2025 Major League Baseball (updated Nov. 24)

[flexmaster33]

The Season link should be working now. (sorry). You can see updated standings and more importantly you can see the full season of scores for your team.

I'll work on posting an update and getting new games out tonight.

[flexmaster33]

Some new divisional leaders to the top

[flexmaster33]

Still catching up on scores...got the AL East updated all the way to current tonight.
That is quite the pennant chase with all five teams just six games apart in the standings. Yankees are back on top in the division.

[flexmaster33]

Standings updated...caught up across all finished games

[flexmaster33]

overdue for an update on this one, but it's been a busy week with work and family birthdays. I'll focus in on an update late Monday night

One update...my Dodgers are sliding down to the bottom on the NL West...I'm in a slump!!!

[flexmaster33]

The AL East is up to date...working through the rest of the divisions Tuesday night

[flexmaster33]

Standings updated...AL East is looking like the power division with every team well above .500 as we approach mid-season.

[flexmaster33]

Just a heads up...I mistakenly sent out the last batch of invites through my WNBA tourney, go ahead and join as normal. It just makes me remember where to find the baseball games when I'm searching through results.

[flexmaster33]

All right, as a fun twist let's have an all-star game.

You will be matched up with your rank-partner from the other league.
So the #1 team in the NL will face off the the #1 team in the AL and so on down the line.

Each player will get five at-bats (see hitting chart)

ABs 1 & 5 will be on the AL home sets
ABs 2 & 4 will be on the NL home sets
and AB 3 will be on the baseball map.

I'm sending out all maps tonight, then I'll be in Disneyland for a week with the family. I'll update the All-Star game boxscore when I return, then we'll dive back into the end of the MLB schedule.

For the All-star game it will be important to pair up wins with your teammates just like stringing hits together in a regular game.

Have fun all, flex

Here's a look at the MLB all-star game...most maps have been completed, but scoring is still early ... American League still batting in the first inning with a 2-0 lead.

We are now all the way through the lineup once, and the American League is up 6-0 early, while the National League has two outs in the third inning and is looking for its first run.

Lo Pan connects for a two-run triple to put the National League on the board in the fourth inning.

The American League holds a 6-3 lead as we head into the middle innings ... we are now two times through the lineup

BTW ... If you are enjoying the all-star game experience. I will have a Little League World Series baseball tourney into sign-ups by the end of the week that leans on that format

[flexmaster33]

Division leaders are starting to separate themselves out with the Texas Rangers holding the largest lead at 9.5 games in the AL West.

The NY Yankees lead the AL East and hold the best record with 70 wins so far.

In the National League the NY Mets and the San Francisco Giants each enjoy 4.5 game leads in their divisions.

[flexmaster33]

And the American League wins the all-star game 8-3. (boxscore and play-by-play below).
A couple highlights...
The A.L. hit 18-for-43 (.419) with three extra-base hits.
b00060 led the team by going 4-for-4 at the plate with a pair of RBIs, while Darin44 hit 2-for-3 with a double and a pair of RBIs. The AL hit 5-for-9 (.555) in lead-off spots. The AL hit 7-for-14 (.500) with RISP.

The NL hit 9-for-35 (.257) also with three extra-base hits.
Lo Pan led the way by going 2-for-4 with a triple and two RBIs, while TheTrueNorth and jim1086 also had multiple hits and each had a double. The NL defense turned the game's only double play, and jim1086 threw a strikeout to get out of a bases-loaded jam in the eighth inning.

thanks for playing along everyone...now onto the finish of the MLB regular season. Chase those pennants!!!

The New York Yankees lead the league with 79 wins and are also the highest scoring team and the best defensive team.

San Francisco does lead the league in shutouts though with 20.

[flexmaster33]

The NL East is the closest of the pennant chases with 3.5 games separating the Mets and the Marlins at the top of that division.

[flexmaster33]

Sent out the most recent series...that leaves us with 7 series remaining in the regular season, so now's the time to make your push for the playoffs.

[flexmaster33]

Standings updated ... if the season ended today, the entire AL East would make the playoffs. Wow!!!

[flexmaster33]

Sent out another 3-games series...that leaves us with about a dozen games to play in the regular season. Time to lock up those playoff spots

[flexmaster33]

Coming down the stretch...

The NL East is the tightest division with the Mets and Marlins each sitting on 85 wins.
Also in the NL East the Brewers, Braves and Reds are one game apart with only two of those teams likely to earn wildcard spots.

The Yankees lead the league with 95 wins, and their 11.5 game lead is the largest of any division leader. In the A.L. the White Sox are trying to catch the last place team in the AL East in the chase for the last wildcard spot.

[flexmaster33]

Standings updated...we've got 8 of the 12 playoff spots claimed. And Texas is our first division clincher in the AL West.

[flexmaster33]

We've got two playoff spots still up for grabs, as I prepare to send out the final regular season series tonight.

The NY Yankees have secured home field advantage throughout the playoffs, and the Texas Rangers have won the AL West and the No. 2 seed on that side of the bracket.

The San Francisco Giants have secured the NL West title.

Meanwhile the Mets and Marlins are just percentage points apart for the NL East title heading into these final games.

[flexmaster33]

Just a few more spots to fill in, including the NL East and we'll have the playoff brackets set.

[flexmaster33]

The AL bracket is set...still have three teams fighting for the last two spots in the NL.

I'm looking to get the wildcard series started up over the weekend.

Good luck to those still in contention, and thanks for playing to everyone!!!
