Uploading now: Angels (I Peench) vs Diamondbacks (Colemanchu) in the World Series Congrats to G_T_G on winning the NBL Championship. Whenever Cole and Peench export I'll sim the World Series.
Good season HAL9100 . Leaving the NL West and turning one of the worst organizations in the dugout into a division winner. GJGE NL East.
Good series Fmode11 . At least you got to take down one powerhouse. Team looks to only be getting better, so I hope to see you again next post-season.

Lol. Not sure what to make of it, tbh. When I took over the team, I figured it'd be 70 wins at best for a few years and have no idea how this team did so well. But that said, I think the NL East had the best combined record of all 6 divisions with 4 teams over .500. So the results don't say it was an easy division. What I take away from this is how much of a role Rule 5 players can have. A Rule 5 player was my cleanup hitter and led the NL in HRs and RBIs. I had 2 Rule 5 players in my SP rotation and another as my key lefty MR. I also had practically no injuries until September. With regards to the NL West, you and Abolish have such a stranglehold out there that it's hard to get anything going. For the 13 seasons I've been in the Dugout, it's been basically you 2 at the top every year(the Dodgers did have a couple good years). You don't only have good teams but deep systems. I think I had it started with the Padres, but if you don't build your team the right away from the start and stick with it for a long time, then you don't have much of a chance of sustained success at this point. The NL East has had a lot more parity than the NL West over those same 13 seasons.
Thanks Hal. Hell of a job with the Phils - I'd imagine you'll get some $ this offseason to round out your roster and make another run. Bates acquisition proved very smart.
I don't really understand how you guys were so good this year. Nothing really stands out. Hoping it was a fluke.
Thanks. We'll see about that. Picking up Bates and Nichols is going to force some overpaid guys to leave the picture but I should be able to return most everyone from my active roster. Just need to find another Aurelio Garcia in the Rule 5 and I'll be set.
Oh. I knew you made the playoffs, but I thought it was only as the wildcard. It probably was a fluke, but I think I led the NL in defensive efficiency and home runs so I guess that's all you need lol.
Nothing like getting swept.... Still trying to bring the offense up to our pitching standards. Congrats on another ring!
Nothing but love back (no homo, did I do this right Danthraxxx?). But since you are a giants fan I got to root against you.
