Just had my first schwarze of the season (I honestly can't remember if I ever had another one)

Fun fact: My team winning % prior to the schwarze was .455. Therefore the likelihood of these teams going 6-0 is (.455)^6 or .00888 or 0.89%

This translates to 1/112.6, which means if I have equally crappy teams, I SHOULD get a schwarze about once a year. The cutoff combined winning percentage for a 1/162 chance is around .4283.

This pointless mathematical interlude brought to you by low motivation and half-day Fridays.

I’m here for this content.

Likewise!

Bravo.

Please take a peek at MLB134891, it's the Most Strikeout Stat League. I've found it beneficial to offer themes that take you out of your comfort zone. This one's out there. All games for this one are in Fulton County. See forum thread for complete rules.

Guys like Rob Deer, Adam Dunn, Dave Kingman and Khris Davis will no doubt be in use...

Because for some bizarre reason I feel the need to jinx myself, I'll ask: when will the Round 2 themes be announced?

Because I have 5 full days off before starting a new job (and am still managing to sit in 12th place for now), I'll ask as well. I have some real time to spend on them if they'd materialize.

My $100M team started 20-9. Won 16 of their last 20 now. In between: 23-61. Extreme results like that are pretty ridiculous.

I'm 4 points outside the cage, hoping to be invited in. To keep things in perspective, my best team has the same record as Discodemo's second worst team. The gap between 1 and 24 is pretty large, large enough, at least, to not give me any wild ideas that I have a chance to win, if I do make it into the 2nd round.

unlikely to be posted before the playoffs start

Well I suppose after three straight 1-5 cycles, maybe the sim gods are warning me about potential risks of confidence anyway ...

Crappy week of endless 1-5 or 2-4 cycles...

So what are the odds that this cycle 5 of the 6 teams I'm playing are all in the top 21?!? Yikes!

Painful...three 1-0 L in a 1-5 AM cycle.

I team plays well enough to give me hope and then has multiple1-5, 0-6 cycles. I’ve probably had more 6-0 cycles though than ever before

Did anyone go lower than 1,225 IP in the $70M?

We were assured that we would lose 100 games. We're holding a slight lead in our division, are 5th in runs allowed in the NL. They never approached a death spiral, and all arms should end up within their allotted 10% window. They've needed a bit of managing, but have stayed green for the most part.
