and the 2021 White Sox continue their playoff struggles getting swept in the ALDS by the Athletics.

Oakland moved on to face Boston who beat the wild card winning Twins.

The Atlanta beat St Louis in the NL Wild Card but was then beat by the Cub in the NLDS. The Cubs moved on to face Philadelphia who beat Colorado.


Boston Beat Oakland in the ALCS to face the Cubs who beat Philly in the NLCS

and the Cubs won the World Series in 6 games over Boston..

Playoff MVP's were Andrew Benintendi (BOS) and Anthony Rizzo (CHC) and Gleyber Torres (CHC) won the World Series MVP


Well off to the offseason and MLB 19.

I'm running a Jays franchise, and I just had the craziest game that I've ever had playing the show. Here's the box score:

WSH 0 0 1 4 0 1 1 0 2 1 4 1-15
TOR 2 3 0 2 0 1 0 0 1 1 4 2-16

I'm typically a fan of tight, low scoring games, and I've had a ton of really good ones while playing the show for the past half a dozen years or so, but this one was by far the best. t was one of those games that at one moment you're so frustrated that you want to throw something and then the next you're jumping up and down. That 11th inning was WILD.

My Dodgers lost game 2. We return to Chavez Ravine down 0-2 in the NLDS.

Well I just finished my first amateur draft and seemed to do ok, but not as great as I was hoping. Got some learning to do on how to best scout/draft players. My Mariners are 31-38 right now in our 1st year, but still fighting.

Mike Leake went down for a couple months so I decided to pull our top prospect Justus Sheffield up from the minors and it's been a rocky start so far. In 5 starts he has an ERA around 6. Hoping to not kill his confidence too much.

As for the minors, my two other top pitching prospects Justin Dunn and Sixto Sanchez (Got Sixto for JP Crawford) are both pitching well hoping to get the call up in the near future. I played a game with my AA team to get a better feel for some prospects like Kyle Lewis and Jared Kelenic, which was fun as they are domimation their league currently.

Long ways to go still to compete for a title, but its all moving forward!

I enjoy following everyone's franchises. Good luck to all!

Unfortunately my Dodgers were eliminated in the NLDS by the Nationals. We gave up our first grand slam of the season in game 2 and although we won game 3 back at Dodger Stadium, were eliminated after game 4 (3-1 series loss).

Right now the Indians and Nationals are tied 2-2 in the World Series so it's basically a 3 game series.

Over the offseason I'll be looking to add another RHP starter because we have an imbalance of lefties. Buehler didn't progress enough to be a permanent starter at the start of the next season so I'll be working him out of the bullpen. Likewise, I'll be adding Maeda to the starting rotation after he missed the final 2 months of the regular season.
