The big change this year was a lot of platooning and playing the hot hand since I had time to micro-manage this week. I have six outfielders splitting four spots including DH: RHBs 100 DiMaggio, 100 Aaron, 99 Mays, LHBs 100 Yaz, 99 Charleston, and SWH 100 Mantle. Mantle has played LF full-time. DiMaggio has played full-time in either CF or RF. The others have split the remaining PAs with Yaz and Mays getting the most. All 6 are above 120 OPS+ so it has been hard to decide on a full-time lineup. If pressed it would be LF Mantle, CF Mays, RF DiMaggio, DH Yaz/Aaron platoon, 4th OF Charleston.

Nice going against Metheun. I hope you win in the playoffs. What happened to Ruth 100? I had 7 OF and I sold Aaron.
The Magpies entered August 9 back, but got really hot and narrowed the gap to 2.5 by month's end. Twice they entered a 3 game series with Ann Arbor 2.5 back and twice won the first two and twice lost the last one. Currently 1.5 back and 1 more 3 game series with them remaining. Pythag is not my friend once again; according to that I should be leading by 4.5 games. Cy Young is in the hunt for pitching triple crown (again) with a commanding lead in wins, a tiny lead in K, and trailing slightly in ERA. A terrible week for PP with no gold achievements and only 3 silvers.
