SIM COMPLETE - 1979 - Sim 23

[Andrew]

Looks like the division races are pretty much wrapped up. Davenport and Hyundai are still in striking distance but it's not looking good.

[Sully]

Took 2 of 3 from Davenport (You're welcome, Jistic), and swept Los Alamos.

5-1 on the week. We're rolling at the right time. I hope it carries into the playoffs.

I lost my 2b, Earl Eanes, to a fractured wrist...but only for 2 weeks. Lucked out there.

Man, these last few weeks really blew open what looked like a tight race in the Stout. Congrats Sully - here's hoping you represent us better than I did last year in the playoffs.

On the bright side, Ed Aucoin is making the most of his late season audition and looks like an OF starter next season.

season...over

[Z]

We've won 8 of our last 10, so I guess there's reason for optimism next season.

Thanks, Skerik. It's crazy how pretty much every division featured a tight race for a good part of the season, but the playoff picture is starting to clear up much earlier than we expected.

For those of you with late season call-ups, let us know how they're doing. I'm interested in hearing how the future of the BLB is playing.

what's that? 4-2 again? surprise surprise. lose a game. all but over for me :(

[robster1225]

had a great sim, and now a pretty safe 5 game lead.

As far as call ups, i've got C. Hoeft in my rotation now, and he's 3-0 in 3 starts with 24 IP, which means 3 quality starts. Hoeft's ERA is an amazing 1.88. L. Carillo is playing well also, he's hitting .323 with a .413 OBP, 7 HR's, 26 RBI in only 31 games.

It's amazing that I called these guys up as backups, and they've already earned starting spots on a playoff team. The future looks bright in Los Lunas.

Cade Roberts is pretty decent for an 18 year old in the majors, he'll be stud later on. :)

[Jistic]

Took 2 of 3 from Davenport (You're welcome, Jistic),

Thank you! I owe you one.

Wow went 6-0 and went up 5 games.

Great lead, but it's still not over. Pitching has been ridiculous down the stretch. Could have 2 20 game winners with a third being close. I just get nervous that it's gonna even out at the end. Cobellan is actually out pitching McOwl. We're 12-3 so far this month, that's gonna change soon.

[GIGGAS2]

2-4... looks like I better start gearing up for the future.

[rubisco43]

Oy.. 13 game road trip coming up. 3 vs. Los Lunas. I totally need to go like 10-3 to make a serious run.

[BruceM]

Well, certainly nothing to write home about, but we did have one good game during the sim. Young Jerry Dean won his 21st game pitching 8 solid innings while allowing 5 hits, 1 walk and recording 6 K's.

It was a good game all around as every player had at least one hit and all but two had at least one RBI as we beat Hartford 12 - 2. Of course Hartford kicked our butts in the other two games of the series.

Now that the Commish has my password set for me I can access the team and have a good look around. Maybe we can get some positives over the last couple of weeks of the season and make something good happen next year.

Like trading Jerry Dean to the Dinos?

[Pat]

Giving some AAA and AA guys a chance to see if they can start next year.

If they are good enough, I am probably going to have to do some trading in the off-season.
