It didn't improve. There have been some injuries to Jokers that have allowed you to get this spot.

 

Notes:

 

Mike Van Siclen was not resigned. If you want me to force a resigning, Mike, I can do that, but it will be a minor league contract with the Crunk Machine, you might get a better deal somewhere else, or you might not.

Im guessing its not to good to brag about being in first place when you have a .500 record, but the Twisters are still in first..

 

and I just realized I missed commenting on not getting selected to the AS Game, not that it would have mattered had I been since I wouldn't have played.

Bah.

 

I come back..many posts later..and find out that i'm the "defensive backup" for MONTREAL. Pathetic.

 

Maybe I should start following this league now?

Fuck. This might be my best season on the hill and I get stopped in my tracks by injury. Do the baseball gods just not want me to win 20 games or something?

Say, Evo, think there's any possibility for him to enter the Hall?

I seriously doubt it, unfortunately. LeBeau seems to be the best chance for the Hall of Fame, followed by Marvin Jenkins, but it'll take some work from both of them to get to that next level.

Because I'm horribly insane, time for SFBL PTI! Or something...

 

Whee, Pardon the Interruption!

The SFBL's got a few months to go, so rather than wait until later, we're going to talk about who we think's going to make the playoffs and our choices for the end of the year awards. Wilbon, who do you like in the East-West division?

 

wilbon_mike_l.jpg

 

Well, Seattle's always a top contender, with the big bat of R.J. Frost. Plus, they've got a big lead over the Jokers, so I'll take them to win the West. The Central is up in the air, and I just hope the team that wins it has a .500 record. The East might be closer than you think. Boston and Philly are closing the gap, and with them tied up for the Wild Card, one of those two teams should make the playoffs.

 

kornheiser_tony_l.jpg

 

I agree with you about Seattle, they'll clinch the West, because, quite frankly, I don't see any other team making a surge, though Vegas could sneak up on the Wild Card. I see Baltimore taking the Central and preventing an expansion team from making the playoffs. In the East, I'll take Boston to go on a tear while New York will stumble, putting the Freedom in the wild card unless the Jokers can make something happen.

 

wilbon_mike_l.jpg

 

Okay, now let's talk about the North-South. I think the only real lock here is Jacksonville to win the South again. As for the North, the second place team there will take the wild card, and if Memphis can hold on, they should have the central.

 

kornheiser_tony_l.jpg

 

Folks, you better have this show recorded on your TiVo, I'm agreeing with Wilbon! I will be a little more bold, though, and say that Columbus takes the North, leaving the Clerks with the wild card spot. And I'm going to be even more bold and say that the Fraisers once again win the SFBL championship!

 

wilbon_mike_l.jpg

 

Okay, well, if you're taking Seattle, then I'm going with the Jackoffs. They've been to the postseason countless times, and Ghandi will get another ring. Now, on to the year ending awards. In the North-South, I think Robert Henderson gets another Big Stick award, and in the East-West, I'm going with Robert Gennari. Tony?

 

kornheiser_tony_l.jpg

 

Henderson's a good choice, but I think Neall Isaacson will edge him out towards the end of the year. In the East-West, Keith Mugan will put up some numbers and. As for the Rocket Wrist, I really like Peter Kostka in the East-West. He's out for a bit with an injury, but I think he'll come back strong. As for North-South, I like Claudio Galaviz.

 

wilbon_mike_l.jpg

 

Kostka? He's good, but doesn't have numbers like mah boy, "Err'body in da Club Gettin" Tipsy Gesner! Gesner's an ace, and he'll continue being an ace for the rest of the season. In the North-South, I like Galaviz' teammate, Eugene Viljoen. Time to see what we messed up on. Stat Boy?

 

i_reali_m.jpg

 

Kostka has a lower ERA than "Err'body in da Club Gettin" Tipsy, he's just lacking in wins.

 

kornheiser_tony_l.jpg

 

Happy Time! Happy Trails, Giant Gonazles. The Charlotte Harlots released you after you refused minor league assignments. Thoughts on the big man, Wilbon?

 

wilbon_mike_l.jpg

 

Eh, he was a mediocre pitcher. Had a few good seasons, but probably twice as many bad ones, not to mention a boat-load of injuries. Way past his prime, though, should have retired a few years ago. I doubt any team will pick him up. Nobody's that desperate.

SFBL

August 2019

 

Best Team in August: The Boston Tea Baggers, who went 18-9 in the month, took the lead in the East Division from the New York Bums, and is currently enjoying a two game lead over the Philadelphia Freedom going into the final month of the season.

 

Worst Team in August: The Las Vegas Jokers, who went from 2 games behind Boston and Philadelphia in the wildcard at the end of July to now 12 games behind. Las Vegas went a miserable 6-21, including a 14-game losing streak that is still in progress, going from second place to way back in fourth place, twenty games behind Seattle and definitely losing hope for a playoff berth.

 

Transactions:

 

NONE!

He suffered a serious injury in a game against Las Vegas where he left the field in the 6th inning.

August 2019

 

Best Team in August: The Boston Tea Baggers, who went 18-9 in the month, took the lead in the East Division from the New York Bums, and is currently enjoying a two game lead over the Philadelphia Freedom going into the final month of the season.

 

Batters - This Month:

10) Christian Fury (.220, 2 HR, 18 RBI, 15 R, 20 H, 8 2B, 0 3B, 7 SB, 12 BB)

 

Batters - Overall:

13) Christian Fury (.248, 17 HR, 86 RBI, 72 R, 113 H, 41 2B, 2 3B, 19 SB, 50 BB) (-2)

 

RECORD TRACKER

 

Doubles

TSM - Yes (Logan Caldwell and Christian Fury, on pace for 49 and 52, respectively) [48]

 

CHANGE IN ROLES

 

Christian Fury - playing first base for the Tea Baggers, batting fifth against right-handed pitchers and left-handed pitchers.

Heh... Yes, the Tea Baggers are starting to own people now... Much happiness...

 

And I guess my rookie season is just not the season for anything resembling consistency. Already thinking about what I'll be working on in Spring Training...

 

Warning track power still owns you.

 

And again with the middle of the lineup against both paws. I don't know, but it almost seems like I hit better from the leadoff spot. I'm not going to force any lineup changes just yet though. We'll see what we can do in the offseason, and maybe we'll just grow into the role.

