DEFINITELY rooting for the underdogs in these two.
CHANNEL FUCKING 62
No changes
I'll post just before I air live and drop the Twitch link again. The broadcast will begin 30 minutes earlier (3:30pm dee nee time) for a little pregame action where I'll recap the season and playoffs.
Going live in five - 30 minutes of pregame before we get the FRBI Super League LCS going!
Here's the live broadcast: https://www.twitch.tv/ynot333
Thrillers - down to the wire! The speed of the game for some reason slowed down when i uploaded to YouTube. I'll have to look into this. The game went live on Twitch with the normal faster speed that usually takes 10 minutes. The update on my emulator changed the recording format. Again, will try and fix.
*UPDATE* Okay, forgot about the Windows+G shortcut to record games from Windows. Problem fixed which means the rest of the YT videos will happen in the normal faster speed which usually takes 10 minutes. Also, you can set the playback speed higher in the settings menu on the in the YT video.
The Beefy Masters and Channel 62 game got cut off right after the 8th. So if you missed the action and can't bear the slow pace of the YT recordings, you can catch the speedier version here, but the dramatic 9th inning to the Beef-Ch.62 game is not in it: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/895977804

hell yea boys we are back
BB Kings get Winfield ph go-ahead HR and lights out pitching from Dizzy Dean in the 9th to capture game 1 of the LCS.
Dave Winfield came off the bench and finally shedded his "Mr. May" label by delivering the go-ahead homerun on a 0-2 count in the bottom of the 8th inning. In the top of the 9th,"Dizzy" Dean pitched a perfect inning by recording 3 outs on 3 pitches as nomaaa's BB Kings take game 1 of the LCS in an exciting thriller. Game 2 will broadcast live today at 3pm Dee Nee time via Twitch.
Winfield fouled-off 3 balls with 2 strikes on him before he finally measured up the Rocket's sizzling fastball. Mike Schmidt led all hitters with 5 hits and ole Bob Brenly led all hitters with two homeruns from the 8-hole. Surprisingly and unfortunately, Hack Wilson only managed two hits and zero homeruns for Tropicana. Hack, who was the Div. MVP, had 13 homeruns during the Divisional playoffs and has a HR average of 2 per game in the playoffs dating back to the Arcade League when he helped lead the Empire to a title with his hitting terror. If Hack Wilson doesn't get going soon, the series may be over fast because the BB Kings are deep in pitching and hitting.
BeefyMasters blow early lead, then stage comeback win capped by Brian Downing's Walk-Off HR to capture game 1 victory
The BeefyMasters raced out to a comfortable 11-1 lead after 5 innings and it appeared there wouldn't be much of a game. But Channel 62 woke up in the next two innings by scoring 15 runs which gave them a 16-12 going into the 8th. Bruce Sutter, who led the Super League in ERA, struckout 2 hitters and retired the side in the top of the 8th to keep the BeefyMasters within range. Then in the bottom of the 8th, the BeefyMasters rallied for 5 runs and retook the lead, 17-16. In the top of the 9th with Rick Sutcliffe in relief and Mr. October leading off, Reggie Jackson hit the first pitch he saw and blasted a laser seemingly going near lightspeed over the RF wall to even up the exciting game. A throwing error later in the inning gave UHF Ch.62 a 18-17 lead going into the bottom of the 9th.
Big Daddy Rick Reuschel took the bump to protect the lead, but then Tony Armas hit an opposite field HR on the first pitch to tie the game at 18. Brookens and Thon then hit back-to-back singles to set the stage for Brian Downing's pinch hit heroics. Downing got an inside fastball and drilled it into the LF cheap seats for the walk-off HR as the crowd at the Dakota Dome erupted into a frenzy.
Game two will follow today's BB Kings vs Tropicana Staircases game at 3pm Dee Nee time.
Big Daddy really shit the bed, there
when winfield fouled off the second 0-2 pitch, i had a feeling lightning was about to strike
Another set of thrillers!

