TB has to grind for one more day to get to a World Series.  It's exciting to think the Rays were a rebuild when I took them over going into the 2017 season.  Here's to a small market club making it to the dance   :toast: :win:

Thanks Paul but there’s still one day to go. Anything can happen. What you have done in :COL: in such a short time has been amazing! No matter the finish all four teams in it this weekend should be proud!

What is the ruling on pitching limits for the finals?

What is the ruling on pitching limits for the finals?

Weekly limits of 8 SP/65 innings still in place.  Each week is viewed in the same manner as the regular season.  The only change is adding the points scored in each of the weeks together.
