Satchel and Phillies move over. 435 game winner McClain turning 50
Pirates batting reserves might be the weakest of any modern team I've had.
Thanks guys! Kind of a shame the Phillies WS no hitter didn't get rewarded
Congrats 54!
Congrats Orioles!
First 3 years in the league, 3 Cy Young awards! Tigers say goodbye to Dan petry
Wow! Team on fire
Thanks Babe.
Congrats Phillies! Bystrom too much
Thanks sled. Didn't even see that
Clemens tosses a perfect game 7 vs Twins! Congrats babe.
Thanks Roz. I'll be getting our next season going soon
Boston puts on a masterful playoff run. Grats babe.
Blah, needed to sweep the As to tie for division
Twins can't beat the A's. Portugal loses a 2 hitter. Lol

Hey all. Just sharing the startup of a new league. It's college with some interesting ideas like NIL, transfer, etc
Hey all. Just sharing the startup of a new league. It's college with some interesting ideas like NIL, transfer, etc
Check the link to see rules...Let me know if you want a spot. https://www.pennantchase.com/league.. NIL money, transfer portal, shorter college seasons, Tanking doesn't work because winning teams get choice of recruits! Looking at 24 teams to start (Have 5-6 as I write this). First come, first served for College affiliation. (I will reorganize conferences once all teams are set.
At 45 he was not the oldest Oriole to retire this offseason
Orioles Wally Bunker retires with 455 career wins and 3 Cy Young awards. His arm fell off a couple of years ago but it took this long for the Orioles to find replacements
Congrats Cards.
Jason Thompson just made it to 400 homers and thought it was a good time to retire
Nice job, glory
Awesome, thank you!
Cards take the title 4-1, congrats!
Congrats Phils.
Dave Boswell retires with 411 wins, 5 CYAs, 5 no hitters including 2 perfect games
3 time 20 game winner Moose won't make 300.... retiring at 281
Thanks!
Congrats to Grumpy and his Phils!
30-8 since fixing rotation. Too late to catch Boston
Ahh, the genius that i. Couldn't figure out why the tigers were struggling. I had failed to change back from playoff 4 man rotation 😪
Thanks !😊 . Took a while for Tigers to get going.
Congrats to those Tigers! Very tough this year
That sucks Sled. If it's any consolation, the Tigers would have been tough to get past for the AL title
Twins lose 11 of 12. Total collapse.
Lee Smith and Darrell Jackson on trade block. Need youth in return.
Lots of retooling in Pitt
Pirates retooling continues as 1978 MVP (101 ex̌ base hits and 436 homers also hangs it uptra base hits)
Some might critisize him for only 105 HRs in 21 seasons (and maybe a .210 average but Gene Alley never was caught in 31 sb attempts and had 736 defensive saves. Hats off to his retirement
Kent Teku, owner of 2 of the greatest relief seasons ever of 20-1 and 19-3 has retired.
Grats!
Thanks, great to finally get past the Red Sox and go all the way.
Congrats to Urban and the White Sox! Great season
Indians make early season statement
Bob Robertson and his 557 homers has retired
Wow! Down 0-2. Beat a real good team.
Congrats to Ro and his Tigers, great season!
Pirates can't close
I believe Gene alley has been eligible for slump busters for 15 straight years
Why? You getting stoned with your players?
The Indians are going to change their name to the "Greatful Dead."
Boswell has over 400win. Cy Young look out
That was 40
Milt may who had 9 straight seasons of 49 homers (1 60, 1 50) retires
24 years! Tigers win!
You didn't have to take it out on the pirates
109 wins and the Red Sox miss the playoffs 😬
Florida isn't that bad
Florida
Good Luck play-off teams. My players are heading for Flordia.
Unlike OBC, you are a scholar and gentleman
Thank you ro, I didn't want to show any favorites so I thought I better go ahead and beat both of your teams
Thank you babe
Is Pittsburgh ever going to get a young SS? Alley starting his 20th season.
Duke is a bigger heart breaker than my first first girl friend
Beat both my teams, blah lol. Grats!
Cards pull it out, congrats!
And game 7 vs Detroit!
