Congrats to the Giants! Hopefully PUA can do some damage in the coming years.

2582 Postseason

* * * *

WILD CARD SERIES

Titan Kraken @ Harmony 1’s – The Titan Kraken pulled off a major upset, as they defeated the heavily favored Harmony 1’s in an INSTANT CLASSIC series. After the 1’s won on a walk-off victory in Game 1, the Kraken unleashed their inner beast and won two straight road games, each by one run. In Game 3, the 1’s were ready to clinch the series but the Kraken rallied for two runs in the top of the ninth inning to put them on top, 6-5. The Kraken held on in the bottom of the 9th inning to advance to the Astro League Divisional Series against rival Titania.

Kennedy Rockets @ Pamoja Rockets – In Game 1, the Kennedy Rockets handled the Pamoja Guardians easily with an 8-3 victory. But in Game 2, the two teams battled all the way to the 11th inning, where the Guardians won on a walk-off home run from Alex Perez to make it a 7-6 ballgame. The next night, the Guardians also put up 7 runs to defeat the Rockets, 7-6, to advance to the next round.

DIVISIONAL SERIES

Titan Kraken @ Titania Spirits – The Titan Kraken hoped that the momentum from upsetting the Harmony 1’s would carry them past the Titania Spirits, but the Spirits thought otherwise. The Spirits swept the Kraken out of the sea to advance to the ALCS in three games.
Mars Warriors @ Jupiter Kings –  Even with a Game 1 loss on Jupiter to the Kings, the Mars Warriors managed to win their next three straight games to move past the Kings to the ALCS.

Pamoja Guardians @ Ganymede Giants – AL Middle rivals Ganymede Giants and Pamoja Guardians faced off against each other in the CLDS with the 106-win Giants predictably coming out on top. The Giants won the series, 3 games to 1.
Oort Comets @ Venus Reign – The Oort Comets finally won their first postseason series. I suppose the third time’s a charm! The Comets streaked past the Venus Reign in four games, including a walk-off win in Game 3.

* * * *

LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIPS
 
Mars Warriors @ Titania Spirits – The Mars Warriors got out to a great start by winning the first two games on the road on Titania. After moving the series to Mars, the Spirits responded with a victory in Game 3 to make it a 2-1 series. But the Warriors took advantage of their home-field advantage and upset the Spirts in 5 games to advance to the Galactic Series.
 
Oort Comets @ Ganymede Giants – The Comets are going streaking! The Oort Comets have pulled out a major upset as they dominated the 106-win Ganymede Giants in just 5 games. The Comets took Game 1, but the Giants tied the series at 1-1. Then it was all Comets from there, as they won three straight home games on the USS Oort, parked at the Ganymede Terminal (largest orbiting space station above Ganymede) to clinch the series. In just their third season in franchise history, the Comets are heading to the Galactic Series.

* * * *

Galactic Series Preview – Even though the Comets has three more wins than the Warriors, Mars is still the favored team in the series given their historical standing in the league and the Comets’ inexperienced roster. Will the Comets win their first ever title in their third season, or will the Warriors take home their 8th Galactic Series win?



Game 1: MARS 4 @ OORT 3 – If the Oort Comets were expecting the pressure of the playoffs to get to Honorato Morales, they underestimated the old man.
 
The Mars Warriors got a strong start from the 37-year-old left-hander. Morales threw 5 innings allowing 2 runs as Mars won the contest 4-3 at Comets Ballpark to take the lead in their best-of-7 series with the Comets. The Warriors now lead 1-0.
 
Mars used the timely hitting of Charlie Fishburn to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Warriors on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.
 
"It's a mindset," said Morales. "Just trying to do your job, trying to be consistent."
 

Game 2: MARS 7 @ OORT 0 – Mars Warriors manager Jon Roybal knew it was a gamble to give the start to a rookie. It was a good gamble to take.
 
Pitching in front of a hostile crowd on the USS Oort docked at the Martian Shipyards in the orbit of Mars, 22-year-old left-hander Rodger Urena silenced the host Oort Comets. The Warriors shut out the Comets by a final score of 7-0, to give the Warriors a 2-0 advantage in the best-of-7 Galactic Series.
 
Urena earned the win, going 7 strong innings for Mars. The native of Neiva, Colombia, Earth, allowed just 1 hit, while striking out 9. Oort hitters did next to nothing against the left-hander.
 
