“The Captain looked over the town with great satisfaction, noting the many fine opportunities for future plunder.”

Well, the first month of the 2021 season went about as expected. 16-10 (.615), 1st in most pitching categories, 1st in Deff and ZR, 1st in base running, 2nd in stolen bases. Typical stuff for a run prevention team.

Runs Allowed 1st, Runs Scored t-13th. The bats are a little more sleepy than we’d like, but it’s early.

Currently we’re division second -½ game out, behind Seattle Reign. Looks like a team built around pop, which means we can expect some interesting series against them.

Training proceeds. About midway through the season we should be able to stabilize and assign more permanent lineups, but there’s already enormous flexibility. We don’t appear to be giving away many games to defense.
