MPs ready for Series 48: Clowns

Visiting team MP deadline is Friday, September 6th, 11 PM EDT. Series results are due Sunday, September 8th, 11 PM EDT.

For game 1, CM should be OK.

Before game 2, please activate De Aza from the DL and then use lineups 3/4 as appropriate for games 2 and 3.

For all games, if the CM tries to use Ciriaco to bat vs a LHP and one of the following bench players is available, have the first player on this list who's available PH for him (even if the CM has inserted Ciriaco as a PH to get to this point):

Guzman
Keppinger
Hairston
Gentry
Venable
Lucroy
Seager
Barnes
Johnson
Howard

After PH for Ciriaco, the CM can be reactivated and should be fine figuring out any necessary moves going forward.

So you want me to manually intervene if the computer tries to PH Ciriaco vs. a LHP?

Why is that necessary?

Wild Series

Game 1: Dillon Gee throws a complete game shutout. BDM wins 4-0.
Game 2: BDM jumps out to a 5-1 lead, but the pen can't hold it. Outlaws 7-6 in 10 innings.
Game 3: James Shield has a no-hitter through 6, and a 1 hitter, 2-0 lead through 8.1. He then proceeds to give up a run on a triple and Sac fly, and then loads the bases on an E, single and BB, before getting Saltalamacchia to win. Outlaws win 2-1.

Yes, because he only has 3 PAs left vs LHP but has plenty of PT vs RHP left, and his platoon partner, Johnson, has only a handful of PAs left vs RHP, so I'm in a position where I effectively need to reverse platoon them since I have no other real SS.

Attached is a new MP. Please use the following lineups:

vs. Sanchez: lineup #5 vs. RHP road extra
vs. Liriano: lineup #1 vs. LHP road
vs. Buchholz: lineup #2 vs. RHP road

Rotation: Happ, Luebke, Arroyo
Please use saved Lineup #3 vs LHP, Lineup #4 vs Gallardo, Lineup #6 vs Kennedy, choose between #4 & #6 for other RHP depending on whether splits are more like Gallardo or Kennedy

Indians take 2 of 3.

Wolves bats explode for 20 runs over the middle 10 innings but get only 2 over the other 17, giving them one blowout victory, but allowing the Heroes to eke out close wins in the other two games. Pythagoras has filed an official protest with the commissioner.

G1: Zimmermann throws a complete game and Kottaras hits a go-ahead slam in the 5th to lead the Canadians to a 7-2 victory.

G2: Isotopes take an early 4-0 lead. Canadians come back in the 5th to tie it at 4. Isotopes take a 5-4 lead in the top of the 6th, just to see the Canadians answer back with a 3 spot in the bottom of the inning to lead 7-5. Then, the Isotopes spoil the Canadians' party with another answer in the top of the 7th to tie the game at 7. The game would go to extras where the Canadians waste multiple opportunities to end the game, but then put three singles together in the 12th to win 8-7.

G3: The finale is another tight one, and also very sloppy as the teams combine for 4 errors. Canadians lead early 3-1, and like game 2, the opposing team answers. Isotopes lead 4-3 in the 5th where they give up the lead and are now tied 4-4. Upton comes up in the 8th and blasts a 2-run HR to break the 4-4 tie. In the 9th, the Canadians' bullpen makes things a little interesting as Howell can't retire a batter and gives up a run. But, Chris Perez is able to close out the game and complete a huge sweep.

In this series there were 10 lead changes, 2 one-run games, and 5 ties.

Marauders suck. Clowns sweep. That is all.

Two of three. We're barely alive. Konerko with a dagger home run in the ninth to take Game 2 for Hamilton.

Hares take 2.
