When do round 2 themes get posted? I’m optimistic but I’d rather be ready than not...given how long it took some of yal to make round 1 squads....

Normally between the 2/3 mark and the 5/6 mark of the Round 1 regular season. So, this year, that'd be in mid/late July.

I had a couple good days and started to creep slowly up to the top of the 40s with some hope developing ... only to post three straight 1-5s today and let all the air right back out of the tires. It just doesn't feel like my year. ... But then again, is 2020 anyone's year?

Yes. Bezos and the rest of the billionaires love 2020.... Largest transfer of wealth in human history has occurred since March, as was easily predicted as soon as they announced lockdowns....

That's probably why I didn't feel too much sympathy for the MLB owners claiming the season would cost them money ...

After starting 12-30 in 1-run games (.285 win%) I’ve gone 39-34 (.534 win%) to bring my teams back into contention. It’s a miracle!

As attributed to Yogi Berra, it gets late early.

And it's getting really late.

Silver King note, in case it matters: 10.1 IP, 160 PC. Still at 81% and will be at 100% after 1 day off.

I think of all the leagues. The $90m is what I’m most curious to see splits for. In my league, it seems clear that teams with modern pitchers are performing at a higher level defensively. Am definitely going to be taking a closer look at these numbers: *for reference- only 1 team with deadball era pitchers is above League average for errors*

Aaaaand, have promptly gone 9 - 20 since then. .310%

A schwarze in Game 87 puts me at 28-8 since the all-star break. I'd feel better about that if I hadn't been so awful in the first half and it's only moved me up to 50th. But it's a sliver of hope anyway.

might be a weird question - but why have rules/restrictions for team names if it isn't enforced?

How exactly are injuries triggered? I just had a mopup guy with a RL IP/G of 1.33 pitch 3.2 IP against me, throwing 210 pitches and giving up 36 runs.

(1973) Jim Panther would like everyone to know that only 29 of the 36 runs were earned...

His outing included a 23-run 7th inning that saw:
7 unearned runs
6 walks
2 grand slams, both by Lou Boudreau!