Brutal dead zone there for the Staircases after a nice start.
BIG DADDY REVENGE TOUR
Joe Morgan's walk-off homerun surges BB Kings into 2-0 LCS series lead
Game 2 of the FRBI Super League LCS was a story of big leads flip-flopping midgame and then a dramatic finish in the 9th.
Tropicana stormed out to a 15-7 lead after 4 innings before the BB Kings went on a 17-3 run in the 5th, 6th, and 7th innings to take a 24-18 lead. Tropicana surged down the stretch and evened up the contest 26-26 after the top of the 9th.
With the score even at 26, Roger McDowell took the ball in the bottom of the 9th and got Nokes to pop out in foul territory. The next batter, Joe Morgan, then showed his championship genes by drilling a McDowell fastball into the bleachers in right field for the walk-off homerun (his second of the game) and give nomaaa's BB Kings a crucial 2-0 series lead.
The game featured 12 hitter who had 4 homeruns or more, and both teams combined for 25 homeruns. Hack Wilson woke up for Tropicana and blasted 4 homeruns while Ernie Banks hit 3. Willie McCovey was a perfect 7-7 at the plate.
The series will resume today at 3pm Dee Nee time as the series shifts over to Las Vegas with Tropicana now hosting.
Big Daddy Reushel rebounds, holds off Beefy Masters 9th inning rally to register save, series now 1-1 with Channel 62 win
UHF Ch.62's heart of the lineup delivered a huge performance from the plate while Channel 62's bullpen was outstanding in shutting down the league's number one homerun team to even up the series.
Rick Reushel, who blew game 1, was given a 3-run lead going into the bottom of the 9th. After recording the first out, Dewey Evans blasted a PH HR. After a Bob Gibson out, Bruno and Bench exchanged doubles to come within 1 run of tying up the game. With Bench on second base and big bad Dave Kingman at the plate representing the game winning run, Reushel got Kingman to hit a weak popup to 2B Bobby Grich. Gantry was seen in jubilation from the press box as he is well known as Channel 62's biggest fan.
Game 3 will air live via Twitch today at 3pm Dee Nee time.
Man, that sixth inning was some real "death by a thousand cuts" bullshit - six runs on ONE extra base hit (and even that was just a double).
When Lombardozzi came up in the 7th I actually said out loud "Why are they letting Lombo hit?!" and then the ball was on its way out of the park before I finished saying it.
That Lambardozzi homer angered me a great deal
We got another pair of down to the wire thrillers!

UHF Ch.62 outlast BeefyMasters in see-saw dramatic ending to take 2-1 series lead. Roy Campanella delivers heroic walk-off HR.
In a wild and back-and-forth ending down the stretch, the lead was exchanged 4 times and both bullpens had no answers on a day that featured plenty of hitting. UHF led 23-20 in the 8th before the Beefy Masters evened up the score in the top half. In the bottom half of the 8th, Channel 62 added 3 runs to carry a 26-23 lead into the 9th. Bid Daddy was then torched in the 9th by a BeefMaster furious 6-run rally. Leading 30-29 in the bottom of the 9th, Fergie Jenkins was unable to secure the win. Kirk Gibson tied the game with a 3-run blast and the next batter, Roy Campanella, blasted the first pitch way over everything for the walk-off HR.
Game 4 will air at 2pm Dee Nee time today.
these games have been awesome. glad to have the league back, and thanks for all the work you're putting in
BB Kings relief pitchers take spotlight with dominant performance, BB Kings on cusp of sweeping Tropicana
After giving up 10 runs through the first 3 innings, the Super League's #1 pitching staff changed gears and limited Tropicana to only 4 runs the rest of the way. Dizzy Dean registered his second save in two opportunities after the BB Kings overcame a 10-1 4th inning deficit and a 13-11 8th inning deficit.
Down 13-11 in the top of the 8th, the BB Kings put together a 5-run inning culminating with a Mel Ott 3-run shot to give the BB Kings a 16-13 lead going into the bottom of the 8th. Doyle Alexander pitched a scoreless 8th and with Dizzy Dean pitching in the 9th, he ended the Tropicana threat with huge help from his defense. Down 16-14 with two outs and Foster on third base, big bad Hack Wilson lined the ball to the LF fence. Tim Raines played the bounce off the fence perfectly and threw an angel guided throw to third base for the game ending putout as George Foster foolishly tried to reach third base. Strawberry, who was on deck, angrily threw his bats down in the batter's circle as he was denied a chance to win the game for Tropicana.
The BB Kings are now 1 win away from nomaaa's first ever FRBI World Series appearance. Game 4 will broadcast live via Twitch today at 2pm Dee Nee time.

