It just goes to show how important top end postseason pitching is to the success of a team. The Hatchets have a very impressive rotation including the likes of perfect Walter Johnson (500k PP!), perfect Nolan Ryan, and a pitching staff probably costing at least 700k PP which helped carry their victory in this postseason. How good was their rotation? Here's a list of all their postseason games:
2-0 (Waffletown game 163)
2-3, 2-1, 5-4, 6-4 (Divisional series against the Washington Senators)
3-5, 10-0, 5-3, 0-5, 3-0, 12-3 (CS against Southern Southpaws)
3-2, 3-0, 2-1, 2-0 (WS sweep against Cigar City Lagers)
It was a truly improbable run, considering that the Hatchets had to win a 1-game playoff against Waffletown to even make the playoffs in the first place. Congratulations!

I'll add...tied for 14th best record in the league during the regular season. Seems like I rarely see the best regular season team do well in the playoffs.
As for the pitching - very few of the staff was acquired through the Auction House. Most were out of packs, including Johnson and Papelbon.
But I *was* watching Cinderella last night during the WS.
