The NML is a Strat-O-Matic baseball league, entering its 20th season. We expanded to 16 teams in 2006, but we are always looking for new enthusiastic managers willing to face a challenge. This is a salary format league, utilizing contracts, free-agency, protected farm systems, soft salary cap, and bonus point system based on team performance. We also implement a division realignment every year, similar to that of English Premier Football (Soccer). We have a great group of guys that enjoy spirited competition.
Congratulations to Chuck Carline and the 2019
Darwin Cup Champion Northeast Neanderthals!!
May results are official. Worcester and New Britain are tied up at 34-19 atop the Nietzchean division with Monroe and Northeast currently holding the 3rd and 4th playoff spots. Long Island, Monongahela and Niagara Falls are close behind with a whole lot of baseball still to go. In the Socratic division San Joaquin has opened up an early but sizeable 6.5 game lead while the rest of the teams are all in contention for the remaining playoff spots. With 4 months to go it looks as though everyone is still in contention with only Haven drifting off a bit. Congratulations to Rich and the Monroe Matadors for their team of the month honors with a 21-8 record in May, Worcester was just one game further back with 20 wins and New Britain and San Joaquin followed with 19 victories each. CM's for June are due in by Thursday June 11th, lets try to get them in on time so we can get the June games started and get back on schedule.
Click the button below to see this years power ratings plus projected ratings for 2021 based on current real time MLB player stats. The projected ratings will begin on
opening day and change on a daily basis as the players real time stats get updated using the Strat Card Projector. I will try to update the ratings at least once a week.
The 2020 projections should change dramatically as the season progresses so have some fun following your teams progress or lack of progress.
(Projected ratings are on hold until MLB regular season begins.)