Well, I am not surprised to see that Montreal is among the bottom in fan interest, with only KC having a lower rating. Get ready to move them, Evo.

 

Also, the team info stuff is awesome. Possibly expect a better, more in-depth PTI-esque segment later in the season as the playoffs get even closer.

Cobin's now a backup on Denver's Major lineup? What... did someone get injured or are they just taking pity on him?

They expanded their roster for the final month of the season, and Corbin was good enough to be on the 40-man roster.

Tuesday, September 11th, 2019:

Along with his 500 homeruns, RJ collected 2684 hits and 1793 RBI in 15 seasons. RJ hit 30+ homeruns in a season 7 times, hitting 40 bombs or more 3 times. 'Wow. That is all I can say now.

Saturday, September 15th, 2019:

 

Carlos Desantis stars with 500th career homerun

 

ATLANTA - Atlanta's first baseman Carlos Desantis was in a good mood after the game against Columbus, and he had every reason as he made baseball history while collecting his 500th career homerun. He hit number 500 in the 1st inning, a shot estimated at 416 feet which cleared the wall in left field. In 16 years of big league action so far, Carlos has compiled a batting average of .323, along with 3170 hits and 1775 RBI. Carlos has managed to hit 30+ homeruns in a season 9 times, and he topped 40 homeruns 3 times. 'I'm out of words. I'll probably realize it tomorrow, but for now I'm done.' The Hall of Fame already has reserved a place for this great player.

Wow... Just call me Mister Fall.

 

BA up 135 points... And it looks like I finally found that little extra to get 'em over the wall! Traded 6 doubles for 4 homers and 3 triples... I'll take it!

 

All in all, not a bad rookie season, if I do say so myself.

I don't get it... LA seems to have everything it takes to put together a good run, but always finishes short some how.

BALTIMORE CRIME SPREE VS SEATTLE FRASIERS

2019 SFBL EAST-WEST PLAYOFFS

 

GAME 1 - Baltimore proved that they were no slouches as they were in control of the game from the first inning on, finishing with a 7-3 victory in Game 1 on the power of Javin Brodman's 2-for-4, 2 RBI performance. Charlie Matthews went 0-for-1, appearing in the game as a pinch-hitter. RJ Frost went 1-for-4. "Destiny" Fabio Mercurio pitched a complete game for the Crime Spree, earning himself his first victory in the postseason in two starts. BALTIMORE 7, SEATTLE 3

 

GAME 2 - Eric LeBeau was roughed up by the Frasiers early, as they eventually evened the best-of-seven series at one game a piece with a 6-3 victory over the Crime Spree. LeBeau gave up five runs, three of them earned, on six hits, striking out one batter and walking two in two and two-thirds innings pitched. Eric LeBeau is 3-4 all-time in the postseason. Charlie Matthews did not play, and RJ Frost went 2-for-3, hitting a solo homerun in the sixth inning for his lone RBI and scoring two runs total himself. BALTIMORE 3, SEATTLE 6

 

GAME 3 - Baltimore piled on the runs late and was able to keep the Frasiers from scoring as they came back from 4-2 to win 7-5 and take a two-games-to-one advantage in the best-of-seven series. RJ Frost went 2-for-4 in the losing effort, scoring once and driving in his second RBI of the postseason. Charlie Matthews came into the game as a pinch runner, but was caught stealing. Eric LeBeau was also involved in this game two days after his first postseason start of the year, as he was a pinch runner for Matthew Welke, later scoring in the inning thanks to a Peter Savant double. Eric LeBeau was then the rightfielder in the top of the ninth, as he showed some versatility in the field...by not having a single ball hit to him in the inning. Oh well. SEATTLE 5, BALTIMORE 7

 

GAME 4 - RJ Frost went 1-for-6, scoring twice and driving in one run with his solo homerun in the sixth inning. That gave Seattle a 4-0 lead, but Baltimore tied the game with a four-run seventh inning. The game dragged on into the 13th inning, until Seattle finally was able to get a RBI single that turned out to be the game-winning run as Seattle took Game 4 by a score of 5-4. Charlie Matthews came into the game late for Peter Savant, and went 0-for-1 in his only at-bat of the game. SEATTLE 5, BALTIMORE 4

 

GAME 5 - Eric LeBeau was once again shelled by Seattle, and this time, Mr. Wonderful was unable to get out of the first inning. His not-so-wonderful performance spoke volumes for Baltimore's performance all day, as they were defeated 8-5 as the Frasiers will go back to Microsoft Field with two chances to eliminate the Crime Spree. RJ Frost went 1-for-4, scoring two runs. Charlie Matthews did not play. SEATTLE 8, BALTIMORE 5

 

GAME 6 - Baltimore was finally finished off today, a lot later than people expected but still finished off, as Seattle won 5-1 and advanced to the Conference Championship. RJ Frost went 1-for-4 with an RBI, and Charlie Matthews once again did not play, as his season comes to an end. BALTIMORE 1, SEATTLE 5

 

BOSTON TEA BAGGERS VS NEW YORK BUMS

2019 SFBL EAST-WEST PLAYOFFS

 

GAME 1 - Tim Neal won a pitcher's duel, as Boston was able to scrap together two runs in the top of the ninth to break a 2-2 tie and give them a 4-2 victory in Game 1. Christian Fury went 0-for-2, but was walked twice and scored a run for each walk, as well as recording two stolen bases. Adam West went 1-for-4 with a strikeout. BOSTON 4, NEW YORK 2

 

GAME 2 - Josh Wisely slammed a walkoff two-run homerun in the eleventh inning, as the Bums were able to outlast the Tea Baggers in a near five-hour marathon by the score of 8-6. Frigid Soul ultimately winded up with a no-decision in a poor outing. He allowed five runs on six hits, walked five and struck out six in five innings of work. Rookie Christian Fury is still hitless in the postseason, as he went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts. Adam West went 1-for-6, scoring one run. BOSTON 6, NEW YORK 8

 

GAME 3 - Christian Fury broke his hitless slump in a big way, as he went 2-for-5, scoring once and driving in three runs, including a two-run homerun in the third inning, as Boston went on to take Game 3 by a score of 9-7 and take a two-games-to-one lead in the series. Adam West also went 2-for-5, but only scored once. "Flyboy" also stole his first base of the postseason. NEW YORK 7, BOSTON 9

 

