Underworld @ Joyriders Round 1, Game 2 | Elite Discord Tournament | SMB4

[@PRAKNASTY]

Man what a rough day if you're an Underworld fan. They appear to have inherited the Overdogs' luck from the first tournament. I've never seen the game go to a starter that early in a game before, probably has to do with McGribbons high overall rating. The Joyriders jumped on the Underworld starter early and exploited that Volatile trait to maximum effect as they were spearheaded by a two homer day from Everdale. Can the Underworld put up a fight in game three to save their tournament lives, or will they fall apart and give the Joyriders an easy ride into the semifinals in their first tournament? I can't wait to find out! Great content as always buddy! #TheNastyOne

Yeah, this one was a rough watch for the Underworld.... The AI was full of baffling decisions and they compounded throughout this game. I am hoping that they can right the ship once they head home next time out. Their backs are against the wall, so someone has got to step up! Thanks for watching and commenting!

What an embarrassing performance by my Underworld… This could be the first time in history that a manager gets fired mid playoff series. Just so many questionable decisions made. Going for the steal in the top of the 5th resulting in out number 3 was the icing on the cake… But seriously… How do you bring in an SP in relief in the 2nd inning?! I know it’s early and I don’t fault him for pulling the Russo, but… USE THE BULLPEN!!! The game could’ve been a lot closer if the long balls stayed fair, but that ultimately wouldn’t have mattered. The bats have been so ugly thus far this tourney. Can at least appreciate a little bit of fight in the top of the 9th but too little too late. Hopefully it’s a sign of things to come and we can pull off the daunting task of pulling a reverse sweep.

Just for some added context. I drafted Lennox McGribbons fully expecting him to be my ace for the tournament… Can’t believe his possibly only appearance will be in a highly questionable long relief outing… Also if you check out the slated starter for game 4, the skipper has Luke Santiago slated to get the start… who is the Underworlds worst rated RP… This manager is 100% getting his ass fired…

Dude, I felt so bad for you during this game! I had no idea what happened, but the AI just went wild from the Underworld side of things. A few HRs that just missed the foul pole and this is a very different game. The biggest question is why in the world did McGribbons get the call from the pen? So many options and they go with the starter. Let's hope it doesn't play a major factor in the rest of the series... The Underworld offense has definitely struggled. I'm hoping that the late rally carries into the next game and you guys can put up a fight! Thanks for watching and commenting!

It's really frustrating watching the AI make those decisions.... I'll keep an eye on game 4 if we get there and make sure to step in if necessary.
