Ritz. I feel my lineup is better especially having the best hitters of all-time Tony Gwynn and Ted Williams. Then surrounded by other good hitters. This game would be close.

This is tough... I've been leaning bats but here I think the pitching far outweighs the bats... slight lean to Stoke

 

[femurov]

Stoke. I like his pitching and I hate that Ritz has Tulu batting cleanup

 

[Shanemansj13]

Stoke has better pitching all around. IMO I dont think Ritz's offense makes up the difference even though it is better

Stoke

Oh sure now you change your stance - you jack ass

Ritz

 

[Nosferatu]

Tulo obviously not a 4 Yaz should have been 4 but batting four lefties to start might have hurt him in voting as well I do like Ritzy's team and I'm not sure I am all that crazy about Stokes lineup but its enough to get him through this game IMO.

 

[MilkSpiller22]

interesting matchup.... stokes has the clear best pitching in this mock, but the clear worst offense...

Would have loved to see Stoke go with better small ball for such a weak offense....

But i don't see anything SPECIAL with Ritz's team so i got to go Stoke since his pitching is far superior to Ritz's offense...

Stoke

 

[Ritzarmy]

Congrats Stoke on the win. You have a great team. Unlike Hilary Clinton I will publicly concede and acknowledge the better person won.

Ps. Stoke won the popular vote but I count myself winning the electoral vote (this time it was @ehb5 vote) which is all that matters.

 

[Nosferatu]

Congrats Stoke on the win. You have a great team. Unlike Hilary Clinton I will publicly concede and acknowledge the better person won.

Only problem is it's not over. He needs 7 votes...

 

[Ritzarmy]

He voted for himself plus I conceded so he moves on

 

[Nosferatu]

He voted for himself plus I conceded so he moves on

I must have missed him voting for himself, big of you to concede...


Congrats Stoke...

Thanks it was a close election

I just didn't think you had enough hitting to beat his pitching...

 

[Ritzarmy]

I just didn't think you had enough hitting to beat his pitching...

2 best hitters of all-time plus Lofton, Yaz, Clemente, and others but yeah your right don't have enough hitters Seriously though Stoke has a great team especially with that nasty rotation plus bullpen. I do think the series would be close and fun to watch.
