2034 ABL PLAYOFFS

October had arrived and with it the thinning of the crowd to just four teams to fight out the 2034 ABL champions. This would include the Titans and Condors, both finishing 97-65 and about a handful of games clear in their divisions, in the CLCS; and in the FLCS the Blue Sox (96-66) had won their division by a single game and were going to host the defending champions, the 88-74 Warriors.

Power was the name of the game for the Warriors, who were hitting for a high average too, but weren’t into walking much or stealing bases at all; they had finished tops with 169 homers and bottoms with 43 stolen bags. Their pitching had been more on the mediocre side, with the fourth-fewest runs allowed while the starters had the seventh-best ERA, with the pen a wee bit ahead of them. It was hard to gloss over the lack of a bonafide starter or closer, however; Zach Warner had saved 35 games for a 3.06 ERA, but with the injury of Gavin Lee the best starter they could come up with was Francisco Colmenarez (16-9, 3.66 ERA). The offense would have to do it; in Melvin Hernandez, Mario Colon, Tim Sheaffer, Ethan McCullar, and Nick Rozenboom they had FIVE guys with 20+ homers (although Colon would miss the first few games of the FLCS with forearm stiffness), and none of them was hitting less than .265;

Thankfully for the Warriors, the Blue Sox’ rotation was even more crummy. It had come up in the bottom three in ERA, with the bullpen in the top three. But they had allowed the fourth-most runs, making their appearance in the FLCS with the best record in the Federal League even more miraculous. On the other hand, their offense trumped the Warriors’ in terms of output, but did it by stabbing the opposition bit by bit rather than with one huge slash. They were almost the polar opposite of the Warriors – last in homers (77), second in stolen bases (161), and that was after they had stuffed the bags with a .363 team OBP. Jim “Mastodon” Allen had hit .345 with 16 homers and 127 RBI, and there were another FIVE .300 hitters in the lineup to slowly suffocate the opposition. The rotation, as mentioned, was horrendous. Doug Clifford had won 16 games with a 3.64 ERA, one point over the mark of 10-5 Ken Stice. It got only worse from there. At least any lead that reached CL Mike Bass (1.74 ERA, 42 SV) was unlikely to evaporate. They had one notable player on the DL in Doug Stross, but the offense didn’t look worse for it.

The 97-win Titans would have to overcome the 97-win Condors on the road with home field advantage given to Tijuana. Boston had allowed the fewest runs in the league with the #1 rotation, #2 pen, and #2 defense, but their offense had lost the bite of previous years, coming up eighth in runs scored. But the rotation as so good that even losing Mario Gonzalez and Dustin Wingo early on couldn’t subdue them and they entered the postseason with four starters with ERAs of 3.39 or better, led by 18-game winner Rich Willett and his 3.04 ERA. In the pen, Jermaine Campbell’s 50 saves guaranteed late-inning security. However, there wasn’t even a .290 hitter on the team, and nobody had hit more than 14 homers – at least if you deducted Ivan Vega, who was stashed away on the DL. Mark Walker’s 85 RBI stood well alone on the team, which otherwise boasted 67 by Edgar Gonzalez as second-best mark.

For the Condors, it was all about being consistently good without leading the league in any meaningful category. They were second in runs scored, second in runs allowed, and with a far better run differential than the Titans (+176 compared to +104). They were fourth in batting average, on-base percentage, home runs, stolen bases… they really liked being fourth in many aspects. They had the third-best rotation by ERA, though. In the playoffs that rotation would be headed by Jeff Little (11-7, 2.98 ERA) and George Griffin (10-10, 2.87 ERA), and they had a sturdy pen with final boss Ray Andrews (1.84 ERA, 35 SV) and Josh Heckman (9-1, 1.23 ERA) guarding the gate to said boss. But of course there was a huge issue for the Condors, and it was Shane Sanks’ quad. The four-time Player of the Year had batted .288/.421/.526 with 33 homers and 114 RBI in the final week of the regular season when his quad had acted up. He was out for at least the CLCS and maybe they could apply enough ointments to get him ready for the World Series. To get there, they required a concerted effort from Willie Ojeda (.313, 18 HR, 88 RBI) and the rest of the densely constructed lineup.

All of the teams involved had rather balanced lineups and most seemed to ride into battle with two right-handed and two left-handed starters. Both LCS figured to be tight, maybe with slight edges for the Blue Sox and Titans.

All of the teams were also regular playoff participants; all were in the top 10 in October tickets. The Titans had the most playoff seasons of any ABL team, this being their 18th postseason. The Condors made the show for the 15th time (t-2nd), and the Warriors and Blue Sox both were in the show for the 12th time (t-7th). The Titans also had the most championships of all ABL teams with nine, with the Blue Sox and Warriors both winning it all twice (including the Warriors in ’33), and the Condors had been all on top once.

This was the fourth Titans-Condors in recent memory (2029, 2031, 2032) and the sixth in total (1997, 1998). The Condors only won the 2029 CLCS, which was also the year they won it all. The Titans took the other four CLCS, winning championships in 1998 and 2031, losing to the Capitals in ’97 and the Pacifics in ’32.

The Blue Sox and Warriors had met each other only once in the FLCS, back in 2000, a series won by the Warriors before they had to bow to the Thunder.

After Ray Andrews blows a 2-1 lead in the ninth, walking Gil, allowing a single to Spataro, and conceding the run on a Moises Avila grounder, the Condors’ bottom of the ninth begins with Willie Ojeda tripling on the second pitch thrown by Jermaine Campbell. Chris Miller whiffs, Ken Kramer is walked intentionally, but when Alfredo Quintana grounds to second base, Rhett West won’t get two and has to go home, but can’t beat Ojeda, who slides in safe, walking off the Condors in a stunning comeback from a 3-0 deficit in the series…!

2034 WORLD SERIES

The Warriors would bring the better offense into the World Series, while the Condors had conceded almost a hundred fewer runs in the regular season (and precious few in the CLCS). The good news for the Warriors was that they didn’t suffer any additional injuries and could work with what they had used in the successful FLCS. The good news for the Condors was that Shane Sanks was going to be back in the cleanup slot and they now expected to win the series in perhaps as little as five games.

These teams had never met in the World Series before.

The Condors out-score the Warriors, 12-8, but also make two costly errors in a tight contest.

TIJ @ SFW … 6-2 … (Warriors lead 2-1) … TIJ Willie Ojeda 2-5, 3B, RBI; TIJ Shane Sanks 2-4, BB, RBI; TIJ George Griffin 8.0 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 6 K, W (1-1);

Ray Andrews blows his second save in the ninth, but with mighty help by Shane Sanks, who commits a throwing error. Mike Ibarra surrenders a walkoff RBI double to Jimmy Wood in the bottom 11th to set up Game 7.

SFW @ TIJ … 8-4 (11) … (Warriors win 4-3) … SFW Pedro Cisneros 2-4, 2B, RBI; SFW Mario Colon 2-4, 2 BB, 2 2B, RBI; SFW Jesus Matos (PH) 2-2, 2B; TIJ Willie Ojeda 2-4; TIJ Jimmy Wood 1-2, 3 BB; TIJ Yeong-ha Sung (PH) 1-1, RBI;

Ray Andrews blows his third and final save of October, getting socked for four hits and two runs in the ninth to make a 4-2 lead defended by George Griffin and three relievers disappear. Josh Heckman appears in the 11th and retires nobody. Two hits, three walks, and four runs end the Condors’ season before Ibarra, the previous night’s scapegoat, retires the final Condors batters to seal the Warriors’ third championship.
