If I could receive official confirmation on whether Clown Fundamentals is killing his EC team or not, that'd be nice. If the team is being dispersed, this would be the final round of the Gauntlet.

I'm not sure why the "Use same lineup vs. lefty and righty pitchers" box is still checked off when I have two different lineups depending. Could just be be unsure of how the program works

Don May, August 4, 2011 posted:SIX ERRORS SINK W'S, BOBBLEHEADS WIN 12-6 ...roughly ten years later...  Super-League XXX, Finals: South Bolton Eazy W's vs. Towa City Demon Hunters  : Yoshida, I don't think I need to remind you of the stakes of this series. : That's right! It's the W's last ride! Can we go out as champions?: What? Oh, yeah, great. No, more importantly, if the W's win, I don't have do a Macho Man series. That's the real prize.: The following contest, scheduled for the best of seven games, is for the SUPER-LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE WORLD! Introducing first, the challengers, from Towa City, which I presume is in Japan, they are the Dynamo League Champions, the fomenters of sorrow, the Towa City Demon Hunters! And their opponents, in their final series, they are the five-time reigning and defending Super-League Champions of the World, from Bolton, Lancashire, England, they are...were the Team Eternal of the Super-League, introducing, for the last time, the South Bolton Eazy W's!Game 1: South Bolton Eazy W's @ Towa City Demon Hunters (Series Tied 0-0)  : To be clear, there is no good way to deal with the Demon Hunters in Towa City. There is a powerful synergy between the roster and the engineering of the stadium. I'm not going in here and expecting my deadballers to win most of the time. I just need one win, and then hold on in Bolton.: Is there a better way to contain the Demon Hunters?: Theoretically, a high-strikeout right-hander can feast on the fact that a lot of the Demon Hunters' players will swing and miss a fair amount. On the other hand, just like in real life, striking a guy out doesn't do you much good if he hits a dinger the next at-bat. Deadballers try and take advantage of the fact that they can keep the ball in the park. But, as seen in this game, it's not a perfect solution. Game 2: South Bolton Eazy W's @ Towa City Demon Hunters (TOW Leads 1-0)  : But hell, sometimes it works.: Not great hitting from the W's, though.: That's true, the Demon Hunters had more baserunners. But, you know what, you take the wins where you can find them. The fact that Pete Alexander only gave up one run meant that even a very bad offensive performance from the W's was survivable. And now, we just have to hold serve in Bolton. WANDERLEI, THE SINISTER KNIGHT, RISE!Game 3: Towa City Demon Hunters @ South Bolton Eazy W's (Series Tied 1-1)  : We're on track.: 168 pitches for Wanderlei?: The W's have no tomorrows, and we have plenty of duct tape to fix his arm.: But the reactor on his arm is leaking!: Don't worry, it's a Tokamak reactor, it just stops working if it's disrupted, it doesn't melt down. Game 4: Towa City Demon Hunters @ South Bolton Eazy W's (SLA Leads 2-1)  : Oh, gently caress.: OH NO!: And now the Demon Hunters have home-field advantage again. I don't know why I left Steve Carlton in the rotation. A left-hander facing that lineup? It was foolish of me, and it showed a true lack of imagination, and it might just cost the W's this series.: Well, Smasher, you can't blame yourself.: I decided who would pitch for the W's, and am more aware of how pitching in the Super-League works than literally anyone else on the planet. So, yes, I really can. If this whole thing gets botched because I made a mistake, I really don't want to deal with it. I can't deal with it.Game 5: Towa City Demon Hunters @ South Bolton Eazy W's (Series Tied 2-2)  : A win, but not one that does me much good. I still need one more win in Towa City.: By the way, what is Towa City a reference to?: As a matter of principle, I refuse to look it up.Game 6: South Bolton Eazy W's @ Towa City Demon Hunters (SLA Leads 3-2)  : From a purely practical perspective, have my deadballers go 1-2 in Towa City is still acceptable. Sort of. Kind of. Kids, don't count on winning a lot of games in Towa City.: But we still have to win one more!: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTka-Bi7l3A]To me, Wanderlei, one last time[url]! DEATH OR GLORY! ...no, wait...DEATH AND GLORY!Game 7: South Bolton Eazy W's @ Towa City Demon Hunters (Series Tied 3-3)  : It's over! The W's win! In their final game of existence, the W's win!: TheMcD should have known that Jeff Kent and Jonathan Papelbon would never lead him to happiness. But what happens now? : Who can say what the future holds? Maybe the Demon Hunters will thrive in a league where the W's no longer stand in their way. Perhaps the Rakers will finally take their place among the elite. It's even possible that the Generics actually finish well above .500.: Really?: Yes, Yoshida. The future is unwritten. Granted, I'm not thrilled that I'll have to write about it when it becomes the present, but until then, the possibilities are endless. And that's all I really want to say right now. It has been, as always, a very long season. So, one last time, glory to the W's, and may they rest in peace.

Now that the season is over, I have an announcement to make. It has come to my attention that my team’s name might be considered problematic. As such, they will now be referred to as the Winnipeg Baseball Team, Est. 2014.

