So uh, wow. It's finally over! I'm sure you can tell I got really pressed for motivation to finish it partway through. I'm actually kind of surprised I kept this thing going for 9 months! Thanks so much to everyone who participated, I know it wasn't super interactive but I hope the writeups and stats and stuff at least provided a little entertainment. And congrats to the teams who made the postseason, and esp KCF who, as he said, were looking real rough partway through but made it all the way to the finals.

To be honest, I would be surprised if I do this again in the future, it was actually more work than I thought it would be because of having to constantly restart games if the right pitchers weren't playing at certain points (To make sure every pitcher got a somewhat equal # of starts). But I'm glad I stuck it out, not just because I ended up winning. And you can't say it was rigged, I didn't even pick this team, you all did it for me! It is funny that the 2 most dominant teams in the league didn't play, the blowfish and the platypi, but that's sports for you.

Thanks again everyone, hope you enjoyed it. It's gonna be kind of weird to not have to do this every week now! Emerald, OUT!

Emerald Snax vs Moonstars, Game 2
The answer is no for the Moonstars. Alisha Woodrow, one of the best pitchers in the league, gave up 3 runs in 4 innings before getting pulled, and the relievers weren't able to fare much better. Once again though, the offense just wilted, scoring 0 runs again on only 6 hits. Their best chance was in the 5th, down 4-0, they got the bases loaded with 1 out but it came at the worst part of the order, and Woodrow grounded into a double play to kill it. The Snax tacked on two more for insurance in the 8th to become your Super Mega Baseball champions!

Emerald Snax - 6
Moonstars - 0

Emerald Snax vs Moonstars, Game 1

The top 4 of the snax order just killed the moonstars, combining for 12 of their 13 total hits and all 5 runs, while the Moonstars only managed 4 hits total with 0 runs.
Emerald Snax - 5
Moonstars - 0
Not a good start for the moonstars, but their next 2 SPs that could pitch were 2 of the league leading pitchers this season. Will they be able to limit the Snax in the next game!?

Platypi vs Emerald Snax, Game 2
Both teams got runs in the 1st this time, but the Platypi got another in the 2nd to take a lead. The Snax got 3 runs in the 4th and 5th though, to take another 4-2 lead, but the platypi cut it to 1 with a homer in the 7th. However, they couldn't tie the game back up; they had a few hits with 2 outs but couldn't capitalize on them.

Platypi - 3
Emerald Snax - 4
The Snax are your division reps in the final! (I'm not cheating I promise)

The Platypi took an early lead with a home run in the 1st inning, but the Snax got it back in the 3rd. Rinse and repeat for the 4th and 6th and we're tied at 2 thru 6, but the Snax finally break through with a 2 run homer in the 7th. Then, with 2 outs in the 9th, the Platypi plate 1 to cut the lead, but fall short of bringing that tying run home.

Game 2
This one played out much like the last one. 1st inning 2 run homer for the moonstars, the bucs get it back with one of their own in the 6th, and we would stay like that for regulation. However, this one went to the 15TH INNING. Finally, in the 15th, the Bucs manage to plate a run and break the tie, so in the bottom of the 15th the moonstars come up to bat. With 2 outs, they manage to single and walk for their best bench hitter to come to the plate, with his stats massively boosted because of the intensity of the situation...AND HE DELIVERS! A 3 run homer in the bottom of the 15th sends the Buccaneers home and the Moonstars to the championship!

Moonstars - 5
Buccaneers - 3

Great couple of games from both sides! Good job bucs for making it this far!

The time is now. As mentioned a long time ago, playoffs are best of 3 games. Here we go!

Moonstars vs Buccaneers Game 1
This series represents the opposition of 2 fundamental aspects of the game: Pitching vs hitting.
The Moonstars started off fast with a homer in the 1st inning, while the Bucs managed to pull even in the 5th with one of their own. Then in the 7th, both teams logged runs to stay even, and we would stay that way for the rest of regulation. Extras baby!

We went scoreless in extras until the 12th! The moonstars managed to get another run while the bucs failed to capitalize on a leadoff hit in the bottom of the inning. Moonstars pitcher Slip Sauder logged what may have been a league-high 10 strikeouts! Opposing pitcher Slip Vanderwink was no slouch either, going TEN INNINGS to try and keep his team in it.

Moonstars - 3
Buccaneers - 2

For pitchers, despite Rouge having a lower ERA, I think the best pitcher this season has been Tim Spoony-Barger of the Orange Army. A 1.45 ERA and .54 WHIP are just too good. Rouge did not even crack the top 5 in WHIP which shows me TSB's ERA is more legit. He did only K 11, but he also had one fewer start than some other pitchers who got a 6th start.

