End of 1977 season report:
The Pittsburgh Pirates defeat the New York Yankees to win the 1977 World Series (@nowionlywantatriumph )
Due entirely to the raw desperation of the expansion team Jays, Valerie Serac is the only player to be called up to the majors this season. (putting up 1.7 WAR w a 3.76 ERA over 131.2 IP) The rest are developing in the minors.
Ron Guidry puts up fucking 10 WAR. Joe Morgan puts up 8.9. Guidry takes the AL MVP and Cy, Morgan takes the NL MVP, Tom Seaver the Cy.
Late addition @KC drafted by Atlanta
1978 post season check In:
The Phillies beat the Angels for the WS
NL MVP: JR Richard (9.3 WAR, 1.16 WHIP, 2.31 FIP)
AL MVP: Ron Guidry, again (7.9 WAR, 1.07 WHIP, 2.46 FIP)
AL CY: Ron Guidry, again
NL CY: JR Richard ( double pitcher MVP cy young baybee)
The Shrikes are developing slowly with few exceptions (theyre only 19 after all). Only me, Triumph and Lup have stuck in the majors so far. Everyone retains their high potential so im not worried
1979 All Star Break Check In
Guiseppe Dell'abate (Kate), Eva, and KC all called up!
KC has racked up 1.9 WAR with an OPS of only .643, with THIRTY FIVE stolen bases in that time.
Giuseppe has only put up .3 WAR with a 1.69 WHIP because the computer says hes a reliever. I say differently. Eva has negative WAR. Rookie troubles
Taking some time to highlight just how bad these Jays suck right now. My poor fucking pitcher. The farm is dry and the best batter on the team is the 33 year old Bobby Bonds (yes the father of that Bonds) and they have a 20 year old sensation shouldering the entire burden of their pitching staff (theyre ranked 4th in strikouts, the only thing theyre ranked in above 15th, bc I have 205. Next best has 100) They're 55 and 80 at the beginning of September. I fucking want out of here
Alright end of 1979. Players developing well. My player is the best right now, solely and entirely because the fucking Jays are so bad that they forced him to start at age 18 and I guess he bloomed under pressure. 6.5 WAR season, best K/9 of the bigs beating out NOLAN RYAN. Other than that, Donna (BQ), Arte, and Vriska all had their first ABs of the majors in some late season callups.
1979 post season check In:
the Rangers 🤢 take the world series from the Phillies in 7 games.
AL MVP: Buddy Bell
NL MVP: Gary Carter (9.6 WAR, Catcher MVP lets fucking go)
AL CY YOUNG: Ron Guidry, again.
NL CY YOUNG: J.R Richard
Best Shrikes in each position:
Me @ pitcher. highest K/9 in the league, 3rd in AL Cy Young voting (!!!)
@KC Rookie of the year!! 3rd highest SB in the NL!! and the other first big award of Shrike Club, a Gold Glove at Short Stop. (Happy birthday)
