A Look at the 2015 FGM Playoffs

[papps]

Phillies thoroughly dominated the Cubs. Good luck and congratulations to both of you on the world series appearances!

Thanks jp!  You have a great team and I'm sure you will be contending for a title for a long time!

Congrats to the Phillies and A's for their World Series appearances. To those who didn't make it, there were some hard fought battles. Everyone should be proud of their teams to make to their respective levels in the playoffs.
Going to be an interesting 2 weeks!

Injuries, slumps, rest for starters, and a host of other factors always affect fantasy play.  For us, in any FGM matchup, whether it be during the regular season, but more so in the playoffs, the dreaded red flag is an ominious sign.  It's something none of us like to see.

The Phillies have had a successful season, and have stayed pretty much injury free, with the exception of Joe Panik.  With that, Panik contributed some solid nights last week in the Phillies matchup with the Cubs--but then Bryce Harper gets involved in a freak collision on the basepaths and has to leave the game in the 1st inning on Sunday.  Will he be available?  Will the stomach flu continue to hamper Sterling Marte and keep him out of the lineup?  Will the Giants risk playing a banged up Joe Panik with Kelby Tomlinson playing so well?  These are all important questions for the Philadelphia Phillies as they begin their World Series battle with the Oakland A's.

For their part, the red flag is nowhere in sight in the Oakland A's lineup.  The A's dusted off the red-hot Rangers and advanced to the World Series as FGM's #1 seed.  Will the powerful lineup of the A's, featuring Buster Posey, Andrew McCutchen, Josh Donaldson, Robinson Cano, and Matt Carpenter be too much for FGM's "rebuilding wonders" Phillies? 

Will the red flag be the deciding factor? Or will the FGM community be entertained by a competive, evenly matched battle that comes down to the final day?  The 2015 playoffs have had some surprises--will the World Series be any different?

Stay tuned for further updates!!!

It's a close series.

Blackmon out the last two days, Seager sitting today.  Due to injuries my lineup is sporting Reynolds, Infante, Pham, and Norris.  LOL.  And I have no pitching.  Oakland has an incredible lineup and they were clearly the best team in the league this year.  I'm happy I made it to the series this year and I'm looking forward to contending the next few years as well!!

Looks who's in the lead going into the final weekend...hmmm....


Philadelphia Phillies   2872.9      Oakland Athletics   2760.8

Can it get any closer than this?  Two more days--who will make the weekend surge?

Philadelphia Phillies   3025.9      Oakland Athletics   3026

I'm thrilled to just be competing with Oakland.  He has more pitching left which I believe will give him the edge.  I did learn this postseason that pitching is important in FGM!  I'm hoping Seager plays the next two days which may give me a shot.  Its been a great World Series so far!

This one could come down to the wire. Oakland has 3 starters Sunday but can only use 2 since he has 6 starts this  week. Decisions,decisions?