GAME 4 - New York's three runs in the top of the first were more than enough for them to get the victory and even up the best-of-seven series at two games a piece. Adam West went 1-for-5 with an RBI thanks to his two-out double in the sixth inning that gave New York a 3-1 lead, which is what the score would be at the conclusion of the game. Christian Fury went 1-for-4 with a meaningless double. NEW YORK 4, BOSTON 1

 

GAME 5 - Frigid Soul put on a clinic, pitching seven innings of three-hit baseball en route to his first postseason victory as a pitcher, as New York destroyed Boston 6-0 and put them on the ropes for Game 6. Adam West went 1-for-5, scoring once and stealing his second base of the postseason. Christian Fury's season is quickly coming to a disappointing ending, as he went hitless once again in this game. NEW YORK 6, BOSTON 0

 

GAME 6 - The Bums sent the Tea Baggers packing in embarrassing fashion as they destroyed Boston 17-3, including a five run first inning and a ten run third inning that absolutely decimated Boston's bullpen. Christian Fury went 1-for-4, scoring once. Adam West had a great day, going 3-for-5 with three runs scored and a walk as his batting average for the postseason is sitting pretty at .300. BOSTON 3, NEW YORK 17

 

INDIANAPOLIS IGNITION VS JACKSONVILLE JACKOFFS

2019 SFBL NORTH-SOUTH PLAYOFFS

 

GAME 1 - Jacksonville lit up the Ignition for 14 runs on 14 hits as they marched to an easy Game 1 victory by a final score of 15-4. Eugene Widrick went 1-for-4 with 6 RBI and a walk, as Widrick hit a GRAND SLAM homerun in the sixth inning. Winston Ghandi went 1-for-2, drawing three walks with one RBI, and scoring twice himself. INDIANAPOLIS 4, JACKSONVILLE 15

 

GAME 2 - The Jackoffs were all dried up offensively, and Indianapolis was able to sneak by with a close 3-2 victory to even up the best-of-seven series. Allen Higginbotham hit a two-out single in the top of the ninth inning to bring in the game-winning run for the Ignition. Winston Ghandi went 0-for-3, drawing his fourth walk of the postseason. INDIANAPOLIS 3, JACKSONVILLE 2

 

GAME 3 - Winston Ghandi hit a solo homerun in the fourth inning, one of the last runs scored in Jacksonville's 8-4 romp over the Ignition. Jacksonville scored 5 runs in the top of the first inning and did not look back. Ghandi went 1-for-3, drawing two more walks to make it six total in the postseason, as he also scored twice. JACKSONVILLE 8, INDIANAPOLIS 4

 

GAME 4 - Ramon Razo rebounded from a terrible outing in Game 1, shutting down Jacksonville in Game 4 with a dominating seven inning performance as Indianapolis trounced Jacksonville 6-1. Winston Ghandi was hitless in four at-bats, actually failing to draw a walk in this game. Valentin Robbins hit a GRAND SLAM homerun in the third inning that was more than enough to dispatch the Jackoffs. JACKSONVILLE 1, INDIANAPOLIS 6

 

GAME 5 - Indianapolis seems poised for a postseason shocker as they have set the stage for a potential Jacksonville elimination in Game 6, winning Game 5 by a score of 5-1. Winston Ghandi went walk-less again today, but also was able to get two hits in four at-bats, both of those hits doubles but neither of those hits able to bring in any runs for the Jackoffs. JACKSONVILLE 1, INDIANAPOLIS 5

 

GAME 6 - The Ignition finished their shocking upset over the Jackoffs with a 8-4 victory in Game 6, eliminating Jacksonville from the playoffs. Winston Ghandi was able to draw a walk in this game, but went hitless in his three official at-bats. INDIANAPOLIS 8, JACKSONVILLE 4

 

NEW JERSEY CLERKS VS COLUMBUS PRIDE

2019 SFBL NORTH-SOUTH PLAYOFFS

 

GAME 1 - Columbus struck big with three runs in the first inning and six in the second inning, and they never had to look back as they were able to get a fairly easy 11-8 victory. Bill Anschitz went 4-for-4 on the Clerks' side, but only was able to muster one RBI and two runs scored from his performance. Meanwhile, Jonathan Dehn and the Pride knocked Miguel Moldonado off the mound before the end of the second inning. Dehn went 1-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored. Ben Cruz hit two solo homeruns in the game en route to a 3-for-5 day, scoring thrice and driving in three runs. NEW JERSEY 8, COLUMBUS 11

 

GAME 2 - Nigel McClain had a fairly average outing, but that was all that was necessary as Columbus' offense remains explosive in a 10-6 victory in Game 2 over the Clerks. McClain allowed three runs--two of them earned--on three hits, striking out seven and walking three in five and two-thirds innings. Nigel is now 5-5 in the postseason all-time. Jonathan Dehn went 2-for-4, scoring once and driving in a run as well with a walk; Ken Coutu was the true hero as he went 2-for-4, scoring three times and driving in four runs with a three-run homerun in the eighth inning accounting for most of his offense today. NEW JERSEY 6, COLUMBUS 10

 

GAME 3 - New Jersey spoiled any hopes for a sweep bid by the Pride as they defeated Columbus by a score of 3-1. Jonathan Dehn went hitless with a strikeout, as Boris Pacheco silenced the hot bats of the Pride. Columbus scored their only run in the top of the ninth, but was able to get no more. COLUMBUS 1, NEW JERSEY 3

 

GAME 4 - The Pride bats were back in full swing for Game 4, as Neall Isaacson's three-run homerun propelled Columbus to a 7-2 victory, as New Jersey finds themselves on the brink of elimination in their own stadium with Game 5 on the horizon. Jonathan Dehn went 2-for-5 with 2 RBI and a double. COLUMBUS 7, NEW JERSEY 2

 

GAME 5 - Nigel McClain became the first TSM player in history to strike out fifteen or more batters in a game, as he got 15 Clerks swinging in New Jersey's final game of the season, a 4-1 loss to the Pride. Nigel allowed one run on four hits, striking out 15 of the 27 batters that he faced in six and two-thirds innings. The strikeout total in a game is a career high for "Scrooge." Jonathan Dehn will be moving on to the next round of the playoffs with a .261 batting average, as he went 1-for-5 in the final game of this series, scoring one run and driving in one of his own with a solo homerun in the seventh inning. COLUMBUS 4, NEW JERSEY 1

SEATTLE FRASIERS VS NEW YORK BUMS

2019 SFBL EAST-WEST CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP

 

GAME 1

 

Frigid Soul (NY) vs. Tipsy Gesner (SEA)

 

Frigid Soul had a good thing going, but a rain delay in the fourth inning made his arm loose its fire all too soon. Fortunately, the New York Bums' bullpen picked up the slack and carried the excellent performance from Soul in the first five and two-thirds innings and took it home, as the Bums blanked the Frasiers 5-0.

