Congrats to the winners!

Few thoughts on the outcomes...

1. Toronto beating Maine feels like a passing of the torch in the Ale. There are other good teams in that division, but Maine has felt like the default team to beat since the Pawtucket Dynasty ended. Toronto, arguably the best young team in baseball, had to defeat the team that had been looking up to in the standings for what seems like forever. I said this in the chat, but it feels like Jordan's Bulls beating the Bad Boy Pistons.

2. Pittsburgh is still cursed.

3. Death Valley might have another 2019-style run in them.

4. Baltimore-New York was a great series.

Good luck to all, but I'm really hoping my team wins.

Good series Matt. We got lucky.

We are in!

Great series Spectre.


We find the most interesting ways to lose a series every year. I mean I can't fault the decision by my manager bringing in RH Blick to face the RH lineup but NY gets 3 straight infield hits to start the rally and comeback to win. Can't help but wish Carrasco was brought in but thems the breaks.

Entertaining nonetheless.

Agreed, what an amazing series.

I thought we'd have a lot of trouble beating Baltimore in a three game set given their home field success. Ron Osborn hasn't been a good pitcher in the postseason and got lit up in Game 1, we didn't really have a chance. Game 2 was a classic game- we came down from a 5-3 deficit in the bottom of the 8th to take the lead. It was small ball to set up that lead- Gordie Gugliotta hit a sac fly off Monk to give us the lead after Jimmy Peller drove home 2 runs with a bases loaded single.

Game 3, though, was epic- we won because of my starting pitcher. He pitched 7 innings of 1 run ball which I usually expect. However, tied 1-1 at the top of the 8th inning my manager decided to let Ian Daley take a rip because he was cruising. Next thing you know, he hits a 414 foot homerun on an 0-2 count. Old man Fernando Ortiz then ripped a 2 run HR to give us a cushion as we wrapped up the series 5-2.

Next up, a tough series against Washington where we are definitely huge underdogs. The last two seasons have already been successes after years of futility so anything right now is gravy.

Why am I playing Toronto if the lowest remaining seed is Wilmington??

The teams don't re-seed. The #1 seed plays the winner of #4/#5.

Why?? The NFL is not like that.

I assume it's the OOTP default setting for playoffs.
