2060 ABL PLAYOFFS

The 105-57 Crusaders entered the playoffs with the best record in the league, having won a dominant CL North by nine games. It was their fifth straight CL North title, a streak that so far had netted them one championship. This time they made the playoffs with the #1 offense and #2 pitching in the Continental League, as well as the best defense, and a whopping +258 run differential that beggared belief. They led the league with a .373 team OBP, and at that rate you could pummel teams without hitting homers; they were only sixth in bombs in the CL, and stealing bases overall was also not their best skill. But they arrived here with a pesky leadoff man in Omar Sanchez (.333, 2 HR, 62 RBI) and a fearsome middle of the order including Aubrey Austin (.298, 15 HR, 105 RBI), Sean Zeiher (.304, 18 HR, 101 RBI), and Tommy Branch (.253, 22 HR, 96 RBI). Only Branch was hitting under .270 in their most likely lineup for the playoffs. The rotation was all right-handed and led by the dominant Ben Seiter (19-7, 3.02 ERA), although Seisaku Taki (16-7, 3.31 ERA) was not far behind him. The rotation was so good, they had to cut down on Jose Ortega (15-9, 3.60 ERA) to trim it to four guys for the playoffs. Jason Rhodes had 38 saves and a 1.60 ERA as closer, and the bullpen was sturdy, although a bit “average” in middle relief. Veteran right-hander Noah Hollis, only employed as swingman for the last seasons by various teams, was the only injury.

The 90-72 Condors had the opposite of a 5-year streak of division titles, having ended a 26-year drought by winning the CL South four games ahead of the Knights. They did so with the sixth-best offense and fifth-best pitching, and a comparatively puny +72 run differential. They ranked second in the CL in batting average, but there was a lot of “alright, but not great” in their stats overall. They had tied the Crusaders for homers this year, and had stolen more bases, but those were probably not deciding qualities. Their rotation on the other hand had a sharp drop-off after Marco Clemente (13-11, 3.22 ERA) and Miguel Batista (16-10, 3.54 ERA), also owing to a late-season injury that had felled Edgar Mauricio (10-10, 2.96 ERA). Eric Frasher (.251, 20 HR, 70 RBI) led the power department from third base, and Jason Sturgeon (.325, 10 HR, 67 RBI), Tristan Waker (.258, 15 HR, 73 RBI), and others provided solid offense, but they lacked the big flashes in there. Same topic in the bullpen, where Brett Lillis jr. had saved 34 games with a 4.00 ERA, and the rest of the pen was not much better. Besides Mauricio, reliever Joe Cash and infielder Bob Palmieri were on the DL, but these were not exactly cornerstones of the team.

In the Federal League, the defending champs, the 99-63 Topeka Buffaloes had won the FL East by ten games and had clinched home field advantage for the FLCS with the #3 offense and the pest pitching in that circuit. They had a +146 run differential. They had the highest OBP in the Federal League, but like the two CL teams were only average in homers and stolen bases. They had the strongest rotation in the FL, though, and the second-best pen and defense. Miguel Romero (10-4, 3.08 ERA) had missed a month, but had the best ERA in the playoff rotation, although Pablo Lara (16-11, 3.57 ERA) and Ben Karst (16-9, 3.71 ERA) were the bigger names. Closer Bill Hernandez led the FL with 53 saves and posted a 1.52 ERA. In the lineup, Zach Suggs (.299, 23 HR, 19 RBI) put up the best numbers, supported by Dan Martin (.292, 18 HR, 105 RBI), Alex de los Santos (.280, 17 HR, 98 RBI), and veteran David Worthington (.226, 14 HR, 86 RBI). The bottom of the lineup was weak, though, and the Buffaloes would probably miss starting centerfielder Jose Ambriz (.309, 8 HR, 54 RBI), who was out for the year, quite dearly. Reliever Kyle Zanni was also out for the playoffs.

The Gold Sox had rallied from last to first in two years, finishing one game ahead with a rater modest 87-75 record in a tight FL West. They looked a bit like longshots, especially with that third-worst (!) offense in their league, although they were also giving up the third-fewest runs. In the end, though, that was only a +13 run differential. They had the best batting average in the FL, but almost nobody in that lineup drew walks. Despite playing in Colorado, homers were not there thing – sixth in the FL – and they were stealing bases instead. They had the best defense and second-best rotation in the Federal League, but their bullpen was an unmitigated disaster with a 4.69 ERA, second-worst in the FL. Nick Robinson (16-6, 3.01 ERA) spear-headed a rotation with three left-handers, and the lineup was also mostly left-handed. Nobody on the team had more homers than Chris Lauterbach (.277, 14 HR, 65 RBI) and Randy Wilken (.253, 14 HR, 65 RBI), and Bill Joyner (.330, 11 HR, 70 RBI) led the team in RBI.