Boxscores will come later today, busy here at work. Also, games 5 and 6 of the BeefyMaster and Channel 62 series will run tomorrow - won't have time to do it from work.
I felt good going into the ninth and did not really care for my pitchers giving up dingers on four consecutive pitches.
Energetic BB Kings sweep Tropicana with mercy rule trouncing, Mel Ott named series MVP
The #1 pitching team in the league have only grown stronger during the LCS as the entire staff combined to limit Tropicana's hitters all series. The bullpen was extraordinary and served as a weapon instead of a liability.
Mel Ott led all hiters with a .773 average (17/22) and 17 RBI. His two grand slams in the series changed the momentum of both games that resulted in come from behind wins. Ott also hit 5 HR in the 4 games.
The BB Kings appeared hungry, confident, and loose every game. With their overall talent and depth, combined with their motivation, Tropicana just couldn't match them as they appeared lifeless and with GM Tempo not in attendance for any games as well as being unavailable to the FRBI media. Nevertheless, Tropicana had an exciting run as they captured the number 8 seed on the last day of the regular season to earn a bid into the playoffs. They won the wild card round playoffs and shocked the #3 team, Pabst Blue Ribbons, in the Divisional playoffs.
This will be nomaaa's first ever FRBI World Series appearance.
Good run Tropicana!
Quote from: Gantry on 02/04/21, 03:57:05 PM
Good run Tropicana!
It was a great run indeed! They came on strong towards the regular season and earned the last playoff spot. They beat the Empire and Hollywood in the wildcard playoffs and then shocked the Pabst Blue Ribbons in the divisional playoffs. It would have been a great Cinderella story, but the shoe didn't fit in the end - BB Kings were just a better team.
Beefy Masters hold-off 9th inning UHF CH.62 rally to even the series 2-2, Dave Kingman continues swinging hot stick, now hitting .852 (23/27) with 7 HRs
The BM-Ch.62 LCS series continued to be a high scoring affair with each game being decided in the 9th inning. The Beefy Masters took a 16-13 lead in the 6th inning and appeared to be cruising to a comfortable victory. However, Ultimate's Channel 62 refused to give up by putting together a furious rally in the 9th. Down 23-16 in the bottom of the 9th, Ch.62 scored 5 homeruns off three consecutive homeruns. With two outs, Ron Santo hit a pinch hit double and the tying run, Rick Reuschel, stepped up to the plate. Bob Gibson got Reuschel to hit weak pop-up to to the shortstop and just like that, the series is now tied at 2.
Games 5 and 6 will be played consecutively on Friday at 3pm Dee Nee time. Game 7, if necessary, will be played on Saturday at 4pm Dee Nee time.

Well just caught up on games 2-6, that was a crazy series
Hell of a series, ultimate - your guys put up a hell of a fight.
I need to find your old thread with the CPU substitution logic - I got hit with a weird scenario where the computer let Sutter bat for himself, he got out to end the inning, and then they immediately pulled him for a reliever anyway. Didn't end up mattering, but I did issue a solid "Oh, come on!" at my screen when it happened.
i see that happen all the time. it's that nba jam close game mechanic
indeed, incredible series, gents

Also, this is the second FRBI league in a row where we'll have the first and second place teams in the finals. GDavis finished first and the Empire finished second in the inaugural Arcade league ... with the Empire winning.

