SIM COMPLETE - 1986 - Regular Season 10

I'm seriously the worst performing big-market team.

Not this season.

My lineup is so barren right now, it's crazy. We have EG, Bill Fallon's shell of his former self, and 7 other randoms.

Let the rebuild begin (again)!

Really great sim for Syracuse at 5-1. Swept Los Al and took two out of three from Windy City, with our only loss coming in extra innings.

Raul Zamora is back: Since returning from injury, Zamora has hit .342 with 7 doubles, 2 triples, 2 HRs, and a .963 OPS in 73 ABs.

Julian Orozco got the call up and pitched 6.1 shutout innings, only allowing 2 hits and 1 walk. And then he got injured... out for 2-3 months.

Maureo Gonez has hit 14 HRs on the season, 3 away from matching his '85 totals and only 5 off of his career high. Nice to have some power around in Syracuse.

After the sim we sit three back of Dallas in the Pilsner and two behind Hartford for the wildcard. Hopefully we can keep it up.

Well that sim certainly changes my outlook on the season.

1-5 sim, but a lot of close losses. Two of the losses to the Bats were by 1 run, one of them in extra innings. This team is getting there... albeit slowly.

Oh, one nice thing from this sim. Don Leonard, in his AA debut, strikes out 15 batters. I was nervous about starting him at AA too! Let's hope he keeps it up. Curt Dodson is also doing nicely and has sustained a .300+ BA for a while now.
