FRBI VI Week 5

[AlecTrevylan006]

I don't even know how I'm gonna START trying to fix this. The wrong guys aren't hitting!

[Gantry]

I must have been focusing too much on Joyner's faults, you can't argue with 4 RBIs.  The 6 hole is his spot...

[BeefMaster]

Some impressive errors in the AB-OC game - each team made an error attempting to turn a double play...

OC Legions hit a grounder to the right side with a man on first, fielded by the second baseman on his way to cover first.  He threw it to second, and I thought they'd managed to avoid the error; however, not only was the runner safe there, but the shortstop made his relay before the second baseman made it to first base.  E6, runners at second and third (I believe both scored).

Badasses loaded the bases with one out and hit a grounder to the first baseman.  He threw home for one out, and the catcher threw right back before the second baseman made it over to cover.  Thankfully, the computer runners didn't take off until the ball hit the wall, so it only resulted in one run (their only one of the game).  I believe it was the first time I've seen a throwing error by the catcher.

Questionable fielding decision immediately before that play, too - with runners at first and third and one out, hard grounder back to the pitcher, who throws home to hold the runner.  If he'd thrown to second, it likely would've been an inning-ending double play.

[Darky]

Very unhappy with that performance.  Though he hit a solo shot, I am still VERY unhappy with Murphy's work with runners on base.

This is exactly why I took Straw instead of Murphy (plus I like Straw's speed better). Murphy is really good at hitting solo shots and hitting bombs when your team is down by more than 8 runs or so. He's solid though, he'll clutch up eventually. He's good at starting rallies, but I have noticed that he does not do that great with runners in scoring position most of the time. I've had him for two seasons, so I have a good idea about him.


About the game, it was the little things that made the difference. I almost started Buckner, but I'm glad I didn't since Doran was safe of a huge sac fly. Had that been Buckner, his slow ass would have been drilled. I should watch the game again, don't remember much really.

The Alliance-Hammocks game was a great high scoring game---and it's gonna be a bitch to score   The Alliance look good and Puckett is having a good year so far.

The OC woke up, and I'll be more than happy to score that quick game. The OC and AB will be playing each other for the next two games---they ended up with the three game stand against each other this year.

The Ulrachers-Blue Ribbons was a tight one too.

The Poopydicks were too much for the Artichokes. I think the Artichokes will be last in HR's this year.

[Darky]

MikeD/Nacho....actually Murphy did well. I think you guys are expecting huge games from him. He really doesn't produce those kind of mammoth games. He's just real steady.

I just watched the game again. You guys hit into two double plays that killed potential big innings. One in the 8th and one in the 9th. They were both line out double plays. I definitely got the breaks to go my way that game.

Also, I love Strawberry. Dude is clutch.

[TbT]

The Poopydicks were too much for the Artichokes. I think the Artichokes will be last in HR's this year.

Reggie goes 1-5 with a double every fkn game, and im pretty sure the double comes when it doesnt matter.  Jack clark has been shit as well.  Ozzie Smith has outproduced those 2 fucks combined.

[Barton]

Wow, what a game! Don't know at what point we can start spoiling...

[Turd]

Rebel Alliance, I've seen the game. Let me know when you have...

[Barton]

At least 1/2 of us have.

[Re-Peat]

I have as well.

Killer defense...

[Turd]

Yeah, 16 HRs? Off the hook...that game was back and forth until the end. My bats are hot right now...

[Darky]

This season is extremely fun so far. Everybody is passionately involved and participating the way I imagined.

The season is still very early. The Fighting Artichokes were under the radar until they made their late season push. Then they pulled off a huge upset in the divisional playoffs over the Legions of Doom. Anything can happen in a 7 game series.

The Gantry Division is going to be a battle for the playoff spots. I think the Ulrachers are a cinch to get in. I still see the other two playoff spots being wide open right now---but I do like the Sally Cunts to take a playoff spot. If the OC can get on a roll with all their power, then watch out. The Blue Ribbons have solid pitching which will keep them in games. They have just enough offense to pull out wins as well---though they lack some power in the lineup. The Badasses are in a funk. Can't put my finger on it, they do have some quality hitters and their pitching is not the worst---or best.

Over in the Dove RBI division, it looks like Alliance should coast into the playoffs. They can afford to have silent bats on an off day with their pitching. I think my team should get in the playoffs. The third spot should be a battle between the Poopydicks and the Hammocks. I don't know if the Artichokes can work their magic again this season.
Also, I think the Empire matches up well with the Alliance, so a 7 game series is very much welcome Repeat/Barton

Trades will be open soon fellas!

Recaps will come tomorrow and week 6 will take place on Sunday. Need a little recess here and catch up on the stats.

[Gantry]

You dumb fuck, Poopydicks aren't losing another game.  Getting Joyner out of the 3 hole was KEY

Gantry said all there is to say.

[BeefMaster]

I am sooo anxious for our matchup against the Poopydicks right now.

[fknmclane]

I am sooo anxious for our matchup against the Poopydicks right now.

You're next motherfucker!

[BeefMaster]

You're next motherfucker!

So, you're just going to forfeit the two games you have scheduled before you play us?

[Nacho]

Mclane, what do you think of the job BeefMaster has done rearranging all of that furniture in your head?

[Gantry]

You think we're afraid of his fucking team?  I don't even know what fucking team he has, but it's no match for the Poopydicks

[Darky]

Mind=Blown

I just finished scoring the Hammocks-Alliance game. I thought the Alliance won for some reason, and I found out that it was actually the Hammocks who won. Weird. So that makes it a 3-way tie in the Dove RBI division---and the Empire with the edge because of head-to-head pwznage over the Alliance and Poopydicks. Back where the Empire belongs. JUGGERNAUT'd!!!111

Recap on the way...
