Leave Sloan (4.58 ERA, 1.38 WHIP) and Lewis (3.65 ERA, 1.53 WHIP) as closer and primary setup, miss playoffs by one game

Same, these 2 or 3 week injuries suck.

Wild Card Round
Richmond vs Toronto
3-2
OConnor injury, Aces experiences too much to overcome. This one goes the distance anyway as the Aces' pitching keeps the Greeks dream alive

Tampa vs Winterfell
3-0
Direwolves have the edge in form (41-26 Post ASB) and in tight games (33-17 in 1 run), and injuries have sank Terror's odds

Hillsboro vs Alabama
3-2
Fun facts, 100% of Hillsboro lineup has 15 or more HR, 67% have 20 or more! Pitching wins titles however and Alabama has the better form of late as well

Port Orange vs Orange County
3-1
Hawks are an exciting team in years to come, but the Ducks' dominant pitching and second half surge quash an earlier than expected rise

Think Winterfell and myself can potentially spoil higher seed teams' plans from this group

I agree with all of those except maybe the Toronto series.

Having to possibly face Oliver twice and the way Yuri has been pitching they are tough to beat right now. Toronto doesn't have the rotation depth and prowess as they have had in years past as their offense is their strength and Richmond can possibly neutralize that.

Excited for PO and Richmond turning the corner on their rebuilds and Hillsboro with back to back postseason berths after having only 2 in their history prior to that.

Boston rides into the postseason on a 10 game winning streak but lost our starting 2B to a torn ankle ligament and our slick hitting backup C due to a kidney transplant.

Rotation set with 3 of them being lefties again and the 2 young studs in Hoffman and Bryan getting the nod in the 1/2 position.

Time for Denson/Campbell to pass that torch!!

In more Boston fun facts, Mike Hoffman is 70-10 in his career.

we don't count the irrelevant Richmond year

Hoping Morris and Lopez can carry the momentum and get us at least 1 win, guarantee me 2 home games. If we can take 1 of the first 2 I have confidence we can push it to 5 and at that point, anything can happen

Tampa lost Cusack, Fuji, Garang, and Hollon in the course of 1 month it seems.

To come back after Sheltown kicked them out of the Wild Card race is impressive even though Tampa owes Miami and NE a fruit basket for their efforts against the Shockers.

With the final wild card locked up and virtually no chance of overtaking Hillsboro, the Hawks decided to pitch Lou and Perez in the final two games of the season meaning they won't be available until game 3 and 4 most likely

He was on vacation and we did discuss roster specifics and I think without trying to make me handle too much for him and being a gentleman, there was a "let it ride" in there.

Miami takes 2 of 3 from the Shockers and they miss the playoffs by a game...somewhere Nick is furiously generating photoshopped jabs

I'll throw game 1 for him being a gentlemen

AL MVP race:
Todd
O'Connor

Tyrone Hawks

Todd finished .13 points behind the greatest WAR season of all time which has been held since 2022 by Big Cheese.

Rodriguez 11.6
AA 11.55 2037
Rodriguez 11.45 2019
Todd 11.43

Pass that trophy from Taylor's locker to Todd's.

Tampa acquired Mejia and Aviles, put them in setup (not middle relief) and made the playoffs as a result

They took 1 of 3.

I noticed if you go to the website, you can see the old WAR numbers we were used to.

Big Cheese and his 14.7 WAR here:

I agree with all Webs predictions but I think the Greeks get it done in round 1. I think my pitching can hold his offense down a little and we can overcome the O'Connor injury. Either way making playoffs was a year ahead of schedule and there will be no disappointment when we do get eliminated.

11.6 - 11.43= .13?????????

His top in game season is 11.56, typo.

But as Shel pointed out and we have talked about before the in game stats aren't the real stats as he had a couple 14 WAR seasons.
