TEN YEARS of the AUSTRALIAN BASEBALL LEAGUE Its Origins Flintoff & Dunn’s AUSTRALIAN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL - 2018 AUSTRALIAN BASEBALL LEAGUE 2018 IN REVIEW! - By Peter Flintoff Section 1 LOADED BRISBANE BANDITS CLAIM FIRST EVER ABL ‘THREE-PEAT’! In 2017/18 we witnessed the eighth season of the current Australian Baseball League. Once again six teams from major capital centres made up the competition, namely Adelaide Bite, Brisbane Bandits, Canberra Cavalry, Melbourne Aces, Perth Heat and Sydney Blue Sox. As usual these teams comprised many of the best local players with the addition of international imports from the USA and Japan mainly. As a very successful new addition to the league this year, some teams imported very high quality and experienced stars from Chinese Taipei. Following the USA’s Major League Baseball decision to withdraw its financial support of the league before last season, there remains a need to continue cost saving measures and the total number of games were again minimised in order to reduce travel costs. To continue their elected path, only the Melbourne Aces hosted a contingent of Japanese professional imports for the 2018 season. The remainder of this paragraph is a repeat from the last few seasons, but my opinion remains as pertinent as ever. The Japanese players had only a modest impact before, as dictated, packing up to return home at Christmas time. 'Flintoff & Dunn' has probably said enough about the overall value of importing Japanese players into our ABL, especially given that they are unable to stay the course of the full season. Regardless of what philosophical advantage there may be for our league to have some Japanese "connection", there is sufficient evidence that the Japanese import players provide very little value to the club(s) that host them. It is more of a detraction and a distraction to replace these players mid-season. Again, it must be said that the Aces somewhat minimised their reliance on their Japanese players in 2018 and the team remained reasonably strong when they departed. Canberra, out of necessity, was once again dominated by American import players while all of the other teams had a healthy contingent of US professional imports. In fairness to the Cavs, they have seemingly made a conscious effort to increase their Australian representation. To maintain their history in the modern ABL era the Sydney Blue Sox again relied less upon import pitching. In its eighth season, the ABL stuck with the 2017 model by scheduling 40 regular season games spread over 10 weekend series. The calendar began in mid-November and each club played every other club "home and away". There were no BYE rounds for any teams this season. All series were scheduled for four games in 2017/18. As it transpired Brisbane and Canberra played one fewer regular season game than the others when a washed-out game involving these teams was not made-up during the last weekend because the result could not change the playoff standings. Again the programming of games varied slightly from city to city and week to week but, generally, they spanned from Thursday to Sunday, with Sunday being an earlier game as a “getaway day”. Seven inning contests were played as the matinee game on double header days. Rained-out and/or postponed games were supposed to be re-scheduled to be added to weekend programs for the return series between the same teams. The ABL decided to change from the "Top Three" post-season format to a “Top Four”. Under this format there were two Semi-Final series played on a 1v4 and 2v3 basis. The higher finishing teams hosted these semi-finals with the winners advancing to the Championship Series. All playoff series were best-of-three contests. This time the Championship