Well that didn't work in game 1 or game 2 ;)
The big guns Okuta and Sepulveda put on a pitching masterclass in game 1 (a crucial match up in my books), with Jorge only giving up 1 hit in 8 innings, in fact only one base runner in 8 innings as NJ claims a vital 2-0 win at home in game 1.
That takes Jorge's record to 4-0 with a 0.77 ERA against WV this season.
Game 2 - 10 runs in the 7th inning after a Talley HR and a Geboyan triple ensures an easy win, despite reliever Benton coming on and giving up 4 in the 9th. Stan Craft with the win, giving up only 1 earned run in 7 innings.
On to WV for games 3 and 4 - Ron Pratt and Dave Boyer (5-0 in 5 starts against WV this year) will be on the mound for NJ.
NJ has exported and s ready to go when everybody else is.
-
WOW the 2 winning pitchers for texas played for Ontairo

There will be one series with a Game 5. File/reports are up and Statlab is updating currently.
We can continue when both teams are ready!
-
i was hoping that hector ortiz be ready for this playoffs but he had suffered a setback, what a surprise ... my disabled list is better than my starting lineup LOL
-
im ready matt!
-
I'll run Game 5 soon.
Colorado lost CL Eldon Baker for the playoffs in Game 3.
-
Dave Boyer gets the win in game 4 after WV won a tight one in game 3.
3B Josh Talley star of the series with 3 home runs and 8 ribbies.
Bring on North Carolina!
Currently I'm out and about so wont be able to get anything sorted/exported for the next round until later, at least an hour I'd guess.
Good luck to bith Texas ans Colorado in game 5.
-
Everything is updated (statslabbing now)! We have made to the League Championship Series. We can proceed whenever all 4 teams are ready to go or Monday morning at 6am CT.
Congrats to New Jersey and Texas for advancing!

NJ has exported and is ready, bring on the Aviators!!

I'll be ready in 4 weeks when Rory White is healthy.
Just kidding, NC is all set (the export does not show up as a new one but I'm all set, I exported prior to one of the WC sims).
-
NJ has exported and is ready, bring on the Aviators!!
I won't go so far as to wish you good luck, but I'll wish you good health. :)

This series will all come down to how well our top pitchers handle themselves - Leon v Sepulveda either head to head or not will be very important in the outcome.

4-3 in the 5th game between colorado and texas
i dont believe that im still in the fight for the title with all my injuries. im doing a lot of changes between the games because i havent enought pitchers for the starting rotation and in the bullpen the same. we are playing with a different closer every game and the same with the starters ...
lets go texas!

Agreed the TX-CO series was a strange one. The Texas bats got to Hunt and Bender in G1 and G2 then in G5 against Givens even with Colorado getting the tying run to the plate. Congrats again on advancing even with all the injuries.
We'll continue when Texas and Oregon are ready to go!

Gotta appreciate a scrappy team. Man down, man up. Someone steps up and helps the team win.
-
Getting close to the League Championship Series sim. Our boys traveled South to North Carolina a few days ago to aclimatise to the Southern air.
Most of our time has been spent doing things together, away from baseball, although rookie catcher Jeff Neilsen has been spending a heap of time in the pitcher's quarters. I'm not sure if he's discussing baseball or if they've got him in there for other weird rookie ritual stuff.
Anyway, our boys are as prepared as they will ever be. There is playoff experience in this group having been in this position last year, it should us in good stead.
-
LCS G1 and G2 coming up....
-
File/reports/Statslab for G1 and G2 are up! We'll continue whenever all 4 teams are ready or Wednesday morning at 6am CT.
-
NJ has exported and is ready, two 1 run losses to start the series either means we're in it and need some luck, or we're going down fast. Not sure what it is yet ;)
-
wilbert campbell and mccarty are almost ready to play but i cant put them in the active roster because the series have started ...
1-1 our series with a win if the first game but in the second one, my 21 YO pitcher cant stop oregon so ...
texas ready to go!
-
No injuries. I'm good to go.
-

23 K's in 2 games OUCH man

25k's when you add in the NC relievers... our equipment manager packed the invisible bats for the road trip, hopefully we're playing with cricket bats at home!
-
I'll continue whenever Chappy gives me the go ahead. No rush however.
-
Fantastic pitching from my two aces... let's see if we can keep it up, because we don't have to offense to hang with Jersey if we aren't pitching well.
I've got to sub a player in for my injured LF and then I'll be ready to go.
-
Okay, NC has exported and is ready to go.
-
It turns out my decision to drop a pitcher from the roster for an extra outfielder will pay off.
-
I hope to run the step section of the playoffs within the next hour or two.

Just to expand on the above post, I was not sure whether I should carry 10 or 11 pitchers during the postseason. I decided that I would go with 10, relegating my 4th and 5th starters to the bullpen and going with a 3 man rotation. With two guys with starter's endurance in the pen, the 11th arm would be unnecessary.
I replaced the 11th arm with an outfielder, which was very fortunate since I lost my starting LF for 1-2 weeks in game 1.

If my roster allows it, that's the way I like to do things too.

G3, G4, and if necessary G5 coming up next...
-
File/reports are updated through LCS G5. We can finish the LCS whenever the teams involved are ready to go!
Statslab coming in a bit.
-
:o
-
No changes for NC.
-
Statslab has been updated with the most recent sim.
-
NJ has exported and is ready - 3-2 down with 2 games left at NC, hopefully our bats can start firing as the NC pitchers have contained us really well this series so far.
-
PLCS Games 6 and 7 (if necessary) coming up!
-
File/reports have been updated! The Federation Championship Series can begin when both teams involved are ready to go or Wednesday morning. Congrats!

