Snapshots will only be provided. Stats requires too much work and time since that would require filling out the lineup cards on an app I have and then scoring all the games. I'll shoot through this tournament today.
SP#1 and SP#2 will rotate each game.
Good luck gentlemen.

Nomaaa's Rock City Diplomats quickly dismantled the Easy Listeners. Clemens had a tough outing.
Get hype
Big first inning. The Empire jumped on Cox and then the Tulsa Pinkmen jumped even more on Morris in the first inning (13 runs). The Pinkmen kept the sticks going while Cox held the Empire and the game resulted in a mercy rule.
The tournament's first close game! GDavis & Friends bullpen got it done. McLane's Ass Full of Shit's bottom of the lineup couldn't get it done against Franco.
The Canadian Shooties mysteriously went silent in the top of the 9th. Righti of the Reds' Seymour Chili's pitched a perfect 9th.
Updated bracket.
Let's see who'll climb out of the loser's bracket.
It was a pitching duel until the 8th. The Easy Listeners took a 5-4 lead into the 8th and then the Empire erupted for 8 runs fueled by 2 shots in the inning by Donny Baseball. Morris held the lead for the rest of the way. Sabrhgn and Sutton pitched brilliantly for the first four innings.
Tempo's Easy Listeners are eliminated and the Empire moves on in the loser's bracket.
The Canadian Shooties made quick work of McLanes Ass Full of Shit. M.Scott pitched a flawless 3 innings and only allowed 3 hits while Krukow was torched for 10 runs in 3 innings.

Good stuff - did NoRyan go the distance?
For being the Tulsa Pinkmen, my team looks awfully purple.

Thanks. No, NoRyan pitched his four and then Witt pitched his four. All your pitchers were used in your first game since the game was tight.

Maybe Fighton can find a better lavender with his color sight, but that was the closest I can find. These colors aren't official since Fighton will ultimately create the season roms.
Okay, time to continue with the tournament.
Losers Bracket Elimination
Up 17-16, the Canadian Shooties got a 2-run towering shot by McGwir in the top of the 9th to give the Shooties a 19-16 lead and Orosco took care of the rest with a scoreless bottom half of the 9th.
In the bottom of the 8th and the Tulsa Pinkmen trailing 17-16 with two outs, Hrndez got Franco to fly out with the tying run on third to end the threat.
Both teams exploded for 6 runs in the first inning to the delight of the tournament spectators. The Shooties built a 13-8 lead after four and kept enough distance for the rest of the game.

The Empire advance in the Losers Bracket Elimination and will face the Canadian Shooties. The Seymour Chili's are eliminated and managed to ignore the players of Darkside's Empire the entire match!

I picked the brownest brown on Nightwulf's RBI editor and made the skin a lighter brown. Most colors rarely match what comes out in the field. It's weird. Here is what I was working with and what Fighton will work with.
And the tournament bracket updated.
Winners Bracket
GDavis & Friends cruised to a 23-16 victory over the Rock City Diplomats and are now one game away from the tournament final.
Cansco blasted a first inning grand slam to aid GDavis & Friends to a 7-0 lead. Cansco went 5-5 with three HR's and 11 RBI to lead the offensive carnage. N.Ryan pitched a complete game for the win. Both teams combined for 9 errors.
Losers Bracket
Down 13-5 to FRBI V WS champions Empire and season IV/VI finalists, the Canadian Shooties erupted for 9 runs ignited by a Brnsky grand slam in the 6th inning to give the Canadian Shooties a 14-13 lead. The Empire scored one in the bottom half of the 6th to even the contest at 14-14. From there, the Canadian Shooties out-muscled the Empire by outscoring them 9-2 in the final 3 innings for a 23-16 win. Gooden relived M.Scott and pitched the final 5 innings to pick up the win.
The Canadian Shooties will now face the Rock City Diplomats in the final game of the Losers Bracket.
Losers Bracket
In the final game of the losers bracket and with a ticket to the Dee Nee Preseason Summer Tournament final, the Canadian Shooties out-homered the Rock City Diplomats for a 29-20 victory.
Down 18-10 in the bottom of the sixth, Rock City scored 4 to narrow the game 18-14. Eventually, they hung in until the 9th with the score sitting tight in favor of the Shooties, 22-20. In the top of the 9th, Dyksra pinch hit for a homerun that started a string of 4 consecutive homeruns. The Shooties added another to distance themselves from Rock City, 29-20. Orosco pitched a 1-2-3 ninth and now the Shooties find themselves in the final needing 2 victories against GDavis & Friends for the championship.

Bracket updated.
Fantasy RBI Season VII Dee Nee Preseason Summer Tournament Finals
The Canadian Shooties, who lost the first game of the tournament and worked their way to the tournament final, have now forced a second and final game of the tournament championship with a 21-18 victory.
Two crucial errors by GDavis & Friends led to 6 runs in the 5th inning. Those two errors proved to be significant and changed the momentum of the game. Down 21-14 in the final frame, GDavis & Friends clawed their way back to within 3 runs, but Orosco finally put an end to the final surge.
The championship final will see both SP #1's get the start. The Shooties have now won 5 straight to force this winner take all championship final.
SHOOTIES!
Fantasy RBI Season VII Dee Nee Preseason Summer Tournament Championship Final
In a surprisingly low scoring championship final game, closer Orosco protected a 1-run lead in the bottom of the 9th to give the Canadian Shooties their 6th straight win and the Dee Nee Preseason Summer Tournament championship! The lead exchanged several times that made for a very exciting tournament final.
With the preseason tournament final in the books, all team owners will now take their teams for a fresh new start for FRBI season VII. The Canadian Shooties will be heavy favorites to win season VII as Shooty looks for his first FRBI league title. However, as FRBI history has shown, nothing is a sure thing in this league.
Brnsky was named tournament MVP.
Where can I get my Shooties gear for the season?
Duty free shop.
dipset holla!
I hope GDavis realized what he was getting into by teaming up with me - I think I'm a three or four-time FRBI runner-up.
Why did you change the lineup from what I posted? I think that's what lead to our downfall.

I didn't see the post where you posted the lineup, so I just assumed you'd forgotten.
On the plus side, as lifelong Bills and Vikings fans, you and I should be good with handling crushing sports disappointment.
Darky....did you witness any surprise performances by any players in the tournament. Either good or bad?

Whitkr was a big letdown. He'll get some hits and an occasional HR, but he's not consistent as Herr or Doran. Herr and Doran are consistent every game with at least 2-3 bleeding hits that result in triples. Plus, they'll hit an occasional HR. I noticed that kind of production from lower tier power guys, but with higher contact and speed ratings. Barret gave me superb production in season V when the Empire won it all. I had him platoon with O.Smith. Anyways, Herr and Doran excel at hitting bleeding groundballs that end up in triple or doubles. Both are clearly more productive than Whitkr. I chanced on Whitkr and now I regret that.
Brenly and Heath both surprised me with their pop - they hit more HR's than I thought they would.
Backmn was not an easy out at all. He seemed to get his 2 hits a game for Reds. Reynlds who has never started in a Fantasy league wasn't that bad. He seemed to get hits half the time.
And Hndrk, Hndrsn, and Schlfld are much better than I remember. They thrive in the hitting spots they are in and none of them will go hitless in a game.
And to no surprise, Reggie Jackson just doesn't hit big consistently as the other guys near his power. It's weird.
McGwire is easily the most consistent along with Bell and Dawson.
I'll continue more in a bit. Gotta go for a walk with a teen here at work.

Hmm maybe I never posted it. I'd swap Canseco and Gaetti.
