Matt is traveling and then spending time with family today. He won't be able to get me an MP today. Next sim will be tomorrow. Hurl insults at Matt. #Gingers That is literally the most Hoppy thing ever. Prolly got invited to Jabari Blash’s extended family Thanksgiving, and is all nervous about it, even though Jabari Blash stinx. Good thing I-Han already got bounced. Can you imagine a World Series with Hoppy and Ian? They would be using 2022 ZiPS for their guys by the end of it. Penises. Both of them.

Ran alot of sims last night and it don't look good. My DMB manager seems to refuse to use my best relievers in game 7 and insists on using my average and worse ones. I was losing most of my tests, either Stras getting blown up or my bullpen getting blown up, so I was tinkering a lot. No matter what I did, it kept refusing to bring in Diekman, Kahnle, and Fresh Prince. It kept wanting to pitch Keller, Marshall, and Hunter.
I think I got it working a little better, but my manager might be on the take and trying to throw the series. Another Black Sox scandal.
MP is sent in.

Jesus, the wheels have almost fallen off. The White Socks are going to need a new manager next season. Several odd decisions by DMB this playoff, not pinch-hitting for guys I wanted pinch hitter for in big situations with bad matchups and the always random RP usage...After a great start by Diego Castillo, my manager decides to throw in my CLOSER in the 6th inning...who ends up getting hammered. I am 0-3 in ALCS I've been in, and 0-3 in game 7's in those ALCS's...hopefully, if I lose this time, it's not by a walk-off fly out like last year to Nate.
I'll get my IDKWTF I'm doing game 7 MP in later this afternoon.
Way to battle back and make it a great series, Ty...you dirty bastard.

I sure hope the pattern of winning the odd number games (1,3,5) keeps up but this has been quite the series.
Short rest Giolito is not where I wanted to be.

Whoever makes the series is going to earn their spots. These have been hard fought championship series by all four teams. I hope the momentum carries and the world series is just as suspenseful. I'd hate to see a sweep after two back and forth Lcs.

In my tests last night my manager kept trying to use Baez, my #1 option as mopup, and Fulmer, who I think I took out of every role but might still be 4th option in mopup, to close out close games. It was unreal.

Saint Tradeulus, On the eve of these epic Game 7's, I invoke your wisdom and righteous justice as I set my MP, oh Patron Saint of Dank. There have been grave, grave injustices on the NL side. Things one man should never do to another have transpired, and can never be taken back. Smite these wrongdoers with your unquenchable ebony fire. Empower Lucas Giolito on short rest, with the same resolve taught to him by fellow Italian and former Pirate Gio Gonzalez. Allow him to mow down the treacherous Marlins lineup like a sickle through tender wheat, over and over until the NLCS harvest is complete. It is motherfuckith on, Good Saint of Fantasy Sports. JIm

Going live for Game 7s here. Going to take slightly longer to get everything uploaded because I need to update the zip with teams and HFA before I do it.

Welp. That was an amazing series. Ty's team deserved to beat my team. Congratulations, that was impressive.
Elvis. Fucking. Andrus. Had 2 HR all year, and 5 HRs in this series.

You have the better team. You deserved to win. I just got lucky. Tatis moving to DH because my normal DH was hurt allowed Andrus to start at SS and he played like Reggie Jackson. Him and Tatis hit 11 homeruns in the series. Now onto Pittsburgh to take on another team better than my team. Still missing my #2 SP until game 6, whose already been out since game 1 with Tampa. But I also lost Moncada until game 4 this series. These injuries bring my team together but not sure they can slay another giant.

2 of the most "disliked" GMs in 2 of the most whack markets. This is why I voted for this series. I can't wait for the chaos to begin. It feels more like a wrestling main event than a World Series.

I love this. Ty and I will not disappoint. 1. Not to toot my own horn, but I think sending one final Game 7 MP may have won me that series. I set a 1-man rotation with Giolito, and moved Gant into a spot where I was hoping he’d get the ball if my workhorse Italian’s fatigue set in early. In a postseason with a lot of questionable sim manager calls, the Pirates manager- Jonathan Gentleman- is being signed to an extension. 2. Joe, what calendar day will the Series begin? Just trying to factor in how much rest each SP will have. 3. Ty, we are leaving for Disney (!!!) on Sunday, but I will try to download DiamondMind to my laptop to avoid a one-week hiatus. The gods have given the league this series as sim manna from Heaven, and we cannot disappoint the masses. JIm

There is only the standard 1 day off between the series. Looks like I have Game 1 set on 10/23. Ty sent in his MP late last night so if you get me yours tonight we can start.
We can roll this out as fast as you two like. We can sim 2 games a day if you both are up for it. One in the morning and one at night. We can stick to one per day. Whatever works.

So little known fact that Brian can partially attest to:
In both my leagues combined, I have been to game 7 of the LCS 3 times and was shut out each time.... I mean a big damn goose egg.
Anyway, congrats to Jim and the Pirates as it was a pretty epic series. The better strategist won and more experienced GM won.
A successful year for Miami that ended poorly...though I really was never sure I would win that series.

And I still haunted by Pops and the Pirates beating the Orioles in 79 after being down 3-1. You just do not do that to an 8-year old kid.
Thankfully, I was only months old when they beat us in 71... but I still remember.

I'm assuming Kershaw is starting for Pittsburgh in Game 1. My starter can't go toe to toe with him. My only hope is that my hitters can get to Kershaw and I win like a 7-5 type game. Chances are small I win the game. But I'm going to get Kershaw and Giolito twice each. If I am going to win the series, I need to beat one of them at least once.

Huh???
Strasburg just pitched game 7 of the alcs. There was no way he was going to pitch game 1 of the world series.
