Angels Sweep past Scrubs 4-0

The Angels take all 4 games by 1 run, 6-5(13th), 3-2, 1-0 and 9-8(11th) in a very close, but lopsided, series.

Martin was overhead after the series saying, "The Sultans or the tggers, We will be ready".

Glenn blames the series loss on the constant distractions that walked into the playoff room, "Every time that Pond Scum,(Mike M), came to see what was going on,

Martin started rolling hot and would score runs".

The scrubbie fans, (all 3 of them), were very dissapointed in the outcome. None were found for comment.

Rule #27.a. A Starting pitcher will drop 1 whole grade for every inning started beyond his APBA Batters-faced fatigue number, if he has allowed a run.

                        Fully explained; If a Starting Pitcher has a Batter Fatigue of 20, the inning after he pitches to the 21st batter, he will start to drop in grade.

Rule #31 is poorly written and will be ammended in the 2021 rules, but until then...

No pitcher may go down more than 1 grade below their base, (APBA), grade when a pinch-hitter is used. A pitcher grade B- drops to a C, never a D.

31. If a team pinch hits with a batter, who bats from the opposite side from the side the pitcher throws, then the pitcher's

grade goes down a maximum of one grade (from his base grade, or) from the grade that he was at just before the pinch hitter was called to

pinch hit, (such as a reliever coming into the middle of an inning or a starter that has advanced in grade on a scoreless streak from the start of a game).

Rule #26. if a C- pitcher goes the first 6 (consecutive) innings, (from the start of a game), without allowing a run, he will become a B- pitcher at the start of the 7th inning.

And if he allows no runs in the 7th, would then advance to an A-, (top grade for minus pitchers, getting no further advancement), pitcher at the start of the 8th inning.

A- starters do not advance in grade for consecutive scoreless innings from the beginning of a game. (the new rule says they will advance, next season.)
