Boxscore madness...

Somebody explain this one to me:

C Joe Pierson, in Calgary's 10-2 win over Iowa was 0-5 with no walks and 1 strikeout, and managed to steal 3 bases and score a run. I'm sure he could have struck out and made it to first, or hit into a fielder's choice or whatever, but he had some bug up his ass to get 3 steals in 1 game. His previous high for a year was 7 in 162 games for Montreal a while back.

Weird.

The Weddel watch has slowed to a snail's homerun pace, being only at 10 HR in 16 games. So he's only going to hit 100 this year, not 162 anymore.

Did he just say that?

Koree Titze, 4 years, $3 million, Iowa: Titze probably won’t be a .840 OPS, Lori Cooper-sized Titze, like he was in 2016-7. (Had to get in at least one new baby joke.) But he should be better than his horrid season last year, especially in Iowa.

2019 Begins!

Welcome back to 2019!

So the blog went away pretty early in 2018. I'm a poor blogger to begin with, and the holiday season kinda got in the way a little bit. But, I'm a helluva blogger for the first few weeks of the season and here goes. :) So here are the quick bits:

Tavon Weddel is... amazing. I wondered when FPS starting calculating OPS and then realized that was just his SLG percentage. Sick.

Calgary got swept by Mexico City and then swept GB. Weird.

Did I mention Weddel is on pace for 162 HR?

Henry Orr is batting .559. That'd be a record, even if he still played in Calgary.

Some big injuries in the first sim. Check your rosters, I don't wanna spoil it.

This should be a very competitive season... I'm excited that it's back!

Go Calgary, and anyone else who wants to post, please hit me up for a login!
