#esqueletosvie — Public Fediverse posts

Jorge Lacayo is a damned cheat code. His double, followed by :lnp_esqueletos: #EsqueletosVIE Cedro Martín's triple and the aforementioned Lucio's single, has the 🇵🇷 #Borinqueños up 3- 0 in no time.

Yeah, I’m a Brujos fan, personally. #EsqueletosVIE mascot *exists*
I’m flexible on the matter

From here on out, most of the rounds get weird.

Round winner: The #MarcianosLAJ :marcianos: are going to have some very scary pitching with Velázquez in the mix.

Round loser: What in the hell are the #EsqueletosVIE :esqueletos: doing here? There's better third basemen left in the draft!

In round 9, a few teams take a chance on rounding out their rotations.

Round winner: We think this goes to the #EsqueletosVIE :esqueletos:, as Pérez is probably the best all-around RF left.

Round loser: Good round, but we think the #GuabalerosCOM :guabaleros: will regret Salazar's average glove.

Let's pick this back up: in round 8, suddenly *everyone* needs a pitcher.

Round winner: for our money, the #EsqueletosVIE :esqueletos: just got themselves an ace.

Round loser: Look. When Armendáriz was on the board, picking a catcher is Bad Thinking. The #MurciélagosCAM :murcielagos: are collared.

This is now the #CreepyCrawlyClassicClash draft thread—and round one is already in the books. Everyone's got their franchise player.

Round winner: #MarcianosLAJ :marcianos: get to retain their ace, Sergio Mendes, giving them 25 percent of a great rotation at the start.

Round loser: Escobedo (#EsqueletosVIE :esqueletos:) isn't even that good a second baseman.

#AteniensesMAN :atenienses:
(22-53, 28.5 games behind Florida)

#EsqueletosVIE :esqueletos:
(20-56, 34 games behind Culebra)

#GuardacostasCAT :guardacostas:
(20-57, 17 games behind Guaynabo)

Lastly, the runaway worst team in the :lnp: of 1886—possibly even the worst team in league history:

#CriollosCAG :criollos:
7-69 (nice)
(yes, that's an .092 percentage)
(the 1878 #IngenierosRIN :ingenieros: were 15-99, which put them at .132)

43 games behind San Lorenzo
-356 run differential

#LNP1886

Santillán walks; Sibo González pinch-pops out to CF; so does Santana; Trevizo hits for hope, and then Tomé pops out to CF.

#EsqueletosVIE :esqueletos: win, 8-6. They're 17-50.
#BrujosGUM :brujos: are 56-14.
I don't even know what's left to say at this point.

#LNP1886 #EchaFufú :echafufu:

Ruano walks one Guerrero; the next one tries a bunt and Gaucho nails the leader. Romero allows two steals. Escobedo is walked to load the bases.

Gómez fans, and Díaz predictably rips a 2-RBI double into LF.

#EsqueletosVIE :esqueletos: up 8-6 into the low 9th.

If you're wondering—the streak is alive.

Game #27:
Javier Tomé comes up with the bases loaded, bottom 9th, two outs, and walks it off against the #AzucarerosYAB :azucareros:—#BrujosGUM :brujos: win, 8-7.

Game #28:
Fernando Acevedo, who had yet to go the distance in 1886—the only Brujo starter who hadn't—shuts out the #EsqueletosVIE 💀 on four hits, and the bats, led by Sibo González, respond in kind. #BrujosGUM win, 18-0.

18 wins in a row for the Poderosos!
