The Confidence Man Minute with Travis Miles

This is a transcript from Travis Miles’ post-game sign off of Game Three of the DCR Series of the Week.

When I saw that this week's assignment, my first thoughts were about off-field drama and a bad baseball team. As it turned out, all the drama this weekend was on the field. Hi everyone. I am Travis Miles, and this is "The Confidence Man Minute," Diamond City Radio's post-series show.

This weekend, we saw the host Nordhagen Beach Party Boys sweep the visiting County Crossing Bloodbugs, winning two of the three games in walk-off fashion. That included this afternoon's game when the Party Boys' Mike Swift singled in Michael Fogcrawler in the bottom of the tenth inning for the 6-5 win.

The big talking point for Nordhagen Beach is how much change this team has had in a short time and how positively that has affected the team, at least for this weekend. The newcomers had a big weekend. For one, as most baseball fans have heard, Nordhagen Beach lost their closer Kevin Containment to an apparent suicide by mirelurk. That has resulted in shuffling the roster and a trade.

First things first, Julian Shed was acquired in the same trade that brought Containment from Vault 81. Shed did not get the victory in Game 1, but he did pitch well for six innings. Also of note in Game 1, Ray Human, who moved from the starting pitching rotation to take over Containment's spot, earned his third save in three attempts. That has been an upgrade so far.

In Game 2. Sia Abber, who was just acquired three days ago from the Shaw H-S Knuckle Punchers, got to see his first action with his new team. He pitched a single inning, allowing only one hit and striking out one. In the bottom of the ninth, Taboo Richardson knocked in Michael Fogcrawler on a game-winning single to give Nordhagen Beach a 3-2 win and give Abber the win.

Game 3 was influenced by another player benefiting from the Containment loss. Tommy Beach, who moved from the bullpen as the "emergency starter" to the third starter in the lineup. He responded in his second start by moving to 2-0. He pitched all 10 innings, allowing five earned runs on seven hits with no walks and eight strikeouts.

What a weekend for the Party Boys! Well, that's it, folks. Next week, we at DCR are traveling to another last-place team to see what they can do: Jamaica Plain. We learned from Publick Occurrences this past week that the Red Rocket's Kasumi Nakano is purchasing the team, so we hope to feature her during our broadcast. That's all we have for this week. Travis out.
