MPs *likely* ready for Series 01: Not going to assume. Reach out to
your opponent this week and communicate regarding all six games!

Again, rules of game play:
1. Do not play a series as the home team without first receiving a season start MP from the visiting team owner.  Check the message board especially for posted MPs. After Series 01, please e-mail visiting owner if MP not listed as ready.
2. Always check the opposing team's rotation; pitchers should not start tired unless stated otherwise by manager.
3. Honor system here; do not restart games once they've started unless there is an obvious mistake discovered immediately upon starting (e.g., see #2 above, you accidentally let a tired pitcher start for opposing team)
4. You must have 25 or 26 active players at all time.  No more.  No fewer than 25.

Reminder - we are sticking to home-and-away six-game series each week against the same opponent.

Deadlines - 1st half deadline for first three games is Friday, March 13th, 10 PM EDT. 2nd half deadline is Monday, March 16th, 10 PM EDT.

Series 01 league file has been posted and the League File link on the website has been updated.

Thanks for playing.

Lineups:

vs Flaherty - RHP hurt RHB
vs Lester - LHP neutral
vs Keller - RHP Neutral

is set for series vs. Rogers.

First series MP. Good luck to all!

Game 1: The McCallions come from behind as Brosseau hits a 2 run pinch hit homer in the bottom of the 8th inning, and Guerra closes it out, for a 6-5 win. Vogt gets knocked out for 12 games, as he ends up losing a collision at home plate in the bottom of the 7th with Vlad Jr. Devers hits a pair of homers for the NRI, including one on the first pitch of the game.

Game 2: The McCallions break open the game in the bottom of the fifth, scoring four. Brasseau again is the star for the McCallions, hitting a homer in the first, and a double which drove in two in the fifth. For the NRI, Laureano goes 3 for 4, with a homer, in a losing cause. McCallions win 5-2.

Game 3: The McCallions outlast the NRI 12-9 in an absolute slopfest, featuring 8 homers (5 for the NRI, 3 for the McCallions), with the key one being a fifth inning slam from Rowdy Tellez. To put it kindly, none of the pitchers had their good stuff today. In injury news, the NRI's Brandon Lowe left the game in the top of the 8th, after grounding out to short, and is expected to miss the next 43 games.

While the McCallions don't want the NRI to win any games, they do wish them better health in the second half of this series.

For series with Outlaws

Also, the McCallions starters should be Kikuchi, Cashner, and Flaherty. Please let the computer manager select lineups.

Not a good opening series for a Wagstaff team that has eyes on actually competing this year. Jaxx take 2 of 3.

BDM drop the home opener 4-0 as Zack Greinke twirls a 2 H, 10 K shutout, and Kershaw leaves early with a 5 game injury. Mattingly come back to take the next two 4-3 and 7-1. Nolan Arenado off to a blistering start with 3 HR in the last 2 games.

BDM rotation is Wheeler, Gallen, deGrom. Standard lineups.

Good luck!

BDM take 2 of 3

Alston Terriers start the new year with hope of glory.

mp attached. Good luck.

Verlander retires the first 19 batters he faces on the way to his first win of the season, but the rest of the pitching looks every bit as dicey in action as it does on paper. 3 HR per game will cure a lot of pitching problems, though.

Should be ready for the 2nd half, Thornton, Verlander, Miley. Pitcher bats 8th, so drop the #9 hitter down after loading the lineups before each game.

Jaxx take two of three at home from Wagstaffs, winning a classic 16 inning affair in game one.

Stogies stole 2 out of 3 on the road.

Great start for the Rotisserie as we get the home sweep.

Game One was just about the perfect baseball game for me, and on opening day no less. 0-0 until the bottom of the 9th when my defensive first CF Victor Robles hits a solo for the walk off.

Game Two was tight for most of the game, but Rotisserie pulls away late to win it 6-2.

Game Three was real tight, with the game tied 2-2 by the top of the 4th. Rotisserie strings together a walk and two hits, with Bogearts getting the RBI, and our killer pen holds on. Nearly blew it in the 9th when I accidentally let Osuna pitch to Pederson leading off, and he crushes a double, but Hader comes in and bails me out.

MP ready for the second half. That "killer pen" is actually pretty shallow, so we may not be so fortunate going into the second half.

Lost first two and bats came alive to win third.
MP is ready to use for road portion at Heroes.

First half results as Whitecaps lose 2 of 3 to Terriers.

Canons sweep back. Second game was a nail biter with Canons coming back from 2-1 after 8.5 innings to win 3-2 after 10. The other two games were runfests

Uploading Ray's file

McCallions rally from a 5-0 deficit to win 8-7 in ten innings to avoid a sweep.

Pirates sweep Chinook. Franmil Reyes has 3 hr and 6 rbi in game 1.

Terriers host Whitecaps. Lots of runs scored as Terriers take first two 9-8, 10-9 before Sherzerer wins easily as Visitors take game 3 11-3

The Annunaki take two of three.

Pale Hose sweep at home ... Plukto (1-0) pitches a complete game as the Hose take the home opener 5-1. Vazquez homered to left in the bottom of 12th powering the Hose to a 4-3 victory. Gonzalez (2-0) did not pitch particularly well but still gets a win as the Hose bats show up strong in a 12-6 finale.

Home team wins a hitting contest in the first game, and Shane Bieber pitches well enough to take the second Visitors build a 5-0 lead and withstand a furious ninth inning rally to win the third.

Breakers and Anunnaki split first two games and UCity leads the rubber match 4-1 heading into the top of the 8th, when all hell decides to break lose. Lindor hits a 3 run shot to put CBC up 6-4. Buxton answers with a grand slam in the bottom of the frame to give Ucity a 8-6 lead. Ryon Healy then jacks his own 3 run bomb to restore CBB's lead at 9-8. Anunnaki tie it and have sacks jammed for Buxton again, and again he comes through, slugging a walk-off slam for a 13-9 final.

Justin Upton hurt for the next 3 games for the Breakers.

UCity MP good to go for series 2.

Tough start for the defending champs who lose the first 4 out of the gate in 2019.

G4: Bad managing. Left Nola in too long. Allows tying runs to get to plate and Yates blows the save. K. Seager hits GW HR in the 11th to give Pirates 6-5 comeback win.

G5: G. Cole homers, drives in 3, and goes 7 solid frames to pace the Chinook's first win of season. TBC 10-2.

G6: S. Gray pitches a gem, but game still in doubt until some late insurance from Kepler. TBC 5-2.

Series split - each team winning 2 at home.

How in the heck did that happen?!?

So much for the good start...
