SIM COMPLETE - 1984 - Regular Season 8

[Andrew]

Next sim: Tuesday

Sorry for the delay.

Just to let you guys know the 4th of July schedule. I will be away for a few days so we won't be having a sim on Thursday July 3rd or Sunday July 6th.

4-3 just like I predicted...

Should of been 5-2. Blew the last game by giving up 4 in the 9th. That's got to change.

[Sully]

5-2
Lost the first two games of the week to Batavia, then won our next 5, including a 4 game sweep of the Colonials.

[Jake]

Terrible. We take 2 of 3 from the leagues best, Sin City, and then get swept 4 games by Denver, two in extras. Our bullpen is so trash.

Looks like Joe Sierra woke up.

[Clay]

Hate this ******* game!!!

[Lintyfresh85]

Scratch that... should of gone 6-1. Two blown saves.

That HAS to change.

[Plastic]

4-3 sim. Took 2 out of 3 vs the Tobbs, and split the 4 game series against the Bats. My Closer, Cleary brought in the only run of the game in extra innings in one of the games vs Washington...crazy!

Next sim I am playing my entire division: 2 vs Virginia, 2 vs Wilimington, and a 3 game series @ Washington.

If my Math serves me.... that's 7 sims between now and then. That would mean that last sim (Tuesday July 1st) would be the All-Star Game sim.

Pretty perfect timing for a break if you ask me!!!

The Bat Report

The Good
-Joe Sierra is hitting better. IL player of the week. He is now hittign .281 with 20 doubles, 3 homers, and 37 RBI. A far cry of where I expected him to be at this point, but he is hitting again.
-R.A. Grounds is hitting .377 with a .940 OPS in May. Sign of things to come?
-Mr. Inconsistent, SP Joe Rodriguez went seven scoreless against Morgantown, giving up just 2 hits, no walks, and striking out six.

The Bad
-CF Dan Hogan's averaged dropped down to .204 after a week in which he hit 1/23. He is still playing great defense, stealing bases, and hitting XBHs (.690 OPS), but .204?! Come on.
-LF Steve Bing isn't doing much better. He is currently hitting .260 with a .313 OBP. He is no longer my leadoff man.
-Of my loses this week, two were by 1-run, one was by 2-runs, two were by 3-runs. The Bats have now lost 8 of their last 13. I don't deserve to be in first place, and, I'm not.
-3-4 sim, 1-2 against Baltimore and split 2-2 vs. Morgantown.

The Ugly
-SP Romano Gonzalez is 2-5. Last season he went 20-8, and the year before 17-6.

Prospect Coverage
-Not one of my top prospects, but SP Jerry Hull (AA), is tearing it up. In 50.1 IP, 2.68 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, 43 H, 44 Ks, 15 BB, 0 HR. And I play in a hitters park. He will be in Triple-A when the new prospects get put in.

Next Week
-Huge sim. 2 vs. Wilmington, 2 vs. Virginia, 3 vs. Morgantown. What a way to go into interleague play. I get the entire Stout, at home, in one-week. Time to see how good this '84 Bats squad is.

Take that Hartford!

[Lintyfresh85]

Looking at the sim for tomorrow... California should go at least 3-3.

Then again knowing our luck... we'll probably end up getting swept by Batavia.

[Jistic]

1 game out of first. Our division rules! We're only gonna get healthier. Loving our starting rotation.

[Pat]

Uh oh. Philly woke up. 7-0 sim.

[Z]

An undefeated sim. Seven consecutive wins against Windy City and Batavia. Maybe this means we're finally turning the corner.

[Lintyfresh85]

We're sweeping you... just thought you should know ahead of time.
