let's do it

Your BB Kings finished in 1st place, do you want home or away?

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

[Darky]

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?

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.

Game 3

[nomaaa]

gfg

[BeefMaster]

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!

[Gantry]

Sounds like the coach is putting the right people at the top of the lineup

[Darky]

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.