Expansion Cup September The final regular season update for the EC is here. Buntingville Bastards     You have a decent team that got better as time went on. Hope for better luck in the Sub-Par with your actual name. Center Line Sneki Sneks     Congrats! Your hitting definitely carried you, so, if you win the finals, get a good pitcher. Centralia Corgies     Ichiro with the lowest OBA in the lineup sunk this team? No, that can't be right. I refuse to believe it. Florida Dickshots     Nice. Izzy's Onigiri Hedgehogs     Agonizingly close. Even a perfect final week couldn't get you 2nd. San Lorenzo Bokononists     Tank better next time! Seventh Sea Chancers     George Kell is probably the only person to keep from this mess. I'd track down TheMcD's attempt at making a good roster out of your feeders, and start there. Stick Club Appellation Hither     As this team learned what stick club game they were signed up for, they got better and better at baseball. Hope they understand what it is for when the Sub-Par season starts. Suez Tugboats     A really good team whose biggest hole is at owner. I don't think I've seen Chamale post in an SL context after making the roster in the signup thread, nor did they join the Discord. The Clown Team     Hope you feel well enough to join us again, one day, CF.  Congrats to cbx and Chamale. I'd like to run the finals on Monday, so if you can get your rosters in by the end of this weekend, I'd be able to do so. It'll be a 7 game series with everyone available since I didn't set up the playoffs correctly before starting the EC. The stakes: winner gets automatic promotion to the Super League, and a prize player.

Expansion Cup Finals With both the lame Super League finals and Sub Par Bowl out of the way, we can get down to the series everyone came here for. It's the Expansion Cup Finals! In one corner, we have a longtime suffering Super League owner that's also a longtime suffering Detroit Tigers fan. Instead of embracing his city's love of the big cat, this time cbx went for the small, cute Sneki Snek, and has seen his team demolished the hell out of the baseball on his way to a second-place finish in the EC. Despite finishing second, because I didn't set up the original save file correctly and had to redo a four team league, the Center Line Sneki Sneks will have home field advantage for this series. Sorry! In the other corner, we have a new owner that has cruised through the entirety of the EC as the clear best team in the league, even though the name of the Suez Tugboats would suggest the exact opposite. It's really rare to see an EC team with so few holes. Yes, the bullpen is sketchy, but every one of the players on the starting lineup and rotation have all seen moderate-to-heavy Super League success. The Tugboats won the EC division by eight games, but their pythag record says they could've easily won by 10+. They are the favorites in this series.  The Sneks strike ace Walter Johnson early for three runs, and the Sneks just barely hang on. The Tugboats did hit three homeruns, and only gave up two extra basehits, both doubles, so they have some positives to hang their hats on in this close loss.  The Tugboats are clinging on to a 6-4 lead going into the bottom of the ninth, and they immediately walk Charlie Gehringer to bring up Babe Ruth with the game-tying run on his stick. That's less than ideal. Also less than ideal is sending out Kevin Brown to face Ruth. Yet the crazy plan works, and Ruth goes down swinging. But the game's not over, and Brown walks Larry Walker to bring the winning run to the plate and only one out. And Mickey Cochrane is an absolute threat. Brown gets away with his blunder by getting Cochrane to hit into a double play, and the Tugboats even the series as it goes to Suez.  Game 3 shows why people in the SL still believe in Pedro. He pitches an absolute gem of a game, throwing 13 Ks and giving up three hits and no runs to the dynamic Snek offense. Yet the Mogul Manager pulls him for Brown in the 9th because he's thrown 120 pitches in 8 innings. Brown immediately gives up a double to Cochrane and again gives Babe Ruth the opportunity to tie the game. And again he gets Ruth out--this time on a lineout on a 2-0 count. Hank Greenberg hits a single to make it runners at the corners with one out, but Brown gets a huge strikeout of Larry Walker to put the Sneks to their final out. Charlie Gehringer hits a single to right to make it 2-1 and give the Sneks life. Gehringer then takes away said life by getting caught stealing second to end the game, and Kevin Brown is bailed out yet again as the Tugboats win the game 2-1, and lead the series 2-1.  Curt Schilling gets a loving easy 9-2 win for the Tugboats? Goddammit, Smasher's gonna have my head for this one. The Tugboats hit 6 home runs off of cbx's Pedro who just did not get the same flyout luck that the Tugboats' Pedro had in game 3. This makes it a 3-1 series lead for the Tugboats, and they still have game 5 at home where they should look to finish off the Sneks.  Game 5 pits Walter Johnson vs. Elden Auker. I'm sure Auker was a nice man who could really toss the ol' baseball in his day, but that is an absolute mismatch, and does not bode well for the Sneks. The Sneks have a great chance to jump all over Johnson in the 1st when they load the bases with nobody out, but fail to score more than one run, and Johnson does his job the rest of the way as the Tugboat offense slowly pulls away. Larry Walker's three-run homerun in the bottom of the 8th made it 8-2, and Rod Beck finished off the Sneks easily to win the series, and Expansion Cup Finals. Congrats to Chamale for winning the EC! You'll be promoted to the Super League right away, and will receive a special prize player! But you only get those things if you post in this thread!!!!!!