 

Following the top of the fourth, the rain started pouring down. "Mr. Uncalled For," pitching what was looking to be an ace of a game, instead was stuck in the dugout, trying to keep himself warm. Once the tarps were rolled off the field, Soul obviously wasn't the same--the leadoff batter for Seattle in the bottom of the fourth ripped a double to the gap in left-center to break up any chance of a no-hitter. Soul lasted until just before the ending of the sixth inning, however, when he showed visible signs of fatigue.

 

Nevertheless, Soul had met the requirements for a win and the bullpen held up the lead, keeping him undefeated in postseason play at 2-0 this year.

 

As for Tipsy Gesner, he had trouble in the third inning and didn't make it past the fifth inning after beaning Stephen Tampke with an inside fastball that went far too inside. This disappointing outing from Gesner leaves him at 0-2 this postseason, looking like a shell of his former self just weeks ago during the regular season.

 

Adam West (.294/0/1) went 1-for-4 on the day, scoring once, stealing his fourth base of the postseason and getting caught stealing for the first time in this postseason.

 

R.J. Frost (.286/2/4) was hitless in three at-bats, as was most of the other Frasiers. In fact, Seattle was only able to muster a total of three hits off Frigid Soul and those backing him in the bullpen.

 

NEW YORK 5, SEATTLE 0

New York leads series 1-0

 

SCORING SUMMARY

 

NEW YORK 3RD: Josh Wisley doubledto right, Adam West scored; Eduardo Lizana singled to left, Wisley scored; Joe Colopy doubled to right, Lizana scored.

 

NEW YORK 5TH: Joe Colopy doubled to right-center, Josh Wisley scored.

WP: Frigid Soul (2-0, 5 2/3 IP, 1 HA, 0 ER, 2 BB, 4 Ks)

LP: Tipsy Gesner (0-2, 4 2/3 IP, 7 HA, 4 ER, 2 BB, 5 Ks)

Time of Game: 3 hours, 16 minutes

Player of the Game: Frigid Soul (2-0 all-time in the postseason)

Notes: 48 minute rain delay in fourth inning.

 

GAME 2

 

Dan White (NY) vs. Osvaldo Gallardo (SEA)

 

Perhaps feeling waterlogged from last night's game, both teams weren't able to really get started until the late innings. And Seattle was the team that truly got on the ball...and crushed it out of the park, too.

 

The Frasiers scored five runs in their three final chances at the plate, and tied the best-of-seven series at one game a piece with a 6-2 victory over the Bums.

 

Gallardo had the most significant contribution on either team, as he was able to sustain nine hits over six and two-thirds innings and only allow one earned run, while striking out four. This earned him the Player of the Game honor, as he is another pitcher who remains undefeated at 3-0. Raul Carrera also had extended duty, coming in the game with one out in the eighth inning and pitching out, truly earning his third save of the postseason. As for Seattle's offense, RJ Frost (.281/2/6) was the RBI leader, driving in two runs with his sixth inning double with two runners on. That was his only hit of the day in four tries, as he later scored in the eighth inning.

 

Dan White pitched a slightly below-average game, as he simply allowed too many runs in his seven innings of work, despite allowing the same number of hits that Osvaldo did. His record falls to 1-1 with his 109 pitches in the loss. Adam West (.282/0/2) drove in the final run of the game for the Bums with his only hit of the day, a single to left that scored Andrew Reina, but with two outs in the inning, the comeback was very unlikely and sure enough, Antonio Frades flied out to right-center in the very next at-bat.

 

NEW YORK 2, SEATTLE 6

Series tied 1-1

 

SCORING SUMMARY

 

SEATTLE 1ST: Oscar Ortiz doubled to left, Gilles Godinez scored.

 

NEW YORK 6TH: Stephen Tampke doubled to left, Joe Colopy scored.

 

SEATTLE 6TH: RJ Frost doubled to left-center, Oscar Ortiz and Santi Alfonso scored.

 

SEATTLE 7TH: Fred Thomas homered to right-center.

 

SEATTLE 8TH: Jorge Monarrez singled to center, RJ Frost scored; Mike Barnwell singled to right, Artrell Clerk scored.

 

NEW YORK 9TH: Adam West singled to left, Andrew Reina scored.

 

WP: Osvaldo Gallardo (3-0, 6 2/3 IP, 9 HA, 1 ER, 0 BB, 4 Ks)

LP: Dan White (1-1, 7 IP, 9 HA, 4 ER, 2 BB, 6 Ks)

S: Raul Carrera (3)

Time of Game: 3 hours, 17 minutes

Player of the Game: Osvaldo Gallardo (3-5 all-time in the postseason)

Notes: None.

 

GAME 3

 

Jose Ayala (SEA) vs. Garry Minkel (NY)

 

New York figured that they had it made when they crushed Jose Ayala for four runs in the bottom of the fourth, but they weren't counting on the Frasiers staging a comeback in their quest to add another championship to their trophy case.

 

Seattle eventually tied the game back up at five runs a piece with two runs in the top of the seventh, and forced New York to come up with some heroics to regain the lead. Pinch hitter Moses Blanchfield turned out to be their hero, as he hit a very clutch double with one out in the bottom of the ninth and the game tied at five, bringing home pinch runner David Perrenoud to win the game for New York and give them the 2-games-to-one advantage in the best-of-seven series!

 

Adam West (.256/0/2) had a hard day, and certainly wouldn't have been a good candidate to save the day for the Bums, as he went hitless in four at-bats. RJ Frost (.278/2/7) drove in his seventh RBI of the postseason with a sacrifice grounder, but only managed one hit on the day himself.

 

SEATTLE 5, NEW YORK 6

New York leads series 2-1

 

SCORING SUMMARY

 

NEW YORK 2ND: Andrew Reina grounded into fielder's choice to the shortstop, Joe Colopy scored.

 

SEATTLE 3RD: Gilles Godinez singled to right, Jorge Monarrez scored.

