Ultimately it shouldn't matter for me this week but does anyone else have a ton of guys sitting today?

I have nine hitters not playing. On Sunday. I had to do a double take.

Probably means your team has good to great players and the teams want to add a double rest day since Monday is typically a travel-off day. Need them fresh for wildcard and playoff pushes.

So far I only have one player out but quite a few west coast players on my team. I’m holding on and could be undone by a big hitting stat line or my staff imploding today. I must have lead the league in winning matches M- and then losing 9-3 by Sunday night.

My season is officially over! Really fun season, even if my team folded at the end. I'll be dropping my other league next season and be laser focused on this one next season, so watch out! But seriously, thanks to everyone in this league. We have enough who take it seriously enough to make it really fun. One reason I am dropping my other league.

Congrats to Steve and GuyFawkes for making the final.
Steve had a dominant second half, and Fawkes probably had the best record the last 6-7 weeks or so, so the 2 best teams in the last 2 months probably made the final.

I thought I had a decent enough few days on Friday and Saturday to at least make Steve think about a few moves.

Hurricane Helene playing havoc on the championship.

7/60 hitting on Friday and Saturday

[Guy Fawkes]

Coming down the wire but I don’t think it’ll be enough. He has too many horses for my rag tag offense. Just needed to somehow win two categories on offense to potentially win.

Didn’t help myself by not playing my 5/6 (Nick Martinez) add that went 8 scoreless, with a quality start but no win.

As far as I can tell it comes down to something very simple tomorrow.

Guy Fawkes needs Edwin Diaz to get at least 2 strikeouts to then have a chance to win.
If Edwin Diaz gets 2 or more strikeouts, Symphony Steve needs the Mets to use Sean Manaea out of the pen on 2 days rest and for Manaea to get at least 1K.

Diaz getting 2K's in a crucial doubleheader seems to be a pretty decent possibility. Manaea being used for an inning or two in a crucial game also seems like a possibility as well.

Every other category seems locked down one way or the other.

Only other out is Alonso going off with 4+ rbis but I would need Vientos/Winkler/Harris do nothing so seems unlikely.

I lose the tiebreaker as I should since my team only played well the last five weeks of the season.

I was traveling from Portland to Philly (4 1/2 hours coast to coast, and had no idea that Eovaldi was gonna start today.

I also would have had Burleson in the lineup since several players were sitting out the last game.

Having said that, I think that Guy picking up Martinez but forgetting to activate him balances that out.

On such things pennants are won and lost...

Congrats to GuyFawkes on winning the playoffs. Amazingly it came down to one strikeout by Edwin Diaz on the final day.

Also Steve dominating the regular season, especially the second half, deserves recognition as well.
