SIM COMPLETE - 1980 - Sim 11

[Andrew]

Big week for Maine. Gained 4 games in the division. Bill Johnson had 3 HR and 9 RBI in his first week in Maine. :D

2-1 vs. Baltimore, 1-2 vs. Carolina. My pitching has been stellar. My hitting has gone down the shitter.

hmm... some people's 1st round picks didn't even play a game.

[Whale]

wow

So I'm tied for first place with Pawtucket, with Maine coming up fast. In the process...

3B Matt Bender Herniated Disc (Back) 2-3 months
LF Marv Snyder Hyperextended Knee one week
CF Frank Donegan Strained Back Muscle 2 weeks


Three starters lost, two of them on the first game of the week. One word: Faaaaantastic!

[Jistic]

3-3, still a game out. Hernandez back from injury gives me 5 starters with all ERA's under 3, and 2 of them under 2.

I think I finally have found a lineup...we'll see.

A great first week for Woodbury, but we struggled against Maine. Unfortunately, Iliquez is going to miss this important upcoming week with a concussion after making a catch despite running into the outfield fence and knocking himself out cold.

PS, our division has the three best teams in baseball.

2-3

Might be time for the fire sale.

May have the best records, but I don't think you have the best teams...The DL Lager division has two teams that will challenge anyone in the league.

Anyway, we went 3-3 and lost another half a game to Hyundai, now 3 games back. We lost 3 games to lowly California (good job Cali), games we should have won.

Sergio Lumar hit 3 HR's and hit .435 this week. The offense has been great, but my pitching is just not coming together this year. My top two pitchers are 8-12, not good.

The Bock Division is TOUGH this year. Hard to make up any ground, practically have to go 6-0 each week.

We went 4-2 this week, winning both series @ Pawtucket and @ Hyundai, so I'm pretty pleased with that. Frank Esser won his 10th straight decision, he's been a huge surprise for me so far. Moved to to #1 in the Power Rankings, if that means anything since I wouldn't make the playoffs right now.

Big 4 game series between the Tobs and Davenport this week.

[Clay]

3-3 this week, all on the road. Not great, but an improvement. My farm system is starting to get settled now. I'm actually getting an idea of what I have to work with.

Dude, 3 teams with 0.600+ winning percentages? That's crazy.

[Riverman]

3-2 - just good enough to maintain my slim lead. Two more one run losses; my last 6 losses have all been by one run. I've got to start winning my share of the close ones or I don't think I'll make.

Pleasant surprises from my new draft class. Both of the starters I inserted into my A rotation pitched 8 innings of shutout ball to pick up wins in their pro debuts. Baseball America likes my 10th round pick, a 17 year-old catcher - the best. He batted .417 his first week.

[Dave]

4-2, not bad. Two 1-run losses to Hyundai, followed by a 3-game road sweep of first place Pawtucket. Lost my starting 2B for a few weeks (Santos), but Gorben has been hitting well in spot duty and can hopefully cover the loss.

Dallyn and Nathan have been great at the front of the rotation. In the end, this team will go as far as those two guys, Kellum and Mabbett can take it.

Also of note, 25-year-old catcher Xever Magano (12th round pick in the initial draft) is once again hitting over .300 and is one HR shy of his career high after only 58 games. He was a real find (by the CPU).

might be true, but you are getting a healthy helping of the worst team in the same division.
