Damn, these baseball games zip along way faster than my hockey games. Part of it has to do with the underlying Strat-O-Matic game mechanics, but the other key factor is that I'm just not tracking stats to the same degree as I am with hockey. Consequently, I can play through a ball game in a half hour, whereas a hockey game tends to take me that amount of time per period.
I'm already halfway through Season 3 of my baseball league. Each team has now played 10 games. The Haymakers are in first, with a 6-4 record and a spiffy +11 run differential. The Blue Legs are 5-5 and -10 (poor John Clarkson is the major culprit here) and the Canaries are bringing up the rear at 4-6 but with a not-so-bad -1 differential. The Haymakers' Cy Young and the Legs' Old Hoss Radbourn are the frontrunners for Pitching MVP, and Dan Brouthers of the Legs and Buck Ewing of the Canaries seem like strong candidates for Positional MVP. I also have my eye on journeyman pitcher Candy Cummings (I know, it sounds like a name better suited for a very different industry) of the Blue Legs, who has stepped up to become a solid #2 starter behind Radbourn, and Cap Anson of the Haymakers, whose quiet consistency has helped his team post a league-leading 41 runs through 10 games. There's still a lot of baseball yet to be played, but it's clear that several players are having standout seasons.
