New broadcast!
As the 🧭 #NavegadoresNAG take revenge on the 🕊️ #PalomasCID, hear Dro and Louisa:

- discuss B&W photographic history;

- and more!
Watch!

Albán López (🪙 #CaciquesORO) walks with the bases loaded and scores Jesús Lucio (🕊️ #PalomasCID), and the 🇵🇷 #Borinqueños are finally on the board, 1-0 against the ☪️ #Sultanes.
Meanwhile, 🇲🇽 Héctor Sánchez puts #ElTri up 3-1 with an RBI groundout.
After 6 innings:
Things haven’t gotten worse—but the Naguabo offense is entirely gone.

Doesn’t look like 🇯🇲 Everton Stack is going to force a Game 5 so far.

Can La Timonera pull themselves off the rocks? Or does their season sink here?

A slide for June 20th's stream, which sends the Navegadores de Naguabo off to face the Palomas de Cidra at their home park. The lineup for the Navegadores, behind Jamaican righty Everton Stack, who is 22 years old, 1.75 meters tall, 86 kilograms heavy, and we are informed has never appeared in an elimination game: leading off, English lefty center fielder Graham Underwood; second, American lefty first baseman Rob Feaster; third, Puerto Rican left fielder Vidal Santiago; fourth, Cuban lefty designated hitter Pablo Salmerón; fifth, Australian third baseman Wally Balk; sixth, American lefty second baseman Etaoin Shrdlu; seventh, Mexican right fielder Frank del Castillo; eighth, Puerto Rican lefty shortstop Benigno Valdez; ninth, Argentine catcher Spike Stonehand.
TONIGHT:
Our 🧭 #NavegadoresNAG have stared down, and conquered, many challenges in the past three years—but this takes us back to 1902, or the last time they faced an elimination game.
Can 🇯🇲 Everton Stack force a Game 5 from the 🕊️ #PalomasCID?
fun begins at 7:05 PM EDT

If you missed Friday's broadcast, it's ready over on YouTube!
How far the 🕊️ #PalomasCID have fallen—from a 110-win #2 seed playoff run . . . that ended three games in . . . to an 89-79 finish and a third wild card.
Where, of course, they ran into the 🧭 #NavegadoresNAG. How'd that go? Come watch:
After six innings:
Naguabo sure did!
3 🧭 #NavegadoresNAG
1 🕊️ #PalomasCID
Thanks to 🇺🇸 Etaoin Shrdlu's quick thinking, the Naves have pulled ahead by a couple of runs . . . but they've got a very tired 🇯🇲 Everton Stack on the mound. Will he have to turn it over to the bullpen?

After three innings:
1 🕊️ #PalomasCID
1 🧭 #NavegadoresNAG
🏴 Graham Underwood ties it up with an RBI groundout! The Naves have their first hero moment of the postseason.
Can Naguabo improve on that result in the middle of the game?

After one inning:
0 🕊️ #PalomasCID
0 🧭 #NavegadoresNAG
Neither team managed more than a walk, but the Sabaneros drained 22 pitches out of 🇯🇲 Stack; 🇮🇪 Tranent got two of his outs on the first pitch.
Can Naguabo do better next time around?

We've been quiet for a few weeks due to the entire LNP staff coming down with other-jobs-itis, but we are back tonight—as the 🧭 #NavegadoresNAG prepare to take on the 🕊️ #PalomasCID in the first round of the 1906 playoffs!
First pitch in five minutes!
twitch.tv/lnpgaceta
First, of course, the 🐐 #ChupacabrasCAN and their absolutely lethal pitching rotation—🇵🇷 Fernando Mota, 🇵🇷 Pedro Cárdenas, and 🇵🇷 Raúl Jaramillo—knocked out the 🕊️ #PalomasCID, who usually count on making the third round purely because shortstop 🇵🇷 / 🇻🇦 Fr. Aníbal Reyes insisted on their divine favor.
🇮🇪 CF Turlough Ureña
(25, 80 OVR, R/R)
We're fairly confident in saying the #GuabalerosCOM 🕷️ have the first Cubano-Irish player in LNP history. (Dirty Jack Doyle doesn't count.)
Ureña's five-tool potential threatens to make the division much more competitive for the also-aggressive #PalomasCID 🕊️.
Excelentísimo, Betances:
RHP Carlos Rubio, #PalomasCID 🕊️
The former #4 prospect found his extra gear in the postwar years. His ability to keep walks down, dominate lefties and righties alike, and a 100% complete-game percentage gave him the edge here.
atl-01.statsplus.net/lnp/reports/...
Thank you! Always glad to have someone else along for the ride. Your #PalomasCID 🕊️ are a team and a half.
(Well, we assume that’s who you’re going for. The #LobosARE 🐺 might cook something up in the offseason, but they’re not what you would call “good” just now.)

11/24/1903:
Thanks to their top two, the #PalomasCID 🕊️ gave the #NavegadoresNAG 🧭 a hell of a fight—certainly more than any Naves fan had expected.
Fortunately, thanks to Vidal Santiago remaining one of the most reliable bats in the Naguabo lineup, they still won in six games. On to the pennant!
As we enter the late innings:
#PalomasCID 🕊️ 4
#NavegadoresNAG 🧭 3
Ted Balloon just handed the reins over to the bullpen. Can they hold off the Cidra offense and give the Naves a chance to respond?
