In Season β16 the Baltimore Crabs finished tenth in the Mild League and seventeenth in the ILB.

After a staggering 8 roster changes since the start of the last season the Crabs were slow to recover, but they still managed to activate their Carcinization ability for the first time, and Silvaire Roadhouse was able to bat in the league's first attractor, Brisket Friendo. Missing the postseason, the Crabs enjoyed the downtime until the election, where they gained Alston Cerveza and send Friendo rocketing to the Hellmouth, but also lost Silvaire Roadhouse for a revived Chorby Soul. With their pitching still in shambles things were looking grim for the Crabs.

Season Overview

Ghosts

The following summary mixes canon events with community lore.

Combs Duende steals second base.

With the loss of co-captains Forrest Best and Brock Forbes, as well as Kennedy Loser’s new haunting issue, Pedro Davids put his foot down and had Loser step down as acting captain for the season. Davids then recruited Silvaire Roadhouse and newcomer Parker Meng to assist in keeping the team, and the city, together. Naturally it quickly became a group effort across the team and many of the remaining roster were given a moment to shine.

Silvaire Roadhouse became the first player to recover a redacted batter as she spotted Brisket Friendo and immediately hit a 2 run home run to bring them into the Crab’s Shadows. When asked to comment she simply responded that she “Reckons this makes [her] a better PI than Plasma”.

Kennedy Loser’s haunting reunited him with some old friends including Nora Perez, Combs Duende, Tillman Henderson, and Firefighter Joshua Butt. Not only was this an opportunity to reconnect with old friends and confide in former captains, but it also offered Duende a chance to fulfill a play long coming, as she successfully stole second base.

Meanwhile Tot Fox was able to activate the team’s first Black Hole against the Canada Moist Talkers with Silvaire Roadhouse following suit later in the season. Notably this was also the pair that activated the league’s first ever Black Hole back in the Season 10 finals.

Pitcher Luis Acevedo was able to just barely beat out their first game against their husband Tot Clark who was pitching for the Seattle Garages. Notably Clark did win their next matchup, but Acevedo insists only the first one counts.

moments before a disaster

After the building of the Salmon Cannons in during the Late Siesta, Fish Summer was the first player to demonstrate their functionality as they were launched out of a game with the Seattle Garages and into Elsewhere. Pedro Davids followed suit several games later against the Hawai'i Fridays, and unfortunately was not able to return before the end of the season, making this the second off-season that he has spent Elsewhere.

In other parts of the league, former Crab Forrest Best was spotted appearing from a Secret Base, and managed to steal third before being rudely interrupted by Patel Beyonce of the Dallas Steaks hitting a home run. Brock Forbes and Jacoby Podcast were also given a chance to reunite from mentor and mentee to rival pictures for the Boston Flowers and Ohio Worms, with Forbes beating out Podcast in extra innings by two points. After a reverb of the Flower’s rotation order, Forbes and Podcast had the opportunity for a rematch, where Forbes once again won out by two runs in extra innings.

Election

The Crabs had a turbulent election. Despite managing to pull of a maneuver with Alston Cerveza through the combination of their Carcinization ability, and successfully sending back Brisket Friendo from their shadows, the moment was soured as they also gained Chorby Soul from the Hall of Flame. Furthermore, since the Boston Flowers had a similar misstep, rather than Short simply replacing Silvaire Roadhouse, she was sent to Boston with fellow, now former, Crab Brock Forbes.

With Pedro Davids once again elsewhere for the off season, the Crabs looked at what they had left, and began pulling together their team.
