FRBI Super League LCS and World Series thread

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.

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.

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!

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.

Kingman is unreal

Games 5 and 6 of the Super FRBI LCS

[ultimate7]

Well just caught up  on games 2-6, that was a crazy series

[BeefMaster]

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.

[nomaaa]

i see that happen all the time. it's that nba jam close game mechanic

[nomaaa]

indeed, incredible series, gents

[Darky]