 

NEW YORK 4TH: Andrew Reina singled to left-center, Eduardo Lizana scored; Tike Quadros doubled to left-center, Stephen Tampke, Glynn Kortkamp and Andrew Reina scored.

 

SEATTLE 6TH: RJ Frost grounded out to the second baseman, Oscar Ortiz scored; Martin Abad flied out to left-center, Santi Alfonso scored.

 

SEATTLE 7TH: Dan Downey homered to right, Fred Thomas scored.

Player of the Game: Andrew Reina (2-for-4, 1 R, 2 RBI, K)

Notes: None.

 

GAME 4

 

Tipsy Gesner (SEA) vs. Frigid Soul (NY)

 

Frigid Soul once again dominated the Frasiers, taking no prisoners as Seattle was held to only three hits in a combined effort from Soul and the Bums' bullpen, as New York scored late in the game, but early enough to take a 3-0 victory and put Seattle on the edge of elimination with the final game in Maytag Cardboard Stadium approaching.

 

Frigid allowed no runs on two hits, striking out six batters and walking three as he improved to 3-0 with his six and two-thirds innings performance. Tipsy Gesner had a much better performance than last time, but still ended up on the short end of the stick, falling to 0-3 in the postseason and looking like a flop against the New York offense.

 

RJ Frost (.275/2/7) had another day on offense, going 1-for-4; even though he was one of three Frasiers who were able to get a hit off the New York pitching.

 

Adam West (.277/0/2) fared much better, as the "Flyboy" went 2-for-4, hitting a double in the first inning as one of his two hits. Unfortunately, Adam West was caught trying to steal his fifth base of the postseason, only the second time that that has happened to him in this postseason.

 

SEATTLE 0, NEW YORK 3

New York leads series 3-1

 

SCORING SUMMARY

 

NEW YORK 6TH: Josh Wisley doubled to right-center, Antonio Frades scored; Eduardo Lizana singled to center, Wisley scored.

 

NEW YORK 8TH: Stephen Tampke walked, Antonio Frades scored.

 

WP: Frigid Soul (3-0, 6 2/3 IP, 2 HA, 0 ER, 3 BB, 6 Ks)

LP: Tipsy Gesner (0-3, 6 2/3 IP, 7 HA, 2 ER, 0 BB, 6 Ks)

S: R.W. Domenico (1)

Time of Game: 3 hours, 15 minutes

Player of the Game: Frigid Soul (threw 57 of his 98 pitches for strikes)

Notes: Gilles Godinez was ejected in the first inning for arguing a strike three call.

 

GAME 5

 

Osvaldo Gallardo (SEA) vs. Dan White (NY)

 

Facing potential elimination on the road and a 5-2 deficit in the eighth inning, Seattle decided that they wanted to keep playing some baseball. And so they collected four runs in a miracle eighth inning, which included two two-out triples, including a rare triple and the first postseason triple ever for RJ Frost, that gave Seattle a 6-5 lead and eventually a win in Game 5, as Seattle would have a chance to force a Game 7 at home with a win in Game 6 at Microsoft Field.

 

RJ Frost (.295/2/8) earned an RBI for that triple in the eighth inning, his second hit of the night in four at-bats. The very next batter was Martin Abad, who drove Frost home with a single.

 

Adam West (.255/0/2) went hitless as New York clearly dropped the ball in a chance to knock Seattle out of the playoffs and advance to the SFBL Championship.

 

SEATTLE 6, NEW YORK 5

New York leads series 3-2

 

SCORING SUMMARY

 

NEW YORK 2ND: Eduardo Lizana homered to center.

 

SEATTLE 3RD: Gilles Godinez singled to right-center, Fred Thomas scored.

 

NEW YORK 5TH: Tike Quadros reached base on an error by the rightfielder, Glynn Kortkamp scored.

Time of Game: 3 hours, 30 minutes

Player of the Game: Stephen Tampke (2-for-4, 1 R, 3 RBI, three-run homerun in the sixth inning)

Notes: None.

 

GAME 6

 

Garry Minkel (NY) vs. Jose Ayala (SEA)

 

Garry Minkel was considered very lucky to escape through the first inning without getting yanked by New York management.

 

Once again facing elimination, Seattle let there be no doubt that they were going to fight until the end, using the power of their fans to generate some serious slugging power, as Seattle hit nine doubles as a team en route to an amazing 14-3 victory over the Bums, forcing a Game 7 at Microsoft Field.

 

Adam West (.255/0/2) went 1-for-4 with a double, but nothing more.

 

RJ Frost (.327/2/9), on the other hand, had a very fine day, going 3-for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI. Two of those three hits were doubles, as Seattle simply could not be kept from hitting doubles all over Microsoft Field.

 

Jorge Monarrez was the star of the game, however, as he went an amazing 6-for-6, scoring three times and driving in three runs as he only hit ONE double. His other five singles generated most of the RBI and runs that he ended up producing.

 

NEW YORK 3, SEATTLE 14

Series tied 3-3

 

SCORING SUMMARY

 

SEATTLE 1ST: Oscar Ortiz doubled to left, Jorge Monarrez and Mike Barnwell scored; Santi Alfonso grounded out to the second baseman, Gilles Godinez scored; RJ Frost doubled to left, Ortiz scored.

COLUMBUS PRIDE VS INDIANAPOLIS IGNITION

2019 SFBL NORTH-SOUTH CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP

 

GAME 1

 

Ramon Razo (IND) vs. Yosy Valdez (COL)

 

The Ignition scored early on Yosy, leaving the #1 pitcher for the Pride worried as he continued to pitch nonetheless, pitching a good game aside from that one blemish. When Columbus took the lead by putting up two runs in the bottom of the fifth, the pressure had shifted over to Ramon Razo, who to that point was pitching a very fine game himself. At the end of the seventh inning, Razo insisted on going on...until he saw Indianapolis put a run on the board in the top of the eighth. Razo decided that he could live with the no-decision as opposed to the loss, and took a seat on the bench as Raymon Dunklee came in to try and keep the game tied and give the Ignition a chance to win the game.

 

Unfortunately, Dunklee was no good against the Pride, allowing two runs in the bottom of the eighth off two two-out doubles, failing to get that third out and paying dearly for it. From there, Yosy Valdez allowed Jose Lopez to come in and shut the door tight. Lopez did so, and Columbus claimed victory in Game 1 by a score of 4-2. It was very true that Columbus had underestimated Indianapolis' drive, but they had gotten the best of them in this game.

