2020 Fantasy RBI Super League Game Thread (reboot)

Week 12

[BeefMaster]

I don't think there's much evidence that the bops directly caused me to lose both those games but I sure as hell am blaming them for it.

[nomaaa]

the B-Boys got that grit and I like it.

[Nacho]

STYLIN'!

[Shooty]

Win #4.  Look out world!!!

[Darky]

Ye Old Stylers erupt for 14 runs in the 5th inning and cruise the rest of the way. Old Stylers added 5 more triples to their league leading 20 - closest team has 14 (Empire). With victory over the slumping UHF Ch.62, Old Stylers now move into 4th place with 2-game lead from the pack tied for 5th place. Ultimate Chicago have now lost 6 straight and searching for answers as they are entering wild card survival terrain.

[Darky]

Tropicana shock Pabst Blue Ribbons with outstanding pitching, clutch hitting, and PBR errors resulting in 4 unearned runs. PBR also hit into 2 double plays in game where everything that could have gone wrong, went wrong. No late inning magic for PBR this time around, mainly due to Tropicana's outstanding bullpen in the clutch. Down 14-12, PBR had runners on second and third in the bottom of the 9th, but Fernando Mania grounded out to end the game.

Yaz immediately benched after the loss after dreadful 0-fer performance at the plate. Chili Davis' pinch hit 2-run homer earns him starting job back ... for the moment. Bedrosian, who pitched a 3 pitch 1-2-3 8th inning, reportedly livid in the locker room after the game and things were heard being broken in violent manner.

Tropicana move into 5th place with win, PBR remain in first place.

[Darky]

Gooden flashed old brilliant form and Canada gets balanced hitting to snap 3-game losing streak in 20-10 win. Canada Shootys outscored Hollywood 13-2 after the 4th inning to pull away. Canada alive and well for the playoffs and Hollywood still in the hunt for a playoff bye.

[Darky]

High Fives run up big lead on BB Kings and then hold on for 21-18 win. Koufax brilliant until the 9th and Dawson's 2 HR keeps him as league leader in homeruns at 21. High Fives now surging with 3rd straight win with playoff hopes looking good. BB Kings 3-game winning comes to an end, but BB Kings still in second place.

[Darky]

Empire stun Beefy Masters with 22-9 mercy rule win in 5 innings. Empire now on 2-game winning streak and new member Eric Davis rejuvenated in his three games with the Empire. Former Beefy Master players employ revenge on BeefMaster as Jackie Robinson and Joe Torre combine to go 7-9. Beefy Masters now have lost 2 straight to last place teams.

Week 12 was flip the script week and upside down world as the top 3 teams lost and the bottom 4 teams all won. Errors have been up in weeks 11 and 12 due to apocalyptic weather conditions due to climate change. 

[Darky]

Week 13 - don't let the errors bite you!!

[fightonusc]

My team is great at finding new ways to lose games.

[Shooty]

Holy shit.  McDowell struck out the side in the bottom of the ninth with a one run lead.  Amazing.

[Shooty]

The Empire was un-clutch in that game. Definitely do not have the look. 

[Darky]

That was crazy with McDowel coming in dealin' like that to poor Fighton. That was a painful loss for Hollwyood because the last out to end the game was in Gagne's glove ... then the ball popped out and then Speir's ph homer changed things.

The Empire was un-clutch in that game. Definitely do not have the look. 

We never had any kind of look other than horseshit after the first two games. I just don't have a good team that can't put it together. We had SO MANY chances to seize that game against UHF and we blew every single one of them - it was actually an incredible run of bad breaks to get RISP with no outs and find ways to not score. That game was our last chance to jump back in and control our own destiny for the wildcard round and we blew it. With your team and the High Fives surging, I think we are done and won't even be the 8th seed.


Boxscores will be a bit delayed and week 14 is pushed back to Monday.

[Gantry]

CHANNEL FUCKING 62

[BeefMaster]

Really need to work on some situational coaching with the left side of my infield. You HAVE to take the out rather than trying to hold the lead runner when the middle of the order is coming up, and they did it wrong twice in a row to set up a grand slam, then later they did that terrible "throw the ball before you actually tag the runner" move to let a run in without an out.

[Darky]

Got delayed with the boxscores, so I'll try and get in 2-3 today. The rest will roll out tomorrow and week 14 has been pushed back to Wednesday since I am working tomorrow and won't be able to broadcast week 14 since there is a really chaotic individual at the short term living house I work at.

Week 15 should happen Friday, and then week 17 may happen Sunday before the NFL games. Then I'm back in the US next Monday and we'll take it from there with my hardcore jetlag.

[Darky]

Leading 12-11 in the top of the 9th with two outs, George Brett makes critical error and drops line drive right at him to end the game. PH Speir then delivers go-ahead 2-run HR. McDowell then comes in to close the game and allows leadoff double to Garrelts. The next three batters all struck out as McDowell went into nasty mode to give Tropicana big win and inside positioning for the playoffs. Fighton immediately lashes out on Twitter, mistakenly thought Gagne made the nightmarish error, but it was Brett who made the error - Brett pinch hit and substituted at SS for Gagne in the 8th.

[Darky]

Canada breaks 12-12 tie in the top of the 9th with 6-run rally started by LF error - Mattingly immediately capitalizes with PH go-ahead HR. Spahn pitches scoreless bottom half of the 9th to lower his ERA to 41.29.

Ye Old Stylers remain in 4th place while Canada Shootys put themselves in playoff position with second straight win.