Game 7 Pittsburgh vs cards
Jeez, can Pittsburgh hang on!? Big collapse
Tigers 9 games under PYTH, Yanks 7 over.... tied in standings
Looks like an end to the Red Sox dynasty
BTW - a belated shout out to Wally Bunker... 14 years between Cy Youngs!
Well crap! The one league I didn't have to worry about that %$#@^$# OBC
I was ecstatic to see how well Carbo was hitting, then I immediately saw Bench hitting .088. OOF!
You got em! Welcome bobcat
A's please!
Thanks Stan
Congrats Babe.
Red Sox win this year's title. Great season and series by the Cards, but just came up short
Red sox take 2 of 3 vs tigers to clinch at least a tie for pennant
Up to 24-4 but Red sox go 16-8.... time running out
Tigers 15 of 16 but don't know if they can catch the bosox
Old age seems to be catching up to pirates
Kip young perfect game!!
Thanks urban
Congrats Dodgers
Dodgers score 8 in the 15th inning to take this year's title
47 yr old Clemente announced his retirement after the pirates playoff. "Pops said he bought an extra rocking chair so I will be joining him. " clemente goes with 2790 hits.
Twins swept by Boston in season opening series.
I have plenty of good pitching. Looking for a big bat. Let's talk.
The joyous Pirate ring ceremony was tempered with tears of sadness as the unquestioned leader of the family announced his retirement."it's time" said the 2 time MVP winner Pops Stargell. He takes 5 200 hit seasons, 728 homers, and 1900+ rbis with him
Congrats Ro - nice season
Congrats Pirates, get you next time.
And one tough 7 game series with urban.
Thanks! We've been eating boston's dust for a while....9 titles! That is plain awesome.
Congrats to Ro and his Pirates!
Game 7
Despite 115 wins there won't be a 4-peat. Different Sox team in championship this year.
Orioles close season on a 28-5 run....to finish 17 games back.
And swept again...😅😆😁
And swept by the Cubs...AGAIN! Yikes.
Crazy stat. The Gianta have lost 3 series all season...2 are to the Cubs who have swept them twice !
Pirates have definite WS runner-up blahs
You jinxed me sled. I'll have to get you for that 😏
Please don't have mth3 Twins open vs Boston every year! Lol. Get swept and 0 runs. Haha.
Pittsburgh got a little revenge in the other league
Don't take this personally - I hope you're not lol
Thanks Ro. Those Bucs are sure tough. They'll be back
3-peat!!
Grats sox!
4 extra inning games. White Sox win the 4th
May continues torrid hitting
AL championship has gone to extras in all 3 games so far (Red Sox won all 3)
Twinsade a run but couldn't get it done. Congrats White Sox.
Jim Freeman throws almost perfect game against Red Sox. ! error.
May goes 6-6 and knocks In 9 but the really wild thing is he was thrown out in the first trying to steal. He has a speed of 1🤪
Carew 0 for the opening series vs the Red Sox.
Thanks Ro. They almost came back from 3-0. Great series Reds
Heck of a Reds series! Grats Sox
Geez, 109 wins not enough. Grats Gerhig and Reds
Reds/pirates to the wire!
Another nail biter in the NL
Lynn McGlothlen no hits the A's.
Tigers infield age drops about 10 years
Messersmith faces 27 in no-hittering pirates
Former MVP Norm Cash with 573hr and 1799rbi released.
Lol, maybe next year Ro
Revenge!
Congrats Red sox!!
Had to beat Dodgers 5 times lol
Trying
nice job ro, go git em
And 162 lol
Tied after 161
Down to the wire in the East
At 13-2 run make it competitive
Defending champs can't seem to put anything together
As and Indians go 22!
Say goodbye to Willie Hortons 424 HR
Thanks! After losing 4 and 5 the pucker was getting tight.
Congrats Pirates!
Pirates win in 6! Merrrrry Christmas!
Red Sox pitching falling apart. 3-0 Bucs
"11/26/2023 3:01 PM: Sigh, Boston roars back from 2-0. "
Lol how soon you forget
Bucs win 2 in Boston. Not looking good for the Sox
I was going to ask about Boswell lol. Never would have thought he would have processed like that based on his Twin seasons. Be our first 300 game winner in a year and a half
Then you check out your opponent- 119 wins, +350 diff, MVP and Cy Young!
