2036 ABL PLAYOFFS

Once more, the ABL had chewed up and spit out 20 of its teams over a six-month season and only four lucky division winners remained. Who would ascend to the very top of the pile in October?

Maybe the Miners. The first team to clinch and the one that won its division by the biggest margin of all (seven games) was also tying for the worst record in the playoffs of ’36 (90-72), but didn’t look entirely bad on the surface. The offense had been rather average and seventh in runs scored in the FL, while the pitching had been very good, with the second-fewest runs conceded. Their run differential had been +69, which wasn’t outrageous for a 90-win team, but they knew what they could count on, f.e. 5-time Player of the Year Danny Santillano batting .299 with 20 homers and 100 RBI, which was a slow year by his standards. Ozzie Burgos and Chris Russell had both batted over .310, and in the rotation Roberto Pruneda had a breakout year, winning 20 games with a 2.92 ERA at age 27. While he was the only Miner with an ERA better than 3.40, they still carted up a sturdy rotation with no gaps, and the pen was solid, too. They had no significant injuries, with only reserves on the DL.

Opposing them were the 96-67 Stars, who were in the playoffs for the first time in almost FORTY YEARS after climbing over the Wolves in a tie-breaker game, extending Salem’s even longer October drought further. The Dallas Shoebox Slappers had scored the most runs in the league despite not hitting an appreciable amount of home runs – but they had three batters with a .333-or-better average in the lineup, including Hugo Acosta (.365, 0 HR, 59 RBI), the FL batting champ. Abel Madsen’s 16 homers led the team by a good margin. But, oh, the pitching. Here the shoebox effect came through. Only Eric Weitz (17-11, 3.46 ERA) had a sub-4 ERA among starters, and while the pen had a few lockdown guys (Josh Boles, Adrian McQuinn, Julio San Pedro), the shallow end was shallow indeed, which ERA’s getting over five for some of their playoff personnel. Defense was also absolutely not their thing – they were near the bottom of the league in defensive efficiency. They had however the distinction of sitting first in the FL in both walks drawn and fewest walks conceded with a net +256 more walks drawn than issued, which was a remarkable stat.

In the CL it was the Titans once more, finishing 95-67 for the #2 seed in the playoffs after stubbing the Raccoons out of the way in the final week. Here was the best pitching in the ABL, with only 526 runs allowed over the season, but their offense was truly woeful, in the bottom three in the CL, limiting their run differential to +103. They couldn’t find even three .250 batters, and their third-highest average hitter, Willie Vega (.244, 13 HR, 74 RBI) was out for the season. Only Keith Spataro (.291, 10 HR, 65 RBI) and Antonio Gil (.278, 5 HR, 49 RBI) remained. The pitching staff had lost Adam Potter from the rotation, but that still left Matt Brost (16-6, 3.20 ERA) as the *worst* starter they would field in the playoffs. Mario Gonzalez had finished a hard-luck 15-13 with a 2.28 ERA. The pen was usually solid, but had lost closer Jermaine Campbell (.5-5, 1.73 ERA, 45 SV) just in time for the CLCS, although he could be back if the series ran late or they made the World Series regardless.

Facing Boston were the 90-72 Condors, winning the CL South after a monumental collapse on the Aces’ part in September. The Condors had the second-best rotation and the third-fewest runs allowed, but actually scored runs from time to time, finishing fourth in offense in the CL. Shane Sanks (.259, 28 HR, 84 RBI) was aging like wine, Justin Williams (.278, 19 HR, 102 RBI) was some discovery, and Willie Ojeda (.317, 24 HR, 103 RBI) was sheer terror, with a respectable supporting cast (although the lineup was a bit long in the tooth near the bottom). Their rotation was almost as strong as a group than the Titans’, with Juan Garcia (19-6, 2.51 ERA) leading the way. Their pen, however, was a bit of a mess outside of fail-proof closer Ray Andrews (5-3, 1.26 ERA, 47 SV).

This was the 11th playoff showing for Pittsburgh, and the fourth in the 2030s. They had never won the championship. Dallas hadn’t been in the playoffs since 2008. They also had their 11th appearance, but three championships (1983, 1988, 2006). The teams had never met in the FLCS before.

Both the Condors and Titans were playoff regulars, meeting in the CLCS approximately every five minutes. Tijuana was in the CLCS for the 17th time, and the ninth time in ten years, but had only one championship ring clipped around their beclawed legs (2029). The Titans were in the playoffs for the 19th time, with credit for 11 appearances in the last 15 years. They had nine championships, but only one in the last decade (2031). These teams had met in the CLCS in 1997, 1998, 2029, 2031, 2032, and 2034. The Condors had won the 2029 and 2034 matchups, and the Titans the four others.

Experts agree on both the Condors and the Stars making the World Series in six games each.

38-year-old Taiwanese catcher Jing-quo Liu*, who had only 44 at-bats in the regular season, lifts the Miners into the World Series with a 1-out, 2-run double off Robby Gonzalez in the 16th inning, breaking a 5-5 tie persisting since the eighth inning.

2036 WORLD SERIES

The World Series was here, and the usual CL pennant winners from Boston got their closer back, which made their pitching staff look that much more discouraging. While Boston had scored 63 fewer runs than Pittsburgh in the regular season, they had conceded 107 fewer runs, and even then the Miners’ staff was one of the best in the Federal League!

Neither team had suffered injuries in the LCS. The Titans remained without Adam Potter and Willie Vega, the latter personnel keeping the offense somewhat limp. But, eh, it had been enough to topple the Condors, right?

These teams had never met another in the World Series. This left only the Rebels and Stars as FL teams the Titans had never contested a World Series against.

PIT @ BOS … 10-6 … (Miners lead 1-0) … PIT Danny Santillano 2-3, BB, 2B, 2 RBI; PIT Tony Salinas 3-4, HR, 3 RBI; BOS Antonio Gil 3-4, RBI; BOS Keith Spataro 2-4, BB, RBI; BOS Moises Avila 2-4, BB, 2B, 2 RBI;

PIT @ BOS … 4-13 … (series tied 1-1) … PIT Ozzie Burgos 2-5, RBI; BOS Keith Spataro 2-4, BB, HR, 4 RBI; BOS Moises Avila 2-5, HR, 4 RBI; BOS Jay Elder 3-5, RBI;

BOS @ PIT … 10-3 … (Titans lead 2-1) … BOS Antonio Gil 3-5, 2B; BOS Moises Avila 3-5; BOS Jay Elder 2-4, BB, 2B, 2 RBI; BOS Mark Walker (PH) 1-1, HR, 3 RBI;

As pitching remains absent, so remains the Titans’ lineup, with a crew of impostors putting 29 runs on the Miners in just three games.

BOS @ PIT … 3-2 (10) … (Titans lead 3-1) … BOS Matt Brost 8.0 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER; 0 BB, 6 K; PIT Danny Santillano 2-3, BB, HR, RBI;

BOS @ PIT … 2-10 … (Titans lead 3-2) … BOS Antonio Gil 2-4, RBI; BOS Jim Young 3-3, 2B; BOS Chris Barnes 1-2, 2 BB; PIT Omar Lastrade 3-4, BB, 2 2B, 4 RBI; PIT Chris Russell 4-5, HR, 2B, 3 RBI;
