Re: MLB 15 Franchise Progress Thread

<table><td bgcolor=#000F30>All Star Break - 2017</td></table>
We actually weren't that bad the last 36 games. 23-13 since the beginning of June. 2nd place in the Central. 5.5 games behind Pittsburgh. And we currently lead the Wild Card. From June 4th to the 22nd we went 14-3. St Louis did the exact same including 11 straight wins from the 9th to the 20th. STL has since fallen off and is now in 3rd place. They are 1-8 in July.
Player keep stepping up on offense when we need them to. After Sardinas hit .58 in May. Adam Lind pretty much did the same. He ended may with a .270 AVG. He is now at .304. Since June 1st he has hit .357 with 4 HR and 18 RBI. Since June 9th that Jumps to a .381 AVG with a .456 OBP. Ryan Braun was a lot better as well. He ended May hitting .216. He is at .246 now. In June and July he has .286 with 7 HR and 24 RBI with a .363 OBP. Sardinas is still playing great. Hitting .319 with 4 HR. (he had 2 in his career entering the season). Braun is the only current starter hitting under .263. We have the highest team AVG in the majors (.268). 2nd in OBP (.330), 2nd in doubles, 3rd in triples, still only 26th in HR but we have the 6th most runs so we are scoring fine.
Starting rotation is still about the same. Brent Suter has been great. In 12 games he is 7-3 with a 2.59 ERA with 87 IP. Josh Johnson has a 2.96 ERA. But he is 1-4 since he gets no run support. Garza has a 3.19 ERA and Estrada/Fiers both have a 3.15 ERA. We sent Peralta to AAA. Not doing good there either.3-2 with a 4.67 ERA. Might be time for him to start over with a new team.
Bullpen was good. Now it kinda good. But not good enough. Brandon Kintzler has been the best reliever since he came up. 16 IP he has a 2.25 ERA. A 9 to 12 K to BB ration though. Jim Henderson is at 2.95, Fernando Salas at 3.25. Neal Cotts came back up on the 23rd of June. Hasnt been any better than he was thogh. Now has a 7.84 ERA. Sending him back down and calling up Jed Bradley. He has his ERA down to 2.55 with a 46/9 K/BB ratio. Hopefully he can reproduce what he did last year when he had a 1.53 ERA the 2nd half of the season. K-Rod has his ERA up to 3.21. Added another 12 saves, he is now at 29. On pace for 52.
AAA, Austin Beyer is hot again. Now hitting .302 with 12 HR and 54 RBI. Jackie Anthony has a 2.36 ERA. Wei Chung Wang has a 2.61 ERA.
AA, Victor Roache must have heard what i said about him not only being a ****ty AVG hitter but that he also was a ****ty power hitter now as well. He ended may hitting .213 with 3 HR. First game in June he goes 3-4 with 3 HR and 8 RBI. In His 29 games in June/July he has hit .308 with 9 HR, 26 RBI and an OBP of .356. I like it. Not alot going on with pitching in AA. Wirfin Obisp has given up 2 ER in 35 IP out of the pen.

All Star game was a pretty good. AL scored 1 in the top of the first. NL scored 1 in the 2nd. Then they scored 4 in the 4th thanks to a 3 run HR by Yasiel Puig to go up 5-1. But AL came right back in the top of the 5th. Brain Dozier took over for Cano and hit a lead off HR. And then a few batters later JD Martinez replacing Hanley Ramirez hit a 3 run HR of his own to tie the game. Was quite from there as the last couple starters and relievers shut things down until the 9th. Paul Goldschmidt coming in to replace Freddie Freeman hit a walk off HR on the first pitch he saw and the National League wins the all star game 6-5. First win for the NL since 2012.
curious -- how did you/do you make your tables with the stats/standings?
