Can Anyone Explain
Why my team is winning ?
We have reached the halfway point of the year and we are still in contention which will end soon enough as we are winning at a rate that is 63 points above our pythagorean expectation but even if we finish the year where our current numbers indicate we should be (.505) that would be mean 82 wins which would be an improvement of 25 games over 2124. Last season we under performed but still this is crazy.
We did add an A overall SP, Ukawa with 1st overall pick and made some smaller pitching upgrades with Wallace and Busch but overall our pitching still pretty poor, 11th overall. The big difference is at the plate where we are currently on pace to score 780 runs after scoring less than 600 last year and not having topped 700 since 2017. Some of this is players returning to their norm, some is increased platooning but whatever I'll take it.
There is a reasonable chance we will pass last year's win total before the end of July.

BOS has paid off ABE to get you to buy stuff.

Re: Can Anyone Explain
I have purposely NOT sent LA any offers believing what his post said / confirmed...but he does know how to reach me! Then again, since I've traded two of my best assets I've gone on a tear - go figure!
Re: Can Anyone Explain
You are clearly still the second best team in the AL. Cassady didn’t move the needle that much.

...and I sold off Ollom. The only reason I sold assets was I was barely over .500 at the 1/4 turn and thought the downturn was underway. I guess I misread the tea leaves. But I also knew I still had a decent team in the AL and am gonna ride this out with what I've got.

well that's that then
well that ended quickly after my message board post.
After giving up only 5 earned over his last 5 starts, 40 1/3 innings, while going 4-0: Mana Ukawa is injured and is expected to be out 38 days.