"There's never a lack of effort in our clubhouse. We're willing to do the little things to get the win," Urena told the Mars Citizen.
 
 
Game 3: OORT 2 @ MARS 1 – Already down in the Galactic Series, the Oort Comets put on their best show, beating the Mars Warriors by a final score of 2-1 today in Ares City, Mars. Kahumanu Siteti was special. He threw 7 innings of 4-hit ball. Oort now trails Mars 2-1 in the best-of-7 affair.
 
In his 92-pitch effort, Siteti allowed 1 run on 4 hits over 7 innings. He walked 1 and struck out 7.
 
"Kahumanu was throwing strikes, locating well," said Oort manager Ho-cheol Jung.
 

Game 4: OORT 7 @ MARS 2 – The Oort Comets defeated the Mars Warriors, 7-2 in Game 4 of the Galactic Series today. Making an impact was shortstop Alfredo Perez, who went 2 for 3 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 times. The win moves Oort into a 2-2 tie with Mars in the series.
 
Oort used the bat of Ryuji Matsui to get the win. The center fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Comets ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it did its damage.
 
"It's true for every sport, I think, but the playoffs are so short that you've just got to get in and get hot," Oort manager Ho-cheol Jung told reporters after the win. "We took care of the first part and now we're just working on the second."
 

Game 5: OORT 2 @ MARS 3 – The Mars Warriors faced a challenging opponent in Oort Comets right-hander Hampus Knudsson, but did just enough to squeak out a 3-2 win in Game 5 of the Galactic Series today. Mars now leads 3-2 in the best-of-7 series. The Warriors won despite the Comets getting an excellent start from starter Knudsson, who allowed 3 runs and scattered 4 hits over 7 innings.
 
Alonzo Ramirez, who led the AL in wins above replacement with 9.7 this season, chipped in for Mars with a solo home run in the bottom of the sixth. For the game, the shortstop had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 1 RBI.
 
"We're happy," Ramirez told reporters after the win. "When you're in the playoffs, you've got to treat every game like it could be your last."
 

Game 6: MARS 7 @ OORT 4 – It's party time on Mars! The confetti is flying and Martians are smiling.
 
The Mars Warriors have reached the mountaintop, capturing the 2582 Galactic Series today. They defeated the Oort Comets 7-4 at Comets Ballpark to officially wrap up the series 4-2.
 
Asked how it feels to be champion, shortstop Alonzo Ramirez was to the point.
 
"It feels great, like a million bucks. I'm so happy right now, not just for me but for all the guys," he said. "We put a lot of work into this and deserve to be champions."
 
Ramirez also picked up the series MVP by leading the team with 12 hits and batting .444 in the series.
 
The Galactic Series win was the Warriors’ 8th in franchise history, good for 3rd of all time in league history.
 
The team is planning a victory parade and fan appreciation day later in the week. Mars finished the regular season 88-74 and claimed first place in the Astro League Inner Division.

Wow, congrats to the Warriors! It's tough to see the Emperors so far down the standings, hopefully they can make it to the top.

My Atlanteans aren't much better. Hopefully we both can get some needed prospects in here to turn the franchises around.

*crickets*

Hi guys? Anybody out there? I'm in space. Hope people can hear me scream? No? 

Alright then. 

Kidding! Just checking in and see how it's going around these boards. Sorry I haven't posted in forever. Life, as always, got in the way. 

But I will tell you that I have been working on an "expansion" team for the last few days and once I'm done with that, hopefully I'll get something posted in this thread! If anybody wants to give me feedback on the expansion team, just send me a PM and I'll share what I have so far! 

Thanks! Hope all is well with you guys. 

Much love, 
RR9

Hi everybody! Long time no talk! 

I just wanted to do a quick post on the 2583 season for the Solar League with a couple of screenshots from my OOTP save. I already have plans on expanding this league, and will do so sometime soon in the next few days/weeks or so. I have some BIG plans on expanding and I'm excited to share them with you! Yes. Real big. If you thought 32 teams were enough, lol, you thought wrong. Yes, I will still be simming the OOTP save, but these posts would probably be a little bit shorter because I want to "fast-forward" a little bit and focus on the expansion teams and their storylines and whatnot. I hope you're cool with that! 

Anyway, here's the quick recap for the latest season, coming in the year 2583.
