D395 Season 15 (2033) mini mini whale feeder league - Page 2

The WC races in each league are really good.

In the AC, five teams are within three games of the WC, which also has a two-way tie for the 2nd WC slot.

In the NC, another five teams are chasing a two-way tie, but two are 5.5 and 6.5 games out.

Me neither. Well, except for the Renton Warriors who also have an -11 pythag right now. Weird!

Then there's my Clippers who are 21 games below .500 after 6 straight seasons of 85+ wins which included my two best seasons with 90 wins each which happened to be my previous 2 seasons. Now we totally suck even though I made no changes. I realize the competition may have improved, but surely not that much so it seems like a really bad year for multiple players (mostly pitchers) all happened at once.

Edit: OK, this is really crazy. Your Seals are now -12 pythag. Anyone else see one this bad before? Even in solo play I don't remember one this bad. Your team could easily be a WC team if it weren't for bad luck.

I'm 9 games out of 2nd place with a pythag record that is 11 games ahead of that team.

So we have 2 divisions now with all teams over .500. I've never seen that happen before (this late in the season). My Clipper ship sunk to the bottom this year, but I can't imagine things will be this bad again next year. We still might get relegated, but somehow I doubt that will happen.

Just got a MASSIVE boost. 3 game out of the wild card, but JD Martinez just had a 10 RBI game and I picked up 5000 PP. Need to see how I can best improve my team with 26 games left.

Nice! I just won a game against Durham 18-0, but it looks like I just missed a bunch of different top level achievements in it. Still netted me about 1800 points, but nobody even had more than 4 RBI in it. Even if we had achievements for them, almost everyone in the lineup scored a run (8/9) and almost everyone got an RBI (8/9). Heck, 7/9 batters even had a walk. I needed 2 more runs to get the 20 mark to push 2 of the achievements up to the next level. Heck, nobody even had a 2-HR or 4-hit game for those ones which are the "Easy" ones to wrap up.

sharknut · 03-16-2019, 12:12 PM

2 games back now and I am taking a chance on selling one of my better starters to get enough PP to get a GREAT starter.

sharknut · 03-16-2019, 01:49 PM

Shoot, sold my guy and now my target had already been sold. Have to settle for my 2nd choice.

6 teams within 2 1/2 of the last wildcard spot.

sharknut · 03-16-2019, 02:37 PM

Just rallied for 3 in the bottom of the 9th to move to within 1 of the WC. *back to back walk off wins now*

sharknut · 03-16-2019, 04:10 PM

5 wins in a row, 1/2 game out now and just 4 1/2 out of the division. Just won the 1st game of a 3 game series against the leaders.

I have no idea what the hell is wrong with my team.

Well, the Clippers finally started playing well, but way too little, too late. It's our 1st losing season in 7 years.

Good luck to the rest who are still in it (and still paying attention!).

sharknut · 03-17-2019, 07:18 AM

3-11 in the last 14 games. All I had to do was go .500 to make the playoffs.

Orcin · 03-17-2019, 09:22 AM

Good luck to everyone in the playoffs today, and thanks to all of you for your efforts to keep this league going week after week. It has been a blast and I hope to see all of you again in the next round.

daveh2018 · 03-17-2019, 10:52 AM

Good luck to everyone in the playoffs and will be seeing you around the Diamond level going forward...and in OOTP 20 starting next week.

I have 2 Diamond teams and I CLEARLY picked the wrong one. My other team had 100 wins and I am in the WS now.

If Both were 50 points or lower you can have both in the league. In perfect mini whale someone has 3 teams in the league. All 3 did not make the playoffs but it was competitive nonetheless.

The other team won the Diamond WS, so they are up to Perfect now for my 2nd chance up there.
