If we manage to have zero additional delays from the end of period 1, playing one series every single week, we will finish the regular season on November 13. We then will have only six weeks until Christmas Day. I would suggest we need, to get next year started on time, to set a strict limit of two weeks per playoff round and use all efforts to avoid any in-season delays to our schedule.

Two wild games to start the season, 16 and 13 innings respectively, both Whitecaps wins. The Empire get off the mark in the third game.

Here is the Whitecaps' MP/roster for series 1. We open at home, but I figured Billy might want to see what our roster is before he submits his first MP.

I do need to write more about the World Series games, and I will when things get less busy after April 30.

As previously announced by emsil, the Halifax Whitecaps sign Ronald Acuna to a LTC for 2021-22-23.

I won't spoil the surprise. The following post will be an announcement of the winner.

Any progress by the NLCS teams?

It was an absolutely incredible series, two great teams tearing lumps out of each other. Bruce's Portland team is incredibly well-built and I had to manage my butt off just to get to 3-1 down. Game 4 was a crusher, as Halifax coughed up a lead and lost the game in extra innings. But the Whitecaps kept hitting and kept scratching and clawing and won the last three straight including the last tw

Perfect, we're all good, mine is also set.

Whitecaps TENTATIVE mp for the ALCS; may need to change based on any Portland changes (which of course will trigger Portland re-changes, but not ad infinitum).

As posted to email by Greg.

MVP of the second ALDS was Marcell Ozuna, with five home runs and eight RBI including the series winner. A very close run thing since Halifax won all three of Zach Davies's starts, he was 2-0 but the bullpen coughed up the lead in Game 7 before the ninth-inning win.

A classic; the Whitecaps take it in the ninth inning of Game 7 as Ozuna drove in Margot for a 6-5 win.

Halifax had won 20 straight before the Heroes knocked us off in Game 3.

Heroes and Whitecaps will finish this series on Tuesday or Wednesday this week! Halifax and Higglytown are used to tearing lumps out of each other and the ALDS, pitting two 102-win teams against each other, has not been an exception so far. The Whitecaps currently lead 3-1, using the long ball specialty to win two at home (5-3 and 7-3) and then to take game 4 5-2 after dropping one back in Gam

To clarify how we resolved the Yaz issue: we put Peterson on the farm instead, and "added" Yastrzemski to the roster (he is on IL and will be activated when he is ready)

Corrected MP for Whitecaps

To clarify that request: Yastrzemski will be ready to come off the DL for Game 5 and I want to replace Akiyama with him then

Whitecaps want to make sure we can replace a ALDS guy when our injured player comes off the DL.

Whitecaps run their winning streak to 15 with three blowouts at home vs U City. The rotation is Means-Peralta-Suter, let the computer choose my lineup.

Ha. Also, last week's and this week's update messed with the IP minimums in the message. Same diff, no deal, just letting owners know it's minimum 25 IP and not 27.

Greg your search-and-replace of "26" for "27" wonked up the roster rules, but no matter. Thanks for droning all season. It's been a lot of fun this year.

Played all by Halifax, first half deadline had expired. Whitecaps outscore the Rogers 50-13 and take all six.

Whitecaps MP for Rogers, thanks. Computer can do lineups and use the rotation included (Suter, Dobnak, Means)

Six of six for Halifax as we scored 64 runs overall in six games. Trevor Story has scored 123 runs; Marcell Ozuna has hit 43 homers and has 133 RBI.

Whitecaps MP for Alston

Ryan’s story is yet another example of my favorite category of errors, “lone operator error”

Whitecaps manage to take two from the Breakers, dropping the first one and squeezing out the last two. Still an exciting race with the Pale Hose...

Reminder to all that active rosters can now be expanded to as many as 40

The local rivals, tied for first in the Iron Horse Division coming in, went toe-to-toe for six games with Maine winning the middle two and Halifax the rest to take a two-game lead. Whitecaps scored 48 runs in the six games despite being shut out in G3. Note: Halifax played all six. If I have somehow overlooked posted results that weren't posted here, please let me know. I will be otherwise occ