For 2nd, I will go with Alisha Woodrow of the Moonstars. To me, WHIP is a better indicator of pitching performance than ERA, and Woodrow's sits pretty at .76 while also logging a very impressive 2.39 ERA, just missing out on the top 5. She had 6 starts but she did come in 2nd place with that with 22 Ks, so she missed bats frequently too.

For 3rd, I will go with Mothza Supreme of the Emerald Snax. He had a 2.05 ERA but a WHIP of .81, which is 5 pts higher than woodrow. He also logged 6 starts and turned it into 3 fewer Ks than Woodrow with 19.

Best Hitters and Best Pitchers
This is the general category I was referring to. This is my own opinion of course, but I'll be taking into account all factors to determine who in my eyes were the best overall hitters and pitchers this season!

For hitters, I think the #1 spot has to go to Estelle Costanza of the Blowfish. She had 22 RBI, 9 HR, and led the league with a .493 OBP%. What makes the difference to me though, is that she is the only one on her entire team who had a stolen base, and she had 2 of them. Taking a bit of a backseat in the hitting counting stats is more than made up by her stealing. She also maintained her better obp over 3 more plate appearances than Frank. It's a razor thin margin though.

#2, her teammate Frank Costanza led with 24 RBI, tied for the lead with 10 homers, took 3rd in OBP% with .457...he was just an all around beast. If he had stolen even 1 base I might have given 1st to him.

#3 is a bit harder, but I am going to go with Scooter Sandbrick of the Platypi. It's a hard choice between him, his teammate Beefcake McStevens, and a few others, but his power, tying for the lead with 10 homers and taking 3rd with 21 RBIs, along with having an obp almost good enough for the top 5 with .418, really shows his all around ability at the plate.

Star Player Points
This is a bit of a different system than standard stats. At the end of every game, 3 players are awarded a 1, 2, and 3 star rating for their performance. Think stars from hockey. This will be the crop of players who allotted the most star points, and I split them up between hitters and pitchers. It doesn't really gauge how good they were stat-wise, but more about how many games they had a big impact on.

1st star hitting: Lord Skeletor of the Orange Army with 16 points! He didn't excel in anything but he was an all around great performer for the OA this season.
2nd star hitting: Magneto of the X-men! 14 points
3rd star hitting: Herbert Hackman of the Beewolves! 13 points

1st star pitching: Alisha Woodrow of the Moonstars! 12 points
T-2nd star pitching: Elmo Slayer, also of the Moonstars! 9 points
T-2nd star pitching: Mothza Supreme of the Emerald Snax! 9 points

Ooookay! Time to hand out some awards! We'll be going over the tops at each stat I kept track of, as well as my opinion on some more general awards, and I'll also post the total leaderboard in the stat categories afterwards!

On-base %
To nobody's surprise, a blowfish player takes top honors in this category: Estelle Costanza with a .493 OBP!

Steals
The aptly named Damien Rush of the Buccaneers logged 7 steals this season, 2 more than the next highest people!

Home Runs
We have a 3-way tie here at 10 dingers each! Hammer Longballo of the Bucs, Frank Costanza of the Blowfish, and Scooter Sandbrick of the Platypi!

Runs Batted In
The aforementioned Frank Costanza edges out teammate Estelle Costanza with 24 RBI in 16 games!

Earned Runs Average (Starters only)
For anyone not familiar with the sport, ERA is the average amount of runs a pitcher allowed normalized over 9 innings. And holy crap we had all 5 of our top 5 in this category log what would be considered HOF good if they did this over a full season. Leading the way though is Rouge Bat of the Hedgehogs with a microscopic 1.24 ERA.

Walks + Hits per Inning Pitched
He took 2nd place with a lot more IP than Rouge in the ERA category, but he proves his dominance here with a .54 WHIP, 19 points above 2nd place!

Strikeouts
The Moose get something positive out of the season, as their P Rhiannon Cannon led the league with 24 punchouts!

Platypi vs Beewolves
This is it for the Platypi, if they lose by like...however many I said before, 11+ or something, they're out and the x-men are in.

It was a scoreless game until the 4th, then it turned into a back and forth affair that I honestly didn't see any of because I had to run to the office while the game was going. But it did go to extras where the beewolves clinched not-last in their div by hitting a 3 run homer in the 10th to nab the win.

Platypi - 5
Beewolves - 8

The Emerald Snax and the Platypi are your Super division reps! So for the playoffs we have
Snax vs Platypi

Barring a miracle loss by the platypi, they will be joining the Snax as the playoff reps for the Super division. They would need to lose by 12 runs their final game for the X-men to take their place.