It is very impressive that as arbitrary as Fantasy RBI generally is, we still ended up with 1v2 twice in a row. This series is going to be a lot of fun.

Beefy Masters prove to be too much for UHF Ch.62 in games 5 and 6 as Beefy Masters punch their ticket to FRBI Super League World Series, Dave Kingman named series MVP
The league's #1 scoring and homerun team were down 13-10 in the top of the 6th inning. 7 homeruns and 9 runs later, the Beefmasters were up 19-13 and never looked back with a 26-20 victory in game 5. The Beefmasters outhomered UHF Ch.62, 15-4 in a display of muscle throughout the lineup.
In game 6 and with the Beefy Masters up 3-2 in the series, Rick Reuschel took the mound for a save opportunity with a slim 18-17 lead in the bottom of the 9th. In the last half of the 9th, Bench led off with a single which was followed with a Kingman double. Adcock then smacked a double into the alley scoring both Bench and Kingman for the game winning and series ending hit.
Dave Kingman was named LCS MVP. Kingman led all hitters with a .852 average (33/40) and 11 HR. Kingman finished with 22 RBI which was good enough for third best in the series and for all teams in the LCS playoffs. AdCock, Bench and Armas all contributed with impactful numbers. For UHF, Reggie Jackson carried Channel 62 with a .757 average, 10 homeruns, and 25 RBI.
The Beefy Masters hitters were just to much for Channel 62 to contain, and the Beefmaster pitching staff got the big outs at critical junctures all series which helped in what was a tight series. The Beefy Masters will now face the 1st place team BB Kings for the World Series. Games 1 and 2 will broadcast tomorrow at 2pm Dee Nee time. Beefmaster will be seeking his 3rd title, but that will have to be rechecked due to the archive office shutdown right now due to Covid. The last time Beefmaster won a FRBI WS was in 2010 when he co-owned with TBG and beat the Banana Hammocks. The records will have to be checked since it is unclear if this will be Beefmaster's third or 4th WS appearance dating back to the ancient era of FRBI in the early 2000's.

FRBI Super League World Series: Game 1
https://youtu.be/ts7_fxRznWo
https://youtu.be/qmkzeRSee0c
Steve Lombardozzi's career night carries Beefy Masters to game 1 comfortable victory
Steve Lombardozzi (789 power/31 contact) shocked the Fantasy RBI world with a career best 3 HR and 7 RBI output from the plate. Lombardozzi also had a career high 5 hits from the 8-hole.
In a World Series featuring a stark contrast in styles with the #1 homerun team contrasted with the #1 pitching team, the Beefy Masters power outshined the BB Kings with another display of power. Tied at 6 after the 4th inning, the Beefy Masters went on a 17-run scoring spree and outscored the BB Kings 17-5 the rest of the way. Down the stretch, the Beefy Masters hit 9 homeruns while the BB Kings only managed 2 runs and no homeruns. In fact, the BB Kings went blank in the 8th and 9th innings as the Beefy Masters pitching staff came in with a chip on their shoulders with so much talk about the BB Kings superior pitching staff that was the #1 pitching staff in the league in ERA and least homeruns given up.
WHAT IN THE EVER LOVING FUCK? STEVE LOMBARDOZZI?
L O M B O !
Juan Marichal, Doyle Alexander, and Dizzy Dean quiet Beef Master bats with brilliant relief outings to lead BB Kings to victory and even World Series, 1-1
Down 16-14, Marichal took the ball and kept his BB Kings in the game by only surrendering 4 runs in 3 relief innings pitched. In the bottom of the 7th and facing a 20-15 deficit, the BB Kings rallied for 6 runs on a series of singles and doubles. After the smoke cleared, the BB Kings were in the lead, 21-20. Doyle Alexander pitched a perfect 8th, and the BB Kings added an a very slim insurance run in the bottom half. After recording the first out, closer Dizzy Dean came in for Alexander with the death row coming up to bat in the top of the 9th. Bruno singled off Dizzy Dean. Dizzy Dean then got Johny Bench to line out. With one out away from tying the series, LCS MVP Dave Kingman stepped up to the plate as the BB King crowd were filled with tension and excitement with the knowledge that Kingman had already hit 3 towering shots in the game. Dizzy Dean located the ball down and away as Kingman lunged at the ball and flied out to center field for the last out.
With the series tied at 1, the World Series will now shift over to Dakota Park with the Beefy Masters playing at home. Game 3 will broadcast on Twitch at 2pm Dee Nee time.

