OOTP9: Vienna Cannibals in Major Languish Baseball(tm)

[Syt]

In a bit of an upset the Cannibals beat the Alberta Administrators at Richard Nixon Stadium. The Admins didn't even manage to get a hit off the Vienna pitchers.

My batting stats aren't too bad, but it appears my pitchers need some loving.

In a bit of an upset the Cannibals beat the Alberta Administrators at Richard Nixon Stadium. The Admins didn't even manage to get a hit off the Vienna pitchers.

Not cool to pull the pitcher in the 8th inning of a no-hitter when up by 6 runs.

Also you may want to have Rogers cool it on the basepaths.  21 for 38 attempts is not a good ratio, even for your suspect offense.

[Syt]

I guess the AI pulled the pitcher because he was tired (Endurance 14).

I noticed that, too (Rogers ration, Graziadei is also 33-22, Salvenmoser 12-14). I already reduced their eagerness to run in their strat settings.

Standings end of August. With only 15 games of the regular season to go I guess there's not much chance for the Cannibals to go to the Play Offs.



Considering the low budget roster I have I'm rather pleased with the results, though.

Final standings at the end of the regular season:


The Wildcard teams are:
Arkansas Drunkards
Baltimore Irish
San Francisco Grabbers
Bristol Possessors
Montreal Foxes
Jakarta Blades
Oxnard Trolls
Vancouver Crazies

Leaders:

Yes, Yates is second best batter in the league.

Btw, I will probably divide the league into two subleagues for the next season.

Play off pairings are:

Vancouver Crazies 3 - Kentucky Legionaires 1
Oxnard Trolls 3 - Portland Baldies 2
Jakarta Blades 0 - Alberta Administrators 3
Bristol Possessors 0 - London Braziers 3
San Francisco Grabbers 1 - New York Robins 3
Montréal Foxes 1 - Copenhagen Hive 3
Baltimore Irish 3 - Seoul Admirals 0
Arkansas Drunkards 1 - Warsaw Foot Ticklers 3

[Syt]

A bit of a surprise that the Kentuckians died in the first round, considering that they dominated the entire regular season.

Second Round.
Oxnard 4 - Vancouver 3
London 4 - Alberta 0
Copenhagen 3 - New York 4
Warsaw 1 - Baltimore 4

[Syt]

Oxnard 2 - London 4
Baltimore 1 - New York 4

[Syt]

The London Brazier win the Languish Series 4-1.

For the coming season the league is divided into the European & Asian League (EAL) and the North American League (NAL).

The voters are clearly prejudiced against northern teams.
