A Look at the 2015 FGM Playoffs
« on: September 09, 2015, 06:13:50 PM »
Matchups: Period 23 (Mon Sep 7, 2015 - Sun Sep 13, 2015)
Away   Points                       Home Points
Chicago Cubs   317.8      Philadelphia Phillies   514.5
Texas Rangers   237.3      Oakland Athletics   347

This is how it looks going into the third day of the Championship Series.

In the National League, the Phillies, in the midst of what was supposed to be a rebuilding year, continue their storybook season with a lead over the upstart Cubs.  The #4 Cubs disposed of the #5 Giants in the Wildcard matchup and then upended the #1 seed Dodgers to advance to the Championship Series.  The Phillies have had a little magic of their own as they defeated the #2 Brewers on their way to the NLCS.

In the American League, the #5 Rangers have made an improbable playoff run.  First, they defeated the #4 Mariners in the Wildcard, and then bounced the defending FGM Champions, the #2 seeded Yankees!  The reward--a matchup in the Championship Series with the #1 seed A's.  The A's flexed their muscles with a convincing win over the #3 Twins in Divisional play.

Who will emerge as the last two standing in their quest to be the 2015 FGM Champion?  Will the Rangers continue their Cinderella season and find a way to defeat the Oakland powerhouse to advance to the World Series?  Will the Cubs continue their playoff run?  Or will it be the Phillies who get a chance to find the promised land sooner than expected?

Who will hoist the Championship Trophy  :win: and pop the champagne  :beer:?

Any predictions?  Stay tuned--it's going to be a wild ride!

Cubbies are just excited to finally make it past the Wildcard round after a couple stagnant years. With nearly all of their starting pitching taking the mound today, this could the most important day of their season.

Matchups: Period 23 (Mon Sep 7, 2015 - Sun Sep 13, 2015)
Away    Points                       Home Points
Chicago Cubs   660.6      Philadelphia Phillies   708.6
Texas Rangers   337.6      Oakland Athletics   569

As we go into the final three days of the League Championship Series, some interesting things have developed.

The Cubs have closed the cap on the Phillies and are behind by only 48 points!  The Phillies, however, have a pitching advantage because they have 3 SPs left and the Cubs have none.  Who said pitching isn't important in FGM?

Will the Cubs hitters come alive and do what they did in their two previous series?  Will they have enough firepower to overcome their depleted pitching staff?  The next three days will provide the answer.

On the other side, the Rangers seem to be fading as the A's have increased their lead. With three days to go, the A's have stretched their lead to 232 points.  In terms of pitching, the A's have 3 SPs waiting to take the mound.  The Rangers, on the other hand, have some decisions to make.  The Rangers have 4 SPs eligible to pitch, but only 3 remaining pitching spots.  Who will take the mound and who will sit?  Decisions, decisions, decisions.  Will the the three who are chosen help the Rangers' hitters continue their quest to the World Series?  Or will the A's show why they are the favorites and continue to extend their lead?

The next three days will certainly be exciting as the drama unfolds for FGM fans!  Who do you think is headed to the promised land?

C'mon cubbies!! A couple stellar performances from Strasburg and Richards have :CHC: right back in it. Let's hope the bats come alive the last few days. I'm looking at your -20 pts so far Trout! Pull yourself together.

Going into the weekend, with two days left to play, here's the latest in the FGM playoff picture:

Even though the Phillies had three players who did not play in their lineup (the Cubs had two), they managed to score 147.76 points to the Cubs negative score of -25.48.  It's looking bleak for the upstart Cubs as they have fallen 221.24 points behind the team from Philadelphia.  If a miracle finish is on the horizon, it better come on Saturday, or the the Phillies are on a collision course with the Oakland A's.

The A's have taken a commanding lead over the Rangers by outscoring them today 226.3 to 25.39.  In the two previous series the Rangers could do no wrong, but this week they have have fallen on hard times and like their counterparts from Chicago, they will need some divine intervention as they find themselves down by 432 points (795.3 to 362.95).

Unless something unexpected happens, it's shaping up to be a World Series between the Philies and the A's.  Stay tuned--maybe we'll get the surprise of our lives and something extraordinary will happen.

I'm very fortunate to make the World Series as I played some really good teams.  Congrats to Rob making it to another World Series.  Your team is amazing!!  Its going to take a lot of lucky breaks for me to beat the A's.  I'm getting killed with injuries at the wrong time.  Good luck Rob and I'm looking forward to hopefully being competitive with your team!  :toast:

Good luck as well.  I always have said, getting to the playoffs is the victory after that you never know from week to week.

  • indiansnation: Giants To Sign Blake Snell March 18th, 2024 at 8:45pm CST • By Anthony Franco 8:45pm: Snell receives a $15MM salary for the upcoming season and has a $17MM signing bonus that will not be paid until 2026, reports Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle (on X). That indicates he’ll be deciding on whether to opt out of a $30MM salary next winter, although the delayed date on the payment of the bonus reduces the team’s short-term commitment.  8:23pm: Blake Snell is in agreement with the Giants on a two-year, $62MM contract that allows him to opt out after the upcoming season, reports Jon Heyman of the New York Post (X link). San Francisco adds the defending NL Cy Young winner to the top of a staff that also includes last year’s runner-up, Logan Webb.  ADVERTISEMENT
