OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - The Bucs Start Here - A Pirates Do-Over

A nice strong start from the lads although I'm not sure how much petrol we've used up in the process, with a host of close and late and walkoff wins among our 28 to this point. Still, we'll take it.

You can see those nailbiters among the stats: 19 of 47 decided by one run, with another 6 needing spares and our record in the two a fortuitous 16-9.

Arriba has flown out the gate and must consider himself unlucky not to win one of the two monthly awards from this first stanza (both go to rampaging Frank Robinson, with Rico Petrocelli doing likewise in the AL). Maz is on the cusp of being sent down to AAA with only injuries to Dal Maxvill down there and Bob Bailey at the big club saving his bacon for now.

We know that this season is mainly going to be about avoiding a total meltdown on the pitching side of things - and, so far, so good in that regard.

Both sets of standings remain relatively cluttered entering June.
