P411: How Heavy Hitters Have Handled H2H

As August comes to a close, per the Pennant Chase standings screen, the top 5 teams in the AC have the following odds of making the playoffs:

AC East: Bludhaven Robins, 100%; Vlad News Bears, 100%
AC Central: Singapore Sluggers, 100%; Huntley Red Raiders: 100%
AC West: Pine Tar Pirates, 100%

So, how have these teams fared head-to-head? Going by likely playoff matchups:

Likely Wild Card game: Red Raiders 4 - Vlad News Bears 0; Huntley swept a road series in August, but every game was close (7-3, 4-3, 4-3, 7-4); the teams face each other again in a 3-game series in Huntley in the last week of September in what will almost certainly be a Wild Card preview.

Current Division Series #2/#3 matchup: Pine Tar Pirates 2 - Bludhaven Robins 1; way back in May, Pine Tar won 2 out of 3 at Bludhaven (4-3, 9-7, 4-5); the teams meet for a 3-game series in Pine Tar the second week of September.

Other possible Division Series #2/#3 matchup: Singapore Sluggers 2 - Robins 1; in a mid-April matchup, Singapore won 2 of 3 low-scoring games at home (0-3, 4-3, 3-1); the teams face off in a 4-game series in Bludhaven the second week of September, right before Bludhaven faces Pine Tar.

Current #1/WC matchups: Singapore 8 - Huntley 8; Singapore 4 - Vlad News - 2; Singapore won 2 of 3 in both season matchups with Vlad; this is, quite obviously, the best Huntley has ever done against the Sluggers.

Other possible #1/WC matchups: Pine Tar 4 - Huntley 2; Pine Tar 3 - Vlad News 3; in July, the Pirates took 2 of 3 at home and at Huntley, while the Bears and Pirates each won their home head-to-head series matchup 2-1.

Honestly, this all looks like a toss-up; no one powerhouse dominated any other powerhouse.

Meanwhile, in the NC, there is the Seattle Tempest...the Brooklyn Blasters......and everybody else. It would be pretty amazing if the NC Sub-League Series isn't the Tempest hosting the Blasters.

Post-August standings...

In Perfect 427 Paragon City Heroes are 69-64 just 3 games back of the wildcard. thankfully there is only one more series vs the Gramma Philes who have beaten us black and blue (2-10) on their way to a 94-40 season, The Hague Hustlers are already in the playoffs with a 103-31 record, one of these seems favourite to play in the series against the 107-28 Westvleteren.

We made some fairly significant roster changes, bringing in Jimmie Foxx to replace Gwynn at DH and also moving on Kirby Puckett, he was amazing at lower levels but his OBP and Strikeout rate just aren't good enough for PL imo. Rocky Colavito leads the teams with 28 HR and 91 RBI, certainly doing what I bought him for, happy with his production. We also brought in Bill Mazeroski to partner Rizzuto up the middle.

Over in Perfect 429 the Bad News Bulldogs have actually had a winning 15-12 month, moving them to the best of the worst in their division at 59-74 just 49 games back of the Kowloon Giants, they are also 5th in the WC standings 22 games back, what a ridiculously unbalanced mess perfect level is, only 6 teams have winning records in the conference, 3 of them in the same division

And down in Gold 365 the Neuman Furshlugginers have managed to seize the initiative in their division with a 20-7 August moving them to 76-57, 7 1/2 games up, Gregg Jefferies is way behind his last 2 years but is leading the league with 90 RBI, It looks like his MVP streak is going to end at 3 though

Coons rallied to eight over .500 to start September. Can they, after 17 straight losing seasons in Perfect, finally nail one down, or is there one more gut-stripping collapse around the corner?

Wickedly, they are also only 1 1/2 games behind the second wild card, which is held by the second-place team in the division, the Korea Coast Guard. Seven of our last ten will be against those guys.

Rebs are at .500, nothing to see there, and the Accountants start September tied for first in their tight division. There may or may not be a wild card available there (probably not).

Was fortunate, I pulled an Eloy Jimenez and he is not much of an improvement in LF, so I sold him for 22,000 and used them for packs. Got 56 new cards, finally over the 1,000 card count for them and closed out a mission and have a few thousand more points coming after all my duplicates sell.

We took 2 of 3 in the first series against Orlando this morning, but remain 6 games behind with 28 to play. Their magic number is 23 and it would not surprise me if they claim it by going 23-5 themselves. I think I used up all of my luck in that perfect run through the playoffs last week, so I am due for a letdown (if you can call 98-36 a letdown). We have allowed 10 more runs than Orlando (407 to 397), but we have scored 194 less (647 to 841). So the source of the problem is clear, but the solution is not.

