This might be the first time all year I'm not in at least 13th place.
 
Couple of notes:
I thought playoff reseeding was turned on, but apparently it wasn't. That will go on the list of things to make sure is corrected for next season.

Two teams in the consolation bracket managed to miss the minimum innings pitched limit. That pretty much ensures a loss when that happens. The innings limit isn't changing next year. I'm going to add in additional penalties into the rules for next season for teams missing innings too many times. It was pretty much only an issue for two teams this season. That change will get posted in the 2026 thread.

Feels good to get a championship victory! Sixth title all time, only one behind Steak now. Definitely one of the better teams I've had in a while. It took a while to build my pitching staff up but it got there after the all-star break. Used 3 Guardians starters this week and Cole Ragans came up big after an injury riddled season. BRC's pitching staff was pure filth all week long. He was sub-2.00 ERA and in the 0.60s for WHIP most of the week. I had some roster issues going with Sasaki & Palencia getting activated off the IL on Tuesday that limited my flexibility to make moves. I wasn't feeling overly confident until after Saturday's games. I'm glad to actually close out a great season!
