2020 Fantasy RBI Super League Game Thread (reboot)

[fightonusc]

I promised my team a socially distanced ice cream party if we could score 10 runs in an inning.

[ryno]

I mean I guess our pitching  was great.  But 11 goddamn combined runs!?!?

It was crazy and funny! That was a rare game as far as the scoring and haven't seen such a game like that in all the games I have scored. Hey though, you got the W and a W is a W! Vader has sent in the slump busters!

I want to get mad, throw shit, and make changes but they all sucked lol.

I promised my team a socially distanced ice cream party if we could score 10 runs in an inning.

lmao! Fuckin' genius. Ice cream is a bulletproof motivator! I may ask Vader to forego the slumpbusters in favor of ice cream ... or ... both escort slumpbusters and ice cream. The Empire is open to any slumpbuster at this point.

Anyways, chances have been reduced of week 8 happening today since I am bingeing on Kobra Kai on Netflix!

Also, nice to see trend busting wins, such as the High Fives star blasting Ultimate's Channel 62 team! And good for Nacho's Old Stylers and their 4-game winning streak. The league appears wide open again ladies and little boys!

fucking mario soto

[Gantry]

MARIO FUCKING SOTO

[ryno]

Some vests were earned in week 7.   None for anyone n offense.   But the 3 headed monster of Mike Scott, Bert Blyleven, and Steve Bedrosian earned that shit!,,,

Congrats men.  Now don't go pissing me off next week. 

[Darky]

Bert Blyleven is the read deal in this league. Never thought he's top tier SP material, yet here we are watching him shutdown team after team with his high K ratio.

Soto has shown he's top tier since the Arcade league.

Yeah guys, boxscores will come in tomorrow and expect Week 8 on Tuesday.

[Darky]

3-headed pitching monster of Scott, Byeleven, and Bedrock shutdown Empire with lightsout pitching - only 11 hits surrendered and 2 runs. Game was fastest recorded ever in FRBI history. Empire now on 5-game losing skid. PBR rebound after heartbreaking loss to BB Kings.

[Darky]

Tudor and Koufax shutdown league's #1 hitting team, High Fives erupt for 15 runs in 6th inning to mercy rule and shock UHF Ch.62.

[Darky]

After a promised socially distanced ice cream party if Hollywood could score 10 runs in an inning, the Hollywood Star Whackers  vigorously responded with a 11-run rally in the top of the 1st inning. From there, Soto pitched brilliantly and registered a complete game as Hollywood easily won 22-11.

[Darky]

With the score even at 11 going into the 7th, Tropicana explodes for a 17-4 run down the stretch for their second win. JNiekro finishes the last 5 innings in relief and continues to prove he's an elite pitcher like his brother. Canada's program experiencing turbulence as same old problems resurface.

[Darky]

Old Ye Stylers get historical night with Hank Aarron's FRBI record setting 5 HR to fuel them to 4 straight win. Old Stylers outscore Beefy Masters 16-4 down the stretch and bullpen helps Old Stylers to pull away to impressive victory making many observers take notice of Nacho's suddenly hot team.

[Darky]

Week 8

[Nacho]

Nailbiter in that Old Stylers game. I don't remember seeing pinch hitters in the middle of at bats before.

[nomaaa]

me neither. it really was a great game

I didn't see it and I just watched all the ph at-bats again. What inning did this happen?


Anyways, boxscores will roll out tomorrow. Very interesting and fun season, despite the Empire being in shambles but fuck them for playing like pussies - we just don't have it and we just aren't a good team - the chemistry isn't there in the lineup.

Nacho's team is surging with a 5-game winning streak. The Empire had a 5 or 6 game winning streak before the second half after starting the season so-so. That Ron Cey is damn clutch and perhaps the best 855 power hitter between the arcade and NES version.

Ryno's team has some nasty pitching. His acquisition of Bedrock has really fortified the bullpen and made the pitching staff complete. Mike Scott led the Hogans to the title game and he's showing that maybe it is he who is the best pitcher in the game on a consistent basis. It's pretty cool how in the arcade rom and this rom how pitching plays a huge role.

I think this Super NES league has more teams that has he potential to win it, but then I thought the same with the Arcade league and then once the playoffs started, it was revealed that the Empire and Hulksters were in their own class. Recall the Empire got every single break in the Arcade WS to help win it, and of course with Hack, Aarron and the surprise breakout performance by Cey served as the main facilitators, along with the Empire's bullpen.

Beef's team is solid, Ultimate's, Ryno's, Nacho's, and Nomaaa's. I think after them, there is a dropoff, but we haven't gone through the second half and things can change suddenly, like how Fighton's team surged and Nacho's team collapsed. I will say I am looking forward to the playoffs since it should be a lot more competitive than the Arcade playoffs. I also like how the games have gone more low scoring in the sense that it shows how valuable pitching is.

Anyways, all that can be wrong as we conclude the first half and dive into the second half with different pitchers going up against the same teams.

[ryno]

Bedrock has become the leader in the clubhouse for the Ribbons.  As an undrafted free agent he really had a chip on his shoulder.   He's earned a kick ass vest and a sweet titty gold chain necklace.  The mfer went from drinking coors light to PBR and never looked back.  He's the face of the franchise.   

But we gotta get the bats going.  Back to back shitty offensive outputs has me considering bench time for Chili Davis.   

I would love to find a lead off guy that would low me to slide mantle into the 2 hole.    Changes to the lineup are coming.  Will consult with Bedrosian and make the announcement soon. 

[fightonusc]

Other than the UHF disaster, I think all of our other losses have been either by one run or on a walk off. Woof.

I forgot to mention your team is also pretty good and is capable of going deep in the playoffs for sure. All it takes is for the breaks to go your way. Also, what's going on with Bonds? He hit 21 homeruns for you in the Arcade season - he only has 3 for me.

Chili was hitting .556 going into week 8, but had zero bombs since joining your team - he has 4 total for the year counting his stats with the Empire. There's something about him I will admit. Actually, he's just not a superstar.
