The Fortress and Sparkplugs dukes it out in a 1-game regular season playoff game to see who wins the division. You can find the results HERE.
Thanks to all for a smooth 1974 regular seasons. A few little bumps in the road, but very solid as per usual.
First, I want to offer my thanks to Dave Lauer for his tireless efforts as league stat. A very tough job for sure, but he does it so well. Thanks for all you do Dave!
Second, congratulations to our Playoff Bound Teams!
In the AL, my AL East Division winning Route 66 Hot Rods will take on John Turnbull’s Wild Card Dayton Dragons, while Joe Dezarlo’s AL West winning South River Gladiators will take on the Wild Card Los Angeles Angels of Don Zminda.
In the NL, well were not quite there yet. We know that Steve Lehman’s defending Champion Seattle Totems just barely held on in the NL East to beat Stan Barkun’s Montreal Royals by 1 game (an Incredible 118 wins to 117 wins!). In the NL West, we have a tie between Rick Ryan’s Speedway Sparkplugs and Gary Plunkitt’s Frankfort Fortress. So we will have a 1 game playoff to determine the winner. The winner of that game will get home field advantage for the first round and face the Montreal Royals, while the loser will get a trip to Seattle.
Because this is still a regular season game, all usage still carries over from previous games, however, I have increased the threshold now to 110%, so if a player isn’t over 110%, you can use them in the one game playoff.
Rick and Gary, the attached database has the 1 game playoff added, so you can play at your convenience.
People yell and scream like litle children until they receive it. Why? Cause it's that good! Thank you again to John Ungashick with his 1974 Pre-Season prognosis. Enjoy!
As I had stated I would do before, the Oceanside Seagulls were allowed to pull from the available Free Agents Cuts to fill out a proper 27-Man Roster.
Here were those moves for the Seagulls:
Add C Vic Correll (Hot Rods) - Cut C Ron Hodges
Add 2b Larry Lintz 2b (Elephants) - Cut: 1B Hal Breeden
Add SS Ed Brinkman SS (Barons) - Cut: Orlando Cepeda
Add SP Lerrin LaGrow (Barons) - Cut: MR Jim York
Add RP Orlando Pena (Royals) - Cut: Leo Cardenas
Add RP Vincente Romo (Sparkplugs) - Cut: Eddie Solomon
The Route 66 Hot Rods have vacated Veterans Stadium for the more cozy midwestern confines of Metropolitan Stadium.
The Hampton Road Cruisers vacate Candlestick Park for Veterans Stadium
This leaves Candlestick Park, Oakland Coliseum, Arlington Stadium and Three Rivers Stadium available.
I have looked at the under usage for 1973 and it looks really good, with the exception of some relievers.
I think in the case of using batters faced with RP’s, the 50% threshold is too high, as the number of innings RP’s
in this era can throw can be incredibly difficult to replicate with the DMB game.
That said, with the small out there was, with no players of any real significance less their aforementioned relievers,
I am waiving ANY and ALL use or lose losses for the 1973 season, and will re-evaluate these thresholds with the other
commissioners and rule committee, likely lower it for Relievers.
Thanks for your understanding,
Number was 2-5-9. Congratulations goes out to Chris Longo and his data city Schema Buster for landing the top overall pick!
Order didn’t change much, just a swap of 1 and 2.
