1st (1st) Houston 2nd (7th) Cincinnati 3rd (5th) Chicago (N) 4th (2nd) Cleveland 5th (10th) New York (A) Code:
20th (18th) Washington 21st (22nd) Milwaukee 22nd (20th) San Diego 23rd (23rd) Kansas City 24th (24th) Montreal Major Transactions ------------------------ News ----------------------- August 3: Phillies 1B Josh Coffey (.321, 9, 52) took home his first ever Player of the Week award by grabbing 16 hits in 30 at-bats with a homerun and 7 RBI. I wouldn't call him an MVP candidate but hey, I guess anything's possible if he has a torrid last couple months. August 3: Yankees 3B Tommy Weiss (.301, 15, 57) was the AL Player of the Week. He went "only" 10 for 28 with a couple HR and 9 RBI. It was more of a seasonal achievement award. This was Weiss' 3rd PotW and 1st this season. August 5: We've got a good old Battle of the Crap in a midweek series! Today the Milwaukee Brewers blew up the Kansas City Royals' pitching 11-5 to take some temporary bragging rights. Jeremiah Vardaman (8-8, 3.75) blew a 2-run lead coming in relief of starter Chris McGranahan (3-4, 4.80) but was still the pitcher of record when the Brew Crew exploded for 8 runs in the 7th off 3 Royals pitchers. The victory puts Milwaukee and Kansas City even in last place in the AL West with identical 42-66 records. August 5: Probably more importantly this season, the Oakland A's were for a few minutes in the lead in the AL West after the Twins got blown out by the White Sox 10-3 today. The A's were locked with the Angels and Dustin Beaulieu (9-11, 4.20) into the 11th inning until pinch-hitter Wayne McSparren's (.250, 3, 8) sacrifice fly brought in 1B Pete Jennings (.306, 12, 58) off reliever Josh Howard (3-1, 3.26). As it is, Oakland sits 3 percentage points ahead of Minnesota, with a 58-46 record (.558) vs. the Twins' 61-49 (.555). Minnesota by the way is 1-5 this month and have won just 2 games in their last 10. August 6: Milwaukee beats Kansas City 8-1 to sweep the Battle of the Crap. The Brewers chased Royals starter Jason LaPointe (8-4, 3.94) in the 6th, scoring all the runs they'd need to go ahead 5-0. Brewers' starter Ricardo Gomez (8-6, 3.99) lost his shutout in the 9th but reliever Danny Plaunt (4-5, 3.54) came in to rescue the game for a non-save save. August 6: Bad news at the worst time for the A's, as CF Alex Vallejo (.309, 4, 34) hurt himself in a 9-1 blowout loss to the Angels and will miss the next month with... shoulder inflammation? OK, I guess. Both the A's and Twins are 11 games over .500 but both are struggling a bit. The Angels are just 3 games in back of both. August 6: Phillies RHP Marius Gaddi (18-2, 2.15) threw a 4-hitter to extend his winning streak to 12 games, tying him with Angelo Ramos (17-2, 2.51) for the longest of the year. Unfortunately the game doesn't log winning streaks the way it logs hitting streaks so I have no idea where this sits in the record books. The win also, at least temporarily, puts the Phillies back into a tie with the Chicago Cubs. (Incidentally, the Phillies lost the 2nd game of their doubleheader and then the Cubs won later that day to put them a game up as of the end of the day.) August 7: Judge Harold Haley is taken hostage and then murdered by a group who is attempting to free George Jackson from police custody. August 7: Dodgers 2B Billy Tristan (.313, 11, 38) will miss the rest of the season with a sprained knee. Tristan's 40 so there's a good chance that this will be the last we'll see of him; still, he's been an effective hitter even with the injury proneness and I have to think he'll hang on somewhere, maybe not at second anymore and maybe not with the Dodgers, who desperately need to have a youth movement. August 7: Speaking of California hitters, Padres CF Tyler Mitchell (.241, 6, 17) was diagnosed with a torn labrum today and will miss the rest of the season as well. Mitchell had scorched the PCL earlier this year and earned a call-up, where he'd stopped hitting quite as well (he had a .311 average with a .406 OBP in AAA compared to .241/.339 marks in the majors) but had shown a lot of pop (6 HRs in 108 ML at-bats). See you next year, Tyler! August 7: A huge, huge 4-game series opens up in Connie Mack Stadium as the Phillies take on the Cubs. In the opener, Roger Quintana (8-9, 3.91) outdueled Bill Lucas (9-12, 3.97), giving up just 2 hits over 8 innings before allowing Tom Grohs (5-2, 2.09) to pick up his 13th save. The win brings the two teams into a tie in the NL East. August 8: I guess the lack of winning and reduced role has gotten to Mets 2B Nick Warren (.228, 4, 34), as he complained to me today. I've been using 35 year old Bob Baldwin (.258, 1, 4) at the position. He's been adequate, but 35? That said, with the Mets falling out of contention as they are, I do think it's time to turn it over to someone else. Sunk cost fallacy tells me I can't get rid of Baldwin, as he came in to challenge Nick Hawkinson at third (and the Mets gave up Jeff Nation, who's looking like a dark horse ROY candidate for KC, for him), so instead I'm going to dump 37 year old Jose Vallin (.253, 2, 23). Coming on up is 26 year old Luis Alvarez (.290, 1, 11 in AAA Tidewater), who's a little old but now that I look at it, a. he was the team's starter from 67-68, and b. he's been slowed way down by injuries recently but has raked in the minors. August 8: The Cubs got help from a rather unlikely source today, as LHP Scott Coffey (5-4, 4.45) held the Phillies to 2 runs on 3 hits and kept his team in the game long enough for backup C Ian Singleton (.253, 3, 16) to belt a grand slam in the 7th. Chicago indeed won this game 6-2, is back to a game up in the standings, and has evened this series heading into tomorrow's doubleheader (which, MAN there are a lot of doubleheaders in this schedule). For Philadelphia, Billy Ording (4-3, 3.26) suffered from the control issues that have plagued him throughout the last couple years (he's averaged 4.3 BB/9 in both '69 and '70), walking 6 batters in 6+ innings. Then Orlando Flores (0-2, 5.59) gave up the dinger, his 5th in 37 IP on the season and last as a Phillie because I cut his stupid butt right after this game. I'm the GM, I do what I want! August 9: A pair of bad injuries today... first up, California Angels 3B Kristian Schneider (.297, 5, 51) will miss basically the rest of the season (5-6 weeks) with a strained ACL. This pretty much deep-sixes the Angels' chances this year, as Schneider is their 3-hole hitter. August 9: The Senators, meanwhile, have to deal with the fact that their 25 year old ace Kent Coffey (10-9, 2.65) will miss the remainder of the season with shoulder inflammation. It feels like in real life 1970 they'd have told him to rub some dirt on it and go in anyway, but then again in real life 1970 he'd probably tear his rotator cuff or something and end his career. August 9: Just a general schedule-wise thing: there are *20* games on the docket today. Twenty! Basically, every team except four are playing double-headers. This is on top of the fact that many of these teams have been playing without a day off or just one day off since mid-July. I manually changed the "optimal" rotation size from 5 men to 4 and I would recommend anyone playing in the 60s and 70s, historical or fictional, to do likewise. Like half the teams are already in 5 man rotations anyway and of them, I'm sure a couple will still need to use spot starters (I'll predict that basically all of the teams with 4-man rotations will require spot starters today). I should also note here that the top 5 guys in projected IP are projected to start between 37 and 40 games. Point being, this era with the as-played schedules is made for a 4 man rotation and not the default 5. August 9: Leave it to one of the non-doubleheaders to have all the good stories! First up, Red Sox 2B Dwayne Fraser (.332, 2, 45) pulled off an unlikely cycle against the Tigers in a 6-0 win at Fenway Park today. Fraser doubled in the 2nd, hit a 2-run triple in the 4th, hit a solo HR off of Tigers starter Edgar Molina (11-10, 3.70) in the 6th, and then capped his night with a single in the 8th. "I like turtles," said Fraser after the game. August 9: So, like, you'd think that Fraser would be the player of the game for that, right? You'd be wrong. Justin Kindberg (15-9, 2.31) shut out the Tigers on 3 hits today. This was his 9th shutout of the season and that is already a new major league record. Did I mention we're still in early July? The old record was set back in 1948 by Joe Bartlett (career record: 120-92, 3.49), who debuted in th league at age 27. Bartlett was a fantastic player in the post-war era whose game suddenly fell off a cliff in 1949. It did get tied by, ironically, Tigers RHP Vince Akright (9-9, 3.70 this season). Akright, incidentally, has zero shutouts this year to date. August 9: The Cubs played very mean vistors today, sweeping the doubleheader against the Phillies to go 3 games up in the standings. They outlasted Philadelphia 6-3 in the opener thanks to 8 strong innings from Victor Marin (8-5, 3.61) and a 3-run HR by RF Adam Groves (.236, 13, 40). Then, in the nightcap, spot starter Kenny Jones (8-6, 4.62) threw a 7 hit shutout and struck out 11 men en route to a 8-0 victory. Jones did also walk 6 batters so in spite of all the Ks you can kind of see why he was kicked out of the rotation. Still, when he's on, he's on. Also, this was a relatively close game - 3-0 in the 9th - until reigning MVP 1B Antonio Lopez (.299, 18, 80) blasted a grand salami off of Phillies stopper Tom Grohs (5-2, 2.88), whose ERA has climbed nearly 2 runs since the beginning of the month. These two teams have two more series against each other: a midweek series in Wrigley from Septemer 1 to 3, and then the second-to-last series of the season back in Connie Mack Stadium from September 25 to 27. Assuming Philadelphia can dust themselves off after this, there's still a lot more to play. Teams In Review ----------------- August 6: So it's basically the second half and so we get to the Washington Senators. Code:
Team Name W L % STR GB R HR AVG SB ERA HR/9 BB/9 K/9 PCT ZR Att Washington Senators 48 60 .444 L3 16 416 54 .251 75 3.40 0.7 3.4 5.2 .979 33.4 606,712 Rotation: The rotation has been pretty good (3rd in the AL in starters' ERA) and is also young, with the oldest guys in there being 28 year old Brian Bruno (7-10, 3.96) and Kevin Freeman (7-10, 3.41). All that said, Bruce Rubio (7-5, 3.91 at AAA Denver) hasn't been fantastic in AAA but he's moved up a lot, so... why not? He's the #3 prospect on the team; may as well give the 22 year old 27th overall pick in last year's draft a couple months to show what he can do. Bullpen: The casualty in the above move was LHP Dale Parks (2-2, 4.95), who had been getting angry about not being in the rotation. Guess what, Dale? You were barely on this team and probably don't deserve to be in the major leagues. Someone else might take a chance on you. Jaden Dukes (1-1, 4.26) is the team's long reliever right now; he's 29 and has gone from striking out 12 guys per 9 innings in Denver to 4.3 in Washington. He is also on notice. Infield: I can't bring myself to bench 1B John Skelton (.305, 13, 46), who provides veteran leadership (he's 41) and also hits the ball well. Not sure how long he lasts but he can be the anchor of the 1970 offense. Joe Nyman (.229, 4, 31) has been given 2 years to show that he can hit and... it's just not going to happen. I'm benching him immediately. I could use 3 time Gold Glover Tyler Knight (.186, 0, 12) but a. he hasn't hit either, and b. he's also 28 (Nyman's 29) and so I don't really see either player being part of the next good Senators team. Instead, I'm calling up 23 year old Jose Hernandez (.302, 11, 29 at AA Pittsfield), who only recently got promoted to AAA. The scouts say he's another good-field, no-hit guy but I like those minor league numbers. Rob Curran (.233, 2, 21) is also not hitting but at least he's only 23. Maybe he'll get better. Also, he's a solid fielder at third, which is nice. Jason Georges (.264, 4, 30 at AA Pittsfield) is the top prospect at 3rd but I'm not seeing him in the team's top 25 so that's all relative. He just got promoted to AAA; maybe he'll hit well enough to challenge Curran in spring training next year. Outfield: Bill Swan (.291, 9, 41 at AAA Denver) went 5-51 in an earlier trial in the majors this year but he's hitting too well to not bring back. Sorry, Jon Fath (.167, 1, 6), but you're 33 and you're not really hitting any better than Sebastiano Veneziano (.227, 7, 47) was. Swan could be horrible, which, hey, higher draft pick! August 9: The Atlanta Braves were doing pretty well all in all but a 3-6 August gets them to 60 losses and, probably, an official exit from the playoff race. Code:
Team Name W L % STR GB R HR AVG SB ERA HR/9 BB/9 K/9 PCT ZR Att Atlanta Braves 52 60 .464 L3 17 492 124 .248 53 4.70 1.1 3.5 4.9 .980 5.8 820,255 Rotation: Tony Morales (3-2, 7.08) has started poorly but he's the Braves #1 pitching prospect (36th in the majors; the farm has gotten a bit thin) so he's going to get another shot. Fortunately, I guess, the only person in the rotation over 30 was Vinny Sanchez (8-13, 4.47), who was the guy who was just pulled. I keep thinking that Trevon Dean (13-10, 5.06) is older but no, dude's only 28. German Canales (1-1, 5.40 in AAA Richmond) and Jorge Martinez (10-6, 3.30) are also rated highly in the system but I think they're both around a year away. Bullpen: Kevin Pennock (5-7, 6.08) has been all kinds of bad this year but I'm reticent to cut him outright since he was 18-8 with a 3.06 ERA last year. He's a pitch-to-contact guy who needs to hit the corners and he hasn't done that this year (4.1 BB/9) and as a result he's gotten blown up (20 HRs in 111 IP). One thing I will do is DFA 29 year old Seth Cokely (1-4, 4.89), who was given the chance to prove himself and, frankly, he's failed. Infield: The Braves have 2 All-Stars, a third guy in Vicente Luna (.296, 4, 19) who probably would have made the game if he was healthy, and two younger players here. Record or no, there's no point in putting any of these guys on the bench for the sake of change. Outfield: At some point I'm going to need to shift RF Henry Riggs (.275, 29, 79) to an easier position but he's not trained in left field. Probably that'll get done in spring training. Ruberto Yebra (.275, 2, 21) was expected to be the team's leadoff hitter but he's not really cutting it - he doesn't field well (-1.5 ZR) and isn't really great at getting on base (.326 OBP). The only thing he really brings is speed (13/19 SB). I'll go ahead and give him the rest of the month / maybe the rest of the year to show what he's got but the clock is ticking. Josh Damon (.235, 6, 24) has been a 4th outfielder for a while with Atlanta but as it stands currently he's the best fielder in center among anyone who's really eligible. That being said... I'm just going to keep going on the old revolving door and call up 25 year old Bill Baugher (.283, 16, 57 in AAA Richmond). Baugher doesn't look like he's going to stick in center but he's raking in the high minors and is the only outfielder on the prospect boards who was higher than AA as of this writing. He may be a tweener... or he may be Riggs' replacement in 1971.

August 10 - 16, 1970
We're into mid-August and all four divisions are within 5 games. Maybe things will un-tighten in the next two weeks but if not, man, there are going to be some crazy pennant races this year. The Indians, who ironically enough were the team in this group who, as of early May, looked like they were over, are the closest team to closing things out by September. Minnesota seems like it can't do anything right and, I mean, you can't blame Oakland for not stepping up harder given that they lost 108 games last year. Then you've got Chicago trying to hit their way into a title in spite of a horribly depleted pitching staff. And even in the NL West, where the Astros look like they could win 100 games, things are close because the Cincinnati Reds are the 2nd best team in the NL.
Too bad there aren't wild cards, because somebody's almost certain to wind up out of the playoffs with a better record than someone who made it in... Standings --------------- Code:

