Notably, the #BrujosGUM :brujos: went from the 11th-highest or so payroll to the 6th, just by locking in current rates. A lot of teams apparently used the end of the Primaverales, at least in the 1880s, to stick more players at league minimum.

In any case, there's no doubt: if you want to play baseball and get paid well in the 1880s LNP, the main key is getting hired by the #SamaritanosSLO :samaritanos:, who have to fight off a keen divisional (and financial!) rival in the #TaínosGUR :tainos:.

This team is getting very, very good at destroying the rest of the league's bullpens.

In this case, poor Juan Gutiérrez of the #SamaritanosSLO :samaritanos: got tagged for 6 H, 5 ER, 4 BB and 74 pitches in 2.1 IP.

The #AteniensesMAN :atenienses:, after hanging a four-spot on the #SamaritanosSLO :samaritanos: in the top of the 11th, watched their lead disappear with no outs.

They forced a flyout and a groundout, loaded the bases . . . and gave up a walk-off base on balls to lose 7-6.

The major reason we need a #GrisesHUM :grises: vs. #SamaritanosSLO :samaritanos: playoff series is so we can get the ultimate bullpen duel: Mario Castro vs. Mario Castro.