There are not too many inspirational performances among the position players this season. However, a couple of players have literally provided the bulk of the run production. Mickey Mantle is #2 in the entire league with a .932 OPS and 31 HRs. So much for the idea of Oscar Charleston taking his job. George Brett continues to lead the conference with a .340 BAVG and has enough at bats to qualify for the title if he holds on. The rest of the stars (Boggs, DiMaggio, Ruth, and Mays) are having good (110-118 OPS+) but not great years. Jackie Robinson (108 OPS+) has displaced slumping Luke Appling (81 OPS+, .342 OBP) as the primary second baseman, the catchers (~75 OPS+) have returned to being defensive pieces only, and Phil Rizzuto (79 OPS+) is hitting like a defense-first shortstop.

The offensive park factors still seem to be a positive adjustment, judging by my .800 record at home vs. .667 on the road. However, you must keep those park factors in mind when judging the offensive stats mentioned above. We should be scoring more runs. I may have to devote one more position to offense over defense to find the right balance. I am still toying with the idea of putting DiMaggio in CF full-time to allow Charleston to platoon with Aaron in a corner spot. I might as well try it today since I have already clinched a wild card spot and the division seems out of reach at my present pace.

Just upgraded my Jackie Robinson from the 98 card to the 99 card.

Man, that is some defense at 2nd!

I got Stan Coveleski's peak card to drop (my first legend card), and he's completely turned around my season. I was like 10 games back of the division and 13-14 under .500, and now I'm 2.5 games up on the division and only one game under .500. His stat line:


46 IP, 6-0, 1.76 ERA, 0.85 WHIP, 8 walks, 36 strikeouts. And that's in a silver .310 league!


I've been getting really lucky on pitcher card drops lately. I had 1942 Mort Cooper drop two seasons ago and help me win my 2043 Bronze League.

BRONZE .292

In one of the most odd developments in all of baseball, the Dayton Lawmen are in FIRST PLACE in the division with a 67-70 (.489) record!!!

After a very very rough start and being 11-12 games under .500 and in last place, the Lawmen are roaring back, but only by the Grace of God bc in any other division we'd be in 3rd or 4th place!!! Sporting a 2 GM lead in the division, the Lawmen must finish strong and win the division because there is no hope for a WC at this point. Division winner or bust.

I have thought about this card many times. I hope it works well for you.

The Frogs' grip on a playoff spot continues to fade. From leading the division to being buried in the division. From having a double digit wild card lead, to 6 games, to 0.5 games where it stands currently. Just having been shutout in back-to-back games by a team 25 games under .500 sort of shows where the problem lies.

The only hope for the Frogs is that the team chasing them down, the Homestead Grays, plays a decently tough schedule down the stretch. But, if the Frogs continue to lose to teams 25 games under, it won't really matter.

In yet another dismal season for the Marathoners, a highlight has been shutting out the La Crosse Fighting Frogs in back to back games.

Dick Bartell lands three extra-base hits, plates as many in 9-5 comeback win over 57-87 Cooperstown Classics, giving Raccoons their 80th win of the season - matching their previous Perfect League record with 18 games to spare.

I feel you. The Warbirds have dropped several games to the same types of teams in the last two weeks (today). All year the offence is performing below expectations led by a very soft run producing middle of the lineup.
On pace for our lowest run total in 9 years and 2nd lowest in 15 years.

I don't mess with the roster very much at all and have very little depth but may have to shake it up.

The La Crosse Fighting Frogs and the Homestead Grays go down to the final couple of weeks with just 1 game separating them for the 2nd Wild Card spot.

The Frogs play 10 of their final 13 games against teams that have at least 90 wins. 7 of those will be against the 114-win Fresno Losers.

The Grays play 10 of their final 13 games against teams that have at least 90 wins. 7 of those will be against the 102-win Chicago Rampage.

The San Angelo Warbirds are maintaining a thin 2.5-game lead for Wild Card #1, but are probably in the clear because they don't play any teams with a winning record down the stretch.

Unfortunately there will be a 100-win team that misses the playoffs while the AC Central division leader is currently 25 games under .500.

Critters? Success! 83-67, first winning record in Perfect in 18 tries. And that second wild card is still on the table if they can keep their 2-game lead on the Korea Coast Guard with seven games between those teams left. While I will be in bed of course.

Rebels are .500 … and in last place. Nothing to see anymore there.

The Accountants hold first place by half a game; both wild cards are currently in their division, and they are five games to the good on the first spot out, so they might well draw a lottery ticket in their first Diamond season. I don't think they can make it in Perfect.

The Raccoons are rooting for the Raccoons! I hope you guys make it to the playoffs. And if so, good luck in the playoffs!
