He was 2nd on my team in HR and RBI to Khris Davis.triple crown?
4-8In the AL, DOSO stoned my Pelicans 3 games to none. DOSO got revenge on the Pels, who had gone 8-4 in the season series -- including two series sweeps of DOSO after the All-Star Break. Three low-scoring competitive games in the divisional series -- Kenley Jansen blew a save in Game 1, and my bats never got into gear.
PAs aren't even the issue. It'd be IPs.Still don't like the supplemental pick thing, defeats the whole purpose of what we're doing. I deserve what I get picking Rodon, Smyly, and Ryu as my 3-4-5 starters; I don't deserve to be bailed out by supplemental picks just because I sucked IMO. If we were to do something I think that Kraft's idea would be the only fair way. Obviously I'll go with w/e the majority wants though.
Don't like the DH thing either. That just creates more opportunity for being short on PA's. You'd be crazy to not pick the non-DH, leading to a ton of teams being stuck finding an extra 600 PA's or so.
If it's Oso vs. Doso finals, I wonder who he'll root for.
doubtful. oso tremendo has overachieved all season. Koya's team is really strong.@oso diablo is gonna have 2 teams in the World Series, isn't he?
Yeah ... forget the exact number of that WIS rendition (WIS XIV?). I remember it was early 2011 and it was the All Rookies theme.btw, didn't dougb have both teams in a WS once?
Hill will have a relatively quick hook this afternoon. Lined up behind him are Jon Lester as 1st guy out of the pen. Betances and Kimbrel as the short guys. And Cody Allen as the closer.Was down 3-0, Now 3-3
Unfortunately, I have 96% Aaron Sanchez going against a fully rested Rich Hill and his playoff 1.29 ERA.
Yes ... all World Series participants get into a TOC, whether or not they win their World Series.so DOSO got put into a tournament of champions already. is that normal?
what i meant by "already" is that the TOC games are already starting, running concurrently with our World Series. that's the part i thought was weird.so DOSO got put into a tournament of champions already. is that normal?
bull####. Koya just got to play in the inferior league2 best teams in the finals. Good luck, boys.
Hmmm ... that does seem different.what i meant by "already" is that the TOC games are already starting, running concurrently with our World Series. that's the part i thought was weird.
He actually beat the team that beat me in the semi Finals. Loaded with dead ball pitcher IIRCYes ... all World Series participants get into a TOC, whether or not they win their World Series.
IIRC, Doctor Detroit once lost one of the FBG World Series, got put into a WIS Tournament of Champions, and then went on to win that TOC. That's actually a big accomplishment, because our squads get lumped in with bigger-dollar teams ... so we're competing against teams with four Babe Ruths and three Barry Bonds, top deadball starters w/dupes, Mariano and Eck in the same bullpen, etc.
Thanks. First one of these i've ever won.Congrats Oso! Best team won in the end. Well done.
Winning these things is a lot more satisfying than people expect. WIS has its warts, but it does a great pacing job with the slow build of a champion over 162 games + playoffs.Thanks. First one of these i've ever won.
Finally!
My favorite part of reading the boxscore for the bolded was that inexplicably WIS had Carlos Gomez tag up at 2B in this situation and almost get thrown out at 3B to end the game.what an epic Game 6
besides what dougb already described, this game saw...
Emptied the bench and the bullpen on this one.
- Rich Hill gets tagged for 4 runs in the top of the 1st, with only one ball hit out of the infield (and only two hits of any sort, one of which is by Jake Arrieta)
- Side note - Koya has his pitcher hitting 8th
- Brandon Belt, who hit 301/425/538 in the regular season, goes 0-7 with 5 strikeouts
- Both teams used 9 pitchers (my bullpen is shot for game 7)
- Betances strikes out the side in the 7th but gives up a HR to give GCU a 5-2 lead
- DOSO ties it up in the bottom of the 7th
- Cody Allen strikes out the side in the 9th but gives up a HR to give GCU a 6-5 lead going into the bottom of the 9th
- GCU's stud closer Mark Melancon comes on to close out the World Series, but loads the bases on 2 singles and a HBP (with one out)
- Carlos Hernandez (traded by koya to oso) skies one to deep CF. Back, back, back... CF Jay Bruce (side note: CF Jay Bruce?) is on the warning track... and he makes the catch! But Yadier Molina tags from 3rd to tie the game and send us into extras
- Both teams bring in SPs to start the 10th - Jake Odorrizi for DOSO and Joe Ross for GCU
- in the 11th, GCU loads the bases with nobody out, but Cespedes pops up in the infield, Encarnacion strikes out, and Bruce strikes out. It's the sort of inning that can haunt a franchise for a long time. We'll see...
goodness! didn't even think about that.My favorite part of reading the boxscore for the bolded was that inexplicably WIS had Carlos Gomez tag up at 2B in this situation and almost get thrown out at 3B to end the game.
They may have changed something ... used to take a long time, sometimes months, for certain TOCs to fill with high-salary teams (which the FBG teams always are). Do you see evidence that there are $80-million teams in your TOC? Maybe their mixing everything together to get more immediately-filled TOC brackets.i thought i had played in one of these TOCs before, but i don't remember it being like this.
it says it's a $90mm league. The salaries by team range from $75mm to $89mm (i'm at $88mm)They may have changed something ... used to take a long time, sometimes months, for certain TOCs to fill with high-salary teams (which the FBG teams always are).