 

Jonathan Dehn (.269/1/5) went 1-for-3, drawing a walk but otherwise doing nothing else of note. Yosy, meanwhile, continues an amazing postseason as his record increases to 3-0.

 

INDIANAPOLIS 2, COLUMBUS 4

Columbus leads series 1-0

 

SCORING SUMMARY

 

INDIANAPOLIS 1ST: Daren Scheetz doubled to left, Joe Larkin scored.

 

COLUMBUS 5TH: Mark Terry hit a sacrifice fly to left field, David Zearge scored; John Scherfenberg singled to right, Fabio Pena scored.

GAME 2

 

Mack Saberton (IND) vs. Nigel McClain (COL)

 

Any doubts of whether or not Indianapolis could hang with Columbus' explosive offensive were put to rest today as Indianapolis matched Columbus blow for blow. Eventually, Columbus was able to squeak out with a 10-9 tenth inning victory thanks to a RBI single from Ben Cruz that ended the game.

 

Eli "Magna" Cartagena was held to only one hit in his six at-bats in the game, but he used it to his advantage as he brought home a run with a triple off Nigel McClain in the first inning, earning his fifteenth RBI of the postseason--despite having not hit a single homerun. The offense came from other sources, such as George Salcido, who improved his postseason batting average to .600 with a 3-for-5 day, scoring once and driving in three runs with a three-run homerun off McClain in the fifth inning, a homerun that proved to be the undoing of Scrooge. Fortunately, his team struck back in the later innings, as both pitching staffs were ravaged by this amazing show of run production.

 

When it was all said and done, Columbus had come up with ninteen hits, ten runs, and the victory, while Indianapolis had nine runs on fourteen hits. Nevertheless, both teams earned respect for each other with this game, as many had predicted that Columbus would have an easy path to the SFBL Championship by steamrolling through the Ignition.

 

Nigel McClain's outing was a disgrace, as "Scrooge" was ousted in the beginning of the fifth inning, finishing with four innings pitched, five earned runs on five hits, walking one batter and striking out three while allowing one homerun. Jonathan Dehn (.344/1/7) had a great day, improving his average quite a bit with a 4-for-6 day, scoring three times and driving in two runs. Dehn hit two doubles in the game, but surprisingly didn't steal a single base. Ken Coutu was the Player of the Game, however, with a 3-for-6 day, scoring once and driving in FOUR runs, mostly thanks to a three-run homerun in the fourth inning, his second dinger of the postseason. Batting champ Neall "The Monster" Isaacson went 2-for-4, with two solo homeruns.

GAME 3

 

Joseph Mason (COL) vs. Ryan Smith (IND)

 

After being barely outslugged by Columbus in Game 2, Indianapolis kept the heat on Columbus, and with the help of Ryan Smith, Indianapolis crushed Columbus 9-1, ending the chance for a Columbus sweep that many predicted wasn't feasible anyway.

 

Columbus was held to only two hits in the game, as David Zearge was able to drive in a run on a sacrifice fly as the only run of the game. Jonathan Dehn (.306/1/7) knew there was no shame in going hitless in four at-bats...this was definitely not the Pride's night.

 

Smith allowed only one earned run on one hit in six and one-third innings, striking out five and walking four while throwing 103 pitches, which proved to be his undoing. He did improve to 2-1 with the victory, however. Joseph Mason, on the other hand, continues his consecutive losing decision streak, having lost five decisions in a row.

GAME 4

 

Yosy Valdez (COL) vs. Ramon Razo (IND)

 

With this game, not only did Indianapolis win to even the series at two games a piece, but they destroyed Columbus once again, as Ramon Razo was simply stunning in a complete game performance that rates as one of the best performances in this entire season, not just the postseason.

 

Razo allowed no runs on four hits as Columbus ended up shutout 7-0 in Game 4, Columbus fans back home in Ohio panicking that the Ignition, who were once considered underdogs, are now having the scales tip in their favor, especially at their home in Ford Stadium.

 

Amazingly, three of Columbus' four hits came from the bat of Jonathan Dehn (.350/1/7), who went 3-for-4 on the day. Unfortunately, at the leadoff position, he simply didn't have any baserunners, as the two doubles that he did hit in the game were with no one on base. Dehn was also caught stealing for the first time in the postseason. The only other hit came from Nathan Smith.

 

As for Indianapolis, Eli "Magna" Cartagena is approaching 20 RBI in the postseason, as he earned another two RBI in this game on a 1-for-4 day, increasing his total to 17 RBI when he hit the first homerun of this postseason. Cartagena almost has double the RBI total of the next person on his team, Valentin Robbins, who is currently batting .225 with two homeruns and nine RBI in the postseason.

 

Yosy Valdez fell to 3-1 in the postseason as he allowed four runs on eight hits, throwing 110 pitches before finally leaving in the seventh inning, battered and defeated with Columbus showing very few signs of life. Razo, on the other hand, did not pass the 100 pitch mark, getting 10 ground balls and 12 fly balls in the game that lasted just under three hours.

Notes: None.

 

GAME 5

 

Nigel McClain (COL) vs. Mark Saberton (IND)

 

A third straight victory for the Indianapolis Ignition was overshadowed by a terrible injury that occured during the top of the second. After lacing a double to the gap in right-center, Ben Cruz rounded first and was headed for second as Teyo Mayem retrieved the ball. Mayem chucked the ball, and with his arm, it was able to get to the second baseman in fairly quick time. Cruz knew he had to slide, but his reaction time was just a little bit delayed, and as he dove in for the feet-first slide to beat the tag, he hit at an awkward angle and had an abrupt slide into second base. He was declared safe, but Cruz immediately called for time as he assumingly wanted to brush the dirt off of his uniform. Unfortunately, as Cruz went to get to his feet, he immediately collapsed down to the ground as the crowd was stunned into silence and the Columbus coach immediately rushed out with the team doctor to check on Cruz.

 

Instant replays of the slide showed that Cruz' right foot hit at such an angle that it was sharply bent in the other direction, away from second base, as Cruz' left foot hit second base before the tag, remaining on the bag as the bad right leg followed behind with sharp pain. Ignition second baseman Lewis Nicholson stayed by Cruz the entire time as a gurney was brought out onto the field, loading Cruz onto it and carrying him off the field about ten minutes later as Columbus' coach turned to the Indy crowd and flashed a thumbs up, as the sold-out crowd in Ford Stadium reacted warmly to the good news that Cruz was going to be injured, but otherwise alright.

