Smasher Dynamo
Oct 16, 2008

Eternal Commissioner of the Super League. A new avatar. A new age, of the same old embittered Smasher that failed to escape the bonds of the SL, FM3, Johnny Hopp and Eri Yoshida "The Knuckle Princess". "The flames of Smasher's ire scorch the skies... Igniting St. Bellhorn's funeral pyre."


Super-League XXX, Smasher League Divisional Series: Walney Rakers vs. Portland Panderers

: Given the import of the situation, the W's series will be going last this round, to build the drama.
: The W's aren't dead yet!
: And so, here we go on the other Smasher League Divisional Series.

: The following contest, scheduled for the best three out of five games, is a Smasher League Divisional Series. Introducing first, from Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, England, they really, really, really try, but it seems that the universe is just out to get them, the Walney Rakers! And their opponents, the wickedest team in all of the Super-League, they are the former two-time, two-time Super-League Champions of the World, owned by Pander, who has loudly declared that he has has the technical knowledge to build a nuclear device of unthinkable power, and is prepared to use should circumstances provide, the Portland Panderers!

: Smasher, no! That music is too evil!
: WE BOTH KNOW THAT PANDER IS AN ERNEST CLINE GUY! HIS BLACK HEART BEATS WITH THE DERIVATIVE FAUX-NEW WAVE BEAT OF VILLAINY!


Game 1: Walney Rakers @ Portland Panderers (Series Tied 0-0)



: Is Mike Stanton holding ginge's family hostage?
: In theory, you would trust Mike Stanton against an entire lineup made of nothing but left-handers. But ginge should probably stop doing that.


Game 2: Walney Rakers @ Portland Panderers (PAN Leads 1-0)



: Well, that made ginge's Game 1 bullpen meltdown seem harmless.
: The Rakers can rake. I'm not sure they're necessarily better against left-handed pitching, but it's not as though it's a big problem for them. They have a lot of right-handed bats, and their lefties, especially Boggs and Ted Williams, can still mash lefties. Plus, the Panderers only have one right-handed reliever. Once the Rakers blasted their way through him, it was a clear shot to the win.


Game 3: Portland Panderers @ Walney Rakers (Series Tied 1-1)



: With the bases loaded and two outs, with a one run lead, and with his 145th pitch of the game, Addie Joss induced a weak grounder from Eddie Collins, which Joss grabs and tosses to first for the final out.
: You did explain to ginge that it's not like soccer, and he has more than three substitutions for the game, right?
: I did. He asked 'what the bloody hell is 'soccer'?'
: Oh, right, they call it football.
: gently caress, that's right. I probably should try to explain it again. Maybe with puppets this time.


Game 4: Portland Panderers @ Walney Rakers (WAL Leads 2-1)



: I get that neither of these teams really cares about defense at all, but man, there are limits. And we'll go to Game Five a result
: Mike Stanton and bad defense are a toxic combination. And now the Rakers will have to win in Portland. But if they do win, they will make HulkaMatt seem like slightly less of a failure of an owner!


Game 5: Walney Rakers @ Portland Panderers (Series Tied 2-2)



: Dismal outing for the Panderers' offense.
: When you have no power hitters, you need to get hits in sequence. Jim Devlin was able to disperse nine hits in nine innings, and that's it.
: For those keeping track at home, the Panderers managed to get caught stealing six times without a single success. And given that they did lose a one-run game in a series they lost by one game? Not great. For that matter, they lost this game by three runs, and that's the exact same number of unearned runs they had in this game.


: And so the Rakers will move onto the Smasher League Championship Series, having defeated the top half of the Senor Goodtimes Division in sequence. Will they face the W's or Doom? We'll find out Saturday.
: The W's will win! Valima-
: UPDATE OVER!

Sub-Par League 18: Semi-Finals: Titanic Deck Chairs vs ENIX SLIMES


A disastrous 7th inning for the Deck Chairs allows the Slimes to come from behind and steal home-field advantage away.


Rube Waddell, having witnessed what happened to Pete Alexander, decides the best course of action is to simply not allow a run.


