NLD46 - The Petite Oakland Trio League

Congrats on the ring! Well done.

Looks like I have a lot of time figuring out who to take with the first pick next season. Or try and figure out what happened with this one. Expected W/L was 84-78 and instead I finished 68-94. 3rd in runs scored, middle of the pack in pitching. Probably can't look much further than 17-38 in 1 run games. Ouch.

Stones, I think you ran into a lot of bad luck with your team. No way you should have been that bad

Not sure whether any of you guys have played FTF or not, but thought I'd pick your brains on this one

This recently happened in our league and caused a major blow up.

Offensive manager had the bases loaded and no outs. Batter hit a single to LF. Guy from third scores, guy from second can try to score. Offense looks and says "1-15 or do you want to throw 1-7 to 3b" The Defense picks to throw to third to get the, almost, sure out. Runner gets thrown out at third and the run scores. HOWEVER, looking at the book the Offense realizes that he had the wrong runners and it was actually 1-12 to home and 1-13 to 3b. So, what do you do when you get the wrong players? What would your suggestion be in this situation?????

Here are my notes, feel free to add your own.

Jeep breaks a long drought with his first playoff appearance since NLD 31 (he sat out five seasons in there) and posted the best record and a championship to boot!

Jeep now has 4 (in 12 playoffs) and is tied with four others for the most rings and his best record puts him in third behind Silver and Stoney with 20% of the time.

The best record has won 15 out of 45 now.

Semper has the rare occurrence of posting the fourth best record, but NOT making the playoffs. Big A and Hawk did it in NLD 42, and Spider in 40 but no one else since NLD 34 when Semper did it again.

Smokey has established a pattern of making every other playoff. That means he’ll be out for sure this time around

For the past three NLDs Stones makes the playoffs only when Smokey does.

Stoney moved into a third place tie (AT) for most playoff trips and has made it 46% of the time.

Semper makes it when those two don’t for the past four NLDs.

JTJ’s collapse broke his five season playoff streak and first time with fewer than 82 wins since NLD 37

Doug has been on a bit of a cold streak since winning it all in his return in 41.

Spider has made the playoffs in 3 of the last four. He is now in third place overall in terms of all-time winning pct (albeit in only 11 NLDs) He’s made the playoffs in 45% of his seasons.

This NLD was one of the tightest in terms top to bottom records. The spread was only 19 games the fewest since 36 and the standard deviation was 5.2 which is the third lowest of all time (23 and 30)

Yeah, it's still there, you have to copy and paste the string.

Well that worked just fine.

Guess I need to get it in gear - we can't let Semper get too big a jump on the rest of us.
