So after the 25-6 start, followed by the 8-20 slump that dropped us to second place in the division, the White Tigers in D.359 basically got things squared away, going 64-39 the rest of the way, including a 14-1 stretch going into the all-star break, and pulled away to take the division by 9 games with a record of 97-65. We ended the season taking 2 of 3 from the top seeded cross-town rival Outlaws; we'll be the 2 seed playing the winner of the play-in game between the Diamond Bar Jammers and Neutonia Rebels. We ended the season in third in starter ERA (by less than a hundredth of a point) and and first in bullpen ERA by a full half point. Our starting pitching cooled off a bit as the season went on and Gibson never really got it going, finishing with a 4.86 ERA, but Paige went 19-10 with a 3.10 ERA (2nd in the conference) and Joss went 15-6 at 3.61. J.R. Richard took to his new closer role fairly well, finishing one back of the conference leader in saves (the conference leader in saves had an ERA over 8, oddly). He also had a 2.77 ERA and led the conference in K/9 at 13.3. On the other hand our former closer Lindy McDaniel ended up third in WAR and second in FIP among relief pitchers so I may reevaluate next season. Tom Gordon and Joe Nathan managed to finish with ERAs of 1.90 and 2.15. McDaniel's ERA this season was 2.02 lower than last season, Nathan's was 3.94 lower, Gordon's was a ridiculous 6.45 lower. Olson and Aguilera, our new bullpen additions, were at 2.84 and 2.83 respectively. Batting was very pedestrian this season.

Black Knights in G.310 had a similarly good season, finishing 96-66, finishing with the second seed one game back of the Massachusetts Minutemen; we'll be playing the Iowa Micro Market Mavens. Also similar to the White Tigers we got by on stellar pitching, finishing first in runs allowed, starter ERA, and bullpen ERA, and second in FIP. We also led the conference in defensive efficiency. In particular, Steve Carlton led the conference with a 2.75 ERA despite only winning 14 games; Greg Maddux and Ron Reed both won 17 games. Joe Nathan led the conference in saves, while long reliever Ted Lyons pitched 78.1 innings at an ERA of 1.49.

Sun Kings in D.360 finished at the bottom of their division, going 67-95, though it wasn't bad enough to get relegated. Bagwell, and the team overall, led the conference in home runs though.

Over in PT20, the White Tigers finished as the 2 seed at 111-51 in in P.433 on the strength of some great starting pitching (four pitchers under 3.50, with Richard at 2.75) and a lot of home runs, although Eck had a rare season with an ERA over 3, though only barely. The Black Panthers keep winning silver tournaments left and right, including the daily today, but miss out again on the playoffs in P.435, finishing 73-89. Had some decent enough pitching but our hitting was garbage. Finally, the Golden Lions, who won their first title last season, lost a play-in game and finish just outside the playoffs at 90-73 in D.398.

So now my two secondary teams in PT20 have won titles, but my primary team is still waiting on their first (this is their 34th playoff appearance, and 16th in a row), and I'm still waiting for any of my PT21 teams to win a championship.
