Damn, what a jump.

My team had been tracking side-by-side with yours for most of the season until the last couple weeks. I'm just as surprised as anybody.

It's certainly the most my teams have ever put out. 

I'm on a tear. 71 hr in the last 3 weeks.

I don't know how to catch up when i'm getting 20 a week and falling further and further behind

Last year on June 2 Tom had 125 home runs and was leading the game. This year, he has 123 and is in 7th place. (And possibly banned).

Now in fairness the theoretical maximum at this date has gone up from 174 last year to 187 this year. But everybody's teams are just going nuts.

Drop Vientos ($75)
Add Machado ($75)

The lower third of the standings would disagree...

Basedon having Raleigh and Judge on my team, I thought I would've faired better

[Rex Buckingham]

ok, just found where I had written down my roster and realized why my team has sucked...

Drop: Shea Langeliers (C -$75), Yordan Alvarez (LF - $150), Zack Gelof (2b - $50)

Add: Cal Raleigh (C- $100), Wyatt Langford (LF - $50), Ketel Marte (2b - $150)

if my math is right, that puts my team at a total of $1000 now...

side note: LF is a wasteland in the game this year
