Nice to know that will be changed, but I don't see how Carpenter was considered better than Nen or Rivera. He was brought in to face a LHB initially.

Thanks. Wasn't expecting that after the way our team finished. And never saw a SB of home in the game before - doesn't really make sense though in that scenario.

Actually, that does help. I can be happy for him now.

I mean, in real life maybe he just caught you off-guard and went for it.

I will have to talk to Markus though to fix the payout for next year, since just a bronze achievement and 200 PP just seems like way too little.

Renton Warriors is the 9 year old...who is turning 10 today.

We will be out all day so hopefully his pre-set settings will take him to the finals, which should be late enough for us to be back.

Unfortunately, one of us won't make it to Perfect league.

They've gone a nice job with the Knuckleballers. It's definitely a tough road to perfect now, it's a high bar to make it to the World Series. It is disappointing only one of us will make it to Perfect.

What a nice present on their birthday to win the league or reach perfect again. An exciting day all around. My only championship came when I was away for all of the playoffs. Sometimes that's easier, or at least less stressful!

joehart · 02-24-2019, 07:21 PM

I am glad you are back to Perfect....I had some good competitive series with you before.

Hope we will get a Warriors-Titans match in the finals. I may need to put on the "300 Spartans" movie in the background to match the logo theme.

Thanks, I'm looking forward to it. Really enjoyed both leagues, seems like a good group in both.

I was scared of the Knuckleballers, I was still scarred by April.

Good call on "300 Spartans". That would be a fun series. Of course their series will go seven. Doesn't look like Dierker did the pen any favors only lasting two innings.

joehart · 02-24-2019, 08:31 PM

Looks like kiddo won 3 and then lost 4 games in a row. No Warriors in the finals.

This game is getting expensive...every time the kids lose, they abuse the ink cartridge with lots of new strategy printouts based on all the other teams.
Good luck and see you all next week for more fun.

That's bad when the price of ink is more than the price of PP. I love that they do that though.

When I saw my Davidsons down 3-0, I was happy that the kiddo would be moving onto the finals. Can't believe that comeback happened. Great series and competition all year, finally figured out how to beat the Warriors.

Just added a last minute member (bluecard) to the diamond list. Please friend him up if you see this before logging off tonight. Thanks!

Orcin · 02-24-2019, 10:34 PM

And one more last minute member... that will fill us up in both levels if it works. Please update if you can, and be sure that Matt2 is NOT on your lists. I pulled him to add the new member (which is ok with Matt).

I'm wondering that myself. Had an early meeting so went to bed early when it was tired 1-1.