A disastrous 7th inning for the Deck Chairs allows the Slimes to come from behind an- wait a second. Anyways, Slimes lead 2-1.


It all falls apart for Kevin Brown in the 6th inning. 5 singles, two of them infield singles, and one wild pitch are all it takes for the Deck Chairs to take the lead and not look back. The series is now tied!



A 9th inning homerun for Ron Santo proves to be the difference maker as the Deck Chairs go ahead in the series. The Slimes had the tying run on 3rd with one out in the bottom of the inning but couldn't make anything happen as Roberto Clemente struck out and Tris Speaker flew out.


Warren Spahn did everything in his power to blow this game for the Slimes. Thankfully, they already had a big enough lead that it didn't matter. We go to Game 7! For the Deck Chairs it will be Old Hoss Radbourn! For the Slimes, it will be...Clayton Kershaw? Oh...oh no.

EXPANSION CUP APRIL UPDATE

Hey everyone in the EC, extremely sorry for the long delays. Been too busy winning the most games in the Sub-Par League and starting a new job and having to manually upload these screenshots one at a time. Since not everyone got in their logos in time, we don't have fancy banners for everyone. Also, some logos didn't quite show up when I put them in, and some (looking at you Dickshots) broke Mogul. I also, uh, forgot to turn off injuries. Apologies for that as well! I promise to do better, eventually.

Buntingville Bastards





RIP Paul Molitor. The linchpin of the team, clearly. Other than making Gorman Thomas your everyday CF, this team feels like it should be doing better than it is. But it is performing exactly to pythag right now, so, uh.

Center Line Sneki Sneks





This Babe Ruth fella might be good. Congrats to cbx for having the best team in April.

Centralia Corgies





If this team makes it to the EC finals, it'll be because of Ichiro. And to that I say: hell yeah.

Florida Dickshots





This filler team gets no comment!

Izzy's Onigiri Hedgehogs





Wow, I thought the Corgies' Ichiro was good. Easily the best-dressed team in the league. You can tell HulkaMatt helped out considering Rivera and how bad he's been.

San Lorenzo Bokonists





I was never a fan of the galaxy brain meme, and neither was mogul.

Seventh Sea Chancers





Look, I loved the concept of the team, but if you're going to randomize what players you use, it helps when your pool of players is small and full of quality, rather than a large pool of one-point feeders.

Stick Club Appellation Hither





Del Rice.

Suez Tugboats





Looking at this team and its collection of talent, I'd really think they should be doing better than .500. Sure, Drew Storen died after throwing 7 innings, but that shouldn't kill the rest of the team. Maybe its morale.

The Clown Team





The death of Lou Boudreau aside, I'm impressed this team is hovering around .500 with some guy named Ned Garver as its #3 starter. I realize now that I probably had to do something to fix Satchel Paige but uh that's a problem for future me if I'm the SubPar League runner.

Super-League XXX, Dynamo League Divisional Series: World Warriors vs. Raleigh Red Pandas


: Well, Yoshida, it's time for the ultimate showdown as two nearly identical teams vie to show which one is marginally superior to the other. The Red Pandas and the Warriors are the last two finalists coming out of the Dynamo League, and while both sucked and died against the W's in the finals, I suppose there's a chance that whoever wins this series may face a team other than the W's in the finals this time, and thus may actually be competitive.
: No, the W's are going to win!


: The following contest, scheduled for the best three of five games, is a Dynamo League Divisional Series. Introducing first, they are the very former Dynamo League Champions and the very, very former Tag Team Champions, one-half of perennial disappointment Goku, it's the World Warriors! And their opponent, from Raleigh, which is in NOOOOOOOOOOOOOORTH CAROLIIIIIIIIIIINA, the Raleigh Red Pandas!


Game 1: World Warriors @ Raleigh Red Pandas (Series Tied 0-0)



: The universe hates Yaya.
: The evidence really is piling up on that front.


Game 2: World Warriors @ Raleigh Red Pandas (RED Leads 1-0)



: You know what, I was wrong. EVERY universe hates Yaya.
: I hope that his team is granted a swift and merciful death.