As depleted as Cleveland's bullpen has been, they were still willing to part with Mazyck, I guess, because Mazych hasn't been very good. Mazyck reportedly wants to start; he should get at least one spot start in Oakland today with Chris McGranahan (3-4, 4.72) tending to his chronically sore elbow. Cleveland it should be said seems to have an embarassment of riches at pitcher, at least when it comes to guys approximately as good or better than Mazyck. August 15 (should have been August 14 but WHATEVER): The Cardinals purchased SP Steve Guarino (6-4, 4.39 in 3 AAA locations) from the Senators for $1,500. Guarino was pretty good in late-season action with the Pilots last year but has had... mixed results in AAA in 1970. Guarino for now is seeing time in AA, which isn't ideal for a 28 year old but hey, maybe he'll do something... August 15 (also supposed to be yesterday): The A's purchased RP Andy Tudor (4-1, 2.42, 4 Sv) from the Reds for $1,250. The 28 year old Tudor is blocked in Cincinnati but maybe won't quite be so blocked in Oakland. This by the way is the equivalent of the fated Dooley Womack trade (okay, maybe not fated but I have an affinity for this guy based on his being transactionally tied to Jim Bouton). Tudor was never a member of the Pilots' organization, unfortunately. The A's minor league GM has Tudor in AA, which is not my favorite spot for a guy of his age, but he's going to try his hand at starting at least. News ----------------------- August 10: The Giants are the latest team to receive some catastrophic injury news as they learned that their stopper John "The Assassin" Booth (4-6, 2.50, 21 Sv) will miss the remainder of the season with the shoulder inflammation disease that is the COVID of 1970, I guess. At 59-53 the Giants are 11 games behind the Astros and it's probably about over for them this season. August 10: Speaking of catastrophic injuries to closers, the Indians found out that their own guy Elias Sanchez (0-2, 2.55, 5 Sv) will miss the remainder of the year with more shoulder inflammation. Jesus, 1970. For Cleveland, that's the 3rd closer they've had to put on the long-term DL, with Doug Ellis (2-2, 3.91, 2 Sv) still out until late September and Eric Godard (3-0, 2.27, 8 Sv) not expected back until the playoffs if at all. Joe Brda (2-0. 3.08) is the next man up. August 10: In more... amusing news, Dodgers SS Jason Staiti (.186, 9, 35), who is 34 and who also hit just .202 last season, wants his starting job back. I don't want him to become a distraction in the clubhouse so instead I'll free him up to find that starting job somewhere else (and more probably take up a new career) (although the way the minor league GMs snap up guys like this, I wouldn't be surprised if he wraps up the season in AAA somewhere). August 10: Cleveland LF Alonzo Huanosta (.349, 15, 71) racked up yet another reward in his career by nabbing the AL PotW honors. He went 14 for 32 (.438) with 3 dingers and 8 ribbies. Actually, that seems like kind of a tame output for Player of the Week, but he's relatively deserving, I guess. This was Alonzo's 6th career PotW and second this season. August 10: The NL counterpart is another corner outfielder, Pirates RF Brian Jackson (.336, 2, 75). He hit .448 (13 for 29) with LITERALLY HALF of his season HR output and 9 RBIs. Jackson has only won 2 such awards, both of them this year; this is kind of a breakout season for the 26 year old. August 10: The Mets drop one in extra innings to the Pirates, 3-2, and in doing fall to .500 on the year (56-56). It's a huge fall for a team that won 104 games last year (they've already lost more games than they did in 1969) and was 13 games over .500 as of the 31st of May (they split a doubleheader against the Astros that day but won the first game). I won't officially pack it in until they get loss #60 but they're close... August 12: The Astros are going to have to make do for the next month without 1B Justin Richens (.290, 16, 73) as he recovers from a strained PCL. Richens had been a key member of the Houston lineup after spending almost his entire career in Detroit, where he's still the team's lifetime leader in games played (2,141), hits (2,189), and homeruns (388). Yoshiaki Miyahara (.248, 7, 21), who joined the organization as an international free agent back in 1966 but who has never quite lived up to the hype surround him, has been called up to fill in. August 12: Now that I've broken everything else out, it seems like 90% of all news stories are injuries, but hey... Twins CF Jose Villasenor (.269, 10, 34) is out until mid-September with a strained groin he suffered sliding into second base in a 2-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers. Things are getting tighter and tighter for the Twinkies, who as of this writing are half a game behind the Cinderella A's team at 65 wins and 52 losses. August 12: Phillies SP Marius Gaddi (18-3, 2.28) gave up a grand slam homerun to Astros RF Jaden Weaver (.272, 35, 97) in the 10th inning to break his season-high 12 game winning streak. I still think Gaddi's very much in the driver's seat for the Cy Young Award in the National League... no, scratch that. Cincinnati Reds hurler Steve Waiters (20-2, 2.11) is currently in the lead in all of the pitchers' triple crown stats. August 13: I'd been thinking about whether or not to do this for a while but a month in to the conversion to 23, some of the league totals feel off and I now have enough data to try and manually recalc a bit. This is why you don't convert your leagues over in midseason, folks! Anyway, the results were interesting and not quite what I expected: Code:
h 2b 3b hr bb ibb hp so sh sf sb cs sbr diff 97% 94% 112% 111% 105% 147% 103% 92% 94% 120% 78% 84% 98% So I went ahead and made these adjustments, even though most of them pull the LTMs further from 1 (i.e. the game was already using a number higher than 1.000 as the LTM for homeruns). Hope I didn't just blow up the league! Interesting to note though that in 1970 the league averaged 0.9 HR/9, which is really close to what's being averaged this year (1.0) and not something the leagues averaged consistently until they expanded to Colorado in 1993. So... yeah, lots of HRs this season, way more than I thought. K rates, too, were... I wouldn't call them high, as 5.8/9IP is down from the 6.0 they hit in the 60s, but for whatever reason the league is about to stop striking out as much and this rate will be the high water mark until 1986. Walk rates, too, will be matched at 3.5/9IP in 1975 but won't get this high again until 1994. 1970 was kind of like an early Year of the Hitter, I guess, although leaguewide ERA is still only 3.88... August 13: I don't know how he does it but Houston SP Josh "Party in the Back" Mullett (12-9, 4.28) picked up a shutout today, blanking the Phillies 1-0 on 3 hits. This guy has a negative K/BB ratio this year (97/94), which is actually a lot better than what he did last year (97/145 in 237 IP, and those 145 walks led the National League). I mean, to a great extent he's not really "doing it": he's got an ERA well over 4 in spite of calling the Astrodome home, and I mean this was his first shutout. That said, he's also 2-1 with a 1.23 ERA in 3 starts and 22 innings as the 'Stros round the pennant stretch. He did, it should be said, have the highest groundout percentage in the NL last year, although he's average at best at allowing HRs (none allowed in August so far though). In any case, Mullett has walked 42 more men than he's struck out in a 3+ year career but in spite of that he has a 45 and 30 career record. This is one of these guys who I guess you just sit back and enjoy it because it doesn't make a lick of sense. August 13: I noticed that Cardinals SP Vince Bachler (6-9, 3.83) was the 9th overall pick in last yer's draft but has absolutely flown through the minors. He got promoted to the Cards this year after just 12 games total in the reserve leagues, which is pretty insane. I do have player development goosed up quite a bit but I also tend not to bring up guys with zero experience like this unless there's a very, very strong need... Anyway, I wanted to use this opportunity to see how the top 10 picks from the 1969 draft are doing: 1. OAK C Josh Lewis (.380, 11, 53 at AAA Iowa). This is more or less the first chance I've had to look at Lewis. He's tearing up AAA and the only reason he's not in the majors is that the A's are fairly well set at catcher - Jonathan Escobar (.252, 6, 46) is doing a fine job and was the 1969 Gold Glove award winner. Somehow Lewis is only the #2 prospect on the team behind SP Josh Haugen (3-2, 3.28 in AAA Iowa) but wherever he is, I'll surely use him somewhere in 1971. 2. WAS SP Scott Kinzer (0-1, 9.00 at A Burlington). Kinzer's been slowed down by injuries and to date is just 2-8, 4.84 combined in the minor leagues. The Senators can kind of wait for him to develop, as, well, they aren't very good. 3. HOU CF Henry Samson (.276, 3, 26 in AA Columbus). Samson's biggest issue right now is that I don't know that he profiles as a major-league CF. He lacks the power to play the corners so that could be an issue, although scouts insist he has A+ speed and will eventually be a .300 hitter. 5. NYY SS German Ybarra (.262, 6, 52 in AA Manchester). Ybarra looks a good long-term replacement for 37 year old Ty Stover (.265, 21, 71). I um, don't know how he wound up with the Yankees. I switch teams around manually and he was probably on a team who transferred from Pitt to NY. I chalk it up to a minor league move. Bad news for the Pirates, great news for the Yanks. 6. CHC CF Chance Cooper (.259, 7, 16 with the Cubs). Cooper slid into center when Mark Tooley (.275, 10, 33) and at least with the bat he's been pretty great. I don't think he profiles as a CF long-term though - his range is only a 55 - but I think he's hitting well enough to force him into a corner, if not this year than in 1971. 7. CIN CF Bobby Beaulieu (.270, 11, 57 at AAA Indianapolis). Another guy who is waiting in the wings for a really good and kind of stacked team, Beaulieu isn't quite destroying the minors the way you'd hope a guy to to bring him up, but then again he's still only 23. I'm very worried about that minor league K rate (101 strikeouts in 333 at-bats). 8. NYM SP Matt Owensby (5-8, 4.21 in AA Memphis). Owensby's only 20 but his peripherals are... I don't know. Pitchers evolve their stuff in OOTP a bit more than IRL but he's only striking out 4.9 guys per 9 innings in AA (he's actually just earned a promotion to Tidewater, which all I can say is, I have scouts set to 0/67/22/11 so I'm not sure they're going off of any hidden ratings power). Scouts project him to be a middle of the rotation starter, which seems a bit underwhelming for the 8th overall pick. 9. STL SP Vince Baechler (see above). 10. PHI CF Nick Hamburger (.235, 13, 63 in AA Reading). Another guy who's putting up kind of meh numbers but is very young for his league (Hamburger - love that name! - turns 23 in November). Hamburger has decent but not all-world range for a CF but his hitting profile is more of a corner guy (or an Andruw Jones type). Unlike Bobby Beaulieu, Hamburger's .235 average doesn't look like it's fueled by a high K rate. If he learns to take advantage of his plus speed, he might lose some power but gain a lot of average in return. August 14: Brewers 3B Mike Ramos (.277, 1, 5) expressed his frustration with his smallish role with Milwaukee. He missed basically all of last season with an injury - 9 games total - and wasn't in the Reds' plans when he returned, but this is a guy who was a pretty solid player for Cincy as recently as 1967 and I don't know, maybe he deserves PT somewhere. I'm going to drop him into first base to replace "Doctor" Jack Holman (.249, 6, 40), who now has almost 1000 major league at-bats to prove that he's basically replacement level. August 14: In a battle between the two most disappointing teams in the majors this year, the Atlanta Braves (57-61) sweep the New York Mets (56-61) in a double-header, 4-1 and 11-2. RF Henry Riggs (.281, 31, 83) went 6 for 8 with 2 HRs today, with 3B Vicente Luna (.327, 7, 23) adding a 5 for 8 performance of his own, including 1 HR. Atlanta is completely buried in the NL West but at this point they can at least, with a win tomorrow, console themselves with the fact that they've knocked the Mets completely out of playoff contention. The not-so-Amazin's have now lost 9 games in a row. August 14: I was looking at Giants SP Scott Morelli (2-3, 6.27) to see why he's been so bad (he got chased in the 5th today in a 7-4 loss to the Cardinals) and I just wanted to share these stats... to date, he's pitched 33 major league innings with a fantastic 18/2 K/W ratio. Also though he's give up 10 homeruns. Ten! He let hitters dial 1 followed by the area code 3 times today, including one each to NL leaders 1B Justin Stone (.298, 33, 82) and LF Lorenzo Martinez (.263, 34, 87). One thing is for sure: I can't ever let him play St. Louis again... August 15: I guess this was inevitable but Mets 3B Bob Baldwin (.256, 1, 8), who maybe should have known better when he joined a team that already had Nick Hawkinson (I've cited him like 10 places in this report), is unhappy about the playing time. I mean, if the Mets were winning he probably woudn't be so saucy. As it stands, dude's 35 and hit all of .267 this year. I won't cut him but might let him go find his fortunes elsewhere this offseason. August 15: Speaking of, literally the day after I benched him in favor of Danny Waters, 2B Nick Warren (also see below) is complaining that he should be starting. Come on, man. Warren at least has a shot at being good next year and is only 31 but dude's also OBPed .259 this season. Nah, sorry Nick but you've had your chance. August 15: Senators SP DJ Marrone (3-10, 4.82) and White Sox SS Justin Henderson (.232, 5, 44) were suspended by the league for 9 and 4 games respectively for fighting (is it 10 and 5 but the game considers the current game part of the suspension? Those are weird lengths). I was today years old when I discovered I could use the restricted list in this league. I've generally been wary of such things because when you control 24 teams at a time you tend to forget about people on random lists. It says they can only be on it for the length of the suspension though so hopefully I'll get a message... Teams In Review ----------------- August 11: The Baltimore Orioles dropped both ends of a doubleheader on Sunday to fall to 52-61 so it's only now that I get to take a deeper dive into what they're doing... Code:
Team Name W L % STR GB R HR AVG SB ERA HR/9 BB/9 K/9 PCT ZR Att Baltimore Orioles 52 61 .460 L5 16 444 102 .234 80 3.67 0.7 3.5 4.7 .978 28.1 953,761 Rotation: The first thing I see is that this team's farm system is kind of awful, at least on the pitching side of things. They're 14th in the OSA ratings (well, at the beginning of the year anyway) but both of the top 100 pitching prospects on that list are still stuck in A ball (and one of them is out for a month). In AAA there are literally zero starters with an ERA under 4 or with the green arrow. Point being, there's just not anything to call up. All of which is to say, this is why I'm not changing things even though 3/5ths of the rotation is 33 or older. Bullpen: Man, I really, really wanted to move things around here. There just isn't anyone to call up. For the sake of making changes I'm going to DFA 33 year old Sung-jin Lee (2-2, 3.10), who isn't even doing that badly although he has a K/W ratio of 29/21 in 49.1 innings so he's not exactly gangbusters out there, so that I can call up 23 year old Dermott Albertson (7-4, 3.65 in AAA Rochester). At least Albertson stands to be a member of the next good Orioles team. Infield: I'm moving C Tanner DiGirolamo (.320, 0, 5) into a larger role in the platoon with Robert Keith (.174, 3, 20). DiGirolamo's arm is kind of bad, as bad as Jon Hernandez' (.237, 12, 52), who was moved to catcher because of that, but Keith is hitting like a pitcher and Tanner (guhh) is 22 and could get better. 2B Danny Fager (.257, 6, 24) led the league in hitting in 1967, albeit with a .302 average, but he's way off his career totals. He's still a plus fielder though and as with the entire pitching staff there's nobody ready to move up. Their top rated guy is Juan Baldiera (.452, 2, 10 in AA Dallas), so there's that for the future, at least, but he's got all of 31 at-bats above A ball so I'm going to pass for now. SS John "Lucky Number" Blevins (.241, 7, 32) is a classic good-field, no-hit shortstop who'd be exactly the kind of guy I'd replace given the way this team is going but he's having a career year(!) and he's a really good fielder(!!) and TBH I think he's my favorite Oriole (granted, due mainly to the name) (!!!) so I'm leaving him in. Outfield: RF Matt Nugent (.207, 10, 35) has all the problems that like 80% of this team has - he strikes out too much, isn't hitting, and even though he does a pretty decent job of drawing walks he's not getting on base at all. For now I'm pushing him down to a platoon with 32 year old minor league veteran Jason Seidenberger (.158, 0, 0 in 19 at-bats) and see if that gets his confidence up. Long-term, once again the best-looking replacements are in the low minors. August 13: The Chicago White Sox have been scraping and scrapping their way back into semi-contention in the AL West but a couple of tough losses put them at the 60 loss mark (58-60) and so it's time to take a look-see. Code:
Team Name W L % STR GB R HR AVG SB ERA HR/9 BB/9 K/9 PCT ZR Att Chicago White Sox 58 60 .492 L2 8 503 86 .257 51 4.03 1.1 3.5 6.1 .983 -10.2 900,991 Rotation: Not making any changes, mainly because I've already made the main one, which was dropping Gene Lueders (4-9, 5.16) out of it. In fact, given how many good players there are in the minors I'm going to send him down so that he can get quality innings instead of hanging around in long relief. Bullpen: Likewise (and other than Lueders) the bullpen has been... OK. Malcolm Post (5-8, 3.26, 12 Sv) has been kind of volatile as a closer and Ben Lamar (1-1, 1.98, 7 Sv) was really effective when he was out earlier in the season so I think I'm going to make him the #1 guy for now. It's a little bit of a Hail Mary for the team to turn to a 23 year old kid, but hey, this is a Hail Mary situation. Infield: I'm not really sure what I was ever thinking giving 1B Josh Lewis (.237, 10, 51) his old job back after taking it away for much of 1969. I guess the average fooled me (he hit .301 last year). Anyway, Willie Vargas (.330, 6, 52) has this job back for good now. He's not a very good fielder at first base but then, he's not a very good left fielder either, and if we're going to stash that glove somewhere it may as well be here. Long-term, he's waaay too fast to be that bad in the field but he's kind of a jerk so I guess it is what it is. For now, too, I'm moving him up to leadoff and dropping RF Josh Wade (.319, 6, 50) into the 3 hole. I'd been batting Wade leadoff but his lack of speed was just causing GIDPs for the hitters behind him. 3B Omar Dominguez (.224, 4, 22) has pretty well proven that he can't hit. I was using him to spell the 39 year old Jordan Wooten (.252, 9, 29) but we're heading down the stretch and I think it's time to just plain take the risk that Wooten can hold up for 40-some games. Outfield: I'm only making a relatively subtle change here, making the CF situation into more of a half and half platoon between Eric Weyenberg (.215, 0, 5) and Ryan Clements (.244, 2, 4). Neither player is exactly hitting up a storm and long-term Weyenberg's got the better chance of sticking given that he's 23 and a (slightly) better fielder, but for now I think it serves the team best to have two equal heads sharing time (previously Weyenberg was getting the lion's share of starts). August 14: It's been a long season for the Detroit Tigers but it's gotten... less long? lately. They're actually 10-4 this month and 15-4 dating back to July 26. Granted, they had a 6 game losing streak right before that. They've been pretty much out of the playoffs since, jeez, the beginning of the season I guess, but they've been kind of coming around as of late. (oops, forgot the team stats! These are a couple days late) Code:
Team Name W L % STR GB R HR AVG SB ERA HR/9 BB/9 K/9 PCT ZR Att Detroit Tigers 57 60 .487 W1 13½ 473 96 .261 61 3.90 0.9 3.9 7.1 .986 25.1 786,398 Bullpen: There are a lot of really iffy players in this bullpen and now is as good a time as any to bring in younger iffy players. First on my cut list is Gus Abeyta (1-1, 4.50), who, I will grant you, has got a great name but he's 35 and his control is awful. The new Abeyta is 29 year old German national Niklas Krug (7-0, 1.81 in AAA Toledo), who's been kicking around between AA and AAA since 1964 but perhaps has put it all together this year. Ben Schmidt (6-6, 4.50) has also not had great results but I think I'll stick with him for now because hes got pretty electric stuff (8 K/9) and should be fine on the road. He did lead the NL in homers allowed last year (34) as a starter for the Expos so taters are an issue (he's also allowed 20 in 104 innings for the Tigers this season). Infield: Really, at this point I'm just playing 1B Jose Ayala (.256, 13, 50) every day in the hopes that he'll hit .300 again like he did with the Tigers last year. His history indicates that that might be slightly ambitious, although his .285 career average is still 30 points higher than where he's at right now. He's also only 29 and has made the All-Star Game twice in his relatively young career so I don't think it's time to cut bait at all. Still, Ryan Stokes (.319, 9, 53) has hit well enough to get a call-up and eat some time vs. righties and also do some pinch-hitting. 2B Alex Ortega (.254, 0, 7) has had a fine career but I think the team has better uses for that roster spot than a 38 year old righty pinch-hitter who can't play in the field. Bye, Alex! You'll be missed. 3B David Salinas' (.265, 2, 16) ability to hit seems to have left him. He used to be a guy who could hit .320 for you with some amount of doubles power. Now he's a .260ish hitter who gets nothing but singles. He's unlikely to get that stroke back at 35 years of age. Of course, that's why I tried John Daughtry in there to replace him and that failed. As a result, I'll just live with Salinas for the rest of the year. Ivan Hernandez (.265, 16, 34 with AAA Toledo) has hit a whole bunch of homeruns in just 181 at-bats for the minor league Mud Hens and I think he'll be a good choice to challenge Salinas next year. For now, I'll just stick with Tim Reynolds (.071, 0, 0) given that the Tigers just purchased him like 12 days ago. Outfield: LF Adam Dittmar (.221, 10, 31) is hitting .361 in August and is making me rethink my rethinking his role on this team. Chris Contreras (.319, 5, 31) is back in 3 days... I think Dittmar has to move to the bench but I think he also has to be a super-sub. If he doesn't suck then the Tigers have too many good outfielders for the number of OF positions, which isn't the worst problem in the world to have. August 14: It just hasn't been the New York Mets' season in 1970. They opened up out of the gate pretty strong but they're just 4-11 so far in August. Is it time to cry "Uncle"? I feel like, as far back as they are, they jus can't do that to their fans just yet, but we'll see... Code:
Team Name W L % STR GB R HR AVG SB ERA HR/9 BB/9 K/9 PCT ZR Att New York Mets 56 60 .483 L8 11 468 80 .238 35 3.69 0.9 3.8 6.6 .978 -0.2 1,203,980 Rotation: I've already slightly bailed on this team, at least in terms of who they offer out of the rotation, as Julio Sandoval (6-11, 4.03) was sent packing to the Braves for cash a month ago. I've gone ahead and pushed this team's rotation out to 5 guys, probably for the rest of the season; there's no point in overworking the front half of the rotation at this point. That means that for now both Vinny Chavez (1-3, 5.10) and David McNicholas (4-7, 6.13) will see time as starters. I'm not super keen on either player at this point though. Bullpen: The major change here was foisted upon me, with setup man Steve Hollopeter (2-3, 2.69) out for a month with a strained forearm. That means that two 23 year olds - RH Mark Seitz (1-1, 0.96, 4 Sv at AAA Tidewater) and LH Nate Khoury (1-2, 1.75, 6 Sv at AA Memphis) are now in a somewhat expanded bullpen. I said I wouldn't make major changes! Infield: Nick Warren (.222, 4, 34) has been just plain awful this year after a good-enough run as the starting second baseman last year, coming from the Expos in a trade involving a big pack of minor leaguers that's undoubtedly going to look really awful in a couple years. That said, there's no use chasing good money after bad so I'll use the last couple months of the year to give UT Danny Waters (.288, 4, 22 at AA Memphis) a shot against big league pitching. Perhaps more importantly for the long term is whether or not he'll be adequate at second. He's got decent range but is pretty bad on the pivot so I guess we'll see. He does have a gun for an arm so perhaps he'll take over for the aging Nick Hawkinson (.241, 6, 26, but also a .364 OBP). Outfield: Annoyingly the minor league GM decided to stock the outfield organization with a bunch of 33 year olds (seriously I just cut like 10 guys who were all 30+, all outfielders, and all in AA or lower... the Memphis Blues still have an OF with 2 guys under 30 but at this point any further cuts look like they'd leave the lower minors undermanned). That means that as bad as 34 year old Adam Greenlee (.200, 0, 6) has been as a 5th OF/pinch-hitter, there's really nobody on the farm who looks better. Out of necessity, OF Jimmy Washington (.262, 10, 69) is moving from left to right to accommodate 37 year old Mario Diaz (.278, 1, 13), who is the only guy left on the bench who looks like he can hit. The other odd man out is Edgar Arriaga (.224, 10, 34). He's still getting some PT but last year's 27 HR performance looks like a one-off to me.

News ----------------------- August 17: The Russians launch Venera VII, which will become the first spacecraft to successfully transmit data from another planet. That planet? Venus. August 17: In the AL, oldies can still be goodies for a week! That was an absolutely terrible intro. I am only moving forward because I want to embrace the stupidity. Also, the winner was a Yankee and the Yankees do not deserve good things. Anyhow, the AL PotW was 37 year old 1B Alex Cardenas (.312, 24, 69), who achieved the gamer number in RBIs by going .458 (11-24) with 4 runs and a whopping 5 RBIs. I'm told that Cardenas specifically whiffed in runners on base situations so that he'd make me put up the gamer number this week. August 17: In the NL, the Player of the Week was also a 1B, Philadelphia's Josh Coffey (.333, 11, 63), who blistered the baseballs to a .542 tune (13-24) with 2 HRs and 5 RBIs. Wow, not a big RBI week for either winner. If you've been reading closely, you'll notice that this was Coffey's 2nd such award in 3 weeks. August 17: Rain delay? No problem. Three Phillies pitchers combined to shut out the Reds in a 1-0 thriller at Riverfront Stadium. Roger Quintana (9-10, 3.62) allowed just one hit in 6 innings and looked like he was cruising before the Cincinnati skies opened up in the bottom of the 7th. No worries, though, as Luis de la Cruz (5-6, 4.58) and Tom Grohs (6-2, 2.69, 14 Sv) kept the good times rolling for Philadelphia. "I just wanted to get the game over with so I could get some McDonald's", said Grohs after the game. "Now go away so I can do that. Grohsy wants a Big Mac." August 18: The US dumps 418 containers of nerve gas into the Gulf Stream near the Bahamas. This won't be noticed for years but I think it gets you into the mindset of the early 70s. August 18: The San Francisco Giants, who were 57-40 and 3 games in back of the Astros in the NL West as of July 27, dropped to 60-61 today with a 6-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. I know I've seen teams play this poorly in the past, but never a team that was basically contending as of late July. One thing to note is that the long, long schedule might be getting to them: so far in August they've played 20 games in 18 days. That said, you mostly assume that it's the pitching that would wear down. While the Giants' pitching has not been fabulous - a 4.61 ERA since August 1, 2nd worst in the NL (to the Mets' 4.89, speaking of teams who are falling apart) - it's the hitting that's killing them. The Giants have scored just 46 runs this month, which is not only dead last in the senior circuit but 17 worse than the next worse team (the Mets again with 63) thanks to a triple-slash of 227/282/299. That's also dead last in all of baseball - the Washington Senators are worst in the AL with 56 runs scored so far (and, to be fair, a pretty fine 3.12 ERA). Deadball era numbers. If I employed managers (and I might name some to start next season), someone would be fired for sure. August 19: You hate to see it. Royals closer Chad Nies (4-2, 5.59, 11 Sv), who'd struggled all season long between three teams, finally got his shoulder checked out and it looks like he'd been pitching through a torn labrum all this time. Unfortunately, he appears to have injured it so badly through all the work that doctors say he'll never be able to pitch again. Nies ends his career with a 43-31 record and 86 saves, including a league-leading 31 last season (he also led the league in games pitched with 76). It was looking like he might have been starting to turn things around in KC, although the ERA doesn't show it (7.17 but with 23 Ks in 21.1 innings; somehow he still gave up 28 hits for a .308 opponents' batting average). August 19: The Twins, who are already fading fast, will now have to make do without 2B Daniel Gilmet (.291, 5, 33) for the rest of the season and probably the playoffs as well. Gilmet hurt his groinal area sliding into second in a late rally that just fell short against the Orioles. Baltimore wound up winning this one 3-2 behind Montay Luiso's (7-4, 1.93) major league leading 24th save, not to mention 7 solid innings from David Torres (3-4, 4.75). August 19: The Giants are finding new ways to lose. Today it was bad pitching, as starter Bill Wilson (2-4, 4.26) couldn't make it out of the 5th inning in a 10-4 blowout loss to the Pirates. The loss is San Francisco's ninth straight and extends their horrible August to 3 wins and 18 losses. 43 year old Ryan Colvin (.279, 6, 26), who announced he'd be retiring earlier this year, was the Player of the Game with 3 hits in 5 at-bats, 5 RBIs, and a homerun in the 5th that helped chase Wilson. August 19: Raul Andrade (2-9, 4.94) had just about the worst game in relief I think I've ever seen. Coming on in the bottom of the 11th to save a 5-4 lead, Andrade pitched to 6 batters, walking 5 of them and getting his one and only out on a 3-2 strikeout that the game said was out of the zone. Like, sure, I've seen guys get completely bombed with homeruns and hits and all that, but 5 walks in 6 batters is a whole new kind of bad. Andrade incidentally was 11-12 and 2.70 with the White Sox in 1968, then missed all of last season with a torn flexor tendon in his elbow, and since coming back this year he's allowed 5.6 walks per nine innings. August 20: Josh Matthews (19-5, 2.78) of the Indians outdueled the Brewers' Chris Olivares (7-8, 3.87) in an 11-inning thriller, 3-2. Olivares scrapped his way through this one and only allowed that final run on a sacrifice fly to C Jonathan House (.265, 8, 37) with 1 out and Matthews himself on deck in the final frame. For his part, Matthews struck out 11 Brewers in 11 innings to earn the win. August 20: Yankees 2B Ty Stover (.267, 25, 81) cracked a 3-run homerun in the 7th to cap a 5-run rally and lead his team over the White Sox, 8-6. This was the 4th straight game where Stover homered. Is that a record? Probably not but I have no idea (the real-life record is I think 9 games because I remember Ken Griffey Jr. chasing after it in the 90s). August 21: The Giants' losing streak reaches 10 games as the Cubs' Scott Coffey (7-5, 3.76), a 28 year old rookie with 11 major league appearances prior to 1970, shuts them out on 8 hits in Candlestick Park. Mike Stuckey (13-12, 2.92) took the tough loss for the Jints. San Francisco's August record is now 3-19. August 22: Angels RF Jon Berry (.228, 3, 17) will miss the remainder of the season with a torn abdominal muscle. This is almost an addition by subtraction move as it allows California to use Barney Leriche (.307, 12, 26) in that spot for the rest of the year. Leriche's 12 homers have come in just 140 at-bats and it'll be interesting to see if he can collect even more of them in a more regular role in the lineup. August 22: Speaking of the Angels... SP Aidan Williams (11-5, 3.52) tied the AL record with 16 Ks but had to take 12 innings to do it as his team struggled to score runs all evening long against the Baltimore Orioles. Well, okay, that is until the top of the 13th when they erupted for 7 runs en route to a 9-3 win. I won't mention how many pitches Williams threw. It will just make you sad. He's not really even a power pitcher, averaging 5.8 K/9 after that performance. August 22: The Phillies' 3B Alex Becerra (.233, 22, 67) belted a walk-off grand slam homerun off Astros' closer John Douglas (2-11, 4.20, 24 Sv) to send the fans home happy in a 6-2 win. The Phillies are 39-20 at home, the best record in the NL and 2nd in major league baseball only to the New York Yankees, who are 41-19 in Yankee Stadium. August 23: The Indians take 19 innings to knock off the Brewers 8-7 in the longest game of the season. Tied 6-6 at the end of regulation, both teams' bullpens turned into the second coming of Cy Young. In the 15th it looked like it was about to be over when CF Fernando Ceballos (.213, 1, 13) hit a double to score Dylan Dockery with his only hit of the night (Ceballos was 1 for 9 tonight), but the Tribe came back in the bottom of the inning to pull a squeeze play to tie it back up. And there it sat for 4 more dreary innings until the Indians finally got to a tiring Deshawn Maczyck (1-2, 3.32) to put a run over on a C Jordan Zimmerman (.185, 1, 12) sacrifice fly. Cleveland thankfully gets a day off tomorrow before facing off against the Twins. August 23: The Giants finally break their 11 game losing streak by downing the Cubs in San Francisco, 4-2. Dan Ballard (7-11, 4.34) gave his team 7 strong innings before yielding to Cesar Paucar (1-0, 2.34) and Henry Roman (4-0, 2.34, 4 Sv). "It was a real load off all our backs", said Ballard after the game. "I know the boys have been pressing a little and I was glad I could do my part to help break the slump." Teams In Review ----------------- August 18: The San Francisco Giants.. Wow, the San Francisco Giants. Code:
Team Name W L % STR GB R HR AVG SB ERA HR/9 BB/9 K/9 PCT ZR Att San Francisco Giants 60 60 .500 L7 15½ 493 77 .260 56 3.37 1.0 2.9 6.5 .980 21.8 982,450 Rotation: My first order of business is to stick longtime Mexican League veteran Bill Wilson (2-3, 3.30) because why not? Otherwise, this team has kind of gutted itself so far when it comes to the rotation, trading Roy Holm (9-11, 3.94) to the Yankees for Dan Ballard (6-11, 4.43 but 3-3, 3.00 with SF) and David Camaco (7-6, 2.73) to the Mets in the offseason in the Nick Hawkinson deal. Those look like they're both working out fairly well, to be honest, and I'll try not to let my horror over this recent slide extend to them. One guy I'm not so hot on is LHP Sam Williams (7-8, 4.94) but I don't really see anyone on the farm ready to compete with him. Bullpen: Former Padres expansioner (that's a word, right?) Henry Roman (4-0, 2.30, 1 Sv) has assumed the stopper mantle with the season-ending injury to the Assassin, but behind him the other 4 guys have a grand total of 71.1 innings pitched this year between all of them. I might look at 26 year old Dave Morales (no record in AAA) eventually; he appars to have been a formerly hot prospect whose career was derailed by a series of injuries, the worst one being a torn labrum that's kept him out from August of last year to just now. September, maybe... Infield: As catching situations go, I think the Giants have pretty much lucked out with Chris Campbell (.252, 4, 28). He's nothing special at the plate but he handles pitchers well and makes up for a lack of power with a good walk rate. I can't imagine he's part of the long-term future but he's already more than asked for and it feels bad to pull one of the few decent performers out of the lineup. 2B Bill Heyen (.267, 0, 31) has lengthened his swing this year in an attempt to get more power but all he's gotten out of it are a lot more strikeouts. He's already set a career high with 75 of them and is on pace to K 100 times. He may not reach that pace if I sit him in September... but then, the guy's 26, he's shown gap power in the past, and is a keen fielder who's a beast at turning the double play. I've turned to Ben Dowler (.225, 0, 2) at shortstop primarily because he's not almost 40 years old. That's barely a criterion for your shortstop. I don't see anyone in the minors who looks like they're close to ready and at least Dowler can handle the glove well. This is definitely a place where we can improve in the offseason. Outfield: LF John Everhart (.278, 16, 56) has pretty well shut lately, hitting just .210 with 4 extra base hits (2 HRs) in 69 at-bats since returning from an injury at the beginning of July. Yes, his return coincides with the team's dive; no, it's not his fault, and also he's the best hitter on this team. August 20: The California Angels needed to be red hot to really get back into the AL West race and they've been pretty mediocre in August, carrying a 9-10 record. So here we are... Code:
Team Name W L % STR GB R HR AVG SB ERA HR/9 BB/9 K/9 PCT ZR Att California Angels 62 60 .508 L1 4 533 96 .267 92 3.57 0.7 3.4 4.3 .979 41.8 816,663 Rotation: I kind of want to pull out the 34 year old finesse pitcher Dustin Beaulieu (10-11, 4.35) from the rotation but he's been... fine as a back of the rotation guy you can rely on to eat innings. Not everyone can strike people out. They do have 24 year old Gary Bruno (10-6, 3.04) waiting in the wings / ready to go should Cal switch back to the 5 man rotation. Dustin is really the only shaky member of the rotation, honestly. Bullpen: Stopper Bubba Touchton (8-4, 3.27, 6 Sv) gets results almost in spite of himself - he's got just a 36/34 K/BB ratio - but here, too, I think he has to stick where he is until he somehow forces the issue. It could be worse - last year's big save guy, Victor Reyes, is currently playing himself out of the league in Kansas City (1-3, 7.20, 1 Sv). All in all, though, the Angels' bullpen is... fine. They could use a situational lefty but they're in a pretty good position. Infield: The Angels' issues at catcher have led them to drop Javier Tamez (.049, 0, 2) down to AAA and call up 28 year old journeyman Ryan Thaxton (.275, 2, 28), who at least looks like he might hit. The Angels were hoping Mike Perez (.169, 12, 36) could consolidate his breakout 1969 (.234, 27, 75) but the pressure has made him swing and miss at pitches even more than he used to, and that was already a lot of swings and misses. August 21: To the surprise of nobody, the Montreal Expos are now 2 games away from clinching a second straight losing season. Code:
Team Name W L % STR GB R HR AVG SB ERA HR/9 BB/9 K/9 PCT ZR Att Montreal Expos 43 80 .350 L4 28½ 439 118 .243 17 4.66 1.0 4.6 5.6 .978 -13.6 922,543 Rotation: Phil Farr (1-11, 3.66) got dropped back into the rotation almost as a necessity. He's probably the team's most consistent starter, although he does seem to be consistently just good enough to lose a lot of games. He's also 34, which is why he got pulled from the rotation in the first place and why I'd consider moving him now. I think that overall I've already done most of the changes I want to make to the pitching staff incrementally though. Bullpen: I already went ahead and promoted Ernesto Hernandez (0-0, 3.68, 1 Sv) to the primary "stopper" role, which in Montreal really comes down to the "main guy out of the bullpen" role. The old guy Trevor Munro (2-5, 5.29, 13 Sv) was being kind of awful and I didn't want to have a 5+ ERA guy rack up 70 appearances if I could help it. I guess he could still do that, although the final 14-odd appearances he needs would at least be in lower leveral situations. Infield: Brent Putnam (.176, 6, 22) was the Cubs' starter last year and a 3-time All Star. That said, he looks like he's suddenly fallen off a cliff this year at the ripe old age of 34. I don't think Roberto Carranco (.241, 7, 21) has a lot going on himself but at least he can kind of hit, and he's 28 so "just entering his prime" (side note: after reading through those Scouting Reports, I'm reminded of the fact that until the sabermetrics revolution a ballplayer's prime was considered to be their early 30s. I'm trying to talk my way into that paradigm now). Adri van Zanten (.257, 10, 38) is, I feel, just the kind of bad player a bad expansion team uses for too long. His primary stats look fine but he also OBPs .303 and is a bad defender at second base. In a word, he's Yuniesky Betancourt, although there too Yuni played shortstop. He has that "sparkplug" personality type instead of being considered lackadaisical, which makes the bad fielding all the more problematic. Anyway, lots of words to say that he's going to continue to start; hell, I wouldn't be surprised if he continues to start for this team for the next 5 years. Outfield: RF Gabe Martinez (.255, 1, 18) led the International League in hitting last year with a .355 average but other than a .333 April has shown none of that capacity in the majors and what's more, he's also showed why the Mets never considered him a major part of their roster even though they're pretty thin at the position right now. Martinez is just not a good fielder and he's especially exposed in right, where his arm would be only around average if he played in left. Still, the minor league being as bare as it is, I don't see anyone knocking down the doors to take his place so he probably gets another month and a half to show if he's a potential .300 hitter or not.