Well our bats finally came to the party in game 6 as we hit 4 home runs, it still went to extra innings though where Garlez and Cooper both hit home runs in the 11th to give us a 4 run lead in what was yet another really tight game.
Game 7 was back to tight pitching and yet another 1 run game... 2-1 the result....
Congrats to NC and may they go on to win the AFBL Championship
-
What a back and forth LCS! Nail biter in game 7.

Yeah I was going to start an unrested Sepulveda in Game 7 but thought Boyer would do they job, and really he did his job, the NC pitchers just controlled our hitters really well in that game.
-
we are ready!!!
wilbert campbell and glen mcarthy are healthy for these series but i dont know if they will be playing very well after their long injury ... fingers crossed
good luck chappy!!

Getting some of that bad luck back with some star players returning from injury ;D. Good timing 8)
-
Good series, mike z. I didn't think I'd win if you forced a game 7, so I am letting out a huge sigh of relief. I think I am now 2-0 vs NJ in the postseason, which is odd because they own NC during the regular season.
It looks like Hughes is out three more days so go ahead and sim. I'll need to export prior to game three though.
-
I'll begin the FCS shortly...

Thanks. Here's to a healthy series!

File/reports are up for FCS G1 and G2. Statslab coming up...
-
I won't be able to export until tomorrow am around 7:30. Left my computer at work. Good series so far!

No worries!
-

I'm still far far away from a healthy team. Montoya (SP/RP), Jackson (CL) and Ortiz (RP) are out but at least some players are ready to play again
wilkerson had a bad day in the first game of the series but fujita had a good one in the second so, the series are welcome to texas where the isotopes are 6-0 this postseason ;D

Yeah it was a good tight series, my mistake was not getting Sepulveda to pitch game 7 when not rested, but we did enough. Your guys just stepped up and stopped our hitters, something you rightly pointed out they don't do during the regular season.
Good luck!
-
NC is exported and ready.
-
I'll be running FCS Games 3-5 shortly...
-
File/reports are updated! We can wrap up the 2015 FCS whenever TX and NC are ready!
-
North Carolina is exported and ready to go.
Things look dire for the Aviators, but we've got the PL wins leader on the mound for Game 6 and the PL ERA leader on the mound for game 7 if we can force it.
That said, I fear Texas' offense is just too powerful for us. They really hit the cover off the ball in games 3 and 5.
-
Oops forgot to run reports before my phone starting to ring haha. Reports are updated. Statslab coming...
-
tough decision for the last games but i bet on my knuckleballer for the first game and mccarty for the second. wilkerson will be playing in the bullpen and my worst RPs have been demoted, just in case ...
texas is ready too!!
-
Let's wrap up this FCS. Coming up next...
-
We have a champion for the 2015. Congrats to that team! I'll post info on steps following the FCS here on the forum and in an email. Stay tuned!
-
Statslab is up to date (11/7/2015)

-this has us at Opening Day 2016 around November 18-20 range
Please let me know of any questions or comments in this thread or via email. Thanks guys!

Congrats to Texas!
I did not like my chances heading into game 6, but with Haines on the mound I felt pretty good about game 7... until your batters crushed him. He was 4-0 in the postseason heading into that game and had led the PL in ERA during the season.
Oh well, I made it farther than I thought I could without my All-Star first baseman. :'(
-
3B Cesar Alfaro didn't take the loss very well... he retired right after the game.
-
thanks!!! we have a lot of old players and in the next years we will be fighting for other things so this title was very important for our team ;D
what happened with the all star?
-
He was hurt during the final month of the season and missed the entire postseason.
He was the only power hitter I had besides Chavez, so it really limited my long balls.
-
Congrats to Texas, they have the best record for the past 3 years combined so only fair that the old timers won a championship!
-
Forgot to mention, our boys are now the only team to have made the playoffs all 3 years and to not have won a championship, and we haven't even made it to the final game yet either.
Definitely work to do in 2016.

Well it would be an improvement for my boys - we had the best chance this year, no injuries to hamper us, great pitching and hitting throughout the year, but we got pipped by NC in a great series.

You're welcome.

To many losses to ontairo during the season lost you guys a chance at first :)

Frank pointed out there is a way to have non-GMs log into Statslab, so we can have our future GMs vote in Statslab. I'll send each of you your default password.
Voting ends for Season Awards (Statslab) and Postseason MVP (Forum) on Monday 11/11 at 6am CT.
-
I'm going to process the NC-KY trade (and looks like ON-IL trade now too) and then release a new file/reports after that happens.
We're moving along in the Ammy Draft in Statslab. Continue to discuss the expansion process and also vote for Season Awards and Postseason MVP if not already. Thanks!
-
Post yesterday/today trades sim updated. I just processed the trades and released a new file/reports. Statslab coming up.
-
I'll process any trades and any FA signings from today in a sim tomorrow. This sim will also include the Best Defender Awards for each position in each league as selected by the game. Just wanted to give you a heads up!
-
File/reports have been updated. I processed the 2 trades and simmed 1 day forward which included the OOTP-picked Best Defensive Awards for each league.
Continue to vote for Season Awards and Postseason MVP plus the Amateur Draft!

Statslab is updated!