Game 3: Raleigh Red Pandas @ World Warriors (RED Leads 2-0)



: One wonders if this is a dead cat bounce. After all, beating Roger Clemens has not historically been much of a feat in the Super-League.
: The Warriors can't afford to drop another game, and the People's Lefty is starting Game 4. It does not look good for them, but where there's hope-
: Where's hope? I forbid hope in my Super-League! If anyone out there sees any hope whatsoever, I demand you inform me immediately so it can be destroyed publicly so that all can learn that hope has no place in this league! NO PLACE!


Game 4: Raleigh Red Pandas @ World Warriors (RED Leads 2-1)



: Huh.
: That was not a great time for the People's Lefty to have his worst start of the season. Actually, it was the worst time possible.


Game 5: World Warriors @ Raleigh Red Pandas (Series Tied 2-2)



: Huh.
: Did...did the Warriors just come back from an 0-2 deficit to win the series?
: I guess they did. That sort of thing happens when your opponent only gets two hits in the deciding game.
: Good for Yaya! Even though it's literally impossible for any of his other sports teams to do well, it's nice to see that the Warriors did well!
: Yes...and their reward? An express flight to Towa City, where the air is thin in oxygen, yet thick with evil.
: Is the evil displacing the oxygen?
: Figuratively speaking.
: I believe in Yaya! But not quite enough to beat the Demon Hunters. Sorry, Yaya!

:siren: PAIR OF TRADES! :siren:

To be executed after the playoffs, so Smasher doesn't have to change any rosters.

First off:

The OKC Bombers acquire:

2011 Clayton Kershaw
1992 Larry Walker

The Glass Spiders acquire:

1962 Juan Marichal
1960 Ernie Banks
2002 John Smoltz
2018 Tyler Glasnow


And the second deal:


The World Warriors acquire:
2011 Clayton Kershaw

The OKC Bombers acquire:
1938 Arky Vaughan
1932 Bill Dickey


I believe that's all correct.

e: Second time's the charm. Now it's correct.

JUST PICK ONE. ANY ONE.
Expansion Cup May

Buntingville Bastards





Expertly playing three games below pythag to get a better pick right now.

Center Line Sneki Sneks





Babe Ruth can only do so much with this pitching staff.

Centralia Corgies





Ichiro regressing? No. Nooooooooooooooooo!

Florida Dickshots





Glad to see filler teams in last place.

Izzy's Onigiri Hedgehogs





"Mamma mia" - HulkaMatt, on Mariano Rivera's performance.

San Lorenzo Bokononists





When your 2-3-4 hitters all have an OBP above .415, you're going to do pretty well.

Seventh Sea Chancers





If nothing else, this team may have convinced some people to look into Steve Sparks and Pete Cassidy.

Stick Club Appellation Hither





Hardy Richardson might not actually know which Stick game he's supposed to be playing. .909 is fine for a backup NHL goaltender, not a 2B.

Suez Tugboats





Yeah, that's closer to where I thought this team should be in the standings. Mike Piazza seems pretty good!

The Clown Team





Ted Williams is doing everything he can to save this team. And, hell, he's doing a pretty good job at it.

Sub-Par League 18: Gauntlet Round 1
I hate running the Gauntlet. Setting up save files is far and away the most tedious thing about running the league and you do it like, 6 times with the Gauntlet. It sucks.




Yes, Moleboy. It was the bullpens' fault. I'm sorry it went down like this and I hope you come back. Pedro was your best pitcher if it's any consolation!

Super-League XXX, Smasher League Divisional Series: Khartoum Doom vs. South Bolton Eazy W's

: Big day today, as it is a career-threatening series for the W's and-
: Hey, Smasher! Did I tell you! I met a girl, and she has a cat, and a boat, and she offered to take us to a magic door with her boat once the series is over!
: What?
: There she is! Hey, Stella!



: What?!
: She's not much of a talker.
: Let's just get on with the games.