The Condors led all participants in playoff appearances with their 18th appearance, although it had taken them a while to find their way back to the party. The Crusaders were just behind with 17, while the Gold Sox and Buffaloes both made their 14th playoffs. Things were more lopsided in actual championships, though; there were 16 rings in the playoffs, but the Crusaders hogged eight of them and the Gold Sox six more. The Condors and Buffaloes only had a single championship each, in the latter’s case last year.

For previous playoff matchups, the Gold Sox and Buffaloes met in the FLCS before in 2003 and 2052, with both encounters seeing the Sox win the pennant. The Crusaders and Condors also met twice in the CLCS before, back-to-back in 2015 and 2016. The Crusaders won the first contest and the championship after that, while the Condors won the second one, but lost the World Series to the Pacifics.

For the World Series, the Condors’ only championship came in 2029 at the expense of the Buffaloes, while the Buffaloes’ only championship had come last year against the Crusaders.

Besides the Condors, all playoff participants had won a championship inside the last eight years, with the Crusaders winning it all in 2056, and the Gold Sox winning four in a row from 2049 to 2052. The 2056 Crusaders title was the most recent one for the Continental League.

The two teams with the best records thus emerged to the World Series in a rematch of last year’s extravaganza. These were the two #1 offenses in their respective leagues, and both teams ranked in the top 2 of their league’s runs allowed, starters’ ERA, bullpen ERA, and defense. It might become a low-scoring affair – although the Crusaders scored 5.3 runs per game in the regular season and still scored 4.83 runs per game on the Condors in the CLCS.

While the Crusaders lost Sean Zeiher to knock a tooth out of their lineup’s grin, they would have their tough-as-nails, all-right-handed rotation up against a mostly right-handed lineup. By contrast, the Buffaloes had three righty starters, but the Crusaders’ offense was balanced, even though the Zeiher injury meant it got thinner at the bottom, with Chris Deeley (.219, 0 HR, 8 RBI) the most likely replacement in the lineup.

TOP @ NYC … 0-1 … (Crusaders lead 1-0) … NYC Matt McLaren 1-2, HR, RBI; NYC Ben Seiter 8.0 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 8 K, W (3-0)

Speaking of low-offense, Game 1 sees only four base hits per side, and McLaren’s fourth-inning homer off Ben Karst (0-1, 1.65 ERA) wins New York the series opener.

TOP @ NYC … 0-7 … (Crusaders lead 2-0) … NYC Matt McLaren 1-2, 2 BB, HR, RBI; NYC Milt Cantrell 9.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 6 K, W (2-0) and 2-3;

NYC @ TOP … 4-3 … (Crusaders lead 3-0) … NYC Curt Goodwin 1-4, HR, 2 RBI; TOP Dan Martin 4-4, HR, 2B, RBI;

The Buffos finally wake up and out-hit the Crusaders, 9-7, but can’t put the hits together for a critical amount of offense as the Crusaders take the lead in the first inning and never surrender it, although the Buffaloes have the tying and winning runs on the corners in the bottom 9th when the game ends with a strikeout by Jason Rhodes (0-0, 10.38 ERA, 3 SV) on PH Rafael Guzman.

NYC @ TOP … 4-6 … (Crusaders lead 3-1) … NYC Matt McLaren 2-4, RBI; NYC Javier Acuna 2-4, 2B, RBI; TOP Dan Martin 2-4, HR, 2B, 2 RBI; TOP Nick McLelland 2-4, 3B, RBI;

Ben Seiter (3-1, 1.41 ERA) finally loses a playoff game, giving up four runs in seven innings.

NYC @ TOP … 6-1 … (Crusaders win 4-1) … NYC Aubrey Austin 3-4, BB; NYC Javier Acuna 2-4, 2 RBI;

A first-inning 3-spot and six sturdy innings by Seisaku Taki (1-0, 2.77 ERA) allow the Crusaders to clinch their ninth championship!
