Fun fact: Both the 19 and 20 Rebels were bumped from the LDS in five.

Meanwhile, for the first time ever, all three of my teams are in the LCS. My other two are totally F2P and I spend very little time trying to figure them out, just going packs only. But both are now going to get bumped up to Gold where they will be destroyed.
Meanwhile, the Dolphins are heading into the LCS and hoping for a shot at PL championship #2. Our biggest rival looked to be the Winterfell Direwolves, who have dropped us twice from the playoffs. But they got bounced in the division series.

There's a lot to consider here, thanks!

Seriously, I would like to add another top 5 starter. I have Tim Keefe as a fourth starter and he is doing fairly well for me. He has averaged 7.4 WAR over 10 seasons with a 2.73 ERA in 2,733 innings. I wouldn't need a fifth starter for the playoffs. So in summary, I agree with the idea but I think I only need one more starter. Quote:

The Raccoons head back to the Evergreen Forest with a 2-0 lead over the Bridgeville Bucs. We defeated Pedro in the 1st game, 4-2 (Schilling won) and then we beat Seaver 9-2 (Keefe won). Ruth got a 3-run HR in the 1st game to help us win and Mays drove in 4 in the 2nd game. Appling has a .458 OBP in the playoffs so far and Keeler is hitting .579 so lots of hot bats.
One thing that helped us was the Bucs having to play 5 games in their playoff series forcing them to use their ace perfect Walter Johnson in game 5, while we swept ours leaving our ace to start game 1. So far in the post-season, we're outscoring the opposition 33-8 and are 5-0. It's weird, we've been so lucky the past 4 post-seasons, winning the previous 3 we were in and in each case, we had to beat at least one superior team to do so. Can we get lucky again? I still think the Bucs are the better team, but fortunately for us, that doesn't matter now. Tomorrows' game pits Sutton vs their Mathewson and then we'll have to face Johnson in game 4.

I don't really have any idea where any particular problem lies with your team Orcin, but after playing 24 games against the Mighty Orcins last season, I think you've primarily been incredibly unlucky in the playoffs. Your team looks good to me, makes it hard to give any specific opinions on it. If anything, I'd probably dump Honus Wagner and spend that PP on a couple of other players instead.
Just my 2 cents. |

My Lenny's 162's are something like: .271/.331/.402, 7 HR, 98 wRC+, 4.0 WAR. Maybe I overreacted a bit to his hitting .240 with bad OBP over the past couple of seasons because the two before that were pretty good. Not 7-WAR good, but still pretty scrumptious. Considering that he's only played 440 games for me and has been training in LF/RF for much of that time (or his per-162 WAR would probably be closer to 5 or 6). I should also keep in mind that my ballpark factors are more 1.05-ish than your 1.1's. Then again, I also platoon him so he never sees lefty pitchers and I'd think that nullifies some of the above.

...instead post him 1 PP above quick sell and give him to me.

If you are looking to add SE Luke Appling, there were no fewer than 4 copies on the AH last I checked. It also looks like the price point is steadily coming down (from ~100K to the 70s/80s). I can't vouch for the MINT-ness of any of those copies, however.

Wagner is a frequent 20/20 player (3 in 8 years and missed a fourth by 1 HR), but he is no Rizzuto in the field. I have moved Wagner around in the infield to play Rizzuto in several seasons, and I like the defense there. I really have to think about what I could do with those points. Thanks for reminding me of this option. |

I would be happy with a used card that had training at second base though.

It's Washington vs the San Angelo Warbirds in the finals in P436. Congrats to the Warbirds on upsetting the New Orleans Brees in 5 games. Good luck to both squads, although I think I'd rather see Washington go completely undefeated in the playoffs after a dominant 131-win season.

The Bucs won 5-3 and then 5-1 at our park (after we won both at their park). Our 99 Johnson got hammered (2.2 IP 8 H 2 BB) in game 4 and our offense suddenly went silent. I was hoping for a win against Mathewson since he's their weakest SP.
In the 5th game, it was Schilling vs Pedro again and again we won 4-2 so now we're up 3-2. Just one more win and off to the WS again. But this Bucs team isn't going to go down easy. The next game pits our Keefe vs Seaver which gives us an advantage, but with their offense... We'll see. If we lose, we'll have to face 100 Johnson in the final.

For the 19th straight Perfect league season the Doubledays were eliminated from the playoffs after losing in the Conference Championship series to the Crowns 4 - 1. This after another stellar 118 win season and top seeding in the conference. This team just does not match up well in the playoffs against the pitchers worth over 300k (or maybe even over 15k ).
Better luck next week. Even the Cubs were able to eventually win a series.

Well, that didn't go so well. Keefe lasted... Let's see, he made it... ZERO innings! Yay! So we got clobbered 8-0 and now will face perfect Johnson in the final game with Sutton going for us. Suddenly, things are looking rather bleak. But perfect Johnson's not perfect so maybe we can still do this?

After winning the WS in our last 3 post-season appearances, our luck finally ran out. The Bucs killed the Raccoons 11-0 in the final to win the LCS 4-3. Clearly, the better team won. Congratulations to the Bucs!

Played in my first PT league this week. Iron 218 - just won the title! Had easily the best team +234 RD, next best was +107... first in runs scored and runs against.
Lost the first two games in the championship... scored only one run in each game. Shuffled the lineup around, took 4 straight. Is this heaven? No.. it's meaningless fake baseball championships bay bay!

P426: Down to the Wire
The #1 seeds Mississauga Carnivores and Homestead Grays dominated on their way to a Perfect League Series showdown, and it's a true fall classic, as the Carnivores stormed out to a 3-0 lead, only to see Homestead come all the way back from the brink to tie the series. Game 7 features Homestead's Dolf Luque against Mississauga's Walter Johnson for all the marbles.

This season was the most lucrative for the Cheaters since the entry pool. Lefty Grove going 25-0 in the regular season, then 3-0 in the postseason including WS game 7 winner, MVP Boggs, Pitcher of the year Grove, pitching triple crown Grove, Reliever of the year Clarkson, plus a couple of Great Bats. Also the most wins this team has ever had, going all the way back to iron. Was a ridiculous, filthy season I doubt this team will see again. |