I counted three separate half-innings that opened with back-to-back-to-back homers from the 1-3 batters. 2/3 of nomaaa's homers came that way!
Sounds like the coach is putting the right people at the top of the lineup
That was pretty cool to see - 3 different back-to-back-to-back homeruns! Great game and series thus far.
Game 4 today has been pushed back to 4PM Dee Nee time. Game 3's boxscore will be posted at some point before gametime.

BB Kings bullpen delivers again in relief, Dizzy Dean distinguishes Beefy Master last-gasp rally in the 9th to earn second save and take 2-1 series lead
Tied at 10 through 4 innings, the BB Kings outscored the Beefy Masters 11-3 in the next three innings to take a 21-13 lead going into bottom of the 8th inning. The resilient Beefy Master bats then finally woke up against the #1 pitching staff with the Beefy Masters staging a 6-run furious really to cut the BB King lead 21-19. Jimmy Key was forced out of the game in the 8th, and Doyle Alexander came in with 2 outs to end the BeefMaster threat. Bob Gibson pitched a perfect 9th to give the Beefy Masters an easier opportunity to win it in their last at-bat. After a 2-out Tony Armas double which scored Dave Kingman, Tom Brookens stepped up to the plate with a golden opportunity. However, it was also a golden opportunity for one of the league's best relievers to end the game. Dizzy Dean got Brookens to chase an outside fastball and fly out at the RF wall which looked like the ball had a chance to leave the yard. The thrilling ending now gives the BB Kings a 2-1 series lead.
Both teams hit back-to-back-to-back homeruns. The BB Kings did it twice, once in the 3rd inning and again in the 6th inning - both times happening with the same hitters - EBanks, MSchmidt, and WMcCovy.
Bruno led all hitters with 4 homeruns and Lombo continues to surprise with 4 hits in a losing effort. Ernie Banks delivered 3 homeruns to lead the BB Kings. The player of the game and the star of the game was Dizzy Dean with his second save in two opportunities against the most feared lineup in the history of the Fantasy RBI League.
Game 4
https://youtu.be/zLVwi4kbSv0
yet another heck of a game
Hell of a comeback by nomaaa after his guys spent the first five innings getting constantly TOOTBLAN'd.
In low scoring game, Beefy Masters capitalize on 9th inning Joe Morgan error, Tony Armas doubles in game winning run to even the series 2-2
Game 4 of the FRBI Super League World Series didn't feature a barrage of homeruns followed by fireworks, but there was no shortage on anxiety and excitement down the stretch.
After overcoming Jenkin's mastery on the mound and a 10-1 hole, the BB Kings found themselves with a 12-10 lead in the top of the 8th inning. The BB Kings added 3 runs off Cy Young winner Bruce Sutter to cushion their lead 15-10. The Beefy Masters high powered lineup quickly responded courtesy of clutch pinch hitting to make the score 15-13. Rick Sutcliffe quickly retired the BB King side in order with precision location and nasty change of speeds to set up the dramatic Beefy Master comeback win in the bottom of the 9th.
Brunansky, who is leading all hitters with a .640 average, 10 HR, and 19 RBI, blasted the first pitch he saw off Dizzy Dean to make it a 1-run BB Kings lead. Johny Bench then popped up to Joe Morgan, but Morgan uncharastically muffed the catch. Kingman then singled which induced a throwing error by Tim Raines enabling Bench to score while Kingman was thrown out at 3rd base in trying to take an extra base. AdCock was the next batter and he ripped a screaming linedrive to the left-center gap for a double. Tony Armas then stepped up and hit a ball through the right side of the infield to score AdCock and end the game. Dizzy Dean, who has been spectacular with two saves in games 2 & 3, wasn't at his best and appeared unfocused after Morgan's error. The World Series is now tied 2-2. Game 5 will be played Sunday at 4pm Dee Nee time on Twitch.