In a twist, the blowfish's offense was completely outclassed, as the saurs jumped all over them from the 1st inning to cruise to an 11-5 win. This eliminates the blowfish and means that your 2 playoff reps from the Mega division are the Moonstars and the Buccaneers!

The bucs started off with a leadoff homer and 3 more runs in the 2nd, but the moose got 4 runs of their own in the 2nd as well. From there though, the bucs were just a bit too strong and stayed 1-2 runs ahead consistently.

Moose - 8
Buccaneers - 10

With the bucs and moonstars each sitting at 10-6, the Orange Army at 8-7 with 1 game left have been eliminated. The bucs have clinched a spot with a +9 RD. If the Blowfish win their final 2 games, it will be them and the bucs in the Mega division. If they lose at least 1, it will be the bucs and the moonstars.

Then in the 11th, with 1 out and runners on the corners, a blooper single was reachable by the Moose left fielder who slid for the catch...and muffed it, to allow the Orange Army run to score and end the game.

Star Wars vs Hedgehogs
The first place vs the last place teams, what could go wrong? Well, the Star Wars took the lead in the first inning...and then never had it again, as the Hedgehogs took it back in the 1st 2-1, then piled on big hit after big hit throughout the game while somehow hitting 0 homers. By the 7th, it was 5-1, and while star wars got a 2 run homer to cut the lead to 2, the Hedgehogs ended up scoring 3 more over the rest of the game.

Star Wars - 3
Hedgehogs - 8

Star Wars poor run differential means the top 4 teams in that division are all still within striking distance. Emerald Snax and Platypi have 2 games left each and x-men/star wars have 1. We could realistically have a 4-way tie depending on scheduling at the end of the season!

A crucial division matchup, the platypi poured it on early with a homer in the 1st, 2 runs in the 2nd, and another homer in the 3rd. After that though, the Snax pitcher calmed down and blanked them the rest of the way. Unfortunately the damage was done, as they only managed 2 runs of their own. They did make it interesting in the 9th however, with a leadoff hit and another hit with 1 out, but pinch hitter extraordinaire Chilly Nilly double played to end the game.

Yeah I mean, it's weird cause your average is probably close to about average for the league, just...runners in scoring position haven't been brought home. The real drag for you has been the pitching though, the most ER in the league. And I don't think your pitchers are bad ratings-wise, I think they've just underperformed for whatever reason. I definitely think you've been the unluckiest team this season just going on stats and how they add up.

Okay so I updated the runs diff sheet, so here is a breakdown of our playoff chase. Keep in mind not everyone has played the same amt of games as of yet but will end up with 16 for everyone, and it's the top 2 from each div.

SUPER DIVISION:
Star Wars: 9-5 (-4)
Emerald Snax: 8-5 (+1)
Platypi: 7-6 (+16)
X-Men: 8-7 (+5)
Beewolves: 5-8 (-12)
Hedgehogs: 4-9 (+3)

MEGA DIVISION:
Blowfish: 8-5 (+49!)
Buccaneers: 8-6 (+5)
Moonstars: 8-6 (-6)
Orange Army: 7-6 (0)
Bulbasaurs: 6-8 (-7)
Moose: 4-10 (-42!)

The Moose, Hedgehogs, and Beewolves have all long been eliminated. The Bulbasaurs are on extremely thin ice, requiring to win their final 2 games, have the bucs and moonstars lose their final 2 and lose by enough to make up the runs, and have OA lose at least 2 of their final 3 with the same stipulation. Other than that, no one has clinched.

My predix:
Star Wars and Platypi
Blowfish and Buccaneers

It's still a tight race though, 8 teams could still range anywhere from tops in the div to missing out completely. Should be interesting!

Moonstars vs Buccaneers

I would not want to be bucs LF Damien Rush right now. Boy this game had drama. Both teams' aces were on the mound and it showed, as both teams logged 0 runs...until the fateful 7th inning. With 1 out and a man at 2nd, the moonstars lined a drive to left field towards Rush. Now he wasn't catching this ball for an out anyway but just grabbing it would've stopped the runner at 3rd. Instead, it bounces right past him, he's literally right in front of the ball, and as a result 2 runs score.

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE! In the bottom of the 9th, with 2 outs, you can't get more pressure than this, Bucs player Bobby Bashe hits a 2 run homer to tie it! EXTRAS.

Both teams fail to score in the 10th, and in the 11th the Moonstars bust it open, getting a solo homer to take the lead and a 2 out 2 rbi double to make it a 5-2 lead, to which the bucs were unable to respond.

The Moose turned a leadoff double into a run in the first inning, and tacked on a homer in the 5th. The Bulbasaurs got a solo homer of their own in the 6th, but that's all they'd manage for the game, while the Moose got two more in the 8th. With that, the Saurs playoff hopes are slim to none.

