I know this game went through development hell for a while but it's pretty crazy to think this game is still getting support after how long it's existed

Yeah all players in the league have a set of ratings that's assigned to them. The person you assigned the name to just happened to be one of the teams, and indeed the league's best overall offensive players.

Hedgehogs vs Orange Army
One bad pitch can change it all. We carried a scoreless game into the 6th, when the OA hit a 3 run homerun to put them way up. The hedgehogs finally did wake up a bit, getting a sac fly next inning, before Lord Skeletor hit a HR to make it 4-1. In the 9th, the Hedgehogs got a solo shot of their own, before an extremely terrible sequence to end the game. Tying run at the plate, man on 1st with one out, the 1st man tries to steal and gets run down, followed by the batter striking out next pitch. Tough way to end it.

Hedgehogs - 2
Orange Army - 4

Miles Prower remains one of the only starters to yet log a hit or a walk, but his ingame metrics lean towards fielding anyway and it showed tonight, as he made a great sliding catch and subsequent rocket to 3rd to hold the runner, followed by a catch and subsequent gun-down at 3rd for a double play the next batter. Awful hitter, great fielder. On the plus side, Knuckles Echidna is leading the league in RBI with 12 in 6 games. Insane pace.

Bulbasaurs vs Blowfish
This was a pitchers duel...except for the 4th, when all 5 runs in the game were scored. However, the Bulbasaurs logged 3 thanks to back-to-back homers, while the Blowfish only managed 2. Mori gets a complete game win.

Bulbasaurs - 3
Blowfish - 2

Now that every team has played every other team in their division (Or close to it, there were some accidental out of division games early on) the next slate of games will be Interleague Play! After each team has played the other division teams once each, we will go back for the 2nd set of intraleague play!

So the protesters destroyed/stole property, physically assaulted officers, and five people died?

Yeah, sounds exactly the same.

Damn chill dude. I was talking about the aspect of "people breaking into where they shouldn't be and being led out in an orderly manner." The part that he described. Did I say exactly the same? No, so don't put words in my mouth, or basically accuse me of downplaying how terrible those riots were.

Star Wars vs Platypi
This was a highly offensive game, with the 8th inning being the only one that no runs were scored in, so I'll keep it rather brief till the end. Both teams traded the lead thru the first 5 innings with Star Wars entering the 6th, then in the 8th we had the catch of the year from Anakin skywalker, straight up force jumping up the wall to rob the Platypi of the game tying homerun. It looked like that would be the end, as 2 more runs for SW came in the 9th, but the Platypi got 2 more of their own to get back within 1, but their final hitter grounded to the pitcher to end the game. Overall a real thriller of a game though.

Star Wars - 8
Platypi - 7

I think there are probably a few plot holes, because from what I understand there was intended to be more to the series when it was first canceled. When they finally brought it back, they knew it would be all they were gonna get, so they had to tie stuff up as best they could. Like if you remember, blue guy foreshadowed that jack would be like a king one day or something; that never came to fruition or was seen again. Just the nature of the series.

Emerald Snax vs Beewolves
Things got hairy early for the beewolves as the snax got a leadoff triple...and then went groundout, flyout, thrown out at home (on the sac fly attempt) to get out of it. Boy would that come back to haunt them, as the beewolves logged the only run OF THE GAME on a solo HR in the 4th. Yolanda Cooper had a complete game shutout with 5 Ks, 4 H and 1 BB. Masterful stuff from her tonight.

Emerald Snax - 0

But it signaled they were trying to compete. Now we're really rolling with darnold and if that doesn't work out we're stuck rebuilding around mccaffrey's prime years being wasted? When they should have just rebuilt in the first place? Love it.

Destroys 3 of his mana crystals TWICE
Draws C'thun (aka the last card in his deck)
Destroys all minions on the field (all of which were his from a glowfly swarm) and discards his whole hand.

X-men vs Hedgehogs
There will be accusations of juiced balls after this one, but Colonial Plaza is also the most hitter-friendly park. The 1st started with a bang, with a solo shot by the X-men only for the Hedgies to counter with a 3 run boomba by Knuckles. The X-men got another HR in the 3rd, only for Knuckles to drive in another on the ground in the 5th. Then in the 7th, for the first time this season, we had back to back TO BACK homers, including one by the reliever for the Hedgehogs! Tack on one more in the 8th, and in total there were SEVEN home runs, and the Hedgehogs are winless no more!

