1998: The Final Stretch: Road to the Playoffs
The regular season is quickly coming to a close! With just 11 simulations remaining before the playoffs begin, we're entering the final stretch of the season.

November 11–15: Postseason Preparation Break
There will be no simulations from November 11 through November 15.
I'll be out of town during this period and don't plan on bringing my laptop. However, this break will also give our playoff teams some additional time to prepare for the postseason.
During this period, playoff teams should review their rosters and prepare any necessary adjustments, including:
- Sending players down and finalizing postseason rosters.
- Reviewing and adjusting starting lineups.
- Setting starting rotations and bullpen assignments.
- Submitting any other necessary roster or lineup changes.
The goal is to have everyone ready to go when the Division Series begins on November 16.
Postseason Schedule
- Division Series | November 16–22
- Championship Series | November 23–29
- World Series | November 30 – December 6
Offseason Break | December 7 – January 7
Once the World Series concludes, the DBL will officially enter offseason mode.
However, before we begin our usual offseason activities, we will be taking a one-month break from December 7 through January 7.
This will give everyone an opportunity to step away from the league for a bit, enjoy the holidays, and return refreshed for another offseason.
Offseason activities will officially resume on January 7, 2027.
