That OL Series trophy must be taking up a bit of room! A rare thing so far...

Congrats to all the OL series winners!

I slipped past a superior team in the D361 WCS to head to the next stage, but I'm up against another deep team who won our season series 11-8 with my 4th starter in game 1 and some bullpen fatigue against a fresh team. I don't like my odds, but hope springs eternal. Will know how it turns out in about an hour...

Edit: Squeaked through the DS 3 games to 2 to advance to round 3 and a match up with the Columbus Evil Squirrels, who took our season series 5-1. It's been uphill all the way so far, and it's getting steeper...

Edit: Made a good run, but the Squirrels were too much for the Bakemonotachi. They took the CS 4-2, and will proceed to the Series.

After another sub par campaign in the Gold League, hitting coach Ty Webb weighed in.

"We have to see our future. Seeing your future may, make, make it. I've told the guys to be the ball more. We will see if that gets us out of the proverbial Gold lumberyard. If not dolphin season is coming up..."

Well, Humperdinck! Since falling from Diamond in two weeks time, my head is a bit scrambled, lol. BRONZE it is !!!

Except for Aomori, carrying the OL banner in their quest for Perfect, all team movement is set for next season. Feel free to perform Friends List maintenance. We still have OL teams alive in all levels except Stone and Rookie, where New Zealand fell in the wild card round. Good luck to those still playing. We'll have five crown chases next season.

Diamond - Mount Hawke, Port Ruppert, North Bay, Los Angeles
Gold - Waffletown, Madder Do Ees, Bushwood, Greenland, Auckland, Baltimore, New York, Claptown
Silver - Columbia, Wilmington, Doug, Waxhaw, Colorado Springs, Shinbone, Aceldama
Bronze - Daytona Beach, Grovers Mill, Coney Island, Bruno, Terra Incognita, Savannah, Brooklyn, Holy City, SaukCentre
Iron - Bordeaux, Fort Davis, Belo Horizonte, Long Beach, Eden Prairie
Stone - Card Era, Austin
Rookie - New Zealand

Thanks. I was just coming back to fix that. I noticed my mistake when I was making sure they were on Terra Incognita's Friends List.

SlinkyTWF · 07-10-2022, 06:20 PM

Aomori fell in the CS, and will be remaining in diamond for at least another week. Can't get rid of me that easily. :-)

Was rooting for you! 5 teams in Diamond is cool though.

Stanley Kuppchaser · 07-10-2022, 07:11 PM

Baltimore in Silver, Aceldama in Bronze, and Holy City in Iron are all in their respective World Series.

Stanley Kuppchaser · 07-10-2022, 10:18 PM

The Aceldama Butchers, who had their first winning season since PT 19 (okay, so they moved to Asylum and were the Keepers for 21 & 22), squeaked into the wild card series, where upon they began an improbable run. They capped that run with a 4-2 World Series win over a team that bested them by 14 games during the regular season. After eight straight losing seasons, one more than the Miracle Mets of 1969, they finally shook off the loser label.

The team still hasn't finished higher than third, however. They seemed to have been cursed by good pack luck for their entry league roster, which led to their promotion directly to Bronze, where they have languished, without even a sniff of mediocrity, stalled by low point earnings, meager tournament packs, and fairly dismal pack luck.

They did however, reward their fans by twice catching lightning in a bottle and taking two OL crowns along the way. It would probably be wise for their faithful to relish this unexpected success, for it is expected that their stay in Silver will be brief. Aceldama was also the only OL team to reap PT rewards in 2030.

HRBaker · 07-10-2022, 10:34 PM

Both unexpected and next to impossible, the Baltimore Barons (10th place in Wins) pulled off a 2-1 wildcard series followed by a 3-0 division series to place in the Top Four. They then forced the league championship series to 7 games, winning the last game 3-2 with two runs in the 9th inning.

So the World Series consists of the Baltimore Barons (84-79 Wildcard) versus the Tantooine Sith Lords (105-57). Covering my eyes...

Suprisingly, I pushed the World Series to 6 games even though I lost. Given how I ended the season at 84-79, however, I'm very satisfied with the post season. I ended up 11-8 in playoff games, AND will be going back to GOLD which I did not expect

As always, the issue will be how long I can stay.

Tinkerman · 07-11-2022, 04:05 AM

Congratulations! (another one for the trunk

)

Stanley Kuppchaser · 07-11-2022, 07:41 AM

Here's Diamond, Silver,and Bronze. A quick look at the Universe screen seems to show that we got everybody. You are urged, hiowever, based on my past pronouncements, to wait for Jason to confirm. I can probably handle Silver, but will be the "Catcher in Rye" for all three if we need it. Good luck to all.

stl jason · 07-11-2022, 08:03 AM

2031 tier breakdown:

One miss this time (Wilmington at Silver.... which makes no sense cause they were in the Silver league last season?

)... other than that, everyone where they should be.

Rookie= 1 team
Stone= 2 teams
Iron= 5 teams
Silver= 7 teams
Gold= 8 teams
Diamond= 5 teams

Gold league:

4 of 5 teams in the AC Central from OL, with the other 4 OL teams scattered in 4 different divisions.

I got Diamond. Gonna be a battle between Aomori, Mount Hawke, and Port Ruppert. I'm hoping that a few new faces can help the Tinners shake off the second half of last season!

sabakon · 07-11-2022, 03:10 PM

7 games in and Grovers Mill hasn't been eliminated yet...that's an improvement...

Tinkerman · 07-12-2022, 04:38 AM

Port Ruppert have picked up where they left off.

LA will qualify with 11 games.

Stanley Kuppchaser · 07-12-2022, 07:11 AM

Each team played one series. A peek ahead shows that each team will have at least 15 games for the OL season. No team currently in relegation zone.
