The Game · 11-14-2013, 06:52 AM

3 games vs Springfield. While they are struggling offensively they are making up for it on pitching & defense. This tea is tacked with talent. From father & son combo of Homer & Bart Simpson to 1B John Baker, 3B Bert Calb, speedy 2B Jon Elkin, overall hitter Nordstrom & one of the best hitting Catchers Donny Druzbik. Pitching is solid too with 2016 ROTY Todd Philpott, rookie leftie Steve MArtinez and one of the top 5 Closers in Eric Kolzow. MGR is Homer Simpson.

The Game · 11-14-2013, 06:58 PM

3-3 this week. Price pitched great on Saturday vs the Isotopes having 9 K, he did give up 8 Hits in 8.1 IP though. Duggleby, Brett and Falcone are all struggling. We are lighting up the base paths stealing base after base. This is bar far the fastest team i have had top to bottom. Rookie C Drew Creswell has been great so far. Going to have to carry 2 C's when Bliss is healthy.
Final game of the month vs Springfield, hopefully with warmer weather on the horizon we will start winning.

The Game · 11-14-2013, 07:04 PM

Glenbard is back in 1st place. I would like to see Glenbard & Brandywine battle all season long. Rocky Top continues to impress in the NL East.

Are the Sox & Cubs seeing who can suck more and suck evenly? Really thought both teams would be better this year. The Sox have a good young pitching staff with Steve Foster, Steve Laurence, Steve Michaels & Nick Simmons. My nephew Chad is having his best season so far. .314 5 HR 17 RBI for the Cubs. Oakland is winning despite not having Kevin France right now.

The top of the CBF is really good while the bottom is really bad.

Alan Sheppard won AL Rookie of the Month. Congrats to him.

The Game · 11-14-2013, 08:02 PM

Finished the month at 10-10. -1 from what the PYT has us at. We ran into a lot of outs in the last game vs the Isotopes. W had 3 SB and was CS 5 times. Houser went 6 strong giving up 3 H but walked 4. We won in the 10th on a walk off error.
May looks to be a decent month. 3 DHers each Sunday except for the 1st Sunday. Hopefully we can gain some ground vs Endor City. Weird playing my former team. Hopefully Duggleby & Brett show GM Kenny Williams that the trade for Dan Toner & Andrew Jackson was a steal on my end.
I am hoping to go 17-13 in May worst case.

The Game · 11-14-2013, 08:04 PM

Not much change in any of the 3 league except the Cubs are no longer cellar dwellers.

POS: MR B: R T: R #16
How Acq: Drafted in the 2014 Expansion Draft Rd 13 Pick 3 51st overall.
Joël is from Corellia and like all Corellians he is proud. Han Solo is epitome of all Coreliians. Joël is no different. He like his hero Han Solo is also a freighter pilot. His grandfather, father and cousin all own a freighter restore operation called " Freighters Unwrecked" They plan on doing a reality show at some point. Joël is a master with engines. He has even helped Admiral Fox with his antiqued Z-95 Headhunter. Joël has traveled throughout the galaxy. When he visited Earth in 1999 when he was 7 is when he fell in love with baseball. His grandfather took him to a San Francisco Giants game vs the LA Dodgers. He is a Dodgers Bum.
Joël has very little EBL experience, getting his most playing time last season with the woeful Indians 116 loss team. If PC Don Cooper could help him harness his changeup he could be a future starter. It's either that or he should make a fine Closer someday.

The Game · 11-14-2013, 08:20 PM

2 game set @ COL. I love playing in this park and used to have some of my better games here. This team is not nearly as good as they once were when Pat Holmes was on the mound. They do still have an above average offense with 14 yr veteran Pat "Mr Parrot" Parayno in RF, Galen Cisner & Dev Illison. They have some youth in Doug Childers, Jim Lord & Sterne. They play in Parrot Stadium modeled after the Big A in Anaheim.

The Game · 11-15-2013, 02:58 AM

Chalica becomes the 1st Wookie to hit 3 HR in a game.

The Game · 11-15-2013, 03:05 AM

3 game set @ BC. I hate Bird City. It is a coastal city similar to San Francisco, so even in May you get winds coming in off of the bay and it swirls around that park and you never know where the ball is going to fall. Bird Bath Park is anything but a bird bath, it is a spacious park but the true power hitters should be able to lift a few. The Falcons have been a good team for a long time and are led by Homerun Baker, Gimm Cummings & Trevor Plouffe on offense. The bullpen is outstanding this year and their starters with crafty curveball pitcher Norman McDuffie and flamethrower Jim Marler are dangerous. Nice to see SS Ben Arnold back withtehteam and having a good year, for while he was the EBL's version of Ozzie Smith.
I demoted Gareth Hewson to AAA and recalled Dee-rae Ruhn, think I may have misspelled his name, so be it.

The Game · 11-15-2013, 03:46 PM

2-2. Hopefully I can get some better pitching. It doesn't help when the best player to ever play the game is hitting .200

The Game · 11-15-2013, 03:51 PM

good races throughout the EBL.

I am surprised Boston & Texas are so bad.

Great game for Price.

The Game · 11-15-2013, 10:57 PM

4 games @ Endor City with a DH on Sunday. They play in Mon Mothma Stadium, a pitchers park overall. They are led by many veteran players: George Lattman, Moose Burns, John Williams, Enos Watts, Pablo Escalante. They do have some youth with Zao, Holloman, Dimmesdale & Garces.

The Game · 11-16-2013, 12:35 AM

Good game for Walker.
Losing Ortiz will probably hurt Rocky Top. Their offense is killer though. McCain, Gagnè, Mewett, along with rookies Adidais & Lyman.

The Game · 11-16-2013, 12:37 AM

3-3 This is becoming a trend. Bradin Hagens replaced Houser in the rotation.
Pitching has been much better overall and now the offense is stale. Even if Duggleby were to hit half as well as his worst season he would be 3-4 games better. Falcone is struggling badly and now Morris is not hitting.

The Game · 11-16-2013, 12:41 AM

Atlantis has taken over 1st place in the AL East. Marlboro in 2nd.

The offseason moves Baltimore made are paying off.