The story of the series has been the BB Kings pitching limiting Beef's powerful lineup from taking over the series, the lack of late inning production by the BB Kings hitters, and of course the timely homeruns and hits by the Beefy Masters. The Beefy Masters have 11 more hits than the BB Kings and have 40 homeruns to the BB Kings 24. Beef's team average is .529 to BB's .495. And in the pitching department, Beef's team ERA is 15.6 to BB's 19.6. The fielding error BOPS are tied at 3, while Beef has committed 6 throwing errors to BB's 2. Fergie Jenkins has been the most dominant pitcher thus far with a 9.42 ERA.
With RISP, Beef is hitting .555 while the BB Kings are hitting .480.
The Fantasy RBI Super League World Series is tied at 2 games to 2 in a best of seven. We got a dandy going on here! Game 5 will broadcast today at 3:30pm Dee Nee time: https://www.twitch.tv/ynot333
Game 6 on Monday at the same time and if necessary, game 7 on Tuesday at the same time.
We got BB Kings outstanding pitching staff and a bunch of scrappy hitters 5-8 going up against Beef's solid staff and the most powerful lineup in the history of the FRBI League. Beef's lineup power average is 901.875. The next best is Shooty's Canada at 899.625. Nomaa's power average is 878.25. I will say that the Beefy Masters can make a lot of outs on the bases due to Beef's poor team speed, but the stream of hits and homeruns offsets that somewhat in the sense that Beef's power advantage still holds despite the putouts on runners and double plays.
Beef's top 6:
Bruno: 906
Bench: 945
Kingman: 975
AdCock: 975
Armas: 918
Brookens: 897
Game 5 of the FRBI Super League World Series ... a THRILLER!
https://youtu.be/kbY_-l87Zb0
BB Kings offense matches Beefy Master's brute power as Banks, Schmdt, McCovy go 19-23 with 19 RBI & 10 HR to lead BB Kings to 29-26 narrow victory and a 3-2 series lead. Game 5 stretches 10 innings with Dizzy Dean earning the win in extra innings, outperforming Bob Gibson in a 10-inning thriller for the ages.
To the delight of fans who like high scoring games, game 5 didn't disappoint. Game 5 was the highest scoring game of the series thus far and to everyone's surprise, it was the BB Kings offense who outhit and outslugged the powerful Beefy Masters.
A perhaps deciding difference in the game were the 3 double plays the Beefy Masters hit into and thus slamming the brakes on potential big innings. Furthermore, the Beefy Masters also killed a potential rally when the Candy Man threw out a Beefy Master runner who was trying to go from 1st to 3rd on a Brunsky single and thus ending the inning with the death row part of the lineup due up. The BB Kings on the other hand, had no X-outs such as a double play or putouts from the BM outfielders. The much talked about lack of team speed of the Beefy Masters, for this game at least, turned out to be big disadvantage in a game where the BB Kings equaled the BeefMaster's hitting output.
In the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs and down 25-22, the Beefy Masters fought back with 3 runs to tie the game at 25. With runners on 2nd and 3rd, Brookens lined out to 3B Schmdt to end the rally and potential walk-off hit. In the top half of the 10, the BB Kings got a huge leadoff double by Dizzy Dean. Banks then singled him in for the go-ahead run. Mike Schmidt then blasted a 2-run shot which was followed by McCovey's 4th HR to give the BB Kings a 29-25 lead going into the bottom of the 10th.
With 1 out, Dewey Evans hit a ph single which was followed by a fielders choice putting Bob Gibson on second base after a throwing error by Joe Morgan. Bruno then hammered a single to put runners on the corners with 2 outs. Bench then replicated with a RBI single and putting runners at the corners again, only down 29-26 with Dave Kingman taking the plate. For the second time in the series, Dave Kingman, who had 9 RBI and 3 HR in the game, made the last out of the game with a 4-3 groundball out and failing to deliver in the clutch.
Game 6 will broadcast today 3:33 pm Dee Nee time on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/ynot333
Game 6 and another tight one!

