Goodness no, now that wouldn't do at all!

Saintonan please tell me you're as hyped for this series as I am.

+ it's a little amplified because there's a very real chance this is Alex Ransom's farewell tour with Salem when he was the first guy I drafted after taking over this franchise

Sadly I lose all tiebreakers that don't involve Buffalo, so I have to finish ahead of both you and Anaheim. Makes it more of a longshot to make the playoffs, but 90 wins isn't a bad season. Should be a fun next couple of days.

The head-to head is 4-3 between us right now so you can still have the tiebreaker there

Only if I sweep you, in which case I'm probably finishing ahead of you. If we end up 5-5 and we end up tied at the end, you'll have a better division record, which is the second tiebreaker.

Oh, there's plenty of other balls in the sea. Plus, you're not very talented.
We still have a real, albeit slim, chance at a 5-way tie for both NL WC spots. Make it happen, guys.

There's still a chance for a tie if you win out and I lose out.

My team is skidding into the playoffs, but I've been resting everyone to make sure all my starters are at 100%. Here's to hoping that fake baseball momentum isn't a thing.

In the end, it comes down to throwing one pitch after another, and seeing what happens. With each new consequence, the game begins to take shape.
And that's the last AL playoff spot wrapped up. Good luck Tavarin

So here is my offense for the season. I can't wait to get a real SS and CF to make the a real powerhouse. Santo Park was a good pickup, Tony Feliz did pretty well for a rookie, Isaac Sanders was pretty good, and Weinhardt was awesome. Sadly, Yasiel took a huge step back this year, but at least he can get on base pretty well.



Not even going to bother showing the shitshow that was my pitching :v:

You need a CF, Art? I remember trying to trade people Alan Hayes for like 2 seasons. He only hit 41HR and drove in 102RBI.

Abernathy missed over a month, or he'd have even better numbers. This is what I hope to run out for the next 10ish seasons. :black101:

This is how it feels to make the playoffs:

I'm too lazy to double-check this, but I'm pretty sure this is like the 5th team in world history to miss the playoffs with 93 or more wins. I remember this because I looked it up in S23 when my 93-win team missed the playoffs.

Salem next season is going to be some end of The Wild Bunch poo poo.

I missed two years ago with 93 wins. I'm pretty sure when Jeff and Scotos were good some teams for left out too.

This season didn't go as I hoped going into it but I'm largely happy with how everything panned out. As constructed that team was going to be stuck as a second place team in a bad division with no real money budging room so I'm happy to retool and get some nice close to the majors talent in Zornes and Bolton. Here's to another good year next year.
