Let's use this forum to sound off about our bad luck, underperforming players and general gripes. With 22 leagues and 528 teams, there should be plenty of material.

With having 31 teams, my goal is simply to go 16-15 (or better) every session. Sadly, a 13-18 performance for game 1.

We went 6-5 in 1-run games which we'll take every time. My two early 1920's Babe Ruth teams went 0-2 (outscored 17-6) and my four stud Babe Ruths (1920 & 21 and 1921 & 23) combined to go 2-for-15 with no HRs and 1 RBI. Hilariously, my 1903-21 Yankees team was up 6-2 through 6 innings and lost 14-6. That will be a recurring theme, I'm sure.

Ironically, my 1894-99 Orioles hitting machine won 14-5 as legendary pitcher Doc McJames outpitched Silver King (King allowed 9 run on 13 hits in 6 innings).

In league 7, my 1930-70 A's scored the fourth most runs in the entire league but had no chance, losing 19-10 to a 34-39 Yankees. My team's ace, '31 Lefty Grove got punished for 12 runs in 3 innings. Going be ugly considering he's the my best SP on that team.

My '61 Frank Lary comes out of the bullpen and walks three guys right away and gets pulled.Considering he only walks 2 per 9 IP in real life,that totally sucks.Come on Sparky,really???

Much better showing in session #2. A couple of my early team selections have started off terribly.

Second choice in league #18, my 1990-03 Red Sox have started 0-2, getting outscored 17-6. What's notable though is '91 Clemens (15 HRs in 272 real life IPs) giving up 3 HRs in 6 IPs in game 1. Extrapolated, that works out to 136 HRs allowed in 272 innings... Not ideal.

First choice in league #3, my 1903-21 Yankees drop to 0-2. What's really disappointing is the top two SPs (Chesbro & R.Ford) have given up 22 hits and 12 runs in 12.2 innings. The rest of the staff sucks, but I figured I'd at least win games started by those two guys. Those two pitchers + Babe Ruth is the main reason I grabbed this team. At least the two Ruths combined to go 2-for-5 with 3 walks (still no HRs).

Nine of my 31 teams are 2-0 and only five are 0-2, so I can't complain too much.

I rarely post in this forum. I only happened upon it because of the 2022 draft league that I do once per year. This should be in thejuice6's namesake forum!

Excellent point.
