Season 9 (2027) General Discussion

[RunninYakAngler]

Marathoners have taken a 3-2 lead with some outstanding pitching by Hank Aguirre (8 IP 2 H 0 R) beating Severino 2-0. Game 5 seen Steve Busby matched 99 Chris Sale pitch for pitch, both allowing 1 run, but in the bottom of the 10th Steve Sax ripped a single for a walk off win. Really wished I'd watched that replay.

Now for that LOOOOONG Hour wait. Not sure if I'll make it. Game 6 match up looks like my 88 Red Faber against either 91 Carrasco or 82 Mussina.

With Brooklyn losing their WS in 6, that confirms a title-less day for me. All three teams made a run, and all three found confounding ways to throw it away. Almost makes me wish I didn't make the playoffs with any of them.

EXPECTATIONS FOR 2028
New York (Silver) - Avoid relegation. 70 wins should do it.
Brooklyn (Gold) - Make the playoffs. 90+ wins even with the (hopefully) eventual sale of 100 Gooden.
Tri-State (Silver) - Push for a Wildcard. 82 wins bare minimum.

3-3 thru 6 games in the WS. Going on the road with Sutton vs Schilling for game 7.

Down to the wire. Game 7 WS in silver for my Nationals after being down 3-1. I switched my pitching around for his ballpark to get the advantage for games 6 and 7 at home. Worked like a charm. All hands on deck for the World Series game 7 baby.

Now it's time to regroup and plan for the next season

Too bad that you did not make it further.

The team from your side of the league (American league) that made the finals actually lost 4 of the 6 games you played them.
Good luck next season.

Nice to see your pitcher win the Golden Glove award.

On to game 7 for the Marathoners. Red Faber pitched well for 6 innings but the wheels fell off in the 7th. We lose 6-2.

[RunninYakAngler]

And what a game 7 it was! Going into the bottom of the 9th leading 6-3, the BigBoi Choi score 2 runs and have the bases loaded when Howard Johnson strikes out looking! Go Crazy Folks! Go Crazy!

2nd Championship for the Marathoners!

Game 7 goes to the Direwolves, nice postseason run regardless. Bullpen couldn't nail it down in the 8th.

Hey you were delighted to win a DS remember?

I had to go and sleep before the WS last night - left Hide Scores on to watch whatever the last game was this morning....

.....we lost, and it was Game 7 Had two shots at home after being 3-2 up, couldn't make it happen.

Boy though, what a ride!

Coney Island lost in the World Series in seven games. They held a 3 games to two lead and just couldn't seal the deal. Anti climatic after coming back from 3 games down to reach the series.

Overall a good season for the Warriors, thankfully a new season in P409 starts in less than 3 hours so we'll start it up again and chase a championship.

Fighting Saints win their first Perfect World Series in OOTP 20 last night!

Expectations change throughout the day. When you get past the opening round, you become ambitious and demand a championship. When all three do that and can't get the job done when it matters, that's still a poor effort.
