Given that the Outlaws rotation is Verlander and out-HR the other guys, I wasn't thrilled about playing a team with multiple good starting pitchers. The HR came through just enough this time, but I'm betting Verlander having to start the 7th game is going to cost us in the WS, unless we somehow get 3 days rest going in to that series. Always good to play Pat HTH, and all the disconnects make

Game 1 - In what turns out to be the only ho-hum game in the series Matt Chapman hits a 2-run bomb in the 1st and 3 other Outlaws take Gerrit Cole deep in the game while Justin Verlander and 3 relievers combine to throw a 3-hit shutout striking out 13. Outlaws 7 - Chinook 0 Game 2 - Outlaws again strike early with an Olson HR in the 1st and a SF to plate another run in the 2nd. Miley goes 5 1-

Is good to go and full of scrubs in an attempt to avoid injuries.

Verlander notches win 30 along with his first complete game. MP ready for next series vs Wagstaffs, as many scrubs as possible playing to avoid injuries.

Updated Outlaws MP, CM can handle everything.

Outlaws MP. Pitcher Bats 8th, so please swap with #8 hitter prior to each game.

For the second series in a row, Outlaws return the road favor, but the march to 30 continues.

Pitcher bats 8th. Starters should be Manaea, Thornton, Miley.

Outlaws return the favor in their half, and Verlander moves to 26-2. FWIW, I missed it when it happened, but Verlander is now the winningest pitcher in TRHL history, having passed Martinez, Colon, Johnson, Hudson and Maddux for the top spot with 223 wins. He's also moved into 3rd all-time in Ks, and is just the 3rd member of the 3000K club behind Pedro and Randy. He's matched Kevin Brown's

Pitcher bats 9th in all lineups, please swap with #8 hitter prior to each game. Lineup #6 vs Stroman, lineups 1/2 otherwise based on handedness. Note Shoemaker is scheduled to start game 2 on short rest. He's near but not over the PT threshold, so he's eligible as long as the CM is willing to leave him in.

Phillies non-Verlander pitching sucks. I'm going dark on DMB until at least next Wednesday. If I don't show back up by Thursday, someone sort out this mess of a pitching staff for my next opponent.

Outlaws offense might be coming together, Verlander goes to 11-1, Pence becomes first big injury of the season. Note, I disabled Pence, but haven't done anything about replacing him on the active roster yet. I'll figure that out after the period is over when I create the MP for the next one.

Starters should be Miley, Armenteros, and Thornton. Thornton will need to be activated from the DL before his start, demoting Armenteros. Use lineup #6 vs Nova. Pitcher bats 8th in all lineups, swap him with the #8 hitter before each game.
