SIM COMPLETE - 1984 - Regular Season 9

[Jim]

Everyone pick your favorite/best player in your organization...now imagine that he is out 12 months

While not my favorite/best player I lost Sammarano for 10-12 months near the end of last season....I think best case scenario is he'll be back in late September/early October. Hopefully he can step-up quickly if we make the playoffs.

[Andrew]

Yeah I lost Jose Sanchez, arguably my best player, for 12 months as well. 12 month injuries are almost as bad as CEI.

[Clay]

I lose Oyos every season and he is easily my best player. Again, not putting it on the level of a year long loss. My team has the knack for losing someone that we are counting on right at the end of Spring Training every year.

I forgot to add to my "think of your favorite/best player...injured" criteria...You are a contender.

Clay, you're out.

[Plastic]

Another 4-3 sim. Did well against my division except for the Bats, who except for the extra inning game whooped our ass. Stole another one away from Virginia in the 9th, when they had the lead on us most of the game and took the 2 vs Wilimington. We have two 3 game series with Hartford and Maine up next.

Btw... got swept by Batavia... and then take 2 of 3 from Baltimore.

Weird.

[Clay]

I'm so sick of losing to the expansion teams.

[Andrew]

I'm so sick of losing to the expansion teams.

Don't worry, you'll have a chance to lose to Maine this week.

[Clay]

True.

Holy domination, Pat Smear!

Check out Joe Aurillo's numbers against Batavia this season!!! In the last three starts.... 38 K's!!!

[Pat]

5-2 sim.

The Good
-2B R.A. Grounds hit for the cycle on four hits! He also hit .400 this sim with a 1.124 OPS. He is now hitting .312 with a .846 OPS. Not bad for a 2B. Eat your heart out Clay T. Shaver.
-Love/Hate SP Joe Rodriguez went 2-0 with a .67 ERA. Love that guy.
-After bashing him the last two sims, CF Dan Hogan has a huge sim. Hits .353 with a 1.213 OPS, two homers, two doubles. I guess benching him for two games was a good move. Woke his ass up.
-SP Joe Chavaragga had two starts, 15 IP, 16 Ks, 0 BB, 1.20 ERA. Didn't get a decision however which leads me right into...

The Bad
-My bullpen was awful! Closer Zoilo Lambarra blew two saves, got one loss, giving up 10 hits on 3 IP. Wow.
-Top prospect, RF Michio Nago continues to struggle. I don't want to send him down, but hitting .167 for the week isn't helping.

The Ugly
-My favorite player. Best player. Most expensive player. And most valuable player. 1B Joe Sierra. Out for 12 months (the dude has never been on the DL before). I guess it is better than a career ender, but shit.

Prospect Report
-1982 1st-round pick, SP Jerry Stuart had his best start ever in AA. 7.2 IP, 5 hits, 2 walks, 0 ER, 9 Ks. He will be in Triple-A after the prospect additions and possibly in the bigs by September.

Next Week
-INTERLEAGUE PLAY! Rejoice! It is back!!! Washington first draws cellar dwellers Pawtucket and slumping Pittsburgh! The games are in Washington, so no DH.

[Spectre]

My first interleague sim on Thursday: I travel to Los Alamos and the Windy City :)

[Lintyfresh85]

-Top prospect, RF Michio Nago continues to struggle. I don't want to send him down, but hitting .167 for the week isn't helping.

You mean this Michio Nago?

May 6, 2008 in the Call your shots thread:
Still not up to Nago's .300, 100, and 50 stolen bases.

[Pat]

You mean this Michio Nago?

No, that was the Nago that was supposed to show up.

He hasn't been seen all year.

Latham wins IL Batter of the Month....again.

[Pat]

Damn, the Bock division is going to be great to watch!
