Playoffs

Frogs – ST109
The Frogs are in the Wild Card Game against the 99-win Bayushi Scorpions. We face James Paxton, a guy who we should be okay against with our offense.

We’re not. We have absolutely nothing and bow out meekly, managing just four hits against Paxton en route to a 6-0 defeat. The 96-win season ends quickly.

Warlocks – I186
In the Division Series we get an Old Hoss Radbourn team that dominated I186, finishing 130-32 and beating us 10 times in our 14 games. Obviously this will be a struggle. They’ve got 20 Diamonds plus a Perfect Joe DiMaggio. Ugh.

Game 1 is a back-and-forth affair but they score four in the 6th to go up 7-4. In the 9th they have Chris Sale in there to close it out, and we explode on him, scoring five to shock the Radbourns in Game 1, 9-7.

Game 2 is a pitcher’s duel between their Bill Swift and our Joaquin Andujar. It’s scoreless until we put up four in the top of the 6th. They score three in the bottom of the inning, and that’s the score in the 9th. Our closer, Roberto Osuna, gives up three hits in the 9th but no runs, and we win 4-3 to go up 2-0.

We head home for Game 3 and are never in it. We have nothing against Jim Whitney and lose, 9-0.

Game 4 is epic. We tag Eddie Plank for five in the 1st, and are up 9-4 in the eighth. But like they did in Game 1, we blow the lead fantastically, as Danys Baez (PEAK!!!!) and Giovanny Gallegos combine to give up six. We lose, 10-9, and head to a Game 5 that I basically already know the result of.

In Game 5 Mike Caldwell hangs with Steve Carlton, and we go to extras tied 2-2. We load the bases with one out in the top of the 10th, but don’t score. They do, on a walk-off homer by Jeff Bagwell off Roberto Osuna.

The series reflects our season... good at the beginning, fall apart at the end.

My day is over.
