Louisville Hands Reins to Shaw as New GM: Can Louisville win with Stephen Shaw at the helm?

Several respected baseball commentators urged team ownership to show patience with the new man.

"New general managers are always in a rough spot," wrote one. "The organization needs to take a thoughtful, weighted approach. It has some great talent, but it also has holes. Shaw shouldn't reinvent the wheel or feel pressured to make any knee-jerk decisions this early on. He should take his time and base his assessment of the club on logic."

Sage advice, if Louisville will listen to it.

New Orleans Out of Time, Out of Playoffs: The playoff hopes of the New Orleans Crawdads -- which were already faint at best -- are now completely extinguished. The team will miss the playoffs this year, being mathematically eliminated from contention today.

New Orleans last appeared in the postseason in 2035. This is their 3rd consecutive year missing the playoffs, and in total they have not advanced past the regular season 21 times in their 43-year history. In the last 10 seasons, the Crawdads have missed the playoffs 4 times. New Orleans has won the Landis Memorial Series 4 times in their history.

Boise Out of Time, Out of Playoffs: Fans of the Boise Spuds will no doubt soon start turning their attention to next season -- if they haven't already. The team today was officially eliminated from playoff contention.

This is the 4th time in a row that the Spuds have missed the playoffs. Their last payoff appearance was in 2034.

[recte44]

Goats Out of Time, Out of Playoffs: It will not be a surprise to many, but the Nashville Goats will not be heading to the playoffs this year. The team has been mathematically eliminated from postseason contention.

Montreal Eliminated from Playoff Contention: Juan Parra said it's going to be "an awfully long offseason" for the Montreal Blazers after they missed the Brewster Baseball Association playoffs. The club came close, but ultimately ran out of games to secure a postseason spot and were eliminated from contention today.

Montreal last appeared in the postseason in 2036. This is their 2nd consecutive year missing the playoffs, and in total they have not advanced past the regular season 22 times in their 43-year history. In the last 10 seasons, the Blazers have only missed the playoffs once.

Playoff Bound: Edmonton Secures Wild Card: It still remains to be finalized whether or not it will be a division title or a wild card berth, but the Edmonton Jackrabbits today officially captured a playoff spot.

"One goal down, several more to go," said third baseman Steven Collins III.

Division Remains Up for Grabs, but San Antonio in Postseason: The Johnson League Sun Belt Division title remains to be officially decided, but one thing is now known for the sure, the San Antonio Outlaws are headed to the playoffs.

"It's a good feeling to know that for sure," said starting pitcher Yrrigs Carpenter.

The club has a 80-74 record and will be looking for the 2nd Brewster Baseball Association championship in team history.

[recte44]

Postseason Bid Ends for Hawaii: This won't be the year the Hawaii Tropics raise a championship banner. The club was today eliminated from the playoff race.

The Tropics have missed the playoffs 33 times in their 43 years as a Brewster Baseball Association franchise. This playoff miss is the club's 11th in a row, with their last postseason appearance coming in 2026. Hawaii last won the Landis Memorial Series in 2025.

[recte44]

Gamblers Come up Short of Playoffs: The battle by the Atlantic City Gamblers to claim a playoff position is now over. Despite the team's best efforts, they were mathematically eliminated from the postseason today.

Atlantic City last appeared in the postseason in 2036. This is their 2nd consecutive year missing the playoffs, and in total they have not advanced past the regular season 29 times in their 43-year history. In the last 10 seasons, the Gamblers have missed the playoffs 5 times.

[recte44]

Postseason Bid Ends for Huntsville: While they stayed relevant until late in the season, a playoff berth wasn't meant to be this season for the Huntsville Phantoms. The club was eliminated from playoff contention today.

"Even though we knew where things stood, it's a disappointment," Phantoms manager Bret Richards said.

The Phantoms have missed the playoffs 26 times in their 43 years as a Brewster Baseball Association franchise. This playoff miss is the club's 7th in a row, with their last postseason appearance coming in 2030. In the last 10 seasons, the Phantoms have missed the playoffs 6 times. Huntsville has won the Landis Memorial Series 4 times in their history.

[recte44]

Playoff Bound: Phoenix Secures Wild Card: They have their eye on the Johnson League Sun Belt Division crown, but for now the Phoenix Talons are happy to have guaranteed themselves a playoff berth.

"We'd like to go in as division champions, that's for sure," said reliever Nate Horswill.

The Talons currently have a 80-75 record and when playoffs begin will be vying for the 1st Brewster Baseball Association championship in franchise history.

[recte44]

Division Remains Up for Grabs, but Seattle in Postseason: Celebrating a playoff clinch never gets old, according to Ken Walter of the Seattle Storm.

"I could do this each and every year," the starting pitcher said as he celebrated his team officially having clinched a playoff spot. "It's why we play the game - to get to the playoffs and have a chance to become Landis Memorial Series champions."

The Frick League Frontier Division club has a record of 88-68 and will be seeking the franchise's 1st Brewster Baseball Association championship.
