The top seeds showed no signs of slowing down as they booked their place in the semi-finals. The RBIs put up some decent numbers but will have to settle for a run at the consolation title.

MVP: Bryant (Knights) 8 R, 5 HR, 13 RBI, .500 AVG, 1.720 OPS

In the battle of Norfolk it is Norwich who advance to the next round. Only two pitchers allowed any earned runs, which was going to be hard to beat. The Chasers have had a great season, finishing second in the standings, and will be strong contenders for the consolation title.

Matt’s the way to do it: Olson (Norwich) 8 R, 5 HR, 10 RBI, 1.156 OPS

Core player: C Seager (Norwich) 2 HR, 6 RBI

I’ll be honest, I’ve no idea how I managed to defeat the Slugs, particularly with Yelich done for the year, Hill getting hurt again and Miley, Fried and Lucchesi choosing a really flipping bad time for a meltdown. Tip of the cap to the Slugs in what was a very well-fought matchup.

Congratulations to Norwich and the RBIs for making it through. The season ends for the Maltsters, Riverkings, Bombers and Devil Rays. They are now free to watch a game without worrying about their ERAs. And there’s always next year.

Week 23 match-ups

Isotopes v Slugs
Bunting v Beckenham
Knights v RBI’s
No II v Chasers.

One of these eight will be crowned BaseballGB Fantasy League champion 2019. We’ll break down the quarter-finals in next week’s roundup.

Two teams have secured their place in the BaseballGB Fantasy League playoffs. With six other places up for grabs and just two weeks of the regular fantasy season left, there is still a lot to play for.

Which should help take our minds off those horrible players’ weekend uniforms.