You know, you feel pretty good about your team... 114 wins, +268 win diff, MVP winner
Thanks Sledwards, he sure has been better than expected
Sure glad I traded you Boswell Sox. Lol. I didn't understand how progressi9ns and atat change worked back then. Congrats.
Sure glad I traded you Boswell Sox. Lol. I didn't understand how progressi9ns and atat change worked back then. Congrats.
Woo hoo ! I won a game. Lol. The Sox are just too much.
They went off in game 3 with 10 runs
Will the Twins even score A run in the series? Different season, same result.
Moret with a perfect game in game 2 of the LCS
Nice and he ends up at 20-1
Ken Tekulve 19-1!
Thanks Ro!
Sigh, Boston roars back from 2-0. Grats Babe.
Boswell with a 1 hitter in the Series
More scar tissue for Cubs fans......Good luck Bucs!
Not sure why I bother trying to the division. Zero chance. Lol
Playoff no-hitter for Boswell
He might have been listening, only 2 hits in this shutout lol
Twins with 10 losses in a row. I give up figuring out baseball along with basketball.
May have to bench McClain- gave up 4 hits in latest shutout
Wow. Break up the Tigers
Well, let's get this right - over last 5 starts he has had a shutout, no hitter and a perfect game.
Oh, and shutout before those lol
Vander Meer who??!! McClain follows up his perfect game with a no-hitter🤩
The tigers throw 5 shutouts in 6 games! The 6th game? They were shutout 1-0 lol
Bart Johnson no-hits the Red Sox.
The mighty Kison with no hitter
Grats, babe. Put another close but no Bueno cigar in my drawer
Lol, well the Sox finally take a home game and win in 7. Great series by the Pirates
If it's Babe it must be game 7 lol
Visiting team wins the first 6 of the World Series. Game 7 coming up
Season long power outage in detroit
Thanks guys, glad one of my teams could do something against that powerhouse in Boston
At least I got nosed out by World Champs! Grats
Congrats Braves! Twice the Red Sox were up 3-0 then dropped the next three, but the Braves were able to complete the comeback
Run down by the Braves!
Pirates and Braves in a great race.
Giants with 9 losses in a row and counting.
Some close divisions still
After 3-11 start, Pirates grind above. 500
I think you need a new hitting coach
It is really disappointing to have all 8 position players eligible for slump busters.
Defending division champs can't get untracked
Hats off
Red Sox win their 4th in a row beating the Dodgers 4-2
Baby steps lol. Took a while to get here.
Thanks Ro. I'm sure your Bucs will be back in the hunt next year
Singer too tough- beat me 3 times. Grats Dodgers
Game 7
3 starters out
1 day
How many days off (virtual) before playoffs
Injury bug hits Pittsburgh right before playoffs!
Last in the East would be first in west.
Basketball doesn't like me either.
Giants and Twins combined 0-8. Thank goodness for PC football. I am horrible at basketball and baseball.
Congrats Red Sox ! Dominant team.
Quite a turnaround
Wow! Palmer loses 91 games in previous 4 seasons and wins 27 this year!
Pirates 10 of last 11 ..... to finish a solid 2nd lol
Congrats A's.
Twins pulling a massive choke job.
Twins pulling a massive choke job.
It is always heartwarming to see that you have 7 starters needing slump busters.
Congrats Red Sox. Just a dominant season
On their 2nd try, the Red Sox win the title
They just needed a longer break before the real series 🤣
I guess the Braves team party after the Dodgers series left them in no condition to play another series 🤮
you all realize I didnt make the playoffs ?
Yeah, the original Boz is kicking arse 😉
Worst trade in league history has to be me trading away Boswell for Tillman. 🤣
Congrats Cubs!
Cubs took out both of my teams, congrats!
Sorry Braves , I guess it just wasn't your year lol
Wow , I made the series lol
Koufax gives up 14 ERs in 9.1 IP in the playoffs as the Braves sweep
9-1 finish for pirates not enough!
Dukeblues...what a race !!
Down to wire in NL East
Merritt with the no-hitter vs Boston! Wow
Pittsburgh 13 straight!
Thanks guys!
Congratulations Red Sox, that was quite a season