 

Columbus scored a moral victory when the next batter, Neall Isaacson, roped a single to left-center, scoring Dustin Garlock, who was Ben Cruz' replacement. Unfortunately for the Pride, that was the one of the only runs that Columbus would be able to score. Nigel McClain advanced to the seventh inning before getting shelled for three runs in that inning and eventually leaving, having given up five runs on ten hits. Columbus eventually went on to lose its third consecutive game by a score of 5-3, as Indianapolis has come out of nowhere, and now has a chance to embarrass Columbus at home with a win in Game 6.

 

Many of the thoughts in the press conference after the game were with Ben Cruz and his terrible injury, however.

 

Jonathan Dehn (.378/1/8) had another fine game, going 3-for-5 with a double in the ninth inning that scored the final run for the Pride with two outs. He scored a run earlier in the game as well, and finally earned his first stolen base of the postseason.

 

Eli "Magna" Cartagena increased his RBI total to 18 on the postseason.

 

Nigel McClain falls to 2-1 in the postseason, as he threw 106 pitches, 65 of them for strikes before finally being pulled in what was a disappointing game for him.

Huge blow for Columbus' Cruz, career over

 

COLUMBUS - Columbus' first baseman Ben Cruz will have his career ended by surgery on an injury sustained in Game 5 of the North-South Conference Championship against Indianapolis. Cruz got to his feet after sliding into second base, but then immediately collapsed, causing a scary moment for his teammates and his Ignition opponents, alike. He had to be carried off the field. After x-rays were taken the diagnosis did not surprise many who saw the constant replays on TV: Cruz had sustained a broken foot. Surgery will be performed next week. Cruz has hit for a .236 average this season. He has 70 extra base hits along with 271 total bases, resulting in a .429 slugging percentage. Cruz had just signed a three-year extension worth $18.2 million dollars over those three seasons.

 

GAME 6

 

Ryan Smith (IND) vs. Joseph Mason (COL)

 

After hearing that their beloved teammate Ben Cruz had his career ended due to his injured foot, Columbus decided to dedicate the rest of this postseason to Cruz. And the motivation worked, as Indianapolis' three-game winning streak was ended by the Pride in convincing fashion as Columbus crushed the Ignition 12-3 to force a Game 7.

 

Joseph Mason broke his five decision losing streak, as he went eight innings, allowing only one earned run on six hits, improving his record to 1-2 and most importantly keeping the Pride from being eliminated...for the moment, anyway.

 

After a very impressive showing in Game 3, Ryan Smith fell apart, allowing seven runs--only two of them earned--on four hits, walking four and striking out one in only two innings of work. However, in those two measly innings he managed to throw 59 pitches, 33 of them for strikes. Nonetheless, he falls to 2-2 in the postseason as the Ignition are unable to deliver the knockout punch to the Pride with Columbus on the ropes.

 

Jonathan Dehn (.367/1/9) has cooled off slightly, but remains in it to win it, as he went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a walk. Neall Isaacson was the true star, as he is gaining on Eli Cartagena's mark of 18 RBI in the postseason. He went 2-for-3 with one run scored and four runs driven in, mostly thanks to his three-run homerun in the second inning that was merely the tip of the iceberg as far as scoring was concerned.

 

INDIANAPOLIS 3, COLUMBUS 12

SEATTLE FRASIERS VS INDIANAPOLIS IGNITION

2019 SFBL LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP

 

GAME 1

 

Mack Saberton (IND) vs. Osvaldo Gallardo (SEA)

 

Entering their first league championship in franchise history, the Indianapolis Ignition and Daren Scheetz took no prisoners.

 

Scheetz unloaded a three-run homerun in the top of the first inning before Osvaldo Gallardo could record a single out, and the rest was academic as Seattle suffered a crushing 9-4 defeat in the opening game of the SFBL Championship Series.

 

After being considered underdogs in previous playoff series against Jacksonville and Columbus, Indianapolis has now established themselves as a credible threat by turning one of the worst offenses in the regular season into a well-oiled machine in the postseason, led by Eli Cartagena's 19 RBI going into the final round, combined with pitching which has stayed consistently good throughout.

 

Although the RBI leader was not a factor in this game, three more Ignition players have now driven in 10 or more runs. Meanwhile, for the Frasiers, only one player has 10 or more RBI (Oscar Ortiz, 10).

 

R.J. Frost (.339/2/9) is the batting average leader of the Frasiers after his 2-for-4 performance. Aside from his fourth-inning double, however, he contributed nothing else to the team on this day.

 

Gallardo lasted two and two-thirds innings, allowing six runs on seven hits while only throwing 51 pitches as he suffered his first lost in the postseason so far. Mack Saberton remains undefeated at 2-0, as he had a fair outing, allowing three runs on seven hits in seven and one-third innings.

 

INDIANAPOLIS 9, SEATTLE 4

Indianapolis leads series 1-0

 

SCORING SUMMARY

 

INDIANAPOLIS 1ST: Teyo Mayem homered to right; Daren Scheetz homered to right, Lewis Nicholson and Joe Larkin scored.

 

INDIANAPOLIS 3RD: Valentin Robbins was thrown out at second by the leftfielder while trying to stretch a double into a triple, Daren Scheetz and Eli Cartagena scored.

 

SEATTLE 3RD: Fred Thomas doubled to left, Martin Abad scored; Jorge Monarrez singled to left, Thomas scored; Gilles Godinez grounded into a fielder's choice, Monarrez scored.

 

INDIANAPOLIS 6TH: Teyo Mayem doubled to right-center, Valentin Robbins and Martin Swingle scored; Lewis Nicholson singled to left, Mayem scored.

 

SEATTLE 9TH: Oscar Ortiz homered to left-center.

Player of the Game: Daren Scheetz (2-for-5, 2 R, 3 RBI, three-run homerun in first inning)

Notes: None.

 

GAME 2

 

Ryan Smith (IND) vs. Jose Ayala (SEA)

 

In Game 2, RJ Frost wanted to make sure that Seattle didn't go out quietly into that good night just yet.