Series involved a venue hosting choice to be made by the top seeded team. In effect, the top team had to choose whether to host the opening game of the best-of-three or whether to play Game 2 and Game 3 (if required) on away at home. Brisbane elected to play their series opener in Canberra and, after losing that one, they ultimately re-grouped to win both at home. Flintoff & Dunn’s ALMANAC 22nd Edition Page 1-11 Flintoff & Dunn’s AUSTRALIAN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL - 2018 AUSTRALIAN BASEBALL LEAGUE 2018 IN REVIEW! - By Peter Flintoff Section 1 Unfortunately, television coverage of ABL games was again virtually non-existent during the regular season. The ABL again arranged a reasonable coverage of games throughout the season via the YouTube streaming platform. ABLtv provided live streaming coverage of at least one game on most scheduled game days which, by all reports, again attracted a decent smattering of viewers around the country. This ABL review is not intended to duplicate the detail about every game from the individual game reports that will also feature in ‘Flintoff & Dunn’s’ 2018 Edition book replica, but we do want to run through a brief overview of each series for historical purposes, as follows: WEEK ONE SERIES Canberra @ Brisbane; Perth @ Melbourne; Adelaide @ Sydney; Holloway Field Melbourne Ballpark Blacktown, Sydney 16 Nov - Brisbane 8-5 Canberra 17 Nov - Melbourne 1-9 Perth 17 Nov - Sydney 10-1 Adelaide 17 Nov - Brisbane 5-4 Canberra 18 Nov - Melb 6-5 Perth (8) 18 Nov - Sydney 4-3 Adelaide (7) 18 Nov - Brisbane 5-2 Canb (7) 18 Nov – Melbourne 5-10 Perth 18 Nov - Sydney 5-4 Adelaide 18 Nov - Washed Out 19 Nov - Melbourne 5-8 Perth 19 Nov - Sydney 4-2 Adelaide WEEK TWO SERIES Sydney @ Canberra; Brisbane @ Perth; Melbourne @ Adelaide; Narrabundah Baseball Park, Thornlie Adelaide Shores, West Beach 23 Nov - Canberra 5-4 Sydney 24 Nov - Perth 9-16 Brisbane 23 Nov - Adelaide 6-8 Melbourne 24 Nov - Canberra 4-0 Sydney 25 Nov - Perth 5-12 Bris (7) 24 Nov - Adelaide 0-6 Melbourne 25 Nov - Canberra 2-8 Sydney 25 Nov - Perth 3-13 Brisbane 25 Nov - Adelaide 6-2 Melbourne Thomas Dalton Park, Wollongong 26 Nov - Perth 11-6 Brisbane 26 Nov - Adelaide 0-1 Melbourne 26 Nov - Canberra 15-7 Sydney WEEK THREE SERIES Canberra @ Adelaide; Brisbane @ Melbourne; Perth @ Sydney; Adelaide Shores, West Beach Melbourne Ballpark Blacktown, Sydney 1 Dec - Adelaide 3-18 Canberra 1 Dec - Melbourne 3-0 Brisbane 1 Dec - Sydney 4-5 Perth 1 Dec - Adelaide 2-5 Canberra 2 Dec - Washed Out 2 Dec - Washed Out 2 Dec - Adelaide 4-7 Canberra 3 Dec - Melbourne 2-1 Brisb (7) 3 Dec - Sydney 4-8 Perth (7) 1 Dec - Adelaide 4-2 Canberra (7) 3 Dec - Melbourne 3-2 Brisb (8) 4 Dec - Sydney 4-7 Perth (8) WEEK FOUR SERIES Melbourne @ Canberra; Sydney @ Brisbane; Adelaide @ Perth; Narrabundah Holloway Field Baseball Park, Thornlie 7 Dec - Canberra 17-2 Melbourne 8 Dec - Brisbane 6-2 Sydney 8 Dec - Perth 5-6 Adelaide 8 Dec - Canberra 14-2 Melbourne 9 Dec - Brisbane 5-4 Syd (7) 9 Dec - Perth 11-5 Adelaide (7) 9 Dec - Canberra 4-10 Melbourne 9 Dec - Brisbane 11-5 Syd (6) 9 Dec - Perth 11-4 Adelaide 9 Dec - Canberra 7-5 Melbourne 10 Dec - Brisb 15-12 Syd (10) 10 Dec - Perth 5-8 Adelaide WEEK FIVE SERIES Perth @ Canberra; Sydney @ Melbourne; Brisbane @ Adelaide; Narrabundah Melbourne Ballpark Adelaide Shores, West Beach 14 Dec - Canberra 3-5 Perth 15 Dec - Melbourne 4-1 Sydney 15 Dec - Adelaide 0-8 Brisbane 15 Dec - Canberra 1-12 Perth 16 Dec - Melbourne 5-9 Syd (7) 16 Dec - Adelaide 3-7 Brisbane (7) 16 Dec - Canberra 11-10 Perth 16 Dec - Melbourne 1-4 Sydney 16 Dec - Adelaide 6-1 Brisbane 17 Dec - Canberra 4-3 Perth (11) 17 Dec - Melbourne 4-7 Sydney 17 Dec - Adelaide 0-5 Brisbane WEEK SIX SERIES Melbourne @ Sydney; Adelaide @ Brisbane; Canberra @ Perth; Blacktown, Sydney Holloway Field Baseball Park, Thornlie 28 Dec - Sydney 9-5 Melbourne 29 Dec - Brisbane 11-3 Adelaide 29 Dec - Perth 3-4 Canberra 29 Dec - Sydney 7-14 Melbourne 30 Dec - Brisb 5-6 Adelaide (7) 30 Dec - Perth 5-2 Canberra (7) 30 Dec - Sydney 5-6 Melbourne 30 Dec - Brisbane 11-2 Adelaide 30 Dec - Perth 10-9 Canberra 31 Dec - Sydney 13-6 Melbourne 31 Dec - Brisbane 3-5 Adelaide 31 Dec - Perth 32-10 Canberra Flintoff & Dunn’s ALMANAC 22nd Edition Page 1-12 Flintoff & Dunn’s AUSTRALIAN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL - 2018 AUSTRALIAN BASEBALL LEAGUE 2018 IN REVIEW! - By Peter Flintoff Section 1 WEEK SEVEN SERIES Canberra @ Melbourne; Brisbane @ Sydney; Perth @ Adelaide; Melbourne Ballpark Blacktown, Sydney Adelaide Shores, West Beach 4 Jan - Melbourne 0-2 Canberra 4 Jan - Sydney 2-7 Brisbane 4 Jan - Adelaide 3-5 Perth 5 Jan - Melbourne 7-5 Canberra 5 Jan - Sydney 5-8 Brisbane 5 Jan - Adelaide 10-17 Perth 6 Jan - Melbourne 3-12 Canberra 6 Jan - Sydney 1-14 Brisbane 6 Jan - Adelaide 8-6 Perth 7 Jan - Melbourne 6-11 Canberra 7 Jan - Sydney 5-13 Brisbane 7 Jan - Adelaide 3-5 Perth WEEK EIGHT SERIES Adelaide @ Canberra; Sydney @ Perth; Melbourne @ Brisbane; Narrabundah Baseball Park, Thornlie Holloway Field 11 Jan - Canberra 13-9 Adelaide 11 Jan - Perth 8-7 Sydney (10) 11 Jan - Brisbane 23-6 Melbourne 12 Jan - Canberra 6-0 Adelaide 12 Jan - Perth 6-4 Sydney 12 Jan - Brisbane 12-5 Melbourne 13 Jan - Canberra 15-14 Adelaide 13 Jan - Perth 15-6 Sydney (7) 13 Jan - Brisbane 5-4 Melb (7) 14 Jan - Canberra 19-2 Adelaide 13 Jan - Perth 10-9 Sydney 13 Jan - Brisbane 12-9 Melb (5) 14 Jan - Perth 19-22 Sydney 14 Jan - Brisbane 8-15 Melbourne WEEK NINE SERIES Adelaide @ Melbourne; Perth @ Brisbane; Canberra @ Sydney; Melbourne Ballpark Holloway Field Blacktown, Sydney 18 Jan - Melbourne 7-6 Adelaide 18 Jan - Brisbane 7-3 Perth 19 Jan - Sydney 1-7 Canberra 19 Jan - Melbourne 1-8 Adelaide 19 Jan - Brisbane 5-15 Perth 20 Jan - Sydney 0-2 Canberra (7) 20 Jan - Melbourne 4-3 Adelaide 20 Jan - Brisbane 9-5 Perth (7) 20 Jan - Sydney 5-13 Canberra 21 Jan - Melbourne 7-5 Adelaide 20 Jan - Brisbane 0-5

    Flintoff & Dunn’s AUSTRALIAN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL - 2010 CLAXTON 2010 IN REVIEW! - By Peter Flintoff Section 1 VICTORIA EMERGES TO WIN 22ND CLAXTON SHIELD - LAST OF THIS FORMAT? Under assurance that Australia’s new National Baseball League would definitely commence at the end of 2010, this 2009/10 Claxton Shield was proclaimed to be the last of its kind. Similar to the previous competition, this program was designed to be as close as possible to what the National League might bring as a kind of “forerunner” to the new competition. As another progressive upgrade from the previous year, each of the five major state teams were scheduled to play two three-game weekend series against each other state on a “home & away” basis. The schedule comprised more games than the previous season with the abandonment of the “Showcase Round” from the 2008/09 competition. Standard programming was for a Friday night game plus a Saturday afternoon/night double- header, however, separate games on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights were scheduled for Perth as a variation to this. Rained-out and/or postponed games were re-scheduled to be added to weekend programs for the return series between the same teams. At the conclusion of the 24 preliminary games played by each team the top placed team on the table was automatically qualified to host the best-of-three Grand Final series. The second placed team would host the third placed team in a best-of-three semi-final series for the right to play in the Grand Final. This Claxton Shield review is not intended to
