NLD 59 - Satchel Commemorative League

No one seemed to notice, and I know no one cares, but I had two starting players hurt almost perpetually last quarter of the season--I had no infield in the playoffs. I had just as soon finished 8th as to go into playoffs with SS and 2B hurt.

There have been a ton of injuries in this set, I have noticed (which obviously reflects MLB.) But it does seem some teams are affected more than others (i.e. JTJ and your team this season.) But, I would suppose this is somewhat the luck of the rolls? Either way, it does suck to go into playoffs severely shorthanded.

Anyone else note the bit of irony about how the West division was touted as the strongest division all year long -- yet the finals teams are from the Central and East?

Well, five teams finished over .500 and three were from the west so.... Can you say "short series"?

OR, as the 107 Win 2021 SF Giants showed, "maybe your record is not a great indicator of how good your team actually is?" truthfully, as the 106 Win Dodgers showed as well.....

Yeah, I have enough trouble tracking my own injuries much less someone else's if I'm not playing them.

You only had 1 guy with 600 PA, but that's still pretty bad luck.

Randal - I think we can agree that the Giants and Bums were pretty close last year. Giants got one extra during the season, the Bums one during the five game series.

Finals tied 2-2. Thompson v Sandoval in game 5

Maybe I can send you Bader, Pollock, and Phillips to round out the All Hospital team

We needed to extend the series … more money for my owner

Game 7 for all the marbles! Facing 7 LH Starters has been a challenge.

Finding players to play for what I have paid them … is even harder. Plus, we fly coach to all the away games in true Cleveland baseball style.

I went against the grain for this series and brought out Jabu!

Looks like a great series! Valdez versus Musgrove for the Ring!

Best of luck to both for tonight!!
