SIM COMPLETE - 1992 - SIM 3

[BradZ]

Kids learn young... Rookie Bernal beans MAP inciting a bench clearing brawl with the Bats. Nice!

Former Bats property, no less. Perhaps MAP wronged him during ST/instructs at some point in the past?

Hey Jake.... I redid that Syracuse logo for you to make it more fitting for your season....




Congrats on "winning" the off-season though. ;)

Pancho Perez had more home runs this sim than my team has all year.

Sorry, Jake, but you gotta admit that's funny.

California Kodiak (7-12)
0-3 @ Batavia
2-2 @ Philadelphia

Good:

Pitchers seeing double - Tad Jackson, who led the BLB with 62 2B in 1991, is off to a fast start once again this year with 13 doubles in three weeks. Combined with his stellar defense and the removal of Geoff Scott from the division, Jackson may finally have a shot at making the 1992 IL All-Star team.

"Who is that man?" - Unheralded CF Angelo Hernandez had a big week with the bat hitting .348 and posting an .870 OPS. The reigning gold glove winner in CF, Hernandez is paid to catch the ball, anything we get from his bat is a plus.

Float like a butterfly... - Willie Simmons, a member of the AAA Bakersfield Cannons, recently recorded his first shut out of the season going 9 IP while striking out 8. Simmons, one of the few knuckleballers in all of baseball, has now recorded 23 complete games and 10 shut outs in the last four seasons.

Bad:

Power outage - Just as last year, California continues to struggle in the power department. Currently sitting last in the league in home runs, the Kodiaks have only mustered three in the first three weeks of the season.

Can't buy a hit - For the week, the Kodiaks put up a pathetic .211/.256/.306/.562 line while only scoring 15 runs in seven games.

Rough streets of Sacramento - SP prospect Heui-chung Pak was mugged leaving the grocery store while buying formula for his three month old baby girl. In the ensuing melee, Pak broke his knee cap and will miss the next seven months.

Took 2 of 3 from Hartford, and the first in Pawtucket before dropping the next three.

Still not ready for the big boys yet

Pawtucket 5-2

Did what we had to against Maine (2-1)/ Pitts (3-1). Again its so early, just trying to keep a nice pace.

Other notes:

Hector Snchez nice start so far as for the pitching in general. May have an early bust with Griffin. See how long he goes until he tests my patience.

As stated earlier, offense sucking ass in spring as they did last year. Ral Zamora batting over .300 and 16 DP to start the year! Carmen is just being Carmen at the moment!!!

Dropping like a stone - Donato Guardamagni fought and fought to stay near the top of the Top Pitchers list, but unfortunately his day in the sun has come to an end (for now). Currently rehabbing a reconstructed elbow, Guardamagni falls from fourth all the way off the Top 20 list.

Is this another list that I'm not aware of? In-game Donato is still #2 on the pitchers Top 20 list. Am I missing something?

No. My bad. I didn't see him there.

Disregard.

Oh, you didn't know? We have a forum where Clay posts the real ratings every sim.

Deep down I alays secretly knew that, but didn't want it to be true. Must be invitation only.

So, you've got that going for you . . . which is nice.

[Carlos]

Dude, that sucks 100x.

Yo, Clown, how you doing? Stop being so good, ok?


Also, tell Manny Mendez to stop trying to outshine Chet Poole. We don't like that very much here in Denver.

Freaking both guys, here. 4 starts. 4 wins. ERAs under 3. Neither walking a soul. It's like a freaking mirror here.

You had to put a hit out on my second baseman to win that series, you scumbag.

It's funny because it's true.

I'm not that surprised, although I figured we'd at worst be around .500. Sad thing is, our pitching has been fantastic (seriously - ERA doesn't say it but it's been good) and it's the bats that are letting us down. Greg Josey is done - put a fork in him. Bolton's a bum. The other guys (outside of Carbajal, Scott, and to a point Underwood) are inconsistent at best.

Nice artwork Clay. I just wish it wasn't true.

Hey, say hello to ya motha, ok?

I'm enjoying the winning sims so far. Not sure how we squeaked 5-2 out of this week, but we'll take it. Pitching was just OK, but the hitting was much worse. Not sure what happened there.

Either way, really close games this week, we just ended up on the right side of 'em.