Moose vs Buccaneers
This battle between power hitting teams looked like a pitcher's duel early on instead, both teams going scoreless thru 3, until one Hammer Longballo got the Bucs on the board with a 2 run homer. They tacked one each on the next 2 innings while the moose remained scoreless until... the 9th. My goodness, the 9th. For the Moose:
1st batter - double
2nd - HR
3rd - HR
4th - single
5th - HR

And that, folks, is how you blow a lead. Bucs P Manny Kays was having a stellar outing and all the manager had to do was pull him after that 1st HR (he was gassed), instead...

Moose - 5

Moonstars vs Orange Army
This was a pitchers duel from the beginning, with moon pitcher Alisha Woodrow not letting anyone on base the first time thru the order, while OA pitcher Big E was nearly as impressive. Skip to the 4th, the OA get on the board first in what has to be the weirdest thing I've seen: The player's power rating is either so high or it's a glitch, that he hit the ball off the dirt in front of him and it STILL careened into the outfield for an RBI. The Moonstars didn't really see a good scoring opportunity until the 7th, when they got a leadoff triple...but they went 2 groundouts to the pitcher and a strikeout to waste that chance. Then, in the 9th...my god.

Big E induces the grounder, the throw to 1st is FLUBBED, on a routine out, allowing the first runner to reach for the Moonstars. Next AB, it's a ground out at 2nd but the new runner is still on 1st, then it's a 2-run homer, which would have only been a solo shot if the 1st baseman hadn't flubbed the play earlier. Big E was running on fumes and should've been taken out after the first out but still. The OA can't make the comeback in the bottom of the 9th and Moon pitcher Woodrow turns in possibly the best start of the season: 9 IP, 1R, 2 H, 1 BB

Orange Army - 1
Moonstars - 2

Emerald Snax vs Platypi
This was a great game. Things didn't get going until the 3rd inning, with an RBI double by the platypi. They got another in the 4th with an arguably botched catch by the snax; the ball was right at the wall and if the OF had jumped he could have had it, instead it bounced off into his glove for an RBI double, then another in the 5th with a solo HR by standout Kitty Kauffman (who is now 11/17 for the season). Meanwhile, later that inning the Snax finally got their first run via homer, but then things shifted in the 7th. The 2nd error of the game for the platypi SS led to 2 men on base with no outs for the Snax, and a clutch pinch hit double brought both of them home to tie the game, then the PITCHER loops a blooper single to bring the PH home to take the lead! In the 8th, the Platypi bring on a reliever with 1 out to go and promptly give up a home run, but all was not lost yet! Down to their final 2 outs, Kauffman struck again with an RBI triple bringing the lead down to 1...but the heart of the order could not close the deal.

Emerald Snax - 5
Platypi - 4

I think they expected the backlash from fans and other clubs; going off of Real madrid's prez comments, what they didn't expect was that they would actually follow through on their threats to expel participating clubs. That prez basically tried to call their bluff and said "They aren't going to kick us out or ban our players from int'l competitions" and I think it was made very clear to them that yes, they would. I personally think that was the impetus for this sudden back-out - they tried to posture up to uefa/fifa and got burned.

This one was Blowfish from the get-go, with a leadoff homer and another run that BARELY beat the tag at the plate in the first 2 innings. They hit a 2 run HR a few innings later, while the Moose only logged 4 hits in the game, with their only run being a 7th inning homer.

As someone who doesn't follow european football hardly at all, the thing I read yesterday said that one of the heads of these clubs trying to break away is claiming that that literally all the clubs involved in the CL will DIE by 2024 if changes don't happen, because of money.

I quite frankly, will never believe that. And IF that somehow is true, then from what it sounds like they put themselves in this hole by overspending, so let them die imo. You reap what you sow, and the amt of "overspending" the biggest and most prestigious clubs in the WORLD would have to do to get themselves to a point where they financially cannot exist in three years...I can't fathom it. It sounds beyond stupid for them to have done this to themselves if that is truly the extent of how dire it is to the point where they would feel the actual NEED to do something this drastic to the structure of the sport to fix it.

