I wrapped up my starts Sunday in Summer of 69 (http://games.espn.com/flb/clubhouse?lea ... sonId=2016).

Not the best day of my life: 45.0 IP - 41 K/3 Wins/5.20/1.42

Jake Odorizzi, Daniel Norris, and Ariel Miranda were good, but Ivan Nova, Jose De Leon, Robbie Ray, Alec Asher, Chad Bettis, and CC Sabathia contributed little.

Will Graham (12 Monkeys Clicking)(http://games.espn.com/flb/clubhouse?lea ... sonId=2016) used 8 starts to finish with 187 and put up some better numbers: 42.2 IP - 45 Ks/ 3 Wins/3.80/1.38.

Jamestown Gingerbots (http://games.espn.com/flb/clubhouse?lea ... sonId=2016) became the second team in Summer of 69 to reach 188 starts. Their 9 pitchers on Tuesday put up the best finishing numbers so far, recording 1 win and 46 strikeouts in 52 innings with ratios of 2.77 and 1.10. Only James Shields failed to contribute anything worthwhile.

Michigan OLDNAVY (RCL 1000) (http://games.espn.com/flb/clubhouse?lea ... sonId=2016 also wrapped up their 188 starts Tuesday, but had Shields, Gausman, and Garza messing things up. They finished with 2 wins and 42 Ks in 49.2 innings with a 4.53 ERA and 1.39 WHIP.

The Road Warrior (League Of Shadows) used 8 starts to finish at 187. They had 2 wins and a save, 38 strikeouts, and ratios of 3.80 and 1.50. They, too, made the mistake of starting Shields and Garza, along with A.J. Griffin.

9 starts and only 1 win, that's just not right

Yeah, especially since everybody pitched well. Manaea 6 shutout innings; Tomlin, Smyly, and Musgrove 1 run each.

Three more teams made it to 188 on Wednesday; one of mine and 2 from Mike Lester (ESPN ID). All 3 had Alex Cobb (7 ER/1.1 IP) and Luke Weaver (6 ER/2 IP), so ratios all high. Coincidentally, all ended with 40 strikeouts.