The Cubs have all but wrapped up the NL West, having a 95.2% chance to win the division. Whatever pitching issues they had early in the year... well, they still have them, but having the #1 ranked offense in all of baseball helps. And finally, the Reds and Astros are also a coin-flip, with the Reds having a tiny advantage (53.6%) thanks to the half-game advantage in the standings and the fact that they have 3 fewer games left to play.

Kahl is one of those "2 way" guys that 22 created a million of if you let it. I didn't realize I had the option turned on... anyway, he's also a finesse pitcher who didn't strike anyone out in 19 starts in the majors this season. Presumably he'll get more chances in San Diego. TBH I didn't see this move coming and was considering selling Kahl to the *** so here at least he'll get to keep going in the majors. News ----------------------- August 24: Dodgers CF Danny Hohman (no line in 1969), who suffered a season-ending torn PCL in March, just got some terrible news. He tried to avoid surgery and rehab it on its own but it never felt right and now he's going to have to undergo that surgery at all. Hohman, a 3-time All-Star, figures to miss all of next season now if he comes back at all. August 24: Another week, another Yankee is selected as the best player. This time around it's SS Ty Stover (.272, 25, 82) who went 9-22 (.409) with 4 dingers and 9 RBIs to get his 10th such honor. He's also just 4 homers off from 400. Maybe he'll get those this week! August 24: For the NL, it's... a Phillie just like last week as well. This time around it's 2nd year starter LF Paul Stewart (.299, 12, 56). Stewart was 14-29 (.483) and also collected 2 homers and 5 RBIs, although the hits alone were probably enough. This was the first Player of the Week of Stewart's young career. August 24: Phillies 3B Pedro Arellano (.190, 3, 14) isn't hitting worth a crap, has never had more than 290 at-bats in a season, and has a clearly better player in front of him in Alex Becerra (.233, 22, 67). That isn't stopping him from demanding a slot in the lineup. Also the Phillies are 4 games out of first in the NL East and in no position to play around with lineups. I'm not in complete disagreement that Becerra, who has 26 errors and a .901 fielding average this year, should probably get moved off of first in the near future, but not now and not in favor of Arellano. For now, I'll stick him on the trading block, although to be honest I'll probably just let him find his fortune at the end of the year. August 25: In Minnesota, a bomb scare delays the game for 43 minutes in the 4th inning (not really in-game, but this happened IRL and, hey, flavor). August 25: Rookie White Sox CF Ryan Clements (.262, 3, 8) belted a walkoff homerun in the bottom of the 10th to improve Chicago's record to 62-68. In doing so, Clements ended a great pitching matchup between winner Raul Mendoza (10-13, 3.92) and the Senators' Kevin Freeman (8-12, 3.44), who we last saw when he threw a no-hitter on July 30. Since then, Freeman is 0-3, albeit with a 3.55 ERA and 2 no-decisions in 5 starts. Washington is not known for its offense... August 27: The Reds' Joe Hagan (16-11, 4.59) pitches seven strong innings to lead Cincinnati to a 4-2 win over Philadelphia and, combined with an Astros loss, move them to within a half game of the NL West division lead. The Reds were down 2-1 going into the top of the 8th but got to Phillies closer Tom Grohs (7-5, 2.93, 15 Sv) for 3 runs. The capper was an RBI double by backup catcher John Kohut (.248, 2, 14). The Reds and Astros will face each other in 2 series in September: a mid-week 2 gamer in Houston on the 15th and 16th and a Monday-Wednesday matchup in Cincinnati the following week (21st-23rd). Houston has won 9 of 13 games between the two clubs to date. August 28: The old man can still bring it. Senators 1B John Skelton went 5 for 10 with 2 HR and 5 RBI in a doubleheader vs the Royals. Washington as a whole scored 20 runs in the two games but could only emerge with a split after RP Ron Shepherd (2-4, 2.81) melted down in the 9th inning of the first game. The Senators have the 3rd worst offense in all of baseball. August 28: Giants CF Danny "The Phantom" Seligman (.285, 5, 39), who might as well be called the Phantom of the Disabled List with all the time he spends there, will miss the remainder of the season with a sprained ankle. He was performing for San Francisco so I don't want to call this a net positive, but the team has, of course, been floundering this month and now they get another extended look at 24 year old OF Will Hartmann (.312, 4, 35). August 28: The Reds move ahead of the Astros for the first time this season thanks to a 15-0 blowout of the Expos. Bullet Bill Vanover (8-6, 3.38) picked up the easy peasy lemon-squeezy victory, which was also punctuated by 2 homeruns by LF Junior Cannon (.277, 21, 81), who is now just 4 dingers off from what he did in that humongous half-season in 1969. August 30: There was a small chance that Cardinals C John Stuart (.222, 2, 15) was going to come back by the very end of the year but it's pretty well gone now, as it was reported that his fractured ankle hasn't been healing right. He should be ready for spring training, where the Cards can see whether or not he lost his power stroke this season because he was playing hurt. August 30: Tracy Mosher (20-10, 2.35) picked a great time to pick up his 20th win, as the victory coupled with a Cleveland loss to the Angels puts them into a tie atop the AL East with identical 79-53 records. Mosher struggled somewhat, giving up 2 homeruns in 7 innings, but still left in the 8th with a quality start and a 6-3 lead that their stopper Jesse Kelly (9-3, 2.78, 20 Sv) held against the Oakland A's. The Yankees won 3 out of 4 against Oakland and will now face the Tribe 6 times over the next two weeks. August 30: Speaking of 20 game winners, Steve Waiters (23-3, 2.21) earned his latest with a 2-0 shutout of the Expos. In any other season his 7 shutouts would be the thing to talk about; this year, Indians ace Justin Kindberg (18-10, 2.43) has already set the major league record with 9, which also means that with just one more he'll become the first player in modern history to get double digits in the category. Anyway, back to Waiters: he needs 3 wins to tie the modern record of 26 set by Jeff Borden in 1955, and he's already shattered the old Reds record for wins, which was the 20 Luis Benavides collected back in 1956. Teams In Review ----------------- August 29: Well, it was only inevitable... the Oakland Athletics, somehow only 4 games in back of the Twins in the NL West, but fading. Code:
Team Name W L % STR GB R HR AVG SB ERA HR/9 BB/9 K/9 PCT ZR Att Oakland Athletics 68 60 .531 L4 4 537 104 .260 35 3.66 0.9 3.9 6.8 .981 -11.6 847,475 Rotation: The A's have a 4 man rotation right now but all 4 of their starters are basically 4th and 5th men. Ryan O'Neal (6-6, 4.71) is the odd man out in favor of Mike Harris (3-4, 3.75) but nobody is super great here and right now it's more a matter of "get there with what got you this far" than anything else. Bullpen: There's also not really a lot to do here, I don't think. Josh Howard (4-3, 4.48, 3 Sv) has been pretty rocky since coming to Oakland from Milwaukee but he's still getting a lot of swings and misses from a devastating changeup so I don't raelly want to do much with thim. Currently they have a 6 man bullpen, which is a bit much for 1970. I ran this due to a recent double-header and reserve the right to send someone down (probably Nate Dolezal (0-0, 0.00)) when I need the extra bat. Infield: Jeff Culliton (.220, 0. 6) has been a huge disappointment after being a pretty solid pinch-hitter for the A's last year. Now he seems like a bog standard backup catcher and isn't a positive influence in the clubhouse. I'm not making a decision yet but he may not be around next year. I've been waffling around at second base between Rich Potter (.222, 0, 16), Ruben Molina (.250, 0, 10), and Chris Moore (.231, 9, 35), and... okay, fine, the power of Moore is the deal-maker. Moore actually made the All-Star Game this year but he's hit .159 for the month of August so he doesn't look so starry anymore. FINE, game. I will leave Moore in there. Shortstop has been a similar mess all year but Matt Evenson (.219, 0, 7) is the best gloveman on the roster (not that he's all that good - he's still -3.7 in ZR in 38 starts) so he'll continue to stay in there. Also he's young (24) so it's kind of like I'm giving the youth a shot. Outfield: Matt Levario (.255, 20, 52) has really come down right when the A's have needed him the most. He's hitting just .191 this month. It's not going to bad enough to bench him... unless the A's do what their Bay Area counterparts have just been wrapping up doing, but at 37 he's not giving me a lot of reason to hand him the job in left in 1971. Jordan Henricks (.229, 0, 11) has been pretty bad in right. He's not a very good fielder either. I'm still going to do nothing and remind myself that he's only keeping the spot warm for Richard Berman (.308, 2, 44), who is nursing a fractured hand but should be back in 2-3 weeks. August 30: The Milwaukee Brewers are, well, not good, but hey, they aren't the worst team in baseball either! And 18 of their last 30 games are against the A's, Twins, and Angels, so they'll have lots of chances to play the spoiler role this year. I mean, more probably they'll get doormatted by all three teams but we'll see! Code:
Team Name W L % STR GB R HR AVG SB ERA HR/9 BB/9 K/9 PCT ZR Att Milwaukee Brewers 52 80 .394 W1 22 477 71 .242 68 4.24 0.8 3.3 5.3 .977 -33.5 1,157,460 Rotation: Chris McGranahan (7-11, 4.32) has started more games this year than in any season since his All-Star season of 1964, which, you know, good for him, but he's been really, really bad with Milwaukee (3-5, 5.76 since coming over from Oakland). He's hurt right now so I don't really have to decide on him; anyway he'll probably get a full-on chance next year anyway since he has at least some track record of success. The staff "ace" at this point, arguably, is a guy who went 4-16 last year, but I've already brought up the guy who looks major league ready in Alex Izquierdo (1-3, 3.59) so there's just not much to do. Bullpen: Milwaukee has the makings of a decent bullpen and it's not too old either - nobody's over 28. I recently had Elliot Pettitjohn (0-2, 6.75) up but he was the victim of a roster crunch; he'll get the call in a couple of days when the rosters expand anyway. Infield: Catcher is so, so bad this year. Neither Ivan Sanchez (.165, 1, 7) nor Jonathan Victoria (.194, 10, 32) are hitting over the Mendoza Line and there's nothing on the farm that looks like it'd fare any better. The organization did recently sign former Angels backup Juan Cavazos (.191, 1, 12), who I'll probably call up as well, but he's 35 and really bad defensively. Dr. Jack Holman (.244, 6, 40) is a recurring nightmare for me at first base. I say I'm done with him, I put a replacement in, and then said replacement gets hurt or is even worse than Dr. Jack's been... well, maybe not to that latter point, as Holman isn't even scraping 650 in OPS. Anyway, Mike Ramos (.264, 1, 16) is a career .300 hitter who found himself on the outs with the Reds and, if he can stay healthy, could be the answer at first for a few years. For the time being, he's out for another 10 days to 2 weeks so hooray, more Dr. Jack. Outfield: Neither Fernando Ceballos (.212, 1, 14) nor Dylan Dockery (.207, 5, 23) are hitting at all but at least Ceballos can play center like a major leaguer. As such, he's got the job through the rest of the season and probably next year too, barring some sort of blockbuster trade. August 30: The Pittsburgh Pirates just lost number 60. They're still on the outskirts of a pennant chase so let's take a look at them. Code:
Team Name W L % STR GB R HR AVG SB ERA HR/9 BB/9 K/9 PCT ZR Att Pittsburgh Pirates 71 60 .542 L1 6½ 550 89 .246 42 3.28 0.6 2.8 6.2 .981 33.2 961,699 I should point out here, too, that even though the nature of these check-ins (that they come every 20 losses) is that they tend to happen when a team is doing poorly, the Pirates are actually 17-10 for the month and if anything are trending upwards rather than downwards. Rotation: Somehow I'd had the Pirates in a 5 man rotation. That changes now as they get going for that final pennant push. I can see part of the reason for doing this, as the back end of the rotation is kind of indistinguishable. The odd man out Danny Perez (8-6, 3.71) isn't that bad and arguably isn't the worst guy there. But he is the least experienced and, well, you've got to get Jeremy Battaglia (14-9, 2.84) as many starts as you can down the stretch. Bullpen: The bullpen is really Paz Lemus (6-4, 1.69, 21 Sv) and whatever else Pittsburgh can muster. Lemus threw 151 games between 1968 and 1969 and I would be surprised if he gets into less than 75 this year as well (he's at 63). It almost doesn't matter who everyone else is, as Lemus figures to pitch in about 90% of the high-leverage innings available. Infield: I'm not super impressed by 2B Marty Wolcott's (.356, 4, 11) lack of range or ability to turn the double play but he's hitting and that's more than what I can say for anyone else at the position. Anyway, Henry Villar (.400, 0, 4) figures to come back next season so this is a 1970-only solution. I installed Luis Cardenas (.180, 1, 4) at short hoping he'd hit like he did last year in Columbus (.310 with a .398 OBP) but he's failed to do so and so the job falls to 2B Arturo Martinez (.171, 0, 16), who can at least field decently. This is mostly keeping the spot warm until Tyler Webster (.226, 16, 55) comes back from a torn quad. He's around 3 weeks away. Outfield: All three outfield spots are set. I guess the most vulnerable player is CF Justin Hearl (.262, 0, 19), who is also filling in for an injured player - 11 time Gold Glove winner Elijah Johnson (.288, 2, 23) - but the question of who starts (hint: the answer is Johnson) is, again, a 1971 problem, not a 1970 one. August 30: The San Diego Padres, on the other hand, are slumping. I mean, they're an expansion team. They're just bad. Is it slumping to play to your level (they're 10-17 for the month entering into their final game in August)? Code:
Team Name W L % STR GB R HR AVG SB ERA HR/9 BB/9 K/9 PCT ZR Att San Diego Padres 51 80 .389 L2 29 524 115 .234 65 4.48 1.0 4.4 5.2 .980 -2.3 1,178,348 Rotation: I think the guys in the rotation right now are more or less who they want to look at through the rest of the year. The iffiest guy maybe is LHP Francisco Ortega (2-10, 4.84) but nobody in AAA looks particularly appetizing and hey, replacement level is a level after all. Bullpen: More of the same here, although I'll surely pad this area of the team out in a couple days. Juan Moreno (3-8, 5.31) is barely hanging on and is 33 to boot but hey, he was 8-6 last year in a similar swingman role and, once again, it's not like he's blocking anybody right now. I also wanted to make note of Erik Schnipke (5-15, 4.77), who I tried as a starter for a big chunk of the year but is just, like, light years better as a reliever (2.08 ERA in relief, 5-13, 5.32 as a starter). Infield: C Adam Bakke (.227, 1, 25) is fine when he hits in the .270s like he did last year but as a .227 hitter he's an overall minus. His OPS is less than .600. Xiu-Tou Shen is sitting in the minors, where he hit .300 for Salt Lake City (.300, 5, 36) but failed to hit in a limited trial. I'm sure I'll add him to the roster in September but probably will wait until next year to put him into an outright battle for the position. 1B Alex Canales (.243, 2, 12) hasn't been hitting so much since missing most of the year with the old biscuit meniscus but again... who am I going to use there instead? He was a starter for the Braves in 1968 and was pretty OK last year. Outfield: CF Zachery Hadley (.239, 1, 29) combines inadequate hitting with inadequate fielding in center. He's not a long term answer except in the sense that the team is a little forced to use him. Their top CF prospects are all in short season A ball with ETAs of 1972 or later. Oh right, also Tyler Mitchell (.241, 6, 17), who's out for the year. Maybe next year, though.

Stat Dump - September 1, 1970
I added a bunch more stats, got some spacing in there, and most of all I redesigned the code to use the Entity Framework, which I scaffolded onto the database the game generates. I can share that code if anyone's interested. I'm also going to shoot to recreate the starter/reliever stats that BBRef has in a future release.

More Stats - September 1
I went through and got the starter/reliever stats using Entity Framework. This is actually not a view that's readily available on Baseball Reference even though all the stats are there. What you get via BBRef are team totals (which I haven't done yet but I will try to get that added for season-ending infos, both for these metrics and for regular old batting/pitching ones) and then a sortable table. I'll be honest; I like this setup better for just perusing stats.
I'll also note that the Leverage Index numbers are wildly off in the DB dump for some reason. Code:

Redone SP/RP stats for September 1
I reworked this a bit and added some more of these numbers I can extrapolate from the data. Wins Lost and Losses Saved seem very low, to the point that I think I might be undercounting them (oh right, thinking this through I know now - my stat only calls them a win lost if the pitcher in question's runs allowed after being charged with any inherited runners scoring still puts them ahead (R > RS), which will obviously get rid of a lot of use cases). So... it looks like I'll need to figure out bequeathed runners one way or the other anyway.

I think that's the MLB equivalent of being up by 10 with 5 minutes to go in the game. The Pirates and Astros both need help, that much is clear. I will say that as a current Mariners fan, the fact that the Astros have laid an egg after the All-Star break (19-16 since August 1) is OK by me. Power Rankings ---------------------- Code:

SF is fiiiinally reflecting the swoon they've been in for the past month and a half. This week they were instrumental in the Braves establishing themselves over .500 by dropping 3 straight to them. They also lost 2 of 3 in Cincinnati. They are now 8-33 since July 27! Major Transactions ------------------------ August 31: The Angels purchased C Shaun Dennehy (.243, 4, 28) from the Braves for $10,000. Kind of surprising to see a trade of this magnitude completed this late in the year - the real life equivalent here was a cash move for a guy named Tony Gonzalez, who is now pretty much completely forgotten but in his time he was an outfielder who collected almost 1500 hits in his career and was the Braves' starting CF in real-life 1970. The Angels don't really have so much of a hole in center but with Mike Perez (.168, 13, 40) seriously underperforming they did have one at catcher. Atlanta's season is over anyway, although they really have zero at C outside of Dennehy. August 31: The Pirates traded P Aaron Cellini (9-8, 4.16 with AAA Columbus) plus $5,000 to the Senators for P Brian Bruno (8-11, 3.70). Cellini was up with the Cardinals last year for around half the season but never really fit in the Pittsburgh's plans this year. He's still only 26 so Washington could make use of him. Bruno is a couple years older and maybe a step better but how good can you be if you washed out of Washington's starting rotation? He'll likely be called on more as a reliever down the stretch. September 1: The Cubs purchased RP Suk-min Moon (2-3, 3.49) from the White Sox for cash. Moon, the former closer for the Twins, should bolster a rough Cubs bullpen. For the South-siders, this wasn't their year and Moon is 34. September 1: The Padres traded P Erik Schnipke (5-15, 4.77) to the Mets for RF prospect Omar Padilla (.271, 18, 56 at A Visalia). Padilla's only 21 but isn't really in the Mets' plans; that said, the Padres can use all the chances they can get. The main piece of this trade, of course, is Schnipke, who's had a really rough year in San Diego but has been very effective out of relief, which is surely where he'll go in New York. News ----------------------- August 31: Hey, a non-Yankee won the AL PotW. You love to see it. It was Senators' 1B John Skelton (.296, 18, 64), who has really put together an interesting back part of his career at age 41. Skelton went 11 for 23 (.478) with 3 HRs and 10 RBIs. This was his 6th Player of the Week award of his career; he got one last year but the last one he had before that was all the way back in 1959. August 31: Houston Astros LF Jesse Lockhart (.344, 16, 73), a contender for the NL MVP honors, wrapped up the NL PotW. He hit .435 (10 for 23) with "only" 1 HR and 4 RBIs to get there. This was actually his first ever Player of the Week award, which is sligtly surprising but then this is also his second full year in the big leagues and first year as a truly elite All Star level player. August 31: Terrance Bryant (4-0, 1.36), the Red Sox' lefty specialist who made just his second start of the season today, pitched a 3-hit shutout against the Tigers en route to a 3-0 victory. Bryant was formerly a workhorse for these Sox but after missing almost all of last season with shoulder inflammation they chose to bring him back slowly this year. Edgar Molina (11-13, 3.80) took the loss; he seems like he's been on the bad end of a lot of those (which, hopefully I'll get some SP stats when I do the latest DB dump tomorrow). September 1: An assassination attempt on King Hussein of Jordan precipitates the Black September Crisis, a conflict between Jordan and the PLO (remember the PLO?). September 1: Senators SP Bruce Rubio (4-0, 1.07) was lights out in August and that earned him the August Rookie of the Month award for the American League. All those stats came last month, as you might expect. He struck out 24 batters in 42 innings, so that .212 OBA might be a little smoke-and-mirrors, but so far he's had the control of a man 10 years older (he's 22) and is looking like a nice piece for the future of this franchise. September 1: The NL Rookie of the Month, oh and also by the way the NL Pitcher of the Month was Cubs SP Jose Zarate (9-2, 1.34), who has been a godsend for his team. In August he went 6-0 with a 0.55 ERA, with 21 Ks and 9 walks in 48.2 innings of work. Chicago hasn't really had an ace this year with Bill Lucas (11-13, 3.94) struggling this year following a 23-win 1969 campaign; in August, at least, Zarate provided that. September 1: The AL Pitcher of the Month is another Yankee. Man, they've had a lot of individuals with hot streaks lately. This time it's LHP Tracy Mosher (20-10, 2.35), who made 7 starts and won 6 of them. During those, he threw 57 innings, struck out 56 batters, and had a sparkling 1.74 ERA. I doubt Mosher was very high on the Cy Young list going into last month but he's surely a front-runner now. September 1: The NL Batter of the Month award goes to a guy who's earned a great deal of hardware: Cardinals 1B Justin Stone (.311, 38, 100). Stone may be toiling for a 5th place team but he's still bringing it. In August he hit .324 with 11 homeruns and 28 RBIs. That power surge puts him just 2 behind current leader Jaden Weaver (.260, 40, 110) of the Astros. Should he pass him, this would be Stone's 5th HR title of his career. He's still only 31 years old and has 389 HRs to his name: he could conceivably past #400 this season. September 1: Hey, guess what? Another Yankee. The AL Batter of the Month was 3B Tiptoe Tommy Weiss (.308, 19, 70), who had a pretty nice month himself: a .349 average, 6 HRs, 19 RBIs, and 25 runs scored. I might have personally awarded teammate SS Ty Stover (.282, 27, 91), who had 8 HRs, 29 runs, and 26 RBIs, although he "only" hit .299 in August. But hey, the game decides these things, not me. September 1: And hey, with the advent of the new month, I can run the Cy Young Tracker. First the AL: Code:

It awards players a point based on these criteria: Leading the league in runs batted in. Leading the league in batting average. Leading the league in home runs. Driving in 100 runs. Having a .300 batting average. Playing for a division- or league-winning team. Playing an up-the-middle position for a division or league winner. So, breaking this down by hand for the AL: 3: Ty Stover, NYY SS (.283, 27, 91) (leading in RBI; nobody in the AL has 100 yet, playing an up the middle position for a division leader) 2: John Johnson, CLE SS (.346, 17, 82) (leading in BA, having a .300 average) 1: Ernesto Garcia, CLE 1B (.213, 33, 79) (leading in HR, although he'll almost certainly be surpassed) 1: A whole lot of guys hitting .300 or playing for a division leading team If the Indians take back the AL East from the Yankees then John Johnson looks like he'd be the easy choice for MVP; otherwise, if things continue at their current trajectory then Stover will take home the trophy (and there's still a good chance he leads the league in HRs since Garcia is out for the season). Indians LF Alonzo Huanosta (.346, 17, 82) could wind up with 4 points if he gets to 100 RBI, leads the league in BA (he's in a virtual tie with Johnson now), and the Indians pass the Yankees (he's already getting 1 point from hitting .300). For the NL... 3: Jaden Weaver, HOU RF (.259, 40, 110) (leading the league in HR and RBI, eclipsing 100 RBI) 3: Jason Workman, CHC LF (.316, 34, 108) (.300 average, 100 RBI, division winner) 3: Greg Darrow, CHC C (.336, 10, 65) (.300, division winner at an up the middle position) 2: Justin Stone, STL 1B (.312, 38, 100) (.300, 100 RBI) 2: Kevin Dwyer, ATL 2B (.352, 26, 87) (leading the league in hitting and batting .300) Dwyer of course is "tied" with all of the up the middle players for the Cubs and (currently) Reds. Justin Stone has been on a tear the past couple months and could easily surpass Jaden Weaver; that said, if he doesn't and the Astros win the West then it looks like Weaver's a lock. Philadelphia's Victor Serna (.222, 31, 94) has an outside shot himself if the Phillies win the division: he's a lock for 100 RBIs pending injuries, and that plus 30 dingers and playing for a division champion gets him into a tie with Weaver. September 1: The Twins and A's opened up a 3 game series in Minnesota with a double-header and... things didn't go so well for the Twinkies. I don't know how Oakland is doing it with this rotation but the back half of Minnesota's is kind of awful, which we saw today with both Victor Ruiz (6-7, 4.75) and Ricardo Magdaleno (6-16, 4.81) getting knocked out of the box before the 5th inning. CF Mike Schurke (.313, 7, 48) went 7 for 10 with 3 runs scored and RF Matthew Levario (.262, 22, 60) did his part with 2 bombs and 5 RBIs. The A's now sit just 1 1/2 games behind Minnesota in the AL West. September 1: Yankees SP Obe Olthof (19-6, 2.83) had his bid for a perfect game broken up with no outs in the 8th inning but he still managed to achieve a 2-hit shutout of the Orioles to keep the Yankees on top of the AL East. Orioles 1B Jon Hernandez (.221, 13, 52) collected the base knock that broke up Olthof's hopes. "At leasht it wash a good sholid hit," Olthof said following the game. September 1: The Phillies won the game - but did they lose the war? LF Paul Stewart (.299, 13, 60) came up lame making a diving catch in today's 9-4 win over the Cubs and is now expected to miss the next 3-4 weeks with a strained back (play through it, meat!). Because there's just not anything left to throw at the problem, prospect Antonio Valencia (.291, 8, 55 in AAA Eugene) will take his place until he's ready to come back. September 1: The Atlanta Braves sweep the LA Dodgers and hold onto a .500 record (67-67) for the first time all year. 2B Kevin Dwyer (.352, 25, 87) went 5 for 8 over the two contests with a homerun and 3 RBIs. They're 14 1/2 games behind the Reds, so they're not getting back into the division race, but it's a nice milestone for a team that has been struggling all season. September 2: Welp, it's been that kind of season. Mets SP John Mash (12-10, 3.01) was pulled early yesterday and it immediately looks like he has bone chips in his elbow. He'll have surgery soon and could be back by Opening Day 1971. September 3: Braves SP Damian Seja's (1-0, 1.04) 1970 lasted one game and man, he is going to be out for a while now. He was diagnosed this morning with a partially torn UCL and won't return until the second half of 1971. At this point it's probably necessary to add "if at all", given that Seja has pitched a grand total of 22 games over the last 3 years. September 3: Tracy Mosher (21-10, 2.27) continues his torrid streak, shutting out the Orioles on 6 hits, striking out 10 hapless batters. "It's hard to touch him when he's on," said the Yankees' manager [REDACTED]. "And he's been on for the past month." Incidentally the AL wins record is 24; also, the innings pitched record is 318 and Mosher is at 269.2 so far. September 3: The Phillies got to Cubs closer Freddy Uscanga (8-4, 3.07, 12 Sv) in the 12th inning to complete a 3 game sweep at Wrigley Field and pull to within 3 1/2 games. 1B Josh Coffey (.331, 15, 75) broke the game open with his only hit of the night, a bases-clearing double with two men on, and then 2B Victor Serna (.223, 32, 96) made it all moot with a 3 run blast. "All the hard work we did back in March paid off," said Coffey after the game. The two teams have one more series left against each other between the 25th and 27th of the month. September 4: In Chile, Senator Salvatore Allende wins a close Presidential race against right-wing Jorge Alessandri, picking up 36.2% of the vote to Allesandri's 34%. Allenda is a socialist and... I predict this will end well. September 4: The Indians and Yankees opened up a crucial 3 game series in New York today. Game One went to the Tribe as they rallied for 4 runs in the 9th off starter Danilo Caneas (15-11, 4.28). A bases loaded double by pinch-hitter and recent call-up Bobby Ramirez (.125, 0, 3) was the crucial blow. Stopper-in-residence Landon Whittier (7-6, 3.67) picked up the win for the Indians, with Joe Brda (2-2, 3.43, 3 Sv) just barely eked out a save by giving up two solo homeruns in the bottom of the 9th and ending the game on a fly ball to deep right. Cleveland narrowed the gap to 2 games in the AL East. September 4: When you have two of the top teams in your league playing each other, it's almost inevitable that you also get a Battle of the Crap. Actually, this weekend features two such Battles in the AL: Detroit and Washington are fighting to stay out of the cellar in the East, and the expansion Royals and Brewers face each other in Milwaukee. The latter, which is a true Battle of the Crap since it's between the two worst teams in the league, is the "important" one. Anyway, the Royals won the opener 2-0 thanks to a great start by 23 year old Rick Rodriguez (1-1, 4.20), who rebounded nicely from a 7 run blasting by Washington to shut out the Brewers on 6 hits. 1B Yahashi "Oki Inu" (it's "Big Dog" in Japanese! I think you can say "ooookiiiii" if it's a really large dog) Ono (.287, 10, 62) provided all the runs the Royals needed with a solo homerun in the third. September 4: It's a big weekend for the AL. The Angels and A's also met for the first game of a 3 game title eliminator series, with California knocking off Oakland 4-3. Gary Bruno (13-6, 2.86) went all the way for the Halos and LF Nelson Vargas (.322, 11, 71) and 1B Pete Jennings (.310, 16, 86) hit back-to-back RBI singles in the bottom of the 5th to give the home team a lead they would not relinquish. The win allows California to keep pace at 2 1/2 games back with the Minnesota Twins, who beat the Chicago White Sox by an identical 4-3 score. September 4: I'm not going to recap literally every game today but wanted to note that it was raining in the Cubs' game against the Mets and a (thankfully) small part of me wanted to look at weather history in the Windy City and see whether or not it was actually raining this weekend. Then a larger part of me said "no, Syd, that's stupid" and I guess a still larger part said, "stupid enough to journal about? I think so". And here we are. September 4: In the NL, the Pirates kick off an absolutely crucial 6 game stretch with a 3-game matchup against the Phillies in Forbes Field. Pittsburgh got it started out right as Santos Arango (14-8, 3.06) outdueled the phenom Marius Gaddi (22-4, 2.30), throwing a 5-hit shutout to lead the Bucs into a tie for 2nd in the East division. 1B Albilio Valdivia (.281, 12, 50) put the team out to a lead with a 2-run homerun in the 1st and that was basically all she wrote. Following this series the Bucs play 3 games in 2 days against the Cubs, also in Forbes. September 5: In the Vietnam War, gunships from the 17th Cavalry Regiment (um, okay) killed 6 soldiers from the Army of the Republic of (North) Vietnam, kicking off a US manuever called Operation Jefferson Glenn, which would prove to be the last major operation that the famed 101st Airborne Division would be a part of in that war. September 5: A's 1B David Decker (.283, 27, 78) has been out of action with blurred vision since August 27 and he just had his return time downgraded to "unknown". This is obviously very bad news for Oakland, who is just barely hanging on in the AL West as it is, although on the plus side it does give them a chance to take a longer look at C/1B prospect Josh Lewis (.250, 0, 0), the first overall pick in the 1969 draft who hit .360 in AAA Iowa this year. Somehow he was only the #18 prospect in MLB going into the season. September 5: Yankees SP Obe Olthof (20-6, 2.80) won his 20th game in dispatching the Indians 5-2. The game was knotted at 2-2 in the bottom of the 8th, when tiring Cleveland starter Dylan Hamilton (13-13, 3.79) gave up a 2 run bomb to RF Franklin Meneses (.268, 23, 68). The deciding game of the series will be played tomorrow, with 24 year old Malik Johnson (3-2, 3.14) scheduled to start against Roy Holm (12-12, 4.15). September 5: The Brewers also even the Battle of the Crap at a game apiece with a 3-2 win over the Royals. This game was defined by the number 10: SS Eric Biron (.237, 10, 36) became the second Brewer to hit double-digit homeruns (he is now the co-leader with C Jonathan Victoria (.201, 10, 33)) and Ricardo Gomez (10-7, 3.59) picked up his 10th win by taking the game into the 9th and allowing lefty specialist Dave Zapata (1-2, 3.94) to get the final two batters out. On the Royals' side of the ledger, Eric Tyler (6-14, 5.27) picked up his 2nd Tough Loss of the season (that's a loss where you throw a quality start). September 5: In California, the Angels knock off the A's 2-1 and just about put the A's season on ice. Andy Ring (7-12, 4.05), acquired in a midseason trade with the Dodgers, pitched 8 innings for the win (I'd have pushed him to complete the game but he was reeeeeally wild, with 6 walks, and had thrown 130 pitches), with the go-ahead run coming in the 8th on a 2B Mauricio Mendez (.310, 9, 37) triple. The Angels stay 2 games out, while the A's are 4 out now and practically need a win tomorrow to stay in the race. September 5: Pirates closer Paz Lemus (7-4, 1.56, 22 Sv) went six innings in relief and led his boys to a big win over the Phillies, 4-3 in 13 innings. Lemus came in in the 8th, allowed the tying, and then locked Philadelphia down the rest of the way. For Philly's part, they also locked the Pirates down from the 5th to the bottom of the 13th when 3B Ryan Colvin (.311, 3, 10), who's chasing a World Series ring in his final season in the majors, belted a walkoff homerun. The Pirates look for the sweep tomorrow; Carlos Torres (11-6, 3.57) will take the mound against George Dapson (11-11, 3.99). September 5: Cardinals LF Lorenzo Martinez (.256, 38, 96) cracked 2 homeruns, the latter of which was the 400th of his career, in a 9-8 loss to the Expos. Martinez holds the single-season HR record with 65 in 1962, is now the 6th player in league history (which started in 1946 if you haven't been checking) to hit the quadruple-century mark, and is still only 32 years of age. Also, he's hitting those dingers in spacious Busch Stadium, although somehow 22 of his 38 taters this year are at home. He moved just in front of Yankees SS Ty Stover (.278, 27, 92), who has 398 career HRs himself. Atlanta's Henry "The Hammer" Riggs (.280, 37, 95), himself only 34, is the all-time leader with 476. September 6: Padres LF Davin Henderson (.259, 7, 17) demanded a trade. Henderson is... fine, I gues? He's only 31 and is mostly just a victim of a numbers game in San Diego. But I think both the corner OFers - LF Carlos Gomez (.265, 19, 54, and 28 years of age) and RF Nelson Hernandez (.276, 27, 81 and 27) are younger and better, and 1B Alex Canales (.250, 2, 15) is a lot younger (25) and has a history of being a full-time starter in this league. All of which is to say, yes, Henderson gets his "trade" here, by which I mean he's been cut. The way the AI does things, he'll probably sign somewhere in around 3 days. September 6: The PLO hijacks 4 passenger planes headed out of 3 European cities to New York and flies them to Dawson's Field, a remote airstrip in Jordan. September 6: So... apparently Minnesota and Chicago (A) got the whole weekend off. I guess their games were rained out (I'm using the as-played schedule). Sucks to be the A's, I guess - the Twins host them for a 3-game series on Monday and Tuesday that includes a double-header in the first game. It looks like they'll be making up those games on Friday, the 25th - what must have been a 2-game weekend matchup turns into a 4-game series instead. Also, this series was in Minnesota and that series is in Chicago but sometimes life isn't fair. September 6: The Indians win the rubber game of the 3-gamer vs the Yankees, 4-1, behind a strong performance by rookie Malik Johnson (4-2, 2.81). Johnson allowed just 4 hits in the complete game victory. Just 24 years old, Johnson's got to be in the Indians' rotation next year but even for now, he's got his team back to 2 games back in the East. Cleveland and New York face off again next weekend for the last time this season. Septenber 6: Shunichi Zeniya (8-7, 3.80) threw a 3-hitter that proved the Brewers the ultimate Battle of the Crap champions in their showdown against the Royals with a 2-0 victory. Tim White (9-13, 4.66) took the tough loss for Kansas City. These two teams face off in KC next week. September 6: The Angels completed a sweep of the A's with a walk-off wild pitch by reliever Josh Howard (4-4, 4.46) in the 12th, 3-2. Oakland starter Roberto Ortiz (11-6, 3.54) did technically throw a quality start but really struggled through 9 innings, walking 7 in that time, so there was no way he was going to be able to carry his team any further. Gavin Yates (5-3, 3.04) got out of a 2-on, no out jam he inherited from Tanzan Kihara (1-2, 2.69) to earn the win. The Angels move to a game and a half back in the West with this; the A's are now 4 1/2 behind the Twins. September 6: The Pirates finish the sweep of the Phillies with a 3-1 win. Jeremy Battaglia (16-9, 2.72), who has emerged as a true #1 starter this year, threw a 4 hitter and Ryan Colvin (.326, 4, 12 with PIT) blasted a pinch-hit homerun in the bottom of the 8th to send the home team fans happy. The Cubs were rained out today so the Pirates only moved up half a game to 4 behind in the NL East. Teams In Review ----------------- September 1: With a loss in the first half of their double-header against the A's, it's time to take a look at the Minnesota Twins Code:
Team Name W L % STR MAG GB R HR AVG SB ERA HR/9 BB/9 K/9 PCT ZR Att Minnesota Twins 74 60 .552 L2 28 - 606 140 .250 68 3.52 0.7 3.0 6.4 .977 -3.8 1,275,615 Rotation: Yeah, so the thing is, Magdaleno was 13-8 last year and was a huge leading force in getting the team their pennant victory. He looks kind of done now but I can't just abandon him. And nobody's really ready to go in the farm anyway. So this rotation, such as it is, remains intact at least until Ramos returns. Bullpen: Pete Lynn (8-6, 3.61, 12 Sv) has been really up and down - 6 blown saves! - but again I don't think I can just cut bait on the guy. That would be a panic move and why panic when you're still up by a couple games? At most, I'll call a couple of arms up to keep guys from having to pitch in multiple games if I don't need them to. Infield: With Daniel Gilmet (.291, 5, 33) apparently out for the year with a strained groin, 35 year old Danny Pellot (.293, 2, 19) just plain has to be the guy now. If he keeps hitting like this, there's no need to worry. Outfield: CF Zach Dempsey (.207, 5, 20) isn't really holding his own in the lineup but the incumbent Jose Villasenor (.269, 10, 34) is back in just a couple weeks so it's... fine. It's fine! September 1: Also riding in with loss number 60 are the Philadelphia Phillies. They're still alive in the NL East, albeit barely. Code:
Team Name W L % STR MAG GB R HR AVG SB ERA HR/9 BB/9 K/9 PCT ZR Att Philadelphia Phillies 72 60 .545 L1 6½ 584 118 .262 36 3.62 0.9 3.2 6.3 .975 -19.5 1,040,060 (Also just wanted to note with peace and love: Richard Starkey is all the way up to AAA now. Peace and love, peace and love.) Rotation: As much as I'd love to run out a 3 man rotation a la Gene Mauch in the early 60s, that's even more of a death sentence in OOTP than it was in real life; as it is, the 4 man "always start highest rested" setting will need spot starters. That said, the top 3 guys are pretty well encased in stone and the #4 man Billy Ording (4-3, 3.18) would be higher up most everywhere else. No need to fix what ain't broke. Bullpen: I've called up several guys to be filler since it's September 1 and all but by and large this is unchanged as well. One thing to look out for is closer Tom Grohs' (7-5, 2.80, 15 Sv) nagging strained hamstring that's still got 2 weeks to run its course. It shouldn't affect his throwing but IME any pitcher injury makes them a lot more likely to get re-injured so I'll probably be stuck with using him in the 9th for a bit. Infield: It's pretty much set. I'm not super fond of Alex Becerra's (.242, 23, 73) glove (26 errors and a .905 FA) but he's got that sweet power stroke. He's also hurt for the next few days so I plugged in prospect Nate Rowe (.360, 16, 80 in AAA Eugene) but Becerra gets that job back once he's healthy. For 1971 though, who knows? Outfield: Right field is a sore spot but it's just not going to be solved for 1970. For now, a platoon of Luis Martinez (.253, 2, 8) and Bobby Corley (.236, 4, 7) will have to do. September 6: The Boston Red Sox have lost 5 of 6 games to open up September and that puts them to 60 Ls total. Can I do anything to get them to arrest this fall? Code:
Team Name W L % STR GB R H R AVG SB ERA HR/9 BB/9 K/9 PCT ZR Att Boston Red Sox 77 60 .562 L4 6½ 602 112 .262 56 3.20 0.7 3.0 6.7 .981 15.5 1,168,101 Rotation: Honestly, there's not much to change here. Chris Messina (7-6, 2.31) will probably be the guy pulled when Davila returns. He's been very good as a starter (5-5, 2.34) although he's striking out just 3.2 guys per 9 innings in that role and so I wonder if he'll be able to keep that up. He'll only have to continue the good run for another start or two. Bullpen: Things are already set pretty well. The Red Sox have by my count 5 "plus" relievers already and will add a 6th when Messina moves here. If this was 1995, this would be amazing. Infield: 3B Edwin Madriles (.283, 6, 28) has clearly outhit Mauro Magoni (.254, 6, 36) but there's a part of me that still thinks I cut bait on the 2+ year Sox starter too soon. Then I look at his history and I see that outside of a good 1968 (.293, 10, 63), he's really never been all that good. So Madriles stays. We'll take another look come spring training. I'm not about to bench SS Oniji Handa (.283, 21, 76), who in addition to the big stats is basically Mark Belanger in the field, but he's been hitting 4th and it seems like he's been a bit overmatched there (.253, 8, 30 hitting cleanup vs. .299, 13, 46 batting 2nd). The thing is, even Handa trying to do too much (which I don't think is a thing in OOTP but you just *know* people would make excuses like this IRL) is better than anything else the Sox can throw at the 4 hole so at least for the remainder of 1970 I think he has to stay here. Outfield: LF Josh Teague (.232, 11, 35) has done nothing this year and is pretty much only in right now because Matt Wilson (.280, 3, 24) is nursing a strained back. I mean, I actually prefer Teague's power in the corner outfield - he hit 25 HRs last year - but he never walks. You know what? I think I'll probably leave him in at left. He is a .269 career hitter, after all. RF Jun Kim (.252, 16, 62) is another guy who's "tried to do too much" with the Bosox after coming over from the other Sox in the offseason. Like Handa though, there's "I'd prefer him to be better" and there's "I have a replacement" and those are two very different questions. Also, like Handa, Kim is a plus-plus fielder.

Standings
--------------- Code:
AMERICAN LEAGUE STANDINGS East W L PCT GB Cleveland Indians 87 60 .592 - New York Yankees 86 60 .589 .5 Boston Red Sox 82 64 .562 4.5 Baltimore Orioles 71 75 .486 15.5 Washington Senators 68 77 .469 18.0 Detroit Tigers 65 81 .445 21.5 West W L PCT GB Minnesota Twins 81 64 .559 - California Angels 77 68 .531 4.0 Oakland Athletics 76 69 .524 5.0 Chicago White Sox 67 79 .459 14.5 Milwaukee Brewers 63 84 .429 19.0 Kansas City Royals 52 94 .356 29.5 NATIONAL LEAGUE STANDINGS East W L PCT GB Pittsburgh Pirates 83 62 .572 - Chicago Cubs 83 62 .572 - Philadelphia Phillies 81 66 .551 3.0 New York Mets 69 77 .473 14.5 St. Louis Cardinals 67 80 .456 17.0 Montreal Expos 50 95 .345 33.0 West W L PCT GB Cincinnati Reds 91 58 .611 - Houston Astros 87 59 .596 2.5 Atlanta Braves 72 76 .486 18.5 Los Angeles Dodgers 69 76 .476 20.0 San Francisco Giants 69 77 .473 20.5 San Diego Padres 57 90 .388 33.0 In the AL East the Yankees have dropped off just enough to alow the Indians to catch up. As you can see from the standings they're neck and neck but OSA gives Cleveland a 59.4% chance to win because the Yankees have to face off against the 3rd place Red Sox twice, including a 4 game series next week, whereas the Indians and Bosox only have one series remaining. The NL East is now tied, which, I'll be honest, absolutely floors me. OSA gives the Pirates the edge here, which on the one hand I feel like they didn't look at that team's lineup right now but on the other hand they are red, red hot (11-1 in September!) and the Cubs are... not. In 12 September games, the Cubs have allowed 9 or more runs 5 times. That's not going to win you ballgames. The Phillies are also darkhorses there, actually with a better chance to win than the Red Sox have. The Pirates and Phillies play each other this week and incidentally that's the last time this season, barring a playoff, that these 3 clubs will match up. In the NL West the Reds have managed to put a couple games between themselves and the Astros and now they've got a 75% chance, which if memory serves is about how much chance an NFL team has if they're down by a touchdown with 5 minutes to go. If that sounds close, well... it is. These two teams will also meet each other 5 more times, including a 2 game series at the Astrodom on the 15th and 16th. Power Rankings ----------------- Code:

Hinkson was... not all that good this year and increasingly saw his appearances get lower and lower leverage. He's still a former closer for the Astros and at 29 likely has some legs still. September 12: The Brewers traded SP Shunichi Zeniya (9-7, 3.55) to the Red Sox for a "player to be named later" who is LF prospect Jared Fields (.393, 7, 31 at A Winston-Salem). Zeniya is 33 and as such isn't likely to be good by the time the Brewers are anything worth keeping track of, and Fields is a low-level guy who wasn't really considered a prospect before he went crazy in 140 at-bats in A ball this year. Maybe he'll turn into something. Who knows? September 12: The White Sox, busy on the waiver wire today, claimed LF Sebastiano Veneziano (.227, 7, 52) from the Senators. Veneziano hit .304 last year but seems to have cratered this season and in the process lost all of his playing time to younger, better players. Still, he could still be worth something and the White Sox are not exactly going anywhere right now anyway. News ----------------------- September 7: Washington Senators LF Bill Swan (.191, 6, 10), who had a Jared Kelenic-esque April that got him sent down to the minors for most of the year, won the AL Player of the Week with 7 hits in 17 at-bats and 4 solo homeruns. Swan was 5 for 51 in 14 April starts but looks like he's worked whatever was hurting him. He's only 24 so needless to say, this was his first such award. Hopefully not his last! September 7: On the other side of the age spectrum, 37 year old Mets OF Mario Diaz (.300, 3, 20) won his first ever PotW award. Diaz has carved out a career as a 4th OFer and pinch-hitting specialist but was pushed into a larger role with a severe regression by Edgar Arriaga (223, 11, 36). Long-term, you can't imagine he'll stick around for much; short-term, way to go, Mario! September 7: Fighting breaks out between PLO-sponsored guerillas and government forces in Amman, Jordan. September 7: It's out of the frying pan and into the fire for the Indians, as they have a 3 games in 2 days series against the 3rd place Red Sox. Today's the double-header and it opened up fine, with Josh Matthews (20-6, 2.93) earning his 2nd 20-win campaign in as many years with an easy 7-3 victory. The Tribe got to Red Sox starter Sandy Hinojosa (18-10, 2.95) in the 2nd for 4 runs, with the big hit being an RBI triple by CF Carlos Hernandez (.303, 11, 51). Hinojosa would eventually get knocked out of the box in the 6th. September 7: In game 2, 1B Mike Miller (.291, 26, 79) belted a grand slam homerun in the top of the 8th and closer Matt Brock (6-4, 3.29, 26 Sv) pitched his way out of a no-out, runners on 2nd and 3rd situation in the bottom of the same inning to lead the Red Sox to a 6-5 win over Cleveland. I've yet to play the game between the Yankees and... the lowly Senators but as for now Cleveland is 2 games back with Boston at 5 1/2 GB. September 7: The Yankees slipped, giving both Cleveland and Boston a shot at moving up. Tracy Mosher (21-11, 2.37) didn't quite have his normal 1970 stuff today, allowing 11 hits and 5 runs in a complete game loss to the Washington Senators. C Armando Flores (.299, 3, 52) slapped 3 singles and scored twice for the Washingtonians, with OF Bill Swan (.199, 6, 11) getting ever close to the Mendoza Line with a 2-4, 2 run, 1 RBI game that included an RBI double. The loss pushed Cleveland all the way in to 1 1/2 games back. September 7: Literally everyone in the NL is playing a double-header today. Senior circuit scheduling guys, what gives? September 7: The Pirates got the job done against the Cubs, sweeping the double-header at Forbes Field. In Game 1, the Bucs got to Chicago's "ace" - their #1 starter at least - Bill Lucas (11-15, 4.05) in the first inning for 4 runs and hung on for a 5-4 win. In Game 2, they relied on a 4-hitter by spot starter Danny Perez (9-6, 3.45) and singled to death the arguable true ace of the Cubs, Jose Zarate (9-3, 1.98) to emerge with a 5-1 victory. The two wins mean Pittsburgh has now won 7 in a row and are just 2 games behind Chicago going into the last game of the series tomorrow. September 7: In more sobering news, Pirates 3B Roberto Prieto (.223, 15, 65) injured his hamstring in the first game of said doubleheader and it looks like he'll miss the year. He was not really doing all that great but Pittsburgh is now missing their first string second baseman (Henry Villar (.400, 0, 4) played just 12 games this year before going down with post-concussion syndrome after being hit by a pitch), shortstop (Tyler Webster (.226, 16, 55), who's due back in 2 weeks with a torn quad), and third. They are really limping in. September 8: 5 games into his Expos career, a career I should add that started with his being signed as a free agent after his former team released him, RF Manuel Alvarez (.220, 0, 13) has gone past the "hey man, start me" and straight into "trade me somewhere who will play me". Well, he's depth at this point so I'm not going to cut him... in fact, I am kind of dissatisfied with Gabe Martinez (.259, 2, 26), so... trade demand or no, I'm going to let him show what he can do because why not. September 8: Yankees starter Danilo Caneas (15-12, 4.47) is having a really bad September right when the Yankees need him the most. Caneas, who is 0-2 with a 7.53 ERA and just 2 Ks in 14.1 IPs so far in the month, got knocked out in the 6th inning and the Yankees couldn't overcome the deficit, falling 9-6 to the normally punchless Senators. This, coupled with an Indians win over the Red Sox, tightens the AL East to 1/2 a game. Coming up, the Yankees have a mid-week 2 game series vs. the Orioles followed by another 3-game series at Cleveland. September 8: I don't know how they do it with (now) 3 automatic outs in the lineup (well, plus the pitcher but that's everybody) but the Pirates just pulled off a 3-game sweep against the divison leading Cubs. Santos Arango (15-8, 2.98) outdueled Victor Marin (11-9, 4.19) for the 2-1 win. The winning run was even scored off of a sac fly by one of those automatic outs, 3B Andrew Kennard (.163, 0, 6), who's even the 3rd stringer out there with Ryan Colvin (.340, 4, 13) on the bench waiting to be diagnosed with an injury of his own. Unbelievably, one game now separates these clubs. They wrap up their season series this weekend in Chicago following a mid-week 2-gamer vs the dregs of the division (MON @ CHI, STL @ PIT). September 9: Guinea recognizes the existence of the German Democratic Republic, aka East Germany. Mark down this date. September 9: A bit of bad news for the Astros and 1B Justin Richens (.290, 16, 73). The elder statesman's strained PCL has been downgraded and it's now unknown when he'll return. Team doctors are hopeful he'll get back before the season is over but it's tough, especially given the nothing they've gotten from that position since he went out in early August. September 9: In better news for Houston, SP Tony Rivera (15-10, 2.96) had been sitting out the past couple days with an undiagnosed injury and as you know, whenever the diagnosis is delayed like that it's ominous. Well, as it turns out, his shoulder strain wasn't anything serious and he should be good to go within a couple of days. Rivera isn't in the mix for the Cy Young but he's the ace of the Astros' staff. September 9: Red Sox Justin Kindberg (19-12, 2.46) lost his chance at becoming the first player in modern baseball history to throw 10 shutouts in a season in the next-to-last at-bat of the game when Tigers SS Matt Mullen (.269, 0, 39) hit an RBI single with 2 outs in the 9th. "Them's the breaks," said a still upbeat Kindberg after the game. "I'll probably have a chance or two before this year is over. Go Sox!" September 9: Pirates SP DJ Cheeves (11-13, 3.89) willed his team to victory today over the Cardinals, 3-2, by setting a new Pirates record with 14 strikeouts. The old record was held by Tim Avery in 1960; Cheeves had come close earlier this year with a 12 K performance of his own. He was still 2 Ks off from the NL record, set by Bobby Morales in 1966 with the Cubs. Despite this, the anemic Pirates lineup was getting shut out until a 3 run outburst in the bottom of the 7th, capped by a triple by 1B Albilio Valdivia (.286, 12, 54). Incidentally, Valdivia pulled up lame after that and is being evaluated for a possible injury. Man, Pittsburgh. You make it so hard to love you. September 10: The Cambodian government breaks the siege of Kompong Tho after two months in the Cambodian Civil War. September 10: Chevrolet releases the Vega, a subcompact car, amidst various production line and quality control issues. This will not end well for Chevy... September 10: It looks like Pirates 3B Ryan Colvin's (.284, 8, 31) career is at an end, as he was diagnosed with a hamstring injury that will take him out for the rest of the year as well as the playoffs should the Pirates get that far. The 43 year old Colvin, who began his career all the way back in 1950, ends with 2,418 hits (8th all time), 285 HRs, and 1,259 RBI (8th all-time as well). He's a shoo-in for the Hall. September 10: The Pirates did get a rare piece of good injury news, however: 1B Albilia Valdivia (.286, 12, 54)'s injury wasn't severe and he'll nurse it back to health while staying in the lineup. The Pirates are currently utilizing first stringers at catcher, first, left, and right; everyone else is out with an injury. September 10: The Brewers played the spoiler role in the most devastating fashion, shutting out the A's in both ends of a doubleheader in Oakland to all but kick them out of the pennant race. Ricardo Gomez (11-7, 3.41) threw a five-hitter in game one to win it 5-0 and Shunichi Zeniya (9-7, 3.55) followed it up by scattering 4 hits in his own start, a 3-0 victory. This, along with a Minnesota Twins sweep of the lowly Royals, drop the A's to 5 games behind the leaders with 22 to play. September 10: Cubs CF Mark Tooley (.272, 11, 41), who'd been a solid everyday player for the Cubs in '68 and '69 before missing a month with injuries this year, is out for the season with a hamstring injury. As noted below, Chance Cooper (.265, 11, 24) and Adam Groves (.249, 15, 47) were platooning in right field; now, Cooper can move to center and both guys can play full-time. September 10: Speaking of spoilers, Cardinals 1B Justin Upton (.310, 40, 106) hit his 40th HR of the season, leading his team to a 9-3 rout over the Pirates. This marks the 5th time the St. Louis superstar has cracked 40 dingers in a season and the first time since 1965. Not to say he didn't keep producing during the 60s deadball era - the man has 6 MVPs to his name, including all of them from 1964 through 1967 - but he'd just missed the mark with 39 HRs in '67, 35 in '68, and then missed most of the season last year. He's now at 391 HRs for his career, 8th in league history and just behnd the Yankees' Ty Stover (399) and his teammate Lorenzo Martinez (400, and I recently noted his milestone here too). September 11: The Yankees and Indians opened a pivotal 3-game series with a matchup of their aces, but the results were somewhat anticlimactic as neither New York starter Tracy Mosher (21-12, 2.53) nor Cleveland's Josh Matthews (20-6, 3.00) pitched particularly well. Matthews was chased in the 7th after he blew a 4-1 lead but then in the bottom of that same inning, Mosher gave up a 3-run homerun to RF Tommy Pron (.329, 6, 66) to give the Tribe a 7-4 lead they held onto for good. The win at least momentarily puts Cleveland back on top of the AL West by half a game. September 11: What the fans have REALLY been waiting for, however, is the Battle of the Crap, and here we have the final AL BotC of the year between the Brewers and Royals. As you expect all BotCs to be, this game was a topsy-turvy affair with the Royals coming back against Brewers starter Cris Olivares (7-10, 3.88) to take a 5-4 lead going into the 9th, only for Victor Reyes (1-8, 7.44) to characteristically melt down in the 9th with a 2 run HR allowed to pinch-hitter Jorge Andres (.300, 2, 8). Danny Plaunt (5-5, 2.90), a rare bright light in Milwaukee, took home the victory. With 19 games left to play, the Royals now have to finish 11-8 to avoid 100 losses. September 11: In more important if less exciting news, the Angels opened up a crucial 3 game homestand against the Twins today. Game one was if anything a little boring, as Jordan Irons (12-6, 2.41) cruised to an easy 4-1 victory over hard-luck Chris Benavides (15-14, 2.81, including 7 tough losses). Benavides had the technical quality start - 6 innings, 4 runs, 3 earned - but the cutoff comes somewhere. The win puts the Angels 2 games back and, more devastatingly for Minnesota, gives them HOPE. September 12: Indians PH Jason Brull (.095, 0, 0), who's been sitting in that role in AAA forever, says he's retiring at the end of the year. His major league career spans a whopping 516 games and 1,043 at-bats. September 12: The Yankees scored all their runs in the 7th off of Indians starter Andy Lagunas (17-7, 3.83) and it wound up being just enough to eke out a 6-5 win. Danilo Caneas (15-12, 4.35) pitched a meh quality start - 6 innings, 7 hits allowed, 3 unearned runs - before giving the ball to Jesse Kelly ( 9-9, 2.93, 23 Sv) who pitched the final three frames for the save. Both 3B Tommy Weiss (.302, 21, 75) and RF Frank Meneses (.266, 25, 75) homered in the fateful frame for the Bronx Bombers, who move back up on top of the AL East by half a game. September 12: Game Two of the final AL Battle of the Crap was a pretty ho-hum affair, with the Brewers getting to Jose Zuazua (1-2, 6.75) for 3 runs in the 5th and 3 more in the 7th and then cruising to an 8-3 victory. Alex Izquierdo (3-3. 2.90) couldn't quite shut the door in the 9th to pick up his 3rd complete game, so he left with 2 on and 2 out to allow Danny Plaunt (5-5, 2.89) to pick up his 12th save on the year. With the win the Brewers are a full 7 1/2 games up on the Royals in the standings and it's very clear who the Crap King is in 1970. September 12: Twins 3B Mike Brookes (.270, 32, 94) had just about the most Mike Brookesish day you can imagine, going 1 for 3 with 4 walks, including a bases loaded walk in the top of the 14th that "drove" in the game-winning run. The Twins were actually getting shut out in this one 6-0 before Gary Bruno (13-7, 3.07) and then Bubba Touchton (8-5, 3.72, 7 Sv) blew up in the 9th and turned the game into a 6-6 tie. That's how it stood for 4+ frames as both closers (including Minnesota's Pete Lynn (9-7, 3.17)) dueled, until finally Touchton just completely ran out of gas. To be fair to him, he threw 119(!) pitches in this one and probably won't be available for a few days. ANYWAY, how was this a Mike Brooksian game? Well, Brooks has led the AL in walks in each of the last 3 seasons and this year not only is he easily leading the league again, but that game-winning run walked in (GWRWI) put him into a tie for the 3rd most walks all time in a single season with 126. The record, set in 1955 by Henning Rasmussen with the Yankees (what a name!) seems pretty hard to catch (144) but if anyone can do it, it's Brookes. Also, the win here puts the Twins 3 games up with 18 to go. Their magic number sits at 16. September 12: Marius Gaddi (24-4, 2.43) made a few more mistakes today than he normally does but the Expos were very accommodating to him anyway and now he sits one win away from tying the Phillies' record for single-season victories. Gaddi went 7 innings today, allowing 5 runs, 3 earned, on 7 hits and a homerun to RF Ben Aldridge (.182, 1, 6). However, he left the game with a 10-5 lead, which does make things easier. "I don't math good," Gaddi said after the game, "but I know that ten is more than five". The win puts the Phils 4 1/2 out of first (note: I haven't played the Pirates/Cubs game yet) with 16 to go. September 12: The Pirates just keep finding ways to win; today they took down the Cubs 6-4 to pull to within a game. Santos Arango (16-8, 3.06) gave them 6 solid innings and then gave the ball to the Pirates' bullpen, most notably Paz Lemus (7-5, 2.03, 23 Sv) to close it out (at that there was a major injury scare in which Lemus appeared to have suffered a sprain elbow that would have taken him out for the rest of the season but somehow that went away wonder how that happened huh). September 13: Welp, Astros SS Jordan Green's (.275, 4, 23) comeback from a herniated disc in his back lasted all of 9 games, as his back is bothering him again. He was sent to the 21 day DL with the expectation that he'll be out for right around 3 weeks. That would put a return at the final series of the season. In the meantime the team does have defensive whiz John Timonen (.194, 5, 15), who honestly might just win the NL Gold Glove in spite of only starting 73 games at the position this year. September 13: The Indians coaxed 8 innings out of Dylan Hamilton (15-13, 3.70) and then held their breaths as Joe Brda (2-2, 4.79) put the go-ahead runner on base before striking out Yankees 1B Alex Cardenas (.300, 27, 82) to pick up his 5th save on the season and push Cleveland back into first place in the AL East. Cleveland got out to a 2-0 lead in the 3rd off of starter Olbe Olthof (20-8, 3.13), who threw a complete game in the loss, with an RBI double by RF Tommy Pron (.330, 6, 67). After the Yankees retaliated with a run in the 6th, the Tribe got to Olthof two more times with runs in the 7th and 8th innings. The Indians actually get a day off tomorrow, believe it or not, and from then on the only season series they have left against an above .500 team is a 3-gamer against Boston in Fenway from the 21st through the 23rd. The Yankees have a somewhat similar cupcake of a schedule except that they face Boston in two separate series. September 13: Red Sox SP Justin Kindberg (20-12, 2.42) picked up his 20th victory with a 3-1 win over the Orioles. The Red Sox are just barely still in the AL East race at 4 1/2 games behind but they have series against both of the front-runners still to come. That includes their very next set of games: a 4 game series at Yankee Stadium from September 15-17 (yep, you guessed it, there's a doubleheader in there). September 13: The AL Battle of the Crap ends with the Brewers sweeping the doubleheader. They may be 63-84 on the season but they finished the year 10-8 vs. the Royals and that's all that matters in Milwaukee. Game one saw Chris McGranahan (9-12, 4.18) throw a 5-hitter and lead the Brew Crew to a 5-2 victory. McGranahan has really scuffled with Milwaukee so far (5-6, 5.13) and it was good to see him put things together today. Game two was... well, let's just say it was exactly the kind of game you'd expect to see between two last place teams. The Royals carried an 8-5 lead into the top of the 7th, then gave up the lead on 4 singles, 2 errors, and a wild pitch. They did manage to tie things back up in the bottom of the inning thanks to LF Jeff Nation (.303, 18, 75) hitting his 2nd HR of the day (he had the other in the first game), but then chose to use rookie Vince Bump (0-1, 10.38) in the 9th over Victor Reyes (1-8, 7.44), who, to be fair, has been awful at best when he's not tired and he was tired. Anyway, Bump gave up 2 runs off of a P Deshawn Mazyck (3-4, 3.66) single and that was all she wrote. The 11-9 loss is Kansas City's 6th straight. September 13: The Twins knocked Angels SP Andy Ring (7-14, 4.35) out of the box in the 5th inning and routed their AL West rivals, 11-5, to take a 4 game lead in the standings. Mike Brookes (.273, 34, 98) walked two more times and, more importantly, homered twice to take the AL lead over Indians 1B Ernesto Garcia (.213, 33, 79), who hasn't played since July 24. Starting pitcher Victor Ruiz (7-7, 4.88) pitched well enough to win (6 innings, 5 ER on 8 hits), which is all that needs to be said there, really. The Twins have an absolute cupcake schedule left, with 10 of their final 17 games against the Brewers and Royals. September 13: I grew up a fan of an AL team and so I'm a big proponent of the DH, but hey, sometimes a pitcher can hit. The Phillies' Billy Ording (7-3, 2.95) put together a singular game against the Montreal Expos, shutting the expansioneers out on 8 hits and, on the other side of the ledger, going 4 for 5 with a run scored. Ording, 26, has knocked around between AAA and the majors the past couple years but he's managed to put together a lifetime .307 average in the majors over 199 at-bats. This season he's .375 - 15 for 40 - and would be the front-runner for the Silver Slugger at the position if he played more this year. The Phillies incidentally are still mathematically in the NL East race, 3 games back now (with CHI-PIT yet to play) with 14 to go. September 13: Somehow, even when their much-ballyhooed pitching staff lays an egg, the Pirates find ways to win. Today they outlasted the Cubs 9-6 behind fine hitting from some guys you might expect - LF Justin Lawson (.290, 18, 83) went 2 for 4 with 2 RBIs and a homer run and RF Brian Jackson (.326, 4, 92) went 3 for 5 - and guys you might not - 2B Arturo Martinez (.188, 0, 19) went 3 for 4 with a run and an RBI of his own. They needed this because starter DJ Cheeves (11-13, 4.06) suffered through a bad outing following two good ones (4.2 IP, 6 ER thanks to 3 HR allowed). On the Cubs' end, Victor Marin (11-10, 4.55), a 16 game winner in 1968, surrendered 7 runs in an inning and two thirds. This win... wait for it... ties the Pirates with the Cubs atop the NL East. The Pirates are 11-1 for the month, which needless to say is beyond phenomenal. Chicago meanwhile is 4-8 and the pitching, which they've been able to mask over all year long, is really beginning to look like it's going to be their downfall. September 13: I guess it's just a day for pitchers hitting or something. Giants SP Robert Rivera (12-16, 3.36) hit his first career homerun in a 5-0 shutout of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Rivera is not exactly known for his bat; he has a lifetime batting average of .106 and even with the dinger is hitting .120 this year. Still, a dinger is a dinger. Ernesto Castillo (13-14, 3.35) went all the way in the loss. Teams In Review ----------------- September 9: Limping into September with 6 losses in 8 games, it is now time to look at the Chicago Cubs Code:
Team Name W L % STR MAG GB R HR AVG SB ERA HR/9 BB/9 K/9 PCT ZR Att Chicago Cubs 81 60 .574 L3 21 - 741 157 .278 56 3.70 0.9 3.4 5.6 .982 0.2 1,213,859 Rotation: Their #4 guy Jose Zarate (9-3, 1.98) is coming off of a month where he was named Best Pitcher in the National League, so I don't see myself pulling him for the sake of pulling someone. The other 3 guys all have track records, although not all of them are living up to them. I think the guys in front are being hurt by being left in games too long, but the bullpen is so, so iffy right now that I feel there is no other choice. Bullpen: The two-headed stopper of Antonio Martinez (2-3, 2.91, 7 Sv) and Freddy Uscanga (8-4, 3.03, 12 Sv) is working well enough. Maybe they'd be better off just naming one of them the go-to guy, but who? Otherwise, the Cubs are carrying a big bullpen right now; of course, they won't use all these guys come playoff time but this is a decent enough time to figure out who's a keeper and who isn't come October (assuming there is an October for this team). Infield: The Cubs are leading the NL in runs scored and top to bottom the lineup is pretty well set. The "weakest" link is 2B Juan Perez (.272, 9, 42), who missed a chunk of time with injury this year and is "only" well above average at his position. Outfield: I've dropped right field into a platoon between the young phenom Chance Cooper (.248, 9, 21) and veteran Adam Groves (.247, 15, 46). I don't see any reason why this can't continue through the end of the year, although probably I'm going to have to find a new home for Groves. He's still only 30 and looks pretty well recovered from the injury that cost him all of 1969; maybe he can fetch a mid-level starting pitcher? September 12: It's mid-September so I've probably made the moves I'm going to make with the Detroit Tigers but hey, it's time to take a look anyway. Code:
Team Name W L % STR GB R HR AVG SB ERA HR/9 BB/9 K/9 PCT ZR Att Detroit Tigers 64 80 .444 L5 21½ 558 112 .261 82 3.86 0.9 4.0 7.2 .984 25.4 944,646 Rotation: OK so the first order of business is, Douglas Sweetapple (1-5, 3.66) has a wonderful name but he's 32 and why on Earth are the Tigers giving him rotation time? I'm going to call up 25 year old Richard Pulido (7-7, 3.97 in AAA Toledo) from the minors; he was dominant in AA Montgomery and meh overall in AAA but he did strike out a good number of guys and, like, where else are the Tigers headed? Bullpen: I recently recalled Mike Lopez (2-3, 4.63), who was pretty okay with the Padres last year but completely forgot how to throw strikes in the early part of the season this year (he's still at 42 walks in 44.2 IP). I wouldn't say he conquered his issues in AAA Toledo but they did get better (5.1 BB/9 there). At this point I'm installing him in middle relief and hoping that sticks. So far he's thrown 4 innings in 2 games and 3 walks. Is that progress? Otherwise I'm not seeing big reasons for changes to be made. Alex Madrigal (3-10, 4.07, 24 Sv) has likely pitched himself out of the closer role but we'll make that decision in March, not now. Infield: Gianluigi Farinelli (.262, 10, 46) had a terrible August, hitting just .204, but it looks like he's started to hit again, which is nice because I don't really want to replace him anyway. I just don't think Jose Ayala (.268, 16, 58) is that good but he's not, like, terrible either. I'd look at prospects but, you know, it's first base, and the one guy right in line to replace him, 28 year old Ryan Stokes (.036, 0, 1) has done absolutely nothing at the plate. Besides him I guess I could give Adam Dittmar (.223, 10, 33) more time to show if the .302/22/80 season he had last year was a flash in the pan or not, but, like, he's already had 332 at-bats to prove that this year. Nah, I'm staying with Ayala. (note: I realized after the game that I actually do have a guy I'd like to give more time: OF Danny Valdez (.309, 14, 34), who reminded me of his presence by jacking a pinch-hit HR that helped lead the team to an 8-5 win. He's not rated at first, but... what if he was? Poof, suddenly he is now. The OOTP gods work in mysterious ways.) Outfield: A big part of why Dittmar isn't playing, of course, is that all three of the current outfielders are looking really good. No changes needed here. September 13: The Cleveland Indians are fighting for their lives right now. Can they scrounge enough wins to put them over the top? Code:
Team Name W L % STR GB R HR AVG SB ERA HR/9 BB/9 K/9 PCT ZR Att Cleveland Indians 86 60 .589 L1 ½ 703 141 .284 43 3.42 0.9 3.4 6.2 .984 2.4 1,350,711 Rotation: I'd worry more about 24 year old rookie Malik Johnson (4-3, 3.23) being the 4th guy in this rotation this late in the year but a. it's not like the Indians have any other choice, and b. he's actually been pretty good. He has had some issues with the longball - 8 HRs in 9 starts to date - but he strikes out guys and when he's on, the Indians feel comfortable enough with him to allow him to go deep into games, as evidenced by the 4 CGs and more than 7 IPs per start. Bullpen: So there is a bit of good news here: Doug Ellis (2-2, 3.91, 2 Sv), who they acquired last year to replace Todd Thiesen, is due to come back from the shoulder issues that have kept him on the DL since late May in the next 10 days or so, barring a setback. Ellis isn't really any kind of a shutdown reliever but he should at least give these guys an above average guy to work around. Right now I'd love to have something better than Joe Brda (2-2, 4.70, 4 Sv) and Landon Whittier (7-6, 3.73, 6 Sv) but those options simply do not exist. Infield: 1B Kyle Kelver is hitting well enough (.316, 14, 67) that he's going to create some real problems with Cleveland next year in terms of finding PT for both him and the currently-injured Ernesto Garcia (.213, 33, 79). It's not a terrible issue to have but for now, needless to say that Kelver's spot in the lineup for the rest of 1970 is safe. 3B Roberto Hernandez (.272, 14, 63) has a sub-.300 OBP and is only adequate at his position. If this was a worse team I'd probably spell him a lot or go so far as to try someone else out - 22 year old Bobby Ramirez (.154, 0, 5), who hit .336 in AAA this year, for example. The Indians are not in a place to gamble with someone who might be great ahead of a guy who's getting the job done. 1971 though... Outfield: RF Tommy Pron (.327, 6, 66) hit 19 HRs and drove in 101 guys last year, so the lack of power and clutch hitting is worrisome. Nevertheless, he's still hitting really well overall, so even if the Indians had an OK replacement, I'd say that they couldn't use them here. Just, you know, please hit for more power, Tommy... September 13: The St. Louis Cardinals have dropped the first two games of the series vs. the Mets and that means I'm taking a look at them. I sort of feel like I could "rightly" be looking at teams when they lose game #81 instead of 80, but on the other hand it's easier to keep track of 20 loss increments so I'm doing what I do. Code:
Team Name W L % STR GB R HR AVG SB ERA HR/9 BB/9 K/9 PCT ZR Att St. Louis Cardinals 66 80 .452 L2 18 616 138 .252 44 4.27 0.8 3.7 5.8 .980 -36.7 1,331,692 Rotation: The main thing I'll do here is migrate Raul Dias (2-4, 7.18) out of the rotation and into low leverage relief. Dias was obviously not ready to make the jump all the way from AA but I mean the minor league seasons are basically over so perhaps he can regain some confidence in a lesser role. The replacement is Valentin Qiu (3-1, 3.52), who's been pretty solid in relief this year. He was OK in half a year as a starter last year for that matter but was the victim of a numbers game. Bullpen: The Cardinals aren't lacking for people who can (theoretically) pitch right now; what they're lacking are people who are a. ready and b. not washed. They've got a couple weeks to see if any of the 9 guys currently in the 'pen can put it together. I won't say there's nobody who doesn't belong, but the ones who have looked completely outclassed are young, at least. Infield: OSA still thinks John Stuart (.222, 2, 15) is the 3rd best catcher in all of baseball so that gig is surely his when he comes back next year. Luis Garcia (.271, 3, 23) has probably played his way into a backup role, though, so that's one piece of good news. OSA also insists that the Cards' best option at second base is Pirates reject Pietro Palmarocchi (.138, 0, 0), who I will admit has an awesome name. Pietro was only OK in the minors this year (.275, 5, 28 in AAA Tulsa, although he did carry a .361 OBP), though, and the guy who's won the job, Tom Depew (.277, 6, 38) is 2 years younger (25) and has shown the ability to hit well enough to bat second for this club. I don't expect there to be much of a battle here for 1971. 3B Mike Morrison (.263, 2, 34) is sitting because of a sore back and even when he gets better I'm leaning towards just letting the younger Mike Galeana (.412, 3, 7) play out the year anyway. Galeana has hit 40 HRs combined between 2 minor league levels and the big leagues this year and you can't just ignore that kind of power. He's not the greatest glovesman at the hot corner and fielding is a big, big issue for this team, but at the same time the Cards need to find a spot somewhere for this kid. Outfield: RF Casey Satterfield (.258, 16, 68) has been a major disappointment this year, especially in the field, where he's hurt the Cards with below average range. He's only 24 but you know as well as I do that range tends not to improve. His arm is also only average and if it wasn't for the fact that Lorenzo Martinez (.254, 39, 98) is patrolling left, he'd have moved over there long ago. As it stands, I'll leave him in there but this is definitely a position in need of an upgrade somehow.

