2019 Tampa Bay Rays Thread

[Fawesome 111]

No, last week of the regular season. Week 20 is the wild card round. Posting the updated standings soon.

[Fawesome 111]

FINAL WEEK OF THE SEASON.

 

Playoff standings if the season ended today:

Division Winners and Wildcard Byes

1. Killer B's (dominated the hypothetical championship in Week 18)

2. Jack Parkman (limping into the bye week)

Byes seem pretty locked in unless I go on a run this week.

 

Wildcard One Week Playoff:

3. Two Ankle Bracelets vs 6. Frozen Ropes

4. Fart Knockers vs. 5. Inverted Swingers

 

Still 4 teams technically alive. 3 teams within 2.5 games! Gonna be a fun week. 

Fun Notes:

-The 3 seed will be decided this week with the matchup between Two Ankle bracelets and Fart Knockers

-Both 6th place teams face off so they can't play spoiler

-ALL THE FIREWORKS

 

[Planet Houston 4944]

After seeing his team hit TWENTY FOUR bombs last week, I’d like to see Frozen Ropes out of the 6 spot. Good lord. 

[BigOrange1 6601]

he had 14 hrs, 23 runs and 27 rbis fri-sun.

[NOMAAA 1696]

yes he did.  albies and ron acuna had a good week.

[henrygandorf 29206]

so this is the last regular season week, then:

wild card: 19th-25th

semi: 26th-8th

final: 9th-22nd

so i guess we're not using the last week of the regular mlb season - which i think is smart - but i feel like is new this year.  haven't we had 20 weeks in the past or am i making that up?

[Planet Houston 4944]

This is hilarious - in our matchup this week, between the two of us, @UTPhil2006 and I have every Astro in their lineup except the catcher 😂

We've always used 20 weeks. At least when we switched to the wild card rounds.

but this season we're using 19.  that was kinda my point.

Sorry, I meant we’ve used week 20 since we switched to the WC format. I’ll look at the seasons prior.

[henrygandorf 29206]

i was too lazy to look it up, but i prefer it this way.  i hate the last week of the season.  i know i played in another league that used it, and it always bummed me out.  i could be confusing the two.

[huge 3812]

After taking what I thought was the killshot from HG two weeks ago the Discharge went 10-2 last week.  So you're saying theres a chance???

[huge 3812]

Also how the hell was my slow ass able to pick up Gio Urshela?  He has been pretty good I guess.

every time the yankees score it's on a homer by some guy who i've barely heard of.

urshula and tauchman both hung around the wire for a while.

Or 14 of them by GT against one team?

[Planet Houston 4944]

I’ll ask again - what are the payouts? Is there a portion for the winner of the regular season? I just don’t remember - although I remember being pissed at losing the top record during the last week of the season last year, so I’m guessing there is a small payout for the reg season. 

[Fawesome 111]

Payout Info:

$150 - Regular Season Champ (best overall record) - PH 

$550 - League Champion - TBD

$300 - 2nd place - TBD

$200 - 3rd place - TBD

Devers trying to drag us into the playoffs.

[NorthLoop 14397]

Parkman you throwing this one? 

[Capn81 396]

Parkman you throwing this one? 

I think so. My team is collapsing and I screwed myself up a bit last week since I thought it was the final week of the season (cost myself a game or two last week).

[NOMAAA 1696]

9.89 era.  is that bad?

[Fawesome 111]

9.89 era.  is that bad?

It’s not great Bob

[huge 3812]

and I am going to take advantage of it

[huge 3812]

Derka you are doing Gods work this week. Nomaa is hitting a ton and you are hitting a ton plus 2

[Fawesome 111]

Last day of the regular season boys. Too close to call right now.

[NorthLoop 14397]

When you add the MLB leader in steals to try and salvage a desperately needed category and his team basically cuts him the next day for sucking at everything else.

[NOMAAA 1696]

Fuckin buzzsaw is derka blew me the fuck out yesterday and today. Sorry huge. 

[NOMAAA 1696]

And nice job derka. That was impressive.

Hahah will do. 

 

[NorthLoop 14397]

Don't jinx it. Huge is 2 Schwarber steals and a Vasquez save away from knocking me out. 

[NOMAAA 1696]

How is derka not in the running with the drubbing he put on me this week?

because THISTEAMSUCKS didn't suck too much this week

[Planet Houston 4944]

[Fawesome 111]

Every category in every game matters. Assuming my calculations are correct, Derka missed out on the 6 seed by 1 game. Great effort.

[Goo Punch 4275]

you guys dodged a bullet there. as i've been saying all year mundo offense is something serious, as it showed this week. missing the playoffs by one game hurts. i wanted to defend my title. now i have to hand it off to one of you jabronis. oh well. i'll be back next year for what's mine. good luck to those who made it, i hope all of your matches end 6-6 and mired in controversy.  

[Goo Punch 4275]

also congrats to BO for coming up clutch as fuck on a week where i go 11-1-0. that should have been enough to get me in, but it wasn't. 

[Goo Punch 4275]

just checked- i owned the tiebreaker over BO by half a game. that's as close as it gets. crazy season.

[huge 3812]

Yeah that was crazy.  On Thursday I was in, now I'm baggggggout

[BigOrange1 6601]

of course the first day of my wildcard matchup i have 3 position players playing (2 being recent waiver wire additions who are complete spares) and hg has 8.  i wont lead this thing at any point this week.

Big props to Derka. Glad I didn't trade my two aces with Sale going down. Whew. 

[Capn81 396]

My whole team is heading to the 7 day IL since we have been limping along for a few weeks now.

[Fawesome 111]

Jose Leclerc will be the death of me

[Fawesome 111]

REMINDER: a tie in the playoffs goes to the higher seed

 

[Fawesome 111]

Also, we DO reseed after the wild card. #1 seed plays the lowest seed remaining. 

[NorthLoop 14397]

Just not gonna be my week this round