Also I don't really see how it's different than the MLB example that was provided. All it is is the most prestigious clubs always being in the best league regardless of how ****ty they are, hence the "15 permanent members who cannot be relegated." Except it's not so much about trying to keep the lesser teams out (since I assume 5 other lesser teams can still get in) as it is about keeping prestigious yet possibly ****ty teams from falling out of the public eye, which imo is equally egregious.

Star Wars vs X-men
Moff Tarkin ordered the ball to leave the stadium in the opening frame to give SW the early lead, but the X-men came so close to tying in the first couple of innings. They had multiple runners on base both times and couldn't seal it, including a baffling fielding choice by SW to throw a non-force (no pun intended) 3rd base with 1 out...when he took the ball near 1st and could have easily tagged out for the 2nd out. Instead, both runners ended up safe, and the x-men couldn't bring one home. However, back to back triples in the 3rd see them take the lead 2-1! They tally a 2 run HR in the 4th to increase that lead, and an RBI GIDP in the 6th, with Cyclops having settled down since that opening inning HR. In the 8th, the x-men strike again with a double that AL-MOST left the yard, and then added 2 more with a ball that DID leave the yard. Star Wars never scored after that opening home run.

Star Wars - 1
X-men - 8

Bulbasaurs vs Moonstars

This had the makings of a pitchers' duel early on, as we went scoreless until the 4th inning when the bulbasaurs BARELY beat a tag out at home to get on the board, while their pitcher Gawr Gura made it perfect the first time through the order before finally giving up a couple hits in the 4th (but no run). In the 5th however, a leadoff triple gave the Moonstars their first tally, and then a clutch RBI by the PITCHER drives home another. In the 6th, the Moonstars Rusty Bustum busts a moonshot 2 run homerun to make it 4-1. Slip Sauder throws a complete game gem, 1 run and 6 hits.

Bulbasaurs - 1

Hedgehogs vs Beewolves
Both of these teams may have been winless, but this was one for the ages.

The beewolves got first blood with a solo home run, but the Hedgehogs punched back harder with a back-to-back next inning. The Beewolves punched back EVEN HARDER with a 3 run 2nd, and tacked on another in the 3rd. The Hedgehogs closed the gap with a 2 run homer in the 5th, only for the beewolves to do the same and open it right back up, we're at 4-7. Hedgies get another run in the 6th, and then they avert catastrophe by getting out of a bases-loaded, 0 out jam by striking out the next 3 batters (Based Jet Hawk). They just won't stay down!

Fast forward to the 9th inning, down 2, Knuckles the Echidna vaults himself into the hitter of the year discussion with his 2nd homerun of the game to tie it up! Bottom of the 9th, the first batter strikes out then OH MY GOODNESS, WALKOFF HOMERUN! First one of the year I believe!

Hedgehogs - 7
Beewolves - 8

*Also side note, we also saw all 3 of a team's relievers for the first time: The Hedgehogs SP was very inefficient, routinely going into long ABs without leading to outs, so they were done by the 4th inning.

Orange Army vs Buccaneers
Both teams best hitters, Lord Skeletor and Hammer Longballo, continue to make a case for the best hitter in the league, as they both launched home runs in the 1st inning. The Bucs however, launched another one in the 2nd to make it 4-1. The PITCHER hit one in the 5th, but the Army managed to string some hits together in the 6th and make it 5-3. In the 7th, the Army failed to turn a double play that would have ended the inning and instead it becomes 6-3. In the 9th, drama. The Army hits a solo HR, then the next batter triples, putting the tying run on base. That batter hits a foul that ALMOST falls out of bounds but is instead caught for the final out.

Orange Army - 4

Sadly, the Beewolves were never really in this one, giving up 5 straight hits and 3 runs to start the game. It only spiraled down from there, with their starter giving up 8 total runs in 6.1 innings. As a bright spot though, Buster Bigs hit 2 HR for them! Other than that, their offense was just about as anemic.