Their magic number is 5 and I'd be a little surprised if they don't clinch next week. Oddsmakers give the Angels a 0.3% chance of winning at this point. In the NL East the Cubs have a solid 2 in 3 chance but that's not a gimme, obviously. They have a huge 3 game series at the Phillies next weekend that could be for all the marbles. Pittsburgh really only has the chance that it has because they get to play the Expos, Mets, and Cardinals to close out the season. Finally in the NL West the Reds are just barely holding off the Astros but their chances have improved to 59-41 because, frankly, we're running out of time. There's an absolutely huge 3 game series between the top two teams at the Astrodome next week; whoever wins that series is in the driver's seat. Power Rankings ----------------- Code:

There are other teams who had crazy weeks. Like the Braves, who essentially flip-flopped with the Athletics and are also .500 now. They're also by Pythag the luckiest team in baseball, which is one way to put things, I guess - the Braves of course won the division in 1969 and were heavy favorites to repeat. Now they're just continuing to ruin San Francisco's season and playing the spoilers against the Reds. They actually get to face both the Reds and Astros in the final week of the season (which means. the Astros next weekend and the Reds in the final series), so spoilering may continue. Minnesota is getting hot at exactly the right time, with the Yankees and Cubs also making strong final pushes. At the bottom, how bad is it that there's a 100 loss team and yet you, the Kansas City Royals, are not only worse than they are but by power ranking points a lot worse? I guess, going back to the A's, they have a lot of chances to salvage their season as the Royals' final seven games are all against Oakland - and those come after a *5* game series at the White Sox that includes 2 double-headers. Major Transactions ------------------------ September 15: The A's traded CL Carlos Ramirez (3-7, 2.99, 22 Sv) to the Pirates for minor league OF Elijah Wright (.261, 2, 21 at AAA Columbus). A white flag trade for the A's (and really late in the season too); Wright isn't a super great prospect but he's close at least. Ramirez gives the Pirates another arm outside of Paz Lemus in the bullpen. September 16: The Cubs purchase IF Kellen Owen (.325, 2, 18) from the A's for $10,000. It amazes me that teams were able to make moves like this in mid-September (incidentally the actual move was for Tommy Davis, who'd been a starter for the Astros and A's prior to this deal, so if anything this is less egregious than what happened in real life). Owen will slot into second base and try to give his team a bit of extra "kick" in the last couple weeks, although I don't think he's eligible for the playoff roster so Juan Perez (.266, 9, 43) is probably their guy once more should they get past the Pirates. Awkward... September 20: The Mets purchased P Benito Diaz (3-4, 3.35) from the Indians for $7,500. Often, I have to say, I'm a little amazed at how teams fit in with the trades and so on. Sometimes I have to make a small change in terms of a position swap or something like that. Here, the Indians IRL did a salary dump / "here's a gift to help you win" move to the Mets; in the game, of course, it's the Indians who are fighting for a division title. The guy they actually moved - Dean Chance - was a far larger part of their pitching staff than Benito Diaz, but it's still kind of a big piece to take away from them. The Mets, well, they get to take a look at him and see if he's good enough to be a part of their 1971 run. News ----------------------- September 15: King Hussein of Jordan forms a military government with Muhammed Daoud as the prime minister. September 15: The AL's Player of the Week is a pretty familiar face: Cleveland's Alonzo Huanosta (.356, 17, 87). Huanosta went 17 for 30 (.567) last week, wresting control of the batting title away from teammate John Johnson (.351, 7, 57), and also managed to hit 2 HRs and 5 RBIs. This is the 6th time the 29 year old has won the award. September 15: The NL Player of the Week, on the other hand, is brand new: 27 year old RF Bobby Corley (.272, 7, 12) of the Phillies. Filling in for the injured Paul Stewart (.299, 13, 60), Corley feasted on Senior Circuit pitching to the tune of a .556 average (10-18), 3 HRs, and 5 RBIs. This was, needless to say, his first such award and his earning it marks a big turnaround from last year, where he hit just .138 in 80 at-bats. September 15: Cleveland was expecting to get Doug Ellis (2-2, 3.91, 2 Sv) back by spring training to help bolster a thin bullpen. However, his shoulder issues aren't clearing up and he had surgery today to remove some bone chips. He's now not expected to return until late May to early June, and even then he'll probably have a pretty lengthy rehab stint in the minors. September 15: The Angels swept the A's at the Oakland Coliseum, effectively knocking Oakland out of the pennant race. They took home Game 1 7-3 in spite of starter Jordan Irons (12-6, 2.45) having to come out in the first inning with back problems (early reports are that it's not serious and he should be good to go in about a week), thanks to 2 home runs by CF Norm Hodge (.268, 8, 43) and a 3 run inside the park HR by SS Chris Adams (.298, 18, 86). Game two was all about SP Aidan Williams (13-6. 3.39), who pitched a 5 hit shutout and outdueled Athletics "ace" Rick Shelton (13-15, 3.80), 2-0. The wins put the Angels 3 games back of the Twins pending Minnesota's own double-header against the Brewers; the A's are now 6 back and it's probably time to start looking at kids. Um. That doesn't sound right. September 15: As I predicted, Minnesota wasted little effort taking down the Brewers and so the Angels' sweep above was necessary just to keep place with the Twins. Minnesota outsored Milwaukee 20 to 7 in the twinbill, winning game one 13-3 and coming back late against the expansion bullpen the Brewers have thrown together to win the nightcap 7-4. Mike Brookes (.272, 36, 104) homered in both games, extending his lead in AL HRs to 3. September 15: Pirates closer Paz Lemus (7-6, 2.03, 24 Sv) was unexpectedly wild late and it cost his team, as the Phillies won on a walk-off single by C Sam Rahn (.299, 6, 30). Lemus walked 4 men in 2.1 innings, including 3 in the fateful 11th to load the bases for Rahn. Omar Sanchez (7-4, 4.17) pitched two scoreless innings for the win, which keeps the Phillies 3 games in back of the Cubs, with the loss pushing the Pirates to 1 game behind in the NL East. These two teams pick it back up tomorrow and the day after. September 15: The top two teams in the NL West faced off for the first game of a two-game series, with both sides putting their aces on the mound. In the end, Houston's Tony Rivera (16-10, 2.92) prevailed over Cincinnati's Steve Waiters (24-6, 2.55), 3-1. Waiters didn't have his normal stuff today and although he kept his team in the game, a 2 RBI triple he allowed to LF Jesse Lockhart (.333, 16, 78) was all the Astros needed to win and move to 1 1/2 games behind in the NL West. September 16: Senators OF Jon Fath (.238, 4, 20), who was acquired from the Brewers earlier in the year, is so unhappy with playing time that he wants to be traded. Given that he's hitting .184 with the Senators so far I think it's much more likely that I'll just cut him at the end of the year. The only reason I'm not cutting him right now is that we need depth in the outfield, especially with the recent loss of Sebastiano Veneziano (.227, 7, 52) to the White Sox via waivers. September 16: Two more players joined the 40 homerun club in today's 9-6 Cubs win over the Cardinals. First, LF Lorenzo Martinez (.255, 40, 99) slammed a second inning 2 run dinger off Cubs starter Bill Lucas (11-16, 4.38), who was eventually chased in the 4th. Not to be outdone, Chicago's own LF Jason Workman (.317, 40, 123) slugged two of them, a 3 run blast in the 6th and a 2 run slam in the 8th, to mount a comeback in a game the Cubs were at one point losing 6-2. This is the 7th time Martinez has reached the 40 HR threshold; Workman's previous career high was 38. September 16: The Phillies' Cy Young contender Marius Gaddi (25-4, 2.35) outdueled Pirates Santos Arango (16-9, 3.03) 2-1 to stay 3 games out and drop the Bucs to 2 back. Arango was cruising through 8, pitching a 2 hit shutout, but then got singled to death in the 9th with the Phillies opening the inning with 5 consecutive base hits. That included the game-winner by backup OF Alex Valencia (.314, 1, 6). These two teams wrap up their series tomorrow and for the Pirates, this will be their final game against a +.500 opponent. September 16: The NL West tightened up as Reds closer Ricky Rosas (6-7, 2.89, 29 Sv) blew his 9th save of the season and turned a 3-2 lead into a 4-3 loss. It was a bullpen game for Houston, as starter Josh Mullet pulled up lame with a dead arm in the first inning and had to be taken out. Jon Douglas (4-11, 3.96) would up being the guy on the mound when the Astros pulled it out. September 16: Last year's World Series champs the New York Mets were officially eliminated from the playoffs today following their loss to the Montreal Expos. It's been a very disappointing season for the Mets, who are currently 70-78 and as such have to go on a huge run just to finish .500. Last year they won 104 games. This year, a combination of key injuries, the starting pitching coming down to earth, and some frankly awful seasons by players they expected would be major parts of the lineup (most notably RF Edgar Arriaga (.226, 12, 40), who lost almost 50 points from his average and saw his HR count fall by more than half, at least to date) brought them down. September 17: King Hussein orders the Jordanian Armed Forces to oust Palestinian fedayeen from his country. September 17: It took 13 innings, but Phillies 2B Victor Serna (.224, 36, 104) sent the fans home happy with a walk-off homerun. Neither team was doing much of anything up to this point; unfortunately that meant that fine starts by both DJ Cheeves (11-13, 3.99) and George Dapson (11-13, 3.89) were spoiled. Set-up man Joe Sherritt (3-1, 3.20) wound up getting the win, although he had to pitch 3 scoreless innings in relief to do it. This win pushes Philadelphia into a tie for 2nd with Pittsburgh, both 2 games behind Chicago, who lost today. September 18: Phillies SS Tony Shannon (.285, 8, 57) was injured in yesterday's game vs. the Pirates and the diagnosis is a herniated disc. He'll miss the rest of the regular season but, should the Phils get into the playoffs, should be good to go for a League Championship Series. September 18: Twins SP Angelo Ramos (18-2, 2.42) pitched in his first game in almost 2 months and picked up right where he left off. Ramos pitched 7 shutout innings (before I pulled him, just in case) and then let his bullpen complete a 4-0 shutout. 3B Mike Brookes (.267, 36, 104) hit his 7th homerun in September as well; he didn't walk today but he's got 45 of them in his last 44 games as the league increasingly refuses to pitch to him. September 18: In an otherwise lost season, Mets SP Ernesto Carillo (18-12, 3.75) has 253 strikeouts, a mark that puts him in a tie for the 7th most all-time with future Hall of Famer Jeff Borden, who racked his 253 up in 1958. It's unlikely that Carillo will reach the record of 282 set in 1958, given that he has probably two starts left at the most, but 15 K games aren't out of the question. He struck out 12 Pirates today and spoiled them with a 3-2 victory in 10. September 18: Cardinals SP Vince Bachler (9-12, 3.63) completed the spoiler duo for the NL East with a 5-hit shutout that led his team to a (edit) 1-0 win over the Phillies. 1B Justin Stone (.307, 42, 111) hit a solo HR in the 1st for the only run Bachler, whose shutout was the 2nd of the season, needed. September 18: I'm not sure if I've seen a 1-0 game this year. I certainly don't remember one... oh, other than the LITERAL OTHER ONE THAT HAPPENED TODAY. I'm either blind or forgetful or both. Anyway, the Dodgers put one over on the Astros 1-0 tyanks to a 5-hitter by Andres Castillo (14-14, 3.22) in Dodger Stadium. The sad loser was Aaron Shepard (9-5, 3.45), whose single run allowed came on a bases-loaded wild pitch in the 4th that sent leadoff hitter and SS Luis Solis (.332, 5, 32) home. September 19: Kostas Georgakis, a Greek student of geology, sets himself ablaze in Matteotti Square in Genoa, Italy, as a protest against the dictatorial Greek junta led by Georgios Papadopoulos. I don't mean to make light of this but the only George Papadopolous I'm aware of is the dad from Webster. September 19: The Yankees elected to retire the number 28 in honor of Ben Brown (no record), who played in the minors this year after a 14 year career spent mostly with the Bombers, officially announced his retirement. Brown has a lifetime record of 181-118 with a 3.21 ERA, 6 All-Star appearances, and 2 Cy Young awards. He's probably a borderline HOF guy but, as noted, he'd definitely a member of the Yankees Hall of Honor. September 20: Syrian armed forces cross the Jordanian border. September 20: Luna 16, an uncrewed spacecraft launched by the Soviet Union, lands on the moon and lifts off the next day with samples. These would be sold 23 years later for $442,500 in an auction. September 20: The A's are in free fall. Today they were shut out by Bob Reyes (12-11, 3.36) and the Chicago White Sox, which brought their record all the way down to .500 on the year. They've lost 7 straight to get here. Hard to realize that just two weeks ago these guys were challenging for the AL West title. Which, speaking of... September 20: Twins SP Mike Larsen (11-9, 3.05) dominated an expansion, September Royals lineup, allowing a grand total of 2 baserunners in a 7-0 win. This victory, which, let's face it, I normally wouldn't even bother to talk about, officially knocked the A's out of the division race. Apropos to nothing, Twins RF Lou Morgenstern (.237, 17, 62) tied his career high in HRs in this game. The Twins are now 87-65; the A's are 76-76. Wait 'till next year, Oakland! September 20: With their backs to the wall and half their lineup out, the Pirates' pitching staff took matters into their own hands today, shutting out the Mets in both halves of a double-header at Shea Stadium, 3-0 and 1-0. Santos Arango (17-9, 2.92) gave up 3 hits through regulation and handed it off to ace Paz Lemus (7-7, 2.03, 25 Sv) in the 10th after the Bucs finally managed to get runners in in the top half of that inning. In game two, Danny Perez (11-6, 3.18) made the most of a late scratch by DJ Cheeves (11-13, 3.99) to toss a 4-hitter of his own. This time around the Pirates managed to get their run in regulation - RF Brian Jackson (.318, 4, 94) generated it pretty much all by himself, as he hit a one-out single, stole second and then reached third on a C Ricardo Romero (.183, 1, 11) throwing error, and scored on a fielder's choice in the 4th. Unfortunately for Pittsburgh, the Cubs also won today, dropping their tragic number to 9 and allowing them to only move up a little in the standings. Teams In Review ----------------- September 15: The New York Yankees just lost 2 out of 3 games in Cleveland and are facing off against the Red Sox in a pivotal 4 game series. Can they muster up enough Yankeeitis to pull this race out? Code:
Team Name W L % STR GB R HR AVG SB ERA HR/9 BB/9 K/9 PCT ZR Att New York Yankees 86 60 .589 L1 ½ 733 165 .263 43 3.63 0.9 2.5 6.4 .983 -7.7 1,629,7621 Rotation: Roy Holm (6-3, 4.77 with NYY) and Danilo Caneas (16-12, 4.35) aren't exactly world-beaters but they are who they are and this is the bed the Yankees chose to lie in. Holm is also a lefty whose biggest issue is the longball, which ought to be negated by Yankee Stadium, and his home/road splits sure seem to back that up (6-8, 2.89 at home, 7-5, 5.75 on the road). Bullpen: OSA thinks this is the worst bullpen in all of baseball and the loss of David Hinkson (0-0, 4.89) to the waiver wire and the Chicago White Sox probably doesn't help. At least for the rest of the season the gameplan will be for the starters to get into the 7th and later and stopper Jesse Kelly (9-3, 2.93, 23 Sv) to take them the rest of the way. Infield: At second base the Yankees have the tough decision to make between Pat Jones (.268, 6, 35), who is fighting a strained Achilles tendon with no clear timetable for it clearing up, and Wing-fung Yi (.206, 4, 39), who has had an awful season following a .302 campaign in 1969. There's no good answer here; Jones is starting because even with the injury he's been hitting a lot better. Yi is only 25 and I'm sure will get plenty of chances to prove himself come spring training. Outfield: The outfield is pretty well set. I'd love to find a place for Ross Poynor (.271, 7, 26), but as it stands he's the 4th best man and last I checked there are only 3 spots you can fill on any given day. September 17: The ]San Francisco Giants lost their 81st game today, all but clinching their first losing season since 1967. Let's take a look. Code:
Team Name W L % STR GB R HR AVG SB ERA HR/9 BB/9 K/9 PCT ZR Att San Francisco Giants 69 81 .460 L4 21½ 593 90 .254 67 3.65 1.1 3.0 6.3 .981 25.3 1,203,564 Rotation: The front-line starters haven't actually been that bad, although as you'd expect from that offensive output, there are some hard-luck cases in there. That said, one guy I'm going to make a point of taking a look at in the last couple weeks is AJ Thompson (5-2, 3.86 in Phoenix), who was a 3rd round pick this year but has rocketed up through the minor leagues. He doesn't look like he's quite learned how to turn a devastating forkball into strikeouts but I think he could be really useful in front of a decent defensive squad, which, run scoring issues or no, the Giants are. Bullpen: There's not much to do here, really. Henry Roman (4-1, 2.14, 4 Sv) seems better suited for a set-up role than as the team's stopper but that's a decision I can make next year if The Assassin John Booth (4-6, 2.50, 21 Sv) is ready to go in spring training. Infield: At catcher, Edwin Adame (.191, 3, 12) has been bad all year long and can't field anymore, so I'm going to cut him loose in favor of international signing Felipe Ronchetti (.250, 1, 5 in Phoenix). The scouts are not fond of Ronchetti but he is at least only 26 and at that, starter Chris Campbell (.234, 4, 30) has hit .200 and .178 in August and September so I'm just going to stick Ronchetti into the starter role and see if he's anywhere close to being ready. In the interests of guys getting at-bats, I'm going to put 1B Chris Seek (.299, 3, 38) into a platoon with Bobby Turner (.300, 3, 17). Neither guy has the power you want from a first baseman but both of them are pretty young and, hey, if you can hit .300, you don't necessarily need 20-HR power. And yeah, in more "let's just see who can play" news, 2B Bill Heyen (.257, 0, 40), who's had a rough season after a breakout 1969, will go to the bench in favor of 23 year old Rodrigo Juarez (.289, 7, 25 in Phoenix), who's another guy who moved through 2 levels of the minor leagues this season. Juarez has been with the organization since 1963 and has been a fairly decent prospect for most of that time, but never quite put it all together until this year. We'll see what he does in the span of 50 or so at-bats and take that into spring training. Outfield: Scott Lammers (.196, 7, 27) is currently filling in for the injured John Everhart (.270, 22, 77) but I'm not convinced I'll even have him in training camp next year, so this is temporary at best. Otherwise, the best guys are playing and I don't see the need to do anything else. September 18: The season's almost over and there's very little I can or will do here but hey, the Cincinnati Reds did just lose number 60 so they deserve a look. Code:
Team Name W L % STR MAG GB R HR AVG SB ERA HR/9 BB/9 K/9 PCT ZR Att Cincinnati Reds 91 60 .603 L2 12 - 754 139 .262 78 3.43 0.9 2.9 7.3 .979 14.0 1,023,100 Rotation: Joe Hagan (18-12, 4.34) hasn't been great, but like a lot of mediocre pitchers on great teams, his record does not show this. Are there guys who could probably do better on the roster? Probably. Am I going to remove an 18 game winner because his ERA is a bit high? Not at all. Bullpen: The top of the bullpen's set and the Reds aren't in anything like a position to use youngers or organizational guys except in blowouts. As such, several of the guys in the bullpen right now have little to no usage. We'll look at that again in spring training. Infield: OSA has suddenly soured on 1B Stephen Clark (.256, 14, 79), whom they now think is the 2nd worst starter at the position in baseball. That could mean finding a new home for the Reds' lifetime leader in hits (with 1,935); on the other hand, he's only 32 and by the numbers he's bad, not terrible (well, he doesn't walk, so it's an empty .256 that he's hitting, but that's knowledge 2022 Syd Thrift knows, not 1970 Syd Thrift). Outfield: CF Chris Wilkes (.242, 3, 49) has all of 15 extra-base hits this year and doesn't even field that well. He's the guy who got us here and so he's the CF through the end of the year, barring injury. The team does have 23 year old Bobby Beaulieu (.250, 1, 2), who will certainly push Wilkes for the job in spring training, but he was only fine in AAA (.271, 12, 62, although a .367 OBP), not astounding at the "oh my god use him now" level. September 18: Like the Reds, the Houston Astros are fighting hard for a playoff slot and are unlikely to be making changes but let's look anyway. Code:
Team Name W L % STR GB R HR AVG SB ERA HR/9 BB/9 K/9 PCT ZR Att Houston Astros 89 60 .597 L1 1½ 674 136 .262 48 3.53 0.7 3.8 5.8 .984 36.4 1,596,873 Rotation: Josh Mullett (13-11, 4.29) is out for the next week with a dead arm but that's practically a blessing in disguise for Houston, as he's got an underwater K/BB ratio for the second straight season. Frankly, I don't know how he does what he does, but he's sure to have a spot in the rotation once he's back. Bullpen: Jon Douglas (3-11, 3.92, 26 Sv) makes every save opportunity into an adventure and sometimes the Astros lose their way in the, um, jungle of that adventure. Sure. That's the metaphor I will use. It's too late in the, um, movie to make a change there so it's up to Douglas to stay out of the quicksand. Yep. Quicksand. Infield: First base is a mess right now, as you'd expect when you're just waiting every day for that phone call from your trainer to tell you that Justin Richens (.290, 16, 73) is ready to play again. He last played in a game on August 9 and has been in "unknown" return status for the better part of a month. The current guy I have there is utility man Mansanori Hattori (.233, 1, 8), who doesn't hit like a first baseman but provides a good glove there at least. John Timonen (see above) is also mostly just keeping the shortstop position warm for Jordan Green (.275, 4, 23) but is such an awesome fielder that even with only 77 starts to his name this year he still has an outside chance to win his 5th Gold Glove. He's even been less than completely awful with the stick this season. Oh, who am I fooling? He's still awful; he's just been more awful in the past. In 1968 he was basically the Ray Oyler of this save, hitting .152 over the course of a full season for Houston with a league-high 143 Ks. The Stros did not, as noted, replace him with a center fielder down the stretch. Outfielder: Outfield is the place where Houston has stayed pretty well injury free and all three starters made the All-Star Game this year. Needless to say, none of those guys are getting swapped out down the final stretch of the season. September 20: With the season winding down, the Washington Senators just lost their 80th... Code:
Team Name W L % STR GB R HR AVG SB ERA HR/9 BB/9 K/9 PCT ZR Att Washington Senators 70 80 .467 W1 18½ 593 91 .250 112 3.31 0.8 3.3 5.5 .980 44.3 889,708 Rotation: Currently everyone in the rotation is 28 or younger and has an ERA of 3.60 or younger. It bodes well for the future and I see no reason to pull anyone for the last couple weeks. Bullpen: Closer Willis Chavez (3-9, 2.54, 18 Sv) does it with smoke and mirrors, only minus the smoke, but because it's 1970 I'm going to trust the ERA over the underwater K/BB ratio (41/45). He'll get another couple weeks plus let's face it next year to melt down. There are otherwise some kind of bad players out there so... yeah. 1971 will be fun. Infield: There's no particular reason why 41 year old John Skelton (.291, 21, 81) wound up being the everyday guy at first over Nick DeBoer (.268, 7, 34) other than he's the new hotness and, well, you have to start someone. Skelton's 41 but he is a solid guy in the heart of the order so I haven't and won't spell him with prospects. Outfield: The true big move was cutting ties with OF Sebastiano Veneziano (.228, 7, 53). Veneziano was an All-Star last year but came back down to Earth and the baseball gods wanted some blood so I had to oblige. Part of that means that if OF Bill Swan (.201, 9, 14) was going to have anyone cutting into his time, that person is gone now. Love to see Swan hit a little in the clutch but hey, he's 24.