I think we're at the point where we can stop lol.

Jelle made a post that they're going to try and focus some more on marble runs with tons of marbles which I guess is what their roots are, ASMR type vids. I actually think this is a good idea! Apparently viewership of the channel has been down and I think that's natural because this thing really peaked during the pandemic. Now that more and more people are pushing to get back to normal (for better or worse), the novelty has worn off for some people I'm sure. But straight marble runs with 1k marbles doing cool things on tracks is a lot easier and simpler to jump into than getting into a marble league halfway through the event, yknow? I think run-type vids could serve well to get people watching the channel to start, and then the event-type vids would help to retain them once they're invested.

Beewolves vs X-men

The X-men, their season on the line, came out sluggish by giving up a run in each of the first two innings, and 2 more in the 6th, while only tallying 1 of their own in the 5th. The 6th however marked a drastic change in the game flow. The X-men clobbered a 3 run homer and a solo homer back to back to surge into the lead, and added another run in the 7th. The Beewolves clawed back to within 1 in the 8th, and then the 9th inning...boy that 9th inning.

The Beewolves tied the game on a 2-out hit, and then the following batter lined one to 2B, who then relayed to 1B who then inexplicably flubbed the catch to allow the go-ahead run to score! Utter disaster...until an untimely rally of the X-men's own, where with 2 outs the 7-8-9 hitters in the order (yes including the closing pitcher) all got hits and brought in the tying run!

In the 10th, the beewolves narrowly missed out on taking the lead again, hitting a ball to the deepest part of the field that would've homered anywhere else. Instead, it's a triple that they can't cash in. The X-men then with 2 outs AGAIN get a deep hit to center that brings in a runner from first to keep their playoff hopes alive! If not slim.

Beewolves - 7
X-men - 8

Green Ducks gave me so much hope only to be knocked out in an instant with one slip up. What a gut punch. Still, super excited to see them hosting I next year's Marble League!
Yeah that brief moment where they were slated to be gold, only to look back a minute later and go "Wait they're in like 11th??

Final event:

Congrats to Mellow Yellow, our 2021 ML champions!

What an epic choke job by the razzies.

Congrats to the Minty Maniacs for finally getting a medal and making it a gold at that!

Things were looking up for my tbolts they made it up to 8th but then fell back and could never get back. I suppose finishing in 8th overall is actually about where they belong considering how consistently average-to-good they were but only getting 1 medal. Even just 2 more medals would have put us near the top and maybe even podium.

Next year's hosts: The Green Ducks!

I feel kinda bad for the Raspberry Racers and the Hazers - they had to start in last and just never got anything going.

Congrats to Mellow Yellow on pulling off the overall win! They've come close before and it's nice to see them bounce back from 2020. Glad the Minty Maniacs were able to get a medal at the end too.

Yeah, honestly marblecross is one of my least favorite events because it's just so impossible to catch up if you lose the group. So much of it is getting timely bumps from people behind you, so despite the Razzies "choking" I guess I can't really call it that since it was going to be an uphill battle anyway.

I would like to see a different starting setup for these types of events, perhaps one closer to the marble rally where they are spread wide in 2 rows.

They are the x-men. Star Wars are the former Wideloads.

Orange Army vs Blowfish

The Blowfish started off strong, homering in the first 3 innings, and then didn't do anything until a 4 run explosion in the 4th, which was more than enough to hold off the Army who only had 1 run thru 8 before logging 2 in the 9th and getting the bases loaded to make it interesting after that.

Orange Army - 3
Blowfish - 8

Beewolves vs Star Wars
Star Wars busted onto the scene like a Star Destroyer in the first inning with back to back home runs...but then they went cold, but it looked like it would be okay as the Beewolves had nothing going until the 6th inning when they exploded. 2 homers in the 6th, 1 in the 7th, 1 in the 8th and another RBI in the 8th saw them storm back for the improbable win.

Beewolves - 5
Star Wars - 2

Bulbasaurs vs Buccaneers

This one started off with a bang with 2 runs each in the 1st inning, but then it was all Bucs as they put up home runs in the 2nd, 4th, 7th, and 8th innings to run away with it. Bucs SP Slip Van'Derwink pitched a great complete game, and the bulbasaurs playoff hopes have taken a hit.

Bulbasaurs - 2
Buccaneers - 8

Man, really tough finish for the tbolts, they could've vaulted to the top with a strong finish with how the rest of that event played out. Now they are still within striking distance but a LOT needs to go right for them to win.

Yeah it wasn't like, confirmed confirmed but I doubt they would fake out a coach-firing like that, though it would be quite a swerve!
