Despite another late game attempt comeback the night before, Long Beach held on for the win to tie the series at 2-2, setting up the Series showdown in Game 5. It was a pleasant Minnesota evening at a balmy 38 degrees with a decent wind blowing out to left (which may have proved critical). The stadi...

Season records - YS 7 - TWC 5 Twin Cities’ pitching is nowhere on par with Yellow Springs. TWC’s best hope is to get at the YS starting pitching early and have run fests like against Long Beach. TWC has had some success against a Laloosh. However, you can’t expect the offense to carry the team every...

Two come backs in the 9th & 10th... gives me a heart attack...

Like watching this Astros in the World Series

Epic finish... Extra innings (13) 8-7

All the games except for game 2 were close and competitive.

Well played

Just for fun, I checked the weather in Oconomowoc, WI.

-9?

I don't blame you for not getting out of bed.

Regardless of the reason for the delay, I wish Matt would check in to let us know he's ok.

Seriously, I hope he's ok.

I know real life gets in the way sometimes, but I must have checked the forums a few dozens today... lol

Good Luck Lane! Ironic we're up against the guy I first met and welcomed me to the league. I appreciate it and I've had lots of fun so far. Now though... For game 1, I'm debating on putting Eilzando up first. When he's on, he's lights out good https://media1.tenor.com/images/2ddb09f2976a950a4d8c894e...

90 Wins... Well there's a load off.

These sim updates are looking more and more like ER reports

Going into this week, Twin Cities was sitting at 82 wins, tied for the Franchise High in wins and also holding the 2nd Wild Card Spot. Coming to town were the red hot Omaha Hawks, who have been surging their way within one win of the 4th and final Wild Card position behind Long Beach. Game 1 - Rooki...

Looks like Madison might be without Raider for the 1st round.... Injured while running the bases.

Though I wish no ill will on anyone... my catchers might be able to sleep better

For what's it worth, it'd be interesting to see how Raider's OPS would compare if stolen bases were included. I know that sounds silly, but seeing how Raider is the lead off guy usually, he typically ends up on third base anyway when he gets a single or walks, which he does a lot. Anyway, for TWC's ...

Drafted a year apart and coming up together through the minors, these two stellar second basemen are offensive sparkplugs, destined for years at the top of the lineup. While one is spray hitting machine, racking up doubles & triples, the other earns his extra bases with his excellent eye and unstopp...

Tyler, you're not getting kicked out of the league. Also, was that a toilet flush I heard in there? :) It was part tongue in cheek (I love the league but know that I hate team news writing and it will always be the first thing to fall away any time my free time evaporates), and part Hot Take. I'm a...

The Frick League Wild Card... 6 Teams - 3 Spot up for grabs, separated by 5 1/2 Games +3.5 Twin Cities +2 Madison +0 Long Beach - 0.5 Calgary -1 Omaha -2 Seattle Key Final Match Ups Omaha vs Twin Cities (3 games) Madison vs Calgary (4 games) Madison vs Louisville (3 games) Long Beach vs Louisville (...

Mexico City may or may not win a Landis, but I think they will be in the playoffs soon. Omaha is set up to be good for several seasons, and Twin Cities is going to be very good. These guys are going to carry the Heartland soon. :) I feel their was an appropriate amount of twin cities love on the po...

Cool... Looking forward to listening, especially since I have a vested interest... lol

Enjoyed the preseason episodes.

With 2 of 4 of the Omaha's final series against Calgary and Twin Cities, at least your team has some control over it's destiny. With the team playing hot, 10 or 11 wins in the final stretch might be enough. It's not unheard of, so at least there's some hope and sometimes that's all you need..

149 Games in.... 13 Games remaining. With 81 wins, the 2033 River Monsters are 4 wins shy of the Franchise high set last season with 85. However, those wins are meaningless without a Playoff appearance to show for them. Over the last 2 weeks, the River Monster managed to leave Long Beach with 3 wins...