: The following contest, scheduled for the best three of five games, is a Smasher League Divisional Series, and it is also a CAREER-THREATENING SERIES! If the W's lose, they must immediately retire. Introducing first, from Khartoum, Sudan, the team of Slug Lyfe, they are the Super-League XXX Mark Bellhorn Division Champions, the Khartoum Doom! And their opponents, in what may be their final set of games, they are the five-time reigning and defending Super-League Champions of the world, and the Team Eternal! From Bolton, Lancashire, England, your South Bolton Eazy W's!


Game 1: Khartoum Doom @ South Bolton Eazy W's (Series Tied 0-0)



: Easy enough.
: We're going to live! HOORAY!

Game 2: Khartoum Doom @ South Bolton Eazy W's (SLA Leads 1-0)



: And the W's are one win away from wrapping things up.
: Waddell did well, but the Doom just could not solve Cy Young.

Game 3: South Bolton Eazy W's @ Khartoum Doom (SLA Leads 2-0)



: Okay, fine, I'll stop trying to make Randy Johnson happen.
: Oh, no! Are the Doom about to come back?
: They're a team built on left-handed power, and Steves Carlton will be starting the remaining games of the series, so no, I think not.
: Is this one of those times where your self-confidence will be our undoing?


Game 4: South Bolton Eazy W's @ Khartoum Doom (SLA Leads 2-1)



: No. No, it will not.
: Oh. Then I guess it's on to Barrow, for one last North England Derby.


: In any event, thanks to the passage of time, I can now summon Wanderlei Bolton from his slumber. Let ginge tremble.
: I'm never going to get that boat ride.

One of you may win the Super-League Championship, assuming the W's don't crush two out of the three of you once more. Do any of you want to see your team reduced to ash against the Macho Men?[/b]

Despair will never let you down.
Malice will never disappoint you.



Let's make sure we get the two liveball pitchers to play at the Warriors.

Rotation:

SP1: Lower ERA Bobby Mathews
SP2: Higher ERA Bobby Mathews
SP3: Roy Halladay
SP4: Juan Marichal

Set the next starter to be Lower ERA Bobby Mathews, the SP1.

EDIT: Oh, and should by some miracle this team win the SL, then yes, I want to face the Macho Men. I don't think I have a lot of upwards potential with this team, so I don't think I need to extend its lifespan further.

Well, Chippy is already my favourite character!


Set up the rotation as follows (which Joss is which doesn't matter, SP1 Joss starts game one):

SP1 Joss
SP2 Vance
SP3 Devlin
SP4 Joss

And the Rakers will accept the Macho Men's challenge should they win the finals.

Feel these are my two best options to pitch at Towa City.

Game 1: Stephen Strasburg
Game 2: Rube Waddell
Game 3: Clayton Kershaw
Game 4: Cole Hamels
Mopup: Madison Bumgarner

Tim Raines becomes full-time LF. Paul Waner becomes full-time RF. Raines #1 in both lineups, Waner #6.

Also, the Warriors, as always, accept the Macho Man challenge.

JUST PICK ONE. ANY ONE.
Expansion Cup June

Please ignore all the random players in your minor league. I didn't know I had to turn off the draft.

Buntingville Bastards






Your team is great at run prevention, both for yourself and for others.

Center Line Sneki Sneks






This team probably easily makes it to the EC Finals with a slightly better and less injured pitching staff.

Centralia Corgies






Ichiro's bat may have cooled off but at least his glove didn't!

Florida Dickshots






Pass.

Izzy's Onigiri Hedgehogs






Ideally you don't lose a game to the Chancers, but right in the thick of the chase.

San Lorenzo Bokononists






Craig Baddgio

Seventh Sea Chancers






Whitey Herzog insists that McFarland gets his job back.

Stick Club Appellation Hither






Dan Brouthers can only do so much. Hitting like Babe Ruth but the team's in the cellar.

Suez Tugboats






7 games against the Chancers, 7 wins, and that's why you're in first.

The Clown Team






It's just weird to me that Ted Williams always ends up on bad teams but Babe Ruth doesn't.
