VOTED - Nos, Meebs, Femur, WLK, Ritz, UK, 500, Shane, Milk

Shit, this one is real close for me, I love both team's top 5 in the lineup and both pitching staffs are pretty good, I like Hubbell more than anybody, this would be a very close series but I have to give a slight lean to Ritz, although it's tough to vote Against Speaker, Willie, Stan!

Probably the closest of the four QF games IMO.

 

[Mebert]

Me

 

[femurov]

I got Meebs by a nose.

 

[wlk3]

I got Ritzy by a nose hair... because I think Nos pitching evens out the lineups and gives him a slight edge and he took like 5 players that I wanted with my next pick...

 

[Ritzarmy]

Ritz. We both have amazing lineups and might lean his slightly better. I do feel my rotation is better plus my bench. It would be one hell of a series.

* To be technical he doesn't have a left handed pinch hitter which it says you need in OP. However he does have a nice team despite it.

 

[UK Cowboy]

I agree that this is the closest of four great matchups. I think Ritz rotation is slightly better, and he has a good lineup, but Mebert's offense is just sick. Mebert in a war

 

[Pack 500]

Seems like all these matchups are excellent. Mebert by a hair

 

[Nosferatu]

@Shanemansj13 & @MilkSpiller22 need your votes!

 

[Shanemansj13]

I got Ritz

 

[MilkSpiller22]

i go Mebert, both teams are very similar... so i have to go with the team with better balance... and that is clearly Mebert

 

[Nosferatu]

@Mebert moves on