AMERICAN LEAGUE STANDINGS East W L PCT GB New York Yankees 94 66 .588 - Cleveland Indians 93 66 .585 .5 Boston Red Sox 91 69 .569 3.0 Baltimore Orioles 77 81 .487 16.0 Washington Senators 75 83 .475 18.0 Detroit Tigers 68 91 .428 25.5 West W L PCT GB Minnesota Twins 90 69 .566 - California Angels 85 73 .538 4.5 Oakland Athletics 77 81 .487 12.5 Chicago White Sox 74 84 .468 15.5 Milwaukee Brewers 71 88 .447 19.0 Kansas City Royals 57 101 .361 32.5 NATIONAL LEAGUE STANDINGS East W L PCT GB Chicago Cubs 90 68 .570 - Pittsburgh Pirates 90 69 .566 .5 Philadelphia Phillies 87 71 .551 3.0 New York Mets 75 83 .475 15.0 St. Louis Cardinals 75 84 .472 15.5 Montreal Expos 54 105 .340 36.5 West W L PCT GB Cincinnati Reds 97 63 .606 - Houston Astros 92 66 .582 4.0 Atlanta Braves 81 79 .506 16.0 Los Angeles Dodgers 75 83 .475 21.0 San Francisco Giants 72 86 .456 24.0 San Diego Padres 64 95 .403 32.5 Over in the NL, it is again the West that has things all wrapped up; in fact, Cincinnati has clinched the best record in baseball. They lost today so they won't win 100 but it's a small disappointment in the grand scheme of things. The Reds have made the postseason one other time in the history of their franchise, when they lost the World Series in 1960. The East is a real battleground, with the Cubs relying on hitting and, lately, some suspiciously obtained relief pitching, versus the Pirates, who have an absolutely ravaged lineup but the best pitching in all of baseball. Philadelphia is still mathematically in this but they're going to need to sweep their series against the Expos (the easy part of this) and then have both the Cubs and Pirates lose their series vs the Mets and Cardinals, respectively. Both of those are on the road so it's not insurmountable, I guess, but there are a lot of moving parts here. Power Rankings ----------------- Code:

The real-life version of this was Hoyt Wilhelm, who made the All-Star Game this season, was pushed over to the Cubs in similarly shady circumstances, and was then "traded" back in December. I guess we'll see if I remember to hold up the second half of that! September 23: The Orioles traded minor league 2B Ian Reeder (.264, 5, 21 at AAA Rochester) to the White Sox for P William Hart (12-9, 3.21 at AAA Tucson). This may stretch the definition of "major" but this was a trade listed, so... Reeder did play for the O's in 1969 but was the odd man out this year. He's a decent fielder and Chicago has need of guys who can play in the infield. Hart hasn't played in the bigs yet but should get a shot next year, if not out of spring training then soon afterwards I'd have to think. News ----------------------- September 21: Palestinian armed forces reinforce guerillas in Irbidi, Jordan. September 21: Orioles SP Yen-Ti Wei (7-10, 3.68) got an injury diagnosis today that might not technically be a career-ender but may as well be for all intents and purposes. Wei tore his rotator cuff, an injury that takes 12 months to return from. That means he's shut down for the rest of 1970 of course but he's also going to miss all of 1971. Dude's 36; it may be over. If so, Wei finishes his career with a record of 118-119 and a 3.70 ERA. September 21: 36 year old 2B Jesus Martinez, 2 games into his Montreal Expos career, is demanding a "trade". Reality therapy, man. Well, have fun being a free agent, I guess? Martinez did get 216 at-bats for Boston in 1969 so I guess there's an outside chance he'll see major league action again. September 21: Twins RF Lou Morgenstern (.237, 17, 62) won the AL Player of the Week this week, hitting .444 (12 for 27) with 2 HR and 4 RBI. Morgenstern is a guy who turns it on in September; he's won the POTY 4 times in his career and the last 3 times have come after Labor Day. September 21: On the NL side of ledger, Cubs LF Jason Workman (.317, 44, 129) has been on fire lately and was rewarded with the POTY. I mean, he might just win the MVP this year, but OK. He went 13 for 31 (.419) with an amazing 6 HR and 12 RBIs. He's now tied with Astros RF Jaden Weaver (.253, 44, 124) in dingers and leads the senior circuit in RBI. September 21: The Red Sox leaned into their spoiler role today, knocking off the Indians 9-2 in the first game of a 3 game series at Fenway Park. Justin Kindberg (22-12, 2.41), who has a won-lost record indicative of a team that is leaning on him heavily, pitched a 6 hitter and at that 2 of the hits (and one of the runs) came in the 9th, well after the game had been decided. SS Oniji Handa (.284, 24, 87) went 3 for 4 with 4 RBIs after struggling for most of the past 2 months in the cleanup role. For the Indians, workhorse Dylan Hamilton (16-14, 3.78) got knocked out of the box in the 4th, and - here's a thing you won't see in the papers! - 5 of the 8 guys in the lineup today were either yellow or orange level tired. I'll check back in with the percentages after I play the Yankees game (against the Senators, ugh). September 21: With a shot at posting a 1 game lead in the AL East, the Yankees blew it. Obe Olthof (20-10, 3.21) put the team into a 4-0 deficit in the 7th and New York just barely couldn't get all the way out of it, losing 4-3. 22 year old wunderkind Bruce Rubio (6-2, 2.04) got the Senators into the 7th and eventually Willis Chavez (3-9, 2.48) earned his 19th save of the season by largely shutting the Bronx Bombers down after he entered in the 8th. Perhaps more devastating than the L for the Yanks was that Ty Stover broke his foot while breaking up a double play and will be out for at least the rest of the regular season. September 21: The Angels made up ground on the Twins with a 7-4 victory. CF Jim Coleman (.298, 2, 8) rapped a 3 RBI double as part of a 7 run 5th and Bubba Touchton (8-5, 3.61) earned his 9th save by taking over for Andy Ring (9-14, 4.32) in the 8th after the latter gave up a grand slam homerun to Twins 3B Mike Brookes (.269, 39, 112). Victor Ruiz (8-8, 4.94) was knocked out of the box in the 5th for the loss; I was very tempted to replace him in the rotation with Rich Whetzel (3-1, 3.16), but the 25 year old is suffering through an abdominal strain at literally the worst possible time. The Angels' tragic number stays at 5 with this one and they move to 5 games back. September 21: In the first game of a pivotal series between the Reds and Astros, Cincinnati LF Junior Cannon (.281, 27, 96) blew a 2-2 deadlock open in the bottom of the 8th with a 3 run HR off of starter Caleb McDonald (13-6, 2.82) and handed Joe Hagan (19-12, 4.25) his 19th victory of the season. "I'm the straw the stirs the drink", said an exuberant Cannon after the game. With this, the Reds pull 2 games up on the Astros with 7 left to play (the Astros have 9). September 22: In what must undoubtedly be the most important news I've ever broken here, the International Hydrographic Organization was founded. September 22: The day that SS Tyler Webster (.226, 16, 55) returned to the team, the Pirates received word that the injury 1B Abilio Valdivia (.282, 12, 57) suffered on the 19th was a torn hamstring that will leave him out for the season. Ian Swerdlove (.224, 2, 10) has been struggling to fill Valdivia's shoes but he'll be asked to keep going for the last 8 games (plus the playoffs in the unlikely event the Pirates get that far). September 22: Cardinals P Cody Hunter (1-0, 5.59 at Montreal), who hasn't even played a game for the Cardinals this season, is demanding a trade. Like, dude, you have no leverage. I'm just going to ignore it. September 22: The AL East gets as close as it's ever gotten. The Red Sox took down the Indians 4-3 thanks to a 6-hitter by Marco Sanchez (12-10, 3.14) and a 2 run double by LF Josh Teague (.235, 17, 50) in the 7th. With a chance to take sole possession of first place, the Yankees faltered against Washington Senators prospect Aaron Cellini (3-1, 2.77), who threw a 4 hit (8 walk!) shutout to help his team squeak by with a 1-0 victory. Cleveland and New York are on top of the division with identical 90-65 records; Boston is now 89-66. September 22: The Angels keep turning back fate, blowing up a 5-5 tie in the 11th inning to beat the Twins in Minnesota for the second straight day. Both sides carried leads late in regular frames, with California starter Jordan Irons (12-6, 2.56) dropping a 4-3 lead to exit down 5-4 and then Twins closer Pete Lynn (10-9, 3.30, 16 saves) blowing the save for the 8th time this year. Lynn stayed in because I'm stubborn (and because that's basically the strategy at the time) but in fairness to him, 5 of the 6 runs the Angels scored in the top of the 11th were unearned thanks to two errors by SS Dong-hak Park (.199, 1, 12), who, let's just say, is not in there for his bat. The Angels closed to 4 back with this; their playoff chances have quintupled in the last two games (from 0.3% to 1.5%). September 22: Speaking of extras, the Reds needed 10 to get by the Astros 2-1, but doing so puts them 3 games up in the standings with a magic number of 5. Reds starter Tom Bertan (19-9, 3.79) left the game for a pinch-hitter in the 9th and is frustratingly stuck on 19 wins with 3 no-decisions in his last 4 outings. He pitched Aaron Shepard (9-6, 3.33) even during that time and then the latter simply tired in the 10th, eventually walking substitute 1B Fidelio Guerrero (.268, 1, 8) with the bases loaded for the game-loser. With a sweep tomorrow, Cincinnati can all but wrap up the division. September 22: Phillies SP Marius Gaddi (26-4, 2.39) tied the modern major league record with his 26th victory in an easy 8-3 win over the Mets. The mark, which was initially set in 1955 by Dodger superstar Jeff Borden (lifetime 239-149, 2.83), is now, at least equalled. Gaddi, whose previous high was 14 victories, has some pretty huge shoes to fill. September 23: Welp, it's that time of the year. Braves backup C Pablo Rey (.164, 0, 6) told me he's retiring at the end of the year. Rey, in fairness, has been really, really bad this year, but right now the incumbent/heir apparent, Andres Gamez (.087, 0, 1) is... well, you can see that batting line. Atlanta's going to be in a very, very bad way for catching next season. September 23: Red Sox P Sandy Hinojosa (20-11, 2.94) becomes the 7th pitcher this season to break the 20 victory mark this season as Boston completes the 3 game sweep of the Indians with a 6-3 win. Hinojosa went all the way; his 9 complete games are the 35 year old's highest since 1964. On the losing end was Cleveland's own ace, Josh Matthews (21-8, 2.98), who was knocked out in the 7th after allowing all 6 of the Red Sox' runs. The Indians and Bosox now hold identical 90-66 records and the Yankees once again face the Washington Senators with a chance of taking sole possession of the AL East. September 23: The White Sox capped off a completely insane 5 game, 3 day series with a 10-1 walloping of the Royals. Tim Anderlik (14-9, 3.13) took home the win and now leads Chicago in that category. At 73-81 they can still just barely finish .500 this year if they somehow manage to win their last 8 games; those games come against the Twins and Angels so it seems unlikely. September 23: The Yankees fiiiinally managed to put one over on the Senators, 3-2, to not get swept by the cellar-dwellers, and even that took them 10 innings. Either way, they're now a game up in the East. Tracy Mosher (23-12, 2.62) broke his own Yankees record in wins in this one. His 10 strikeouts also place him 4 back of Ben Brown's 1958 mark of 237 for the Bombers' all-time best (Brown was 18-11 and 2.64 that year, by the way; the Yankees as a team went 100-54 and won the World Series). The Yankees also finally are ranked the favorites to win the East, although at that they have a 48.1% chance, so the combined chances of the two teams in back of them are still greater. September 23: It was a real marquee pitching matchup at Riverfront Stadium that turned out pretty much exactly the way everyone hoped it would. Well, everyone outside of Houston anyway. Cy Young contender Steve Waiters (25-6, 2.47) became the 4th person in modern baseball history to hit the quarter-century mark in wins as he outdueled Astros ace Tony Rivera (17-11, 2.74) to a 1-0 victory. The lone run in this one came in the 6th as LF Junior Cannon (.279, 27, 98) slapped a single in the 6th to bring in SS Mike Wendt (.265, 14, 67). The win completes a sweep and puts the Reds 4 games up on the Astros with 5 to play. The Reds' magic number is now 3. September 23: Braves ace George House (21-8, 2.70) pitched his first game in more than a year and it was like he never left. House, who had been laid up on the DL with a torn tendon in his elbow since September of last year, came back and threw 7 strong innings, being lifted for a pinch-hitter only as a precaution in a 10-4 blowout of the San Diego Padres. 3B Vicente Luna (.283, 13, 39) and 1B Dante Chairez (.292, 32, 94) homered to help out House in this one. September 23: The Cubs gave the Pirates an opening and the Pirates walked right on through. The Pirates squeaked by the lowly Expos 3-2 with a game-winning single in the 9th by CF Justin Hearl (.278, 0, 31); Paz Lemus (8-7, 1.96), who is now in "pitch whenever it's late and close" mode now, got the W. This game became meaningful when the Cubs dropped both ends of a doubleheader at Busch Stadium to the Cards, 5-4 and 10-1. St. Louis won the first game in the bottom of the 9th after their own closer Rick Legere (5-2, 3.38, 10 Sv) blew his 4th save in the top of the 9th. SS Jason Wicker (.255, 4, 30) hit a bases loaded single in the bottom of the inning to bring it home. The second game, Cubs starter Jason Sanders (14-6, 2.87) left early with back issues and a 4-1 deficit. The Pirates are now just 1/2 game in back of the Cubs and the oddsmakers even give them a very slight edge in the pennant race, 46.1% to 42.0% (with the Phillies, who have yet to play today, with an 11% chance of their own). September 24: It seems like this is the week for sweeps because the Angels wrapped up a 3-gamer against the Twins with a 4-1 win. Gary Bruno (15-8, 2.83) scattered 7 hits for the complete game win (he lost a shutout in the 9th) and 1B Nelson Vargas (.315, 11, 78) broke the game open with an RBI triple in the 8th. The Twins are still 3 games up with 7 to play with a magic number of 5, but the 4% chance the game gives the Angels of catching up is approximately 3.6% higher than it was a couple days ago. September 24: Braves RF and future HOFer Henry Riggs (.279, 40, 106) became the 6th player in the NL to join the 40 HR club this year in a 4-3 win against the Padres. Riggs is the modern leader with 479 lifetime HRs and is on pace to get to 500 some time next year. September 24: The Cubs seem dead set on blowing this. They dropped a bad one 10-2 to the Cardinals today and, after struggling for much of the month (which they should have done since they've been without their entire infield for a big chunk of the month), the Padres rode a 5-hitter by Santos Arango (18-9, 2.82) to beat the Expos 3-0 and take a half-game lead in the NL East. Bill Lucas (12-17, 4.45) got knocked out in the 5th inning of the Cubs game; he won 23 games last year but has fallen apart late (he's 1-4 in September with an 8.22 ERA). The oddsmakers now give the Pirates a 69.8% chance of winning the division. Wow! September 26: Tom Bertan (20-9, 3.69) won #20 and puts the Reds on the brink of a division championship. The Reds never trailed in this game against the Dodgers, which they won 4-1. 1B Stephen Clark (.256, 16, 84) hit an RBI single in the 4th that turned out to be the game-winner off of Dodgers starter Fernando Apolonio (13-16, 3.59), who has been the victim of, well, let's face it, the Dodgers offense all season long. The Reds' magic number is 1 going into the Astros game today. September 26: The Cubs thwarted Marius Gaddi's (26-5, 2.31) attempt to set the new modern record in wins and in so doing, officially knocked the Phillies out of the playoff race. Gaddi pitched very well, scattering 8 hits over 9 innings and allowing just 1 unearned run, but Javy Obregon (4-3, 3.96), who was filling in with both Jose Zarate (11-3, 1.96) and Jason Sanders (14-6. 2.87) nursing injuries, was just a little bit better. He threw a 10 hit shutout and left the bases loaded in the 9th to pick up both his first complete game and shutout of 1970 (actually the shutout is the first of his career). September 26: The above looks like a very fateful win for the Cubs right now, as the Mets played the spoiler role and knocked down the Pirates 4-3 to push the Cubs back on top of the NL East. Benito Diaz (4-5, 3.33), recently acquired from the Cleveland Indians, pitched 7 quality innings before giving the ball to New York stopper Geoff Saus (3-2, 3.72, 26 Sv). Carlos Torres (13-7, 3.76) was the unhappy loser for Pittsburgh, who is now half a game back and have "only" a 52% chance to win now per OOTP. September 26: ...and the NL West race is officially over. In a game that could only be played in the Launching Pad, the Astros blew a 10-6 lead and watched their 1970 playoff hopes get eclipsed in an 11-10 loss to the Braves. RF Jaden Weaver (.254, 47, 129) hit his MLB leading 47th HR in the loss. Houston were the masters of this division in the summer months but struggled in September - 11-14 so far - while the Reds got red hot, with a 36-17 record from August 1 onward. Even with the late swoon this has to be considered a wildly successful year for the Astros, who, before 1969, had never won more than 73 games or finished higher than 8th. Cincinnati, incidentally, has reached the playoffs for the first time since 1960, when they lost the World Series in 6 games to the New York Yankees. September 27: Richard Nixon begins a tour of Europe. September 27: Should the Cubs win the NL East, they'll have to make do in the playoffs without, arguably, their best starter, as Jose Zarate (11-3, 1.96) was diagnosed with elbow inflammation that most likely keep him unavailable for the rest of the season and the postseason. "It's been my dream to win the World Series all by myself," a dejected Zarate told the press, "and now I'll have to wait another year." September 27: The Yankees officially knocked the Red Sox out of the playoffs today with a 4-3 win over the Tigers that put them at 94-66. The Red Sox, at 90-69, can't win more than 93 now. They got Tracy Mosher (24-12, 2.65) to pitch his 3rd straight victory; I've been talking a lot about Marius Gaddi in Philadelphia this year but it should be mentioned that Mosher just tied the modern AL record for wins today himself (Carlos Villalpando was 24-6 in 1965 with the Orioles). They're 1/2 game up on Cleveland but BNN still gives the Indians the edge this year because the Tribe's final 3 games are at Detroit whereas the Yanks have to match up against those Bosox they just knocked out. September 27: The Brewers played the spoiler at the Big A, knocking off the Angels 6-1 and ending their playoff hopes. Cris Olivares (8-11, 3.87) went all the way, allowing just 6 hits, and 3B Francisco Martinez (.310, 5, 58) knocked in 2 with a 5th inning double to put Milwaukee ahead for good. The Brewers' final series this year sees them hosting the Twins; that series was looking potentially meaningful but now of course it is not. Teams In Review ----------------- It's too late in the year for these. I'm not really big on doing big sitdowns for 8 whole games or like 1-2 starts for pitchers.

O'Leary had a very rough season where he acquired and then lost the stopper role for Los Angeles. Dingers were a huge issue for him this year, as he allowed 13 of them in just 76.2 innings. Maybe he'll be able to cut down on them next year in spacious Busch Stadium, although Dodger Stadium is not exactly a bandbox so I guess we'll see. News ----------------------- September 28: Anwar Sadat is named temporary President of Egypt following the sudden death of Gamal Abdel Nasser by a heart attack. September 28: Red Sox 1B Mike Miller (.299, 30, 88) probably won't win the MVP this year (I mention this because he won in '68) but he did pick up the AL Player of the Week award for the 6th time in his career. The 26 year old went 12 for 23 with 3 HRs and 8 RBIs in a gallant but ultimately futile effort to lead his team to an AL East division title. September 28: The NL Player of the Week is a new kid who looks like he's going to be here for a while. Cardinals 3B Mike Galeana (.391, 7, 16) has been everything his team could possibly want out of a September call-up. He went 11 for 23 this week with 2 HRs and 5 RBIs. The late-blooming 26 year old hit 37 HRs in the minors before getting the call, so he's currently tied with Cubs LF Jason Workman (.313, 44, 133) for the 2nd highest total in all of baseball (Astros RF Jaden Weaver (.253, 47, 129) is first of course). September 28: The fall is complete. The Oakland A's, who were still in the AL West race as of the beginning of the month, lost their 82nd game today and clinched their 3rd straight losing season and 5th in their last 6 years. It didn't seem like it was going to be this way this year in spite of back-to-back 100 loss seasons in '68 and '69 but the A's are 8-21 in September and seem to just want to go home. September 29: In Berlin, members of the far left militant organizaton the Red Army Faction (also known as the Bader-Meinhoff Group) robbed three banks, taking away money in excess of 200,000 Deutche Marks. September 29: The Yankees are really scraping the bottom of the barrel at shortstop now, as they learned today that Mike Armand (.214, 1, 8) broke his rib and will miss all of the playoffs. Armand was already filling in for Ty Stover (.274, 28, 97), who has not played since the 21st due to a fractured foot of his own and is not expected to be ready to go until the World Series (should, of course, the Yankees make it that far). For now, Pat Jones (.258, 6, 42), who last played significant time at short in 1968, will move over to the position with Wing-Fung Yi (.209, 4, 39) taking over at second. September 29: Speaking of the Yankees, they left things wide open for the Indians to take over first but both clubs dropped 1-run thrillers, so we're in basically the same place we were a few hours ago. The Flying Dutchman Ole Olthof (21-11, 3.27) lost his 5th game in his last 6 starts as Red Sox ace Justin Kindberg (23-13, 2.43) and an on-point Boston bullpen outpitched him in a 3-2 decision. But then Indians starter Dylan Hamilton (17-15, 3.84), who himself is only 6-6 with an ERA well north of 4 since August, got chased in the 4th inning and left the Tribe in a 6-0 deficit that they just couldn't quite scrape their way out of, losing 6-5. BNN still gives Cleveland a 56% chance of winning out but the Indians are funning out of time. September 29: A day after all the pennant games in the NL were close, today... not so much. The Pirates inched ahead of the Cubs by blowing out the Cardinals 14-3. RF Brian Jackson (.322, 5, 101) tied the Pittsburgh record for most RBIs in a game with 7. This became super meaningful (I mean, I guess every game at this point is super meaningful) because the Cubs got destroyed by the Mets, 18-5. It was like New York let out all of their frustration in one game. Philly won as well, 4-3, but I just noticed that they're only playing 161 games this season so, at 88-71, the most games they can win is 90. Both the Cubs and Pirates have 91. They're 2 1/2 games out with 2 to play. TBF OOTP didn't notice they'd been knocked out either. September 30: When the Yankees play the Red Sox, you can pretty much set the records aside. Today, Boston played like a team that hadn't just been eliminated from playoff contention, coming back from a 6-5 deficit to win it in the bottom of the 9th on a 1B Mike Miller (.301, 31, 93) homerun off of Yankees ace Jesse Kelly (9-5, 3.01). This ends the Yankees' season with a 94-68 record and so they'll have to wait for tomorrow's results. Cleveland won today 4-2, which puts them at 94-67. An Indians loss tomorrow forces a one-game playoff (which I think I've seen one other time in all of my OOTP history) while a win clinches back-to-back division titles for them. September 30: Twins SP Angelo Ramos (20-2, 2.41) notched his 20th victory to cap off a Cy Young quality season. I haven't run the numbers but I think the fact that he missed more than a month will be outweighed by the fact that pretty much everyone who didn't fell off kind of hard in September. We'll see! September 30: Both the Pirates and Cubs lost today, meaning the NL West will be decided on the final day... or later. The Cubs fell to the Mets 6-4 thanks to a 2-run rally in the 8th off of Freddy Uscanga (8-5, 4.03). Since the Cubs' entire bullpen was brought together under very shady circumstances (like, Jon Winn (4-4, 1.59) was literally a waiver wire pickup), I am enjoying this even though I can't see any way the Pirates do anything in the NLCS. Speaking of, they were able to muster just 2 runs in a 5-2 loss to the Cardinals where they never led. St. Louis LF Lorenzo Martinez (.251, 44, 108) hit 2 HRs in this one, which would have put him within reach of the title (maybe not really) except that Astros RF Jaden Weaver (.256, 48, 132) hit one out in the Astros' 4-2 win over the Giants today himself. September 30: They were KO'd yesterday (or the day before, I'm not sure?) but the Phillies gave everyone a glimpse of what might have been this playoff season with a 5-2 win over the Expos. Marius Gaddi (27-5, 2.31) set the modern MLB record in wins, pitching 8 innings and allowing 2 runs on 8 hits with 7 Ks (he is and will almost certainly finish 3rd in the NL in strikeouts), and then yielded to Tom Grohs (9-5, 2.42. 20 Sv) in the 9th. Victor Serna (.224, 37, 107) also homered. Serna's 37 is the 2nd most in Phillies' history (David Decker hit 39 in 1955) and his 107 RBIs are 2nd most by a guy not named David Decker (Angel Ochoa drove in 108 runners in 1964 although Decker holds the top 4 single-season totals for Philly, including the all-time mark of 127 he set in 1954). October 1: Cardinals SP Vince Bachler (11-12, 3.38) won the final Rookie of the Month award this season and has a decent case for ROY (although I haven't looked at the field at all as I'm saying this). He went 4-1 in September with 42 Ks in 44 IP. Still just 24, the 9th overall pick out of Lynn University in 1969 had just 4 starts above AA before being called up this year. October 1: The AL Rookie of the Month is a guy I'm much more confident in thinking he'll be ROY - Chicago White Sox SP Tim Anderlik (15-9, 3.03), who went 3-2 with a 2.17 ERA in 6 September starts. We think Raul Mendoza (14-14, 3.78) has been around the league long enough to be the odds-on favorite as the White Sox' Opening Day starter in 1971 but anything could happen. October 1: If the Pirates do pull the division out, they can thank P Santos Arango (19-9, 2.80), who carried the Bucs with a 6-1 record and a 1.40 ERA to win the NL Pitcher of the Month award. His 19 wins ties his career high - he was 19-14 in 1966 - and he's got a tiny outside chance of being ready to go if the Pirates need him for a one-game playoff. October 1: The AL Pitcher of the Month had his greatness come to naught, unfortunately, but Red Sox starter Marco Sanchez (12-11, 3.21) turned around what was looking like a bad season with a 5-1 record and 53 Ks over 8 starts and 60 innings, good enough for a 1.95 ERA. Coming off of 14-5 and 15-4 seasons, this still looks like a step back, but one should consider that Sanchez was 5-10 and 3.71 coming into the month. October 1: Cubs' 1B Antonio Lopez (.300, 28, 113) willed himself back into the MVP race and also kept the Cubs in the fight for the NL East by hitting .325 with 8 of his 28 HRs and almost a quarter of his RBI (25) for September. This was enough to win him the NL Batter of the Month award. This is the second time in the 24 year old's career that he's won it, the other time being for May of '69. October 1: These will be largely forgotten since they came up short, but in addition to Sanchez above, Red Sox fans got to see 1B Mike Miller (.301, 31, 93) put on a show of his own in September, a good enough show to win Batter of the Month for the junior circuit. Miller hit .345 (39 hits in 113 at-bats) with 22 runs, 20 RBI, and a .403 on-base percentage. This is his 6th Batter of the Mont award and first since July of last year. October 1: Welp, one of the divisions are headed to a one-game playoff. The Indians dropped a winnable 4-3 game to the Tigers to extend the season by a game. Detroit SP Edgar Molina (13-16, 3.69) had things going today just well enough to eke out a complete game victory, leaving the tying run in scoring position in the 9th. RF Tommy Pron (.327, 7, 69) made his only out of the game the final one; he finished the day 3 for 4 with a homerun. The game hasn't been scheduled yet but I'm pretty sure the Yankees and Indians play tomorrow to decide it all. October 1: In Philadelphia, the final game was played at Connie Mack Stadium, a 9-7 loss by the hometown Phils. The fans began to trickle in in the bottom of the 8th when a rosin bag was stolen from the pitching mound. Pinch-hitter Luis Martinez (.261, 6, 24) and CF Joel Schaben (.274, 5, 45) both blasted HRs over the 32 foot wall in right and, as LF Paul Stewart (.298, 14, 62) flew out to short center to end the game, the fans swarmed onto the field and destroyed it and the stadium looting souvenirs. A post-game ceremony with 67 prizes to be awarded was canceled. October 1: One division that will NOT go to a playoff is the NL East. The Cubs lost and the Pirates won to end the race with those teams a game apart. The Cubs, utilizing Scott Coffey (8-7, 3.80), fell behind 3-2 in the 6th thanks to a 2 run blast by 1B Joshua Waltenbery (.296, 19, 83) and could do nothing else but watch as the Mets' bullpen wrapped things up for the final two innings. In St. Louis, Pirates' ace Jeremy Battaglia (18-9, 2.74) saw that Paz Lemus (8-8, 2.09, 26 Sv) was tired after having been used for multiple innings the night before and so he took matters into his own hands, going all the way to secure a 4-3 victory over the Cardinals. LF Justin Lawson (.280, 21, 93) drove in the game-winning run with a 2-run blast off of starter Jimmy Macauley (17-12, 3.55). This win caps a 38-20 run from August 1 to the end of the season and marks the first time ever that the Pirates have gotten to play in the postseason. I don't see any way they get past the Reds given the current state of their offense but then I didn't think they had much of a chance against the Cubs either. The Cubs, by the way, don't have the Curse of the Goat in this run; they won the World Series in both 1955 and 1961. So don't feel too bad for the northsiders! Teams In Review ----------------- The season's over, suckas!

