2024 ARBA World Series - Austin at Sewell
(Preview)
The 2024 ARBA World Series featured the Austin Greyhounds (109-53) and Sewell Tadpoles (96-66). Austin barely survived a 7-game battle with Cork in the 1st round but then had an easier time dispatching the Plucky Quad Cities Cubs in 5 games. This is Austins 5th WS appearance but 1st since 2020 and aba...

Redwood Still Shopping
(Preview)
With just a month left before the trade deadline, the rebuilding Pioneers are still shopping players that would be welcomed gifts under the trees of contenders. We're looking for youth and picks in return. Dean Kremer - A solid addition to the starting rotation, with a 4.10 ERA over 24 starts and 130...

SEW @ CMD LCS
(Preview)
Game 1 Ohtani vs Eovaldi Ketel Marte opened the scoring for SEW with a solo homer in the second, but the third was pivotal. With one out Noda hit a solo homer to make it 2-0 and the next batter walked. CMD went to the pen in an attempt to stop the rally before it started, only to watch Alexander walk the onl...

WOO-SSS Trade
(Preview)
(Apologies if duplicates show up -- I think the original post went to Spam) Hollywoo! had traded Cody Bradford to Salem for Kenley Jansen, $100, and SSS#2. The Horsemen expect that Jansen will, once again, use "California Lovin'" by Tupac as his walk-in music.

Terrible Pitchers for Sale - Need someone to eat lots of innings?
(Preview)
One boy - boy for sale He's going cheap... Fine boy - boy for sale He's yours to keep At the risk of re-creating a scene from "Oliver" - a truly unwatchable show if ever there was one (don't agree? come at me and then we will move on to Les Mis, it will get very dark, very quickly) -- Hollywoo! is offering som...

Cork trade talk
(Preview)
Cork remains in need of RH pitching. But we are also looking for an outfield bat. Also, Harrison Bader is on the block. Probable "1" in CF and OK vs RHP. Happy Thanksgiving. Dave (Cork)

OK, who needs a closer?
(Preview)
With Munoz and Scott as options to close, Salem could stand to move grizzled veteran Kenley Jansen, ideally in exchange for a younger, cheaper reliever of quality who doesn't necessarily have a closer rating. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Hollywoo! Pitchers Available
(Preview)
Hollywoo! has some extra pitching available to round out your staff. Grizzled Veteran Jose Quintana can give you 170+IP with a 3.75 ERA. You could certainly do worse. If you want to go one step down in quality, consider JP Sears (180 IP, 4.38 ERA) or Austin Gomber (165 IP, 4.75 EAR). If you want a youngi...

San Francisco Offseason
(Preview)
The rebuild of San Francisco is over and the team is looking to compete in 2025. Overall, the roster looks pretty set, but there are still a few positions where we need help. We have holes at SS, 3B, a Starting Pitcher or two, and a closer. To help fill these holes, the team would entertain the idea of mov...

Austin 2025
(Preview)
Austin's 2024 season hasn't ended yet but I should probably post something about their 2025 plans. Many of their key contributors won't help next season for a variety of reasons, including a truly gross one. However, they still have Soto, Devers, Profar (thanks, Tom!) and enough other good players...

CLCS: Quad Cities at Austin
(Preview)
It snowed yesterday here in Schaumburg but the ARBA playoffs are still alive! In the CLCS, Quad Cities (86-76) vanquished mighty Harmony Grove in 6 games to earn their place against the Austin Greyhounds (109-53), who barely survived a 7-game series with Cork. Austin won 23 more games in the regular...
