Slugger Shavings 2040.01 - PLAYOFFS!

Post by sjshaw » Sat Nov 30, 2019 9:15 pm

We waited for the best news of the season before we posted our first TN. Loserville made the playoffs!

The cocaine and low-grade methamphetamine flowed freely in the Louisville locker room. In April. Now that LOU will be making their first appearance in the playoffs under GM Shaw's iron-fist rule, the meth is all high-grade now. The cocaine is still cut with dehydrated Elmer's glue.

It looked like this would be another season spent waiting on GM Shaw to stop playing FA games with comp picks and actually get somebody who could help the team.

Turns out that "somebody" was a key early-season trade and a few mid-season rookie promotions that lit a fire in the Slugger rotation and lineup. We'll analyze the trade in an upcoming news item, but the key rookie additions were:

SP Armando "Commie Child" Feliciano: The prized top prospect showed that his UCL stolen... err, "donated" from Max Scherzer at gunpoint, was fully healed by winning his first six starts en route to a 10-2 record in a mere 2 months of BBA action.

RP Andresa Pires: From 6th round pick to 1.8 WAR in relief. Pires was crucial to stabilizing the floundering LOU bullpen, giving 104 quality innings, holding opponents to a .501 OPS in high-leverage situations.

SS Juan "Juanny Baseball" Medrano: Medrano started slowly in AA and looked overmatched. Few expected that he would play a key role in getting LOU to the playoffs. After joining the big leagues in late July, Medrano showed he belonged, putting up a respectable 98 OPS+ in 61 games, but more importantly, 5.2 ZR at SS, which had been a nuclear waste facility prior to his arrival.