 

The Velvet Hammer sent two three-run homeruns out of Microsoft Field to the delight of the sold-out crowd, as the Frasiers struck back in Game 2 with an 8-3 victory that evens the best-of-seven series for the SFBL Championship at one game a piece.

 

Frost (.356/4/15) went 2-for-3 with six RBI, all from the two homeruns in the game. The 37-year-old, who just celebrated his 500th career homerun, has proven that he can still hang with the best of them if he wishes.

 

In the other dugout, Eli Cartagena went 2-for-4 with an RBI in a losing effort, increasing his RBI total in the postseason to 20, an amazing feat considering that he has hit only one homerun in the postseason.

 

Ryan Smith continued a mediocre postseason on the mound with a terrible one and one-third inning performance tonight, falling to 2-3 after giving up five runs on five hits. Jose Ayala was in position to be the winning pitcher, but a 51 minute rain delay in the second inning hindered his chances of lasting past the fifth inning, and the Seattle coach decided wisely to keep Ayala somewhat fresh and not waste him in what seemed to be a sure win for Seattle.

GAME 3

 

Tipsy Gesner (SEA) vs. Ramon Razo (IND)

 

The big boys went out to the mound for Game 3, as Ramon Razo and Tipsy Gesner faced off. Despite Gesner's dismal record in the postseason to this point, many fans were aware that Gesner was possible of anything when he stepped foot on the rubber.

 

Unfortunately, he was capable of allowing four runs in six and two-thirds innings, as he suffered his fourth loss of the postseason and the Frasiers suffered even worse, held to a one-hitter by Ramon Razo and Dennis Desouza in a 4-0 victory for the Ignition.

 

The lone hit for Seattle in the game came in the fourth inning from Oscar Ortiz, who sliced a blooper single into left-center. Razo improved to 4-1 in a game that was all-Ignition from start to finish.

 

After a big Game 2 at home, the first game away from home for RJ Frost (.333/4/15) was not as good, as he went hitless in four at-bats.

 

SEATTLE 0, INDIANAPOLIS 4

Indianapolis leads series 2-1

 

SCORING SUMMARY

 

INDIANAPOLIS 2ND: Martin Swingle doubled to right, Valentin Robbins scored.

 

INDIANAPOLIS 7TH: Valentin Robbins homered to left-center, Daren Scheetz and Eli Cartagena scored.

Time of Game: 3 hours, 5 minutes

Player of the Game: Ramon Razo (2.08 postseason ERA)

Notes: Joe Larkin was ejected in the fourth inning for arguing a strike three call.

 

GAME 4

 

Osvaldo Gallardo (SEA) vs. Mack Saberton (IND)

 

Although Seattle got more hits in Game 4, nothing much else changed from Game 3. Seattle was shutout once again, 6-0, as Indianapolis has a chance to give their fans in Ford Stadium a big treat by winning the SFBL Championship in Game 5.

 

Thanks to four errors by the Frasiers--three of them by Mike Barnwell--none of the runs that Osvaldo Gallardo allowed were earned. RJ Frost (.328/4/15) doubled in the fifth inning, his only hit in four at-bats.

 

Valentin Robbins drove in two more runs in this game, increasing his RBI total to 17, as the possibility is now open that he could join Eli Cartagena as two players on the Ignition with 20 or more RBI.

 

Mack Saberton remains undefeated at 3-0, allowing seven hits in eight and one-third innings while striking out eight batters, throwing 92 pitches before being pulled in the last inning. With this victory, Saberton has won six consecutive decisions dating back to the closing moments of the regular season.

 

Gallardo loses his second consecutive decision, as he allows six runs--none of them earned--on seven hits in five innings.

Notes: Mack Saberton extends his winning streak to a career high six consecutive decisions!

 

GAME 5

 

Jose Ayala (SEA) vs. Ryan Smith (IND)

 

Still refusing to believe the hype surrounding the Ignition, Seattle shelled Ryan Smith and Indianapolis in a 10-6 victory, forcing Indianapolis to win the SFBL Championship at Microsoft Field.

 

RJ Frost (.333/6/17) was the star once again, as he drilled two homeruns, this time they were both solo homeruns, in a 2-for-5 day, as he now leads his team in batting average, homeruns and runs batted in in the postseason.

 

Seattle was down 3-0 until the top of the fourth inning, when they exploded for eight runs, including back-to-back-to-back homeruns early in the inning and back-to-back homeruns later in the inning, burning Ryan Smith with five homeruns total in the inning as Smith eventually had his record drop to 2-4 in the postseason.

 

Jose Ayala wasn't magnificent, but he didn't completely collapse when the chips were down, allowing three earned runs on five hits in seven innings as his record improved to 3-0 with the do-or-die win.

GAME 6

 

Ramon Razo (IND) vs. Tipsy Gesner (SEA)

 

As the SFBL Championship climbed into the month of November and the temperatures dropped to fifty-eight degrees inside Microsoft Field, Ramon Razo remained red hot.

 

While Tipsy Gesner didn't pitch the worst game of his life, it still wasn't good enough as Ramon Razo and the Indianapolis Ignition finished off a miracle postseason with a 2-1 victory, winning the SFBL Championship four games to two, the first league championship in franchise history.

 

In a fitting tribute to who was the leader on offense, Cartagena recorded the lone RBI with a sixth-inning double, his sixth double of the postseason and a hit that resulted in his twenty-first RBI of the postseason.

 

RJ Frost (.329/6/17) tried to keep his team in the game with two amazing games in the final series, but the Velvet Hammer is only one Velvet Hammer, and his efforts ultimately came to a close tonight as he went 1-for-4.

 

Ramon Razo pitched another fine game, improving his record to 5-1 as he allowed one run on seven hits in seven and one-third innings. Gesner allowed only two runs on four hits in six innings, but in the end, it was two runs too much.

Were I not a giant pit of lazy, I'd do another PTI segment thing. I should have done one at the end of the season, then at the end of each playoff round, but again, pit of lazy. Besides, the best (Well, actually first) pictures of Tony and Mike were of their jack-o-lanterned visages, and they were kinda big, too.

 

Congrats to another team that's made the post season and won the SFBL title (Or whatever we call it) before Atlanta. New Orleans, I've got my eye on you next...

 

Well, as Evo super-secretly told me, Giant Gonzales is retiring this year. I propose we burn his corpse. And then I'll bring in Tiny Gonzales, who will rock quite hard (I hope).
