Fantasy RBI Baseball playoffs

[fknmclane]

There's nothing to compare Doc's performance to except for perhaps Don Larsen's perfect game in the World Series.  Doc is the man.

Looks like he's making a strong case to be the first pick in next year's fantasy RBI draft.

Game Summary:

The Nimrods came out like a team ready to take their playoff series to a deciding fifth game. But once again, BeefMaster had the answers, as they were able to take advantage of The Nimrods' bullpen to rally for a 19-15 victory on Wednesday to clinch a spot in the Fantasy RBI Baseball World Series and set off a racous celebration at BeefMaster Stadium.

The Nimrods led 7-0 after the middle of three innings, but BeefMaster used several big innings to get back into the game. They scored five runs in the third, fourth and seventh innings and four more in the fifth to complete their scoring. They were greatly aided by their bullpen, which gave up only three runs in the final five innings.

Glenn Davis and Reggie Jackson powered BeefMaster's offense, each hitting two home runs and driving in five. Gary Carter added a home run and three RBI.

The Nimrods lost several chances to get back into the game, stranding eight runners and hitting into a pair of double plays. Tom Brunansky hit two home runs in the losing effort.

Nice job Beefmaster.

[BeefMaster]

Thanks.  We still haven't won anything yet - one more series to go.  Baylor was the MVP of the team that was upset in the original Fantasy RBI World Series, and he's not about to let his teammates rest on their laurels.

Video of Game 4 of the OC/Stiffs series is up at the site. Box scores and recap to follow.

Game Summary:

So much for the regular season. The OC's Fantasy RBI Baseball League playoff-series clinching 22-16 victory over The Stiffs on Thursday at OC Stadium means that the league's two top teams in the regular season were knocked out before the World Series, and that the winner of the World Series will be a team with a .500 regular season record.

Unlike in the previous game, The Stiffs were able to get to Dwight Gooden. The OC's ace and Cy Young winner had an average start by his standards, giving up five earned runs over four innings. In fact, The Stiffs tied the game at 9-9 in the fifth before The OC hammered reliever Willie Hernandez to take control of the game. Hernandez gave up nine earned runs in three innings to take the loss.

Jim Rice, George Bell and Mike Schmidt each homered twice for The OC. Rice drove in six as part of a 5-for-6 day, while Bell and Schmidt each drove in four. Brian Downing was a one-man wrecking crew for The Stiffs, hitting three home runs and driving in seven in the losing effort.
