#2 Missing that extra Vawt

Atlanta Brave Vawts

If there were no playoffs in the USMLB, the Brave Vawts would probably the greatest team the league has ever seen. They hold the league records for most victories for any club during the last seven years, every single season finishing with at least 90 victories and a league record five 100 win seasons. But then the American League Championship game comes, where the team has only advanced twice during there five tries. Each time the Brave Vawts have made it to the World Series the Monterrey Stars stood in there path and have been beaten both times in a close seven game series during season five and a quick sweep during season seven. There’s no question that the Brave Vawts are one of the best run teams in the league, we just have to hope one day a World Series victory will be in there future as well. FACE!!!!

The total percentage of wins for the Brave Vawts is .624 (708 victories and 426 losses). The most wins in a single season were 117 during seasons four. The most losses in a season were 72 during season one.

Vawt is entering his eighth season as the general manger of the franchise compiling a 708-426 record for a .624 winning percentage. Vawt has the most victories for any manager in the league and also holds as the third most victories in the playoffs with 33 even though he also has 36 losses during the playoffs for the most in the league. Vawt also seems to motivate his players when ever another team from the American League East tries to make run the division crown and at the end of the year they have a nice double digit lead.

#3 Running of the Bulls

Durham Bulls

During the first five years of the Bulls was one of the best teams in the league. They won four straight American League South division titles and a wild card berth during season 5. They also had even had back to back trips to the World Series where they happen to fall short of winning it all. Now the team really seems to be in rebuilding mode and desperately needing help in the rotation. Can the Bulls find enough help in the rotation to begin to recapture there past glory?

The total percentage of wins for the Bulls is .570 (646 victories and 488 losses). The most wins in a single season were 101 during seasons one and two. The most losses in a season were 92 during season six.

Hacker7 is entering his third season as the general manger of the franchise compiling a 148-176 record for a .457 winning percentage. Hacker7 took over a team that never had a losing record but it look like the team was beginning to hit the wall anyway. I think the big mistake for Hacker7 was trying to get some good pitching on a team that was never known for there pitching and was all about the offense. I believe if he would have stuck with this strategy possible the team would have a couple more winning seasons under there belt.

Future Outlook: Rebuilding

#4 Win Baby Win!

Jackson Blazers

There isn’t much you can say about a team that is one of the three teams in the league that has never had a losing season or about the team with the second most playoff appearances or about the team with the fewest wins in a season is at 89 but the one thing you can say about the Blazers is that they can pitch. The team has a 4.01 team Earned Run Average over the last seven years, the tops in the league. For the last seven years the team has allowed only 4.34 runs per game, with does kind of numbers it’s a no-brainer as to why the Blazers have been so successful.

The total percentage of wins for the Blazers is .583 (661 victories and 473 losses). The most wins in a single season were 100 during season two. The most losses in a season were 73 during season five.

Bodean is entering his eighth season as the general manger of the franchise compiling a 661-473 record for a .583 winning percentage. Bodean has been one the top managers in the league during the regular season compiling the third most victories for any manager in the league. The one blimp on Bodean’s resume is the playoffs, as he is 19-22 during his six trips to the playoffs.
