacked offense is leading the AL. At the end of the day it's players that win the games and that team has plenty of them.

Wise words from a manager who has 70 seasons and a .439 winning percentage and zero World Series appearances. The OP was not complaining and simply asking for our opinion.

Only barely, though :|

Doesn't help when your team goes 10-20 to end the regular season, barely crawling across the finish line after being up 10+ games on the 3rd spot.

Congrats to Pittsburgh on winning, too. Your team was clearly better than mine this season, but anything could've happened.
