God Speed!

[Jake]

I don't know which is worse, "Good luck" or "God Speed!"

[Pat]

At least he is using punctuation.

I'll work on it.

Looks like Basil is a starter now and looked pretty good doing it. Got a sleeper there, Matt?

Quit spying on my secret weapon!

He has 5 stamina, and AAA Martel has 5 stamina. I said all along if they could only learn a 3rd pitch. I'm just kinda experimenting with them now.

Pawtucket 4-3

Had quite a nice hot streak going there and then.....

MORE INJURIES!!! Lost steam soon after and fell back below .500.

My #1 Pitcher & starting OF from last year is out right now. I'm also barely able maintain a minor league system.

Despite all of this , we are actually hanging in there.

Forgot to mention in the first post. Dallas is asshole of the SIM for having 26 at the AAA level.

5-2 week for the Colonials. Too bad we're in the Stout and can't pick up a game on DC.

Woodbury gets player of the week and month. AND reclaims Top Player spot from Geoff Scott.

Jerry Daly is rookie of the month.

Pancho and Ben Irvin continue their battle for 91's best hurler. Too bad Smear already awarded Pale Ale.

Forgot to mention in the first post. Dallas is asshole of the SIM for having 26 at the AAA level.

So that's why I went 2-5.

[Lintyfresh85]

3-4.

Played like crap against Los Alamos, split four games with Baltimore.

Playoff chances quickly slipping away.

[Matt]

4-3 (25-26 overall)

2-1 vs. Wilmington
2-2 vs. Philly

Good

- Hitting. We hit 9 HR's this week, the power surge with Bovey continues. Unfortunately he's an old guy who won't be with us next year, but for now he's playing great.
- Ruben 'Cool Papa' Marin also hit 3 jacks, giving him 8 on the year.
- The bullpen...again. Crossman, Rosalio, DeLacy, Little...0 ER on the week.

Bad

- SP Athey got jacked up in his 2nd start and blew out his back. His 6.75 ERA for the week pales in comparison to the fact that he's gone for the rest of the season. He was 3-1 with a 2.72 ERA.
- 7 errors in 7 games...unbelievable.

Other News

- Our experiment with moving Basil to SP was favorable. 6.3 IP, 3 HA, 2 R, 4 K's, 1 BB. The first inning he was nervous, walked the 1st batter, then a double brought that guy home. The rest of the way, 1 run, no walks. He doesn't have a 3rd pitch so we'll try to keep him on a short leash and let the bullpen come in and finish out games.

- We've gone from last to 9th in Top Systems over the course of the last year. '90's 2nd round draft pick MR Ivan Martinez learned a 3rd pitch and is now the #14 best prospect as a SP.

- '89 2nd round pick Helespontico Jarava was moved up to AAA and has been hitting .351/.395/.389. The 24 year old from Brazil has an amazing work ethic, is smart, and extremely loyal. We're hoping for his continued development and grooming him to take over 2B for Dynes next season.

- DeLacy (2.30 ERA, 0.96 WHIP) and 2B Dynes (.281/.380/.413, all 8's in infield defense) are on the block.

This better be an early August swoon or it won't be pretty in Denver.

In other news:

elprez's boy Lonnie Grady winning IL POTM. Nice. Definitely excited for the kid.

Would like to have seen Washington win the DL Hitter side, but Pawtucket has too good a catcher.

As a consolation prize, Don McDonald's May was impressive enough to the DL Pitcher honors for the month. In his last start, he threw 6.2 innings against Syracuse allowing zero hits. But he had walked 6 and his pitch count was 118. History prevented for another night.

[liquidcrash]

We went 3-4, our best sim in weeks as we finished May a cool 8-20. We were never going to be a contender this year but the injuries have just destroyed any hope we had of being decent.

Hector Castre is quietly having a very solid season but he's getting absolutely no help. Kip Powell has been a pleasant surprise, holding his own in LF. Other than that, there's nothing positive to report in Carolina.

That would have been awesome.

He did finally lose against Cali last week. 7 innings, 7 hits, 2 runs. We had 12 hits and only scored one run, so I wouldn't even put that on him. And yes, he still wants to close...