great series. ggs beefy. bbq & blueberry pie on me
Mel Ott doubles in go-ahead runs with 2-outs in the bottom of the 8th, Dizzy Dean then retires the Beefy Master side in order as the BB Kings capture World Series championship in 6 games. Dizzy Dean named FRBI WS MVP with 3 saves and 1 win. Nomaaa earns first FRBI title.
In another back-and-forth thrilling game, the BB Kings jumped out to a 9-0 lead before the Beefy Masters chipped away and eventually took a 16-13 lead after 6½ innings. The BB Kings tied the contest in the bottom half of the 6th and the Beefy Masters quickly responded with a 3-run 7th to go up 19-16. The BB Kings managed a run in the 7th off a Mel Ott double. In the top of the 8th, the BB Kings vaunted bullpen took over. Doyle Alexander pitched a scoreless 8th and got Kingman to hit into an inning ending double play.
With 2 outs and facing league ERA champion Bruce Sutter, Dave Winfield, aka Mr. May, got the bats going with a pinch hit double. After consecutive singles by Banks and Schmdt, McCovy doubled in the tying run to make it 19-19 with runners at second and third. Mel Ott then laced a go-ahead 2 RBI double to give Dizzy Dean a 2-run lead going into the top of the 9th and on the cusp of Nomaaa's first ever FRBI title.
Dizzy Dean was spectacular in the 9th as he quickly dispatched AdCock, Armas and Brookens in order with precise location and a bit hair on his FB.
The Beefy Masters hit into 2 more double plays which killed potential rallies. For the series, the Beefy Masters hit into 10 double plays while the BB Kings only hit into 1 - it proved to be one of the significant factors to victory for Nomaaa's BB Kings.
The BB Kings pitching staff, who were #1 in the regular season, used a strong bullpen performance, outstanding outings by Marichal, scrappy hitting by the bottom of the lineup, and timely as well as big performances by the top of the lineup to take the series.
Nice work nomaaa!
Congratulations nomaaa! The BB Kings were ballers and one hellava team you put together. Having Candy in the 8-hole was a good move, as well as how you designed the lineup. Your pitching was top notch - Dizzy Dean is easily top three in best closers.
thank you, gentlemen. i watched the game while eating a steak dinner last night and it felt great.
very rewarding to stick with my ace and my closer from the last league and see them come out on top this time. i was excited about facing beefy's meat squad, but definitely worried about all that power. it's neat when two distinctly different teams match up in a big 7 game series.

Right back at ya - your team was great (I also loved the differing styles) and the series was a lot of fun.
I think I have the record for FRBI runner up finishes.

I'll dig up the history of all the seasons and finals. I think I have them bookmarked. You did last win it all in 2010 I believe when you and TBG co-owned. It was a clean sweep over the Banana Hammocks. I ran the league that year, so I do remember somewhat. I'll look into this history.