October 2 - One game playoff
Team Overviews
--------------------- October 2: We've got a one-game playoff between the Yankees and Indians. New York Yankees The Yankees enter this game with a 94-68 record. They last made the playoffs in 1967, the last year of a 3-year pennant run. They've never gotten really bad in the 2 years in between, although last year's 88-73 felt like the dynasty was perhaps over. But now here they are anyway. Shows what I know! The Bronx Bombers led all of the AL in runs (806) thanks to leading the league in homeruns (181) and posting the best OBP (.348). Pitching-wise, they weren't the Cubs but... they weren't *not* the Cubs. 7th in the AL in ERA (3.67) and 8th in starter ERA (3.83) isn't really what you'd expect from a 94 win team. The Yankees made several changes to their rotation during the season and it still feels a little in flux. Cleveland Indians Cleveland finished, of course, with an identical 94-68 record. They kind of stumbled into the gate, with a 15-14 record from September 1 onwards. They of course won the pennant last year for the AL; prior to that, they had a 5 year run in the early 50s where they won pennants 4 times and the World Series twice. They were 2nd in runs in the AL to the Yankees (751) but built their offense on average (.280, 1st in the AL) more than power... but with a good amount of power as well (153 HRs, 3rd). Defensively, the pitching finished... good, if not transcendental (3.42, 5th). Their bullpen is middle of the pack statistically but on personal feelings basis, they're a bit of a roller coaster ride. Major Transactions --------------------- None News -------------------- October 2: An airplane carrying most of the Witchita State University football team crashes, killing 31 of the 37 passengers. Game Infos -------------------- Pregame: The game is to be played at the Mistake on the Lake, Cleveland Municipal Stadium. It has played as a hitter's park this year and favoring right-handed hitters at that. Tracy Mosher (24-12, 2.66) takes the mound for the Yankees. Mosher led the league in wins, innings pitched (314.2), and complete games (19), and was among the tops in strikeouts (239, 3rd), shutouts (6, tied for 2nd), and ERA (2.66, 7th). Mosher is one of the sturdiest starters in the game and combines above average stuff with pinpoint control (1.8 BB/9) to get to you. The Indians expended all of their top starters to get this far and so are forced to start a rookie: Jose Martinez (1-0, 2.14). Don't let the record fool you: Martinez had a 46/9 K/BB ratio in only 33.2 innings and mostly just got unlucky with decisions. He throws high 90s heat. Top First: CF Micah MacMillan (.254, 14, 61) gets things started off with an infield single. Jose Martinez then walks 3B Tom Weiss (.304, 22, 80). 1B Alex Canales (.297, 31, 98) flies to left, with MacMillan advancing to 3rd on the play. RF Franklin Meneses (.260, 31, 89) grounds to first base, driving in MacMillan. LF Dan Field (.294, 18, 85) flies to center. Yankees 1, Indians 0 Bottom First: CF Carlos Hernandez (.298, 13, 57) leads off with a single up the middle. SS John Johnson (.341, 7, 60) pops out in foul territory right in front of the hitting circle. LF Alonzo Huanosta (.348, 20, 92) flies to center. 1B Kyle Kelver (.292, 16, 73) grounds out 4-3 to retire the side. Yankees 1, Indians 0 Top Second: C Khalil Tabb (.268, 7, 64) grounds out to second. SS Pat Jones (.253, 6, 42) - the third string shortstop at this point (he's normally a second baseman) strikes out. 2B Wing-Fung Yi (.206, 4, 39) also strikes out. Yankees 1, Indians 0 Bottom 2nd: RF Tommy Pron (.328, 8, 70) hits an "oppo taco" (I hate myself) into the left field stands to tie it up. 3B Roberto Hernandez (.264, 15, 66) grounds out to 3rd. 2B TJ Pritchett (.256, 18, 64) draws a walk, his 100th on the year. C Jason Zimmerman (.183, 1, 13), who got the nod against the tough lefty Mosher, pops out. P Jose Martinez hits a weak roller that is scooped up by the catcher and is retired 2-3. Yankees 1, Indians 1 Top 3rd: Tracy Mosher launches a ball to the right field warning track, where Tommy Pron tracks it down. MacMillan grounds to second. Tom Weiss grounds out 2-3. Yankees 1, Indians 1 Bottom 3rd: Carlos Hernandez grounds out to 3rd. Johnson grounds to 2nd. Huanosta grounds to second. Yankees 1, Indians 1 Top 4th: Cardenas strikes out. Meneses slaps a base hit the other way, just past SS Johnson. Dan Field drops one into the left field stands, a 2 run homerun. Jose Martinez strikes out. Khalil Tabb strikes out. Yankees 3, Indians 1 Bottom 4th: Kelver grounds out to second. Pron hits a curveball up the middle for his 2nd base hit of the game. Hernandez flies to center. Pritchett grounds to second. Yankees 3, Indians 1 Top 5th: Yi flies out to center. Mosher knocks a base hit into right. MacMillan flies to center. Tommy Weiss strikes out, the 6th K for Hernandez so far today. Yankees 3, Indians 1 Bottom 5th: Zimmerman strikes out - Mosher's first K all day. Hernandez is removed for PH Chris Fonseca (.391, 1, 4) - he was pitching well (except for the one mistake) but desperate times call for desperate measures. Fonseca drops a single into left field, and then steals second on the first pitch to Carlos Hernandez. Hernandez hits a towering flyball into center that Yankees CF Micah MacMillan loses in the lights. It comes down for an error, Fonseca scoring and Hernandez getting to second base. Johnson grounds to shortstop, freezing Hernandez on second base. Huanosta strikes out swinging. Yankees 3, Indians 2 Top 6th: The Indians turn to their 5th starter for the long relief gig, Malik Johnson (4-4, 3.48). Johnson throws sidearm and as such might be better suited to the bullpen; he did pretty well as a starter though. He's got decent stuff for a 24 year old and if he can avoid the longball (8 HRs in 72.1 IP) he's solidly above average. Cardenas knocks Johnson's first pitch back through the box for a single to center. Meneses hits his 32nd homerun of the year to give the Yankees a 3 run lead. Field strikes out swinging. Jones grounds out to second. Yi grounds out to an almost identical location, 4-3. Yankees 5, Indians 2 Bottom 6th: Kelver walks to lead off the inning. Tommy Pron slaps a base hit just past Pat Jones at shortstop for a single - maybe it's unfair but Jones is not a great shortstop in the best of times and he's nursing a strained Achilles tendon, which is surely hurting his range. Hernandez hits a high fly ball to left that looked like it had a chance for a second but comes down for the out. Pritchett hits a weak grounder back to the pitcher, who throws it to second to get Pron but the Indians right fielder upends Jones to break up the double play. Zimmerman is removed in favor of IF Tony Aguillon (.290, 3, 17), who gets under a ball to right just enough to give Meneses a chance to catch up to it. Yankees 5, Indians 2 Top 7th: Cesar Mexia (.111, 0, 0), the team's bullpen catcher for much of September, comes in to replace Zimmerman behind the plate. Jonathan House (.244, 10, 46) is still available but a. bats left and b. is tired after having played the last 6 games straight. Yi singles to right, but is gunned down at second on a caught stealing immediately. Mosher grounds out to shortstop. MacMillan strikes out. Yankees 5, Indians 2 Bottom 7th: OF Nick Miller (.262, 3, 19) enters the game as a pinch-hitter. The Indians lose the platoon advantage here, as Miller is a lefty, but hope that his ability to get on base (.367 OBP) makes up for it. The gamble pays off, as Miller singles to right. Hernandez lays down a very curious sacrifice bunt - not the call I'd make down by 3 (note: I control substitutions but let the AI handle everything else) - and it doesn't work, as Mosher gets the fielder's choice at second base instead. Johnson grounds out to Weiss but the ball is too slow to turn into a double play. Huanosta grounds out to short and the Indians are running out of time. Yankees 5, Indians 2 Top 8th: Joe Brda (2-2, 4.67, 7 Sv) takes the mound for Cleveland. He's not exactly great but he's who the Indians have installed as their stopper. He's had some issues with wildness - 27 walks in 52.2 innings over 27 games this year - but his biggest issue has been the longball, as he's given up 10 HRs. His big pitch is a fastball that gets up into the low 90s (note: radar gun tech was not as advanced as it is now and so scouts would point the gun at home plate instead of the pitcher; as a result, I'm lowering velocity around 4 mph in these reports). Weiss flies out to left. Cardenas whiffs. Meneses also strikes out swinging. Yankees 5, Indians 2 Bottom 8th: Mosher's cruising and hasn't even thrown 100 pitches yet. A guy with his stamina in the 70s can get to 150 pitches if I wanted to push him. Kelver lines out to left. Pron goes down on strikes, the 3rd K of the game for Mosher. Hernandez flies to center. Yankees 5, Indians 2 Top 9th: Field works Brda to a full count and then walks. Tabb strikes out; Brda has now gotten 3 of his 4 recorded outs by strikeout. On cue, Pat Jones singles to right. OF Ross Poynor (.282, 7, 29), a starter for the Yanks last year who was the odd man out this season, comes in to pinch-hit for Yi. He flies out to left. The Yankees make the decision to stick with Mosher, who hits a hard grounder right at 2B TJ Pritchett to retire the side. Yankees 5, Indians 2 Bottom 9th: IF German Ybarra (.200, 0, 2), a 23 year old who was mostly the starting SS at the Yankees' AA team in Manchester this year, comes in for Yi. He'll play shortstop with Pat Jones moving to his customary second base. Pritchett knocks a double down the left field line, his 15th of the season. Jonathan House comes in to pinch-hit for Cesar Mexia, who did not get a plate appearance today. Mosher handles House easily, striking him out on 4 pitches. CF Jorge Sanchez (.240, 2, 14), the final right-handed bat off the Indians' bench, comes on to pinch-hit for the pitcher. He belts a 2 run homerun to center to make it a 1 run ballgame. I'm sticking with Mosher. Hernandez hits a groundball deep in the hole at short. There's no way Pat Jones would have reached that one but Ybarra is there now and he throws out Hernandez by a step. Johnson hits a hard groundball to 3rd that Weiss is forced to eat for an infield hit. That gives Johnson 229 hits on the year, the 3rd highest total in modern history. Mosher lets one get away from him; the wild pitch puts the tying run in scoring position. However, Huanosta pops out to second base to end the Indians' season. FINAL: Yankees 5, Indians 2

October 3-4, 1970 (ALCS Game 1)
Team Overviews
--------------------- I think I'm going to publish these on a daily basis for the LCSes and the World Series. ALCS ----- Minnesota Twins: The Twins are the only champs the AL West has known, having won twice in the first 2 years of divisional play. It was a somewhat rocky road to get here. They've got the 3rd best offense in the AL, although it's pretty top-heavy. The pitching is also 3rd in the league although their #1 and #2 starters are both arguably in contention for the Cy Young this year. New York Yankees: We just saw the Yanks in the previous report. Nothing new about them! Major Transactions --------------------- News -------------------- October 3: The NOAA is formed. October 4: Twins LF Alejandro Cortes suffered a bruised elbow in today's game. He left the game today but will likely play through it. Game Infos -------------------- October 4: Twins @ Yankees The scheduling gods were not kind to New York, as they made the Yanks travel back from Cleveland to host the Twins. Minnesota has gotten a much-needed 2 days off. We're playing in Yankee Stadium, which as everyone already knows is a pitcher's park where it is damn near impossible for right-handed hitters to hit homeruns. That may not affect Minnesota as much as some teams, as their top HR guys are 2 lefties and a switch hitter. The Twins send Angelo Ramos (20-2, 2.41) to the mound. The 35 year old is a 9 time All-Star and 205 game winner who might just have won his first ever Cy Young Award. He led the league in ERA and the only reason it's a "might" is that injuries kept him out of the rotation for about a month and limited him to 29 starts this season. He is opposed by the Flying Dutchman, Obe Olthof (21-11, 3.27), a 25 year old who faded pretty badly down the stretch, finishing with a 3-5 record and 4.47 ERA in the month of September. It's probably just tiredness - his 36 starts and 261.1 innings were career highs - but I mean, it's not like he's gotten any more time to rest... Top 1st: Twins RF Lou Morgenstern (.239, 19, 72) coaxes a walk out of Olthof to lead off the game and then steals second. SS Danny Pellot (.257, 3, 25) flies out to short left field. 1B Angelo Martinez (.276, 35, 96) slaps a hard groundball down the first base line for a double, scoring Morgenstern. 3B Mike Brookes (.267, 39, 112) makes it back to back doubles as he scorches one into the right-center gap, bringing Martinez home. The Twins go back to back to back on doubles; this time it's LF Alejandro Cortez (.259, 24, 70) who knocks in Brookes. CF Jose Villasenor (.274, 12, 36) strikes out for the second out of the inning. C Brad Reed (.238, 18. 66) hits a BLOOPER to center that drops right in front of Micah MacMillan. Cortez scores all the way from 2nd. 2B Marty Mendel (.255, 0, 38) singles. Angelo Martinez strikes out but the ball gets away from C Khalil Tabb and he can't make the throw to first in time (isn't that supposed to be blocked when there's a runner already at first?). With the bases loaded and a chance to knock Obe Olthof out of this game, Lou Morgenstern flies to left field. Twins 4, Yankees 0 Bottom 1st: CF Micah MacMillan (I just posted these stats in the previous report; look at those, suckaaaa!) strikes out. 3B Tommy Weiss, who hit .341 against Minnesota this year in the regular season, flies out to left. 1B Antonio Cardenas strikes out swinging. Twins 4, Yankees 0 Top 2nd: Pellot strikes out. Martinez walks on 4 pitches. Brookes also walks. No question, Olthof is laboring early. Cortes flies to left. Villasenor pops out to shortstop. Twins 4, Yankees 0 Bottom 2nd: RF Franklin Meneses flies to left. LF Dan Field gets the Yankees' first hit of the game, a single to right. C Khalil Tabb hits the ball towards the hole at second, which Marty Mendel catches up to with easily enough time to turn the 4-6-3 double play. Twins 4, Yankees 0 Top 3rd: Brad Reed gets his 2nd hit in as many at-bats, a single up the middle. Marty Mendel grounds out to Wing-Fung Yi and the Yankees' 2B returns the favor Mendel delivered at the top of the inning by kickstarting a 4-6-3 DP of his own. Ramos strikes out. Twins 4, Yankees 0 Bottom 3rd: Jones Ks. Yi fouls out to first base. Olthof grounds to first. Twins 4, Yankees 0 Top 4th: Morgenstern hits a slow roller towards Pat Jones that he beats out for a base hit. Danny Pellot hits a much more decisive single to right that moves Morgenstern to third. Martinez hits a grounder back to the pitcher that he converts into a fielder's choice at second, Morgenstern remaining at third. Brookes lifts a 3-2 pitch into right, where it twists foul and is caught by Meneses for the out; however, Morgenstern tags up and scores on the play. Cortes strikes out looking. Twins 5, Yankees 0 Bottom 4th: MacMillan grounds out 3-1. Weiss hits a hard grounder to Pellot, who throws it to first but the ball ricochets off Martinez's glove for an error. Cardenas strikes out. Meneses singles to right, Weiss getting into 3rd on the play. Field flies out to right. Twins 5, Yankees 0 Top 5th: Villasenor strikes out swinging, the 6th K by Olthof. Reed flies to center. Mendel also flies to center. Twins 5, Yankees 0 Bottom 5th: Tabb Ks. Jones grounds to 3rd. Yi walks. Olthof is now at 100 pitches even and had a very rocky start but he seems to have settled down and it's only the 5th so I'll leave him in. He ekes out an infield hit. MacMillan flies to left. Twins 5, Yankees 0 Top 6th: Ramos - no question about leaving him in - singles to right to lead things off. Morgenstern hits a grounder to short but Ramos breaks up the double play opportunity (um, come on man... you're coming off of an injury). Danny Pellot grounds to the pitcher, who gets the force at second but the ball is hit way too slowly for a double play. Pellot takes second, putting a runner in scoring position with 2 outs. Tabb commits a passed ball. Martinez grounds out harmlessly to first base. Twins 5, Yankees 0 Bottom 6th: Weiss flies to center. Cardenas singles just past Martinez at first and into right field. Meneses belts it to deep right-center... but not quite deep enough, as Morgenstern catches it on the warning track. Field singles into right, Cardenas moving up 90 feet. Tabb singles into left, scoring Cardenas from 2nd. Back-to-back-to-back singles will do that. Cortes tweaks his elbow on the play and has to be removed. Since he's due up 2nd next inning, OF Mike Grigg (.299, 4, 31) takes his place. Jones singles, scoring Field. Ramos is getting nickeled and dimed to death all of the sudden. Yi gets under a 3-0 pitch and flies to right. Twins 5, Yankees 2 Top 7th: Olthof is due to lead off the next inning so I'll try and stretch him to 7 today. Brookes grounds to 2nd. Grigg strikes out looking, Olthof's 7th of the day. Villasenor flails at a circle change in the dirt and strikes out to retire the side. Twins 5, Yankees 2 Bottom 7th: Ross Poynor comes in to hit for Olthof, who finishes the day with 9 hits allowed in 7 innings for 5 earned runs with 3 walks and 8 strikeouts. Poynor hits one into left that falls for yet another cheap base hit. MacMillan lays down another pretty questionable bunt but this one at least works; Poyner is at second. Weiss makes contact with the first pitch he sees and hits it to short - Pellot throws him out by 3 steps. Cardenas hits a fliner into center that Villasenor makes a diving stop to turn the hit into an out. Twins 5, Yankees 2 Top 8th: With the bottom of the Twins order due up, I'm going to save Yankees stopper Jesse Kelly (9-5, 3.01, 26 Sv) and bring in screwballing lefthander Nate Herod (4-2, 2.96) instead. The scroogie means that Herod takes down righties (270/325/427 triple-slashes) almost as well as lefties (253/287/480). Reed hits what looks like a playable ground ball to short but Pat Jones can't keep up with it and it's an infield base hit. Marty Mendel hits a softer ball in Jones' direction, one which, frankly, looks like a good fielder would have a hard time with it. It's another infield hit. Angelo Ramos is due up next; he's only at 102 pitches and I know that all those hits he gave up in the last two innings were cheapo singles, so I'm going to leave him in (also he's probably as good at bunting as anyone I have on the bench). He sacrifies to the pitcher and moved Reed and Mendel to 2nd and 3rd. Morgenstern lifts a 3-2 pitch to right which is not quite deep enough to score the slowpoke Reed. Pellot makes it all academic by driving a 1-0 fastball into the left-field bleachers. Martinez makes it back to back jacks! And then Mike Brookes goes back to back to back! All right, it's clearly time to remove Nate Herod. It was probably time to remove him two batters ago, but, you know, once a game gets to 8-2 it's mop-up time and Herod seemed as able to perform those duties as anyone else... anyway, the new guy's going to be Will Wright (0-0, 1.17 at AA Manchester), who missed basically all of the season with an injury. He builds city simulators in his spare time. Grigg grounds out to shortstop. Twins 10, Yankees 2 Bottom 8th: Meneses grounds out to short. Field flies to center. Tabb grounds out to second. Twins 10, Yankees 2 Top 9th: Villasenor triples to lead it off against Will Wright. Stop torturing them, guys! Reed walks. Mendel reaches on an error by Pat Jones, Villasenor scoring on the play. For all his foibles, I'm pretty sure that was the first actual error Jones has committed at short this year. Ramos has only thrown 112 pitches ("only"!) but, like, it's a 10-2 game and they don't need him to go crazy out there. Instead, I'll pull him for a pinch hitter... Jon Barnes (.274, 3, 9), who emerged as their #2 PH man in the second half of the season (Mike Grigg was their #1, at least when he wasn't filling in in the outfield somewhere). Wright takes umbrage at something Barnes said to him and hits him, loading the bases with no out. Morgenstern hits a hard grounder to Jones at short, which he turns into the good old "pitcher's best friend", a 4-6-3 double play. Reed scores on the play. Pellot grounds to second. Twins 12, Yankees 2 Bottom 9th: The Twins call on old man Melvin Melena (2-1, 3.67) to wrap this bad boy up. Melena appeared in 35 games in the regular season as a back of the bullpen arm. He doesn't have a ton left in terms of stuff but he's been just fine in low-leverage innings. Jones flies out to center. Bobby Berg (.286, 3, 7) is called upon to pinch-hit for Yi, and he also flies out to center field. That brings up the pitcher, or rather, the man batting in the pitcher's place, C Jason Mooneyham (.213, 1, 10). He grounds out to second to end the game.

October 5: ALCS Game 2, NLCS Game 1
Team Overviews
--------------------- ALCS ----- The Twins lead the series 1-0 and we're still at Yankee Stadium. NLCS ----- Pittsburgh opens up on the road for this one. How they made the playoffs is, frankly, entirely beyond me. Their run scoring is mediocre in overall league terms, which means that in playoff terms they're baaaaad. They also finished 11th of 12 NL teams in homeruns with 108. Forbes Field accounts for some of that but not all. Also, they finished 9th in the league with a .246 batting average; this is clearly a club that thinks they're still in 1968. On the pitching side of the ledger, it should be noted that they're not just good, they finished first in all of baseball in team ERA (3.11). They've got some really solid front-line starters and then Paz Lemus (8-8, 2.09, 26 Sv), who'd be considered for the Cy Young Award in some years (not this one, not with Marius Gaddi winning 27, but, you know, some years). Expect a lot of 2-1 games this NLCS. Cincinnati held the best record in Major League Baseball during the regular season with a 98-64 record and as such are considered heavy favorites in the NLCS. They had no problems scoring runs; their 800 runs scored was second only to the Cubs in the NL and third only to the Cubs and Yankees overall. You'd think a team that walks and strikes out as much as they do (710 walks was first in the NL, 933 Ks was 3rd), we'd be talking about a slow team but nope, the Reds were 2nd in the NL in steals, too, with 83. Pitching-wise, only the Pirates were better in the National League; the Reds carried a 3.39 ERA. Their bullpen is maybe a touch lighter than Pittsburgh's but they do feature the best and arguably second best starters in this series in Steve Waiters (25-6, 2.47) and Tom Bertan (20-9, 3.69). Major Transactions --------------------- October 5: The Dodgers trade 1B Rafael Disla (.330, 19, 80) and 3B prospect Jeremy Webb (.273, 0, 2 and the #92 prospect at the All-Star Break) to the Cardinals for 1B Justin Stone (.299, 43, 117). Leave it to the Dodgers to steal the headlines during the League Championship series, GEEZ. The real-life version of this deal was for Dick Allen, although the real-life Cardinals didn't get nearly this much back for him. Anyway, Stone is one of the premier hitters in baseball but Disla isn't exactly bad at hitting himself, although his power was way down this year. That's why LA had to add in a prospect in Webb. News -------------------- October 5: The Front de Liberation du Quebec kidnaps diplomat James Cross and demands the release of all of its imprisoned members, beginning the October Crisis. Game Infos -------------------- Pirates @ Reds Pregame: Riverfront Stadium is a little on the gloomy side when it's not packed with fans, but that won't be a problem this series. In its inaugural season it's played like a slight pitcher's park, although neither lefties nor righties have a huge advantage. It's also one of the few fully artificial turf stadia in the league. Watch for infielders to play a little further back and play the caroms more than normal. The Pirates did rotate around enough to be able to use their ace for Game One. That's Jeremy Battaglia (18-9, 2.74), who's more of a control artist than a guy with blazing stuff. Still, he had more than twice as many Ks as he's ever had in another year, which was due partially to being healthy for the first time in his career (35 starts was a career high by 10) but he also just strike out a lot more people (5.2 K/9, his highest ever mark as a starter). He has one nasty curve. Steve Waiters (25-6, 2.47) would be the easy favorite for the Cy Young in any normal season. As it stands, he's the best pitcher still pitching in October. Waiters set Reds records for wins, winning percentage (.806), shutouts (8), innings pitched (298.1), and strikeouts (267, which also led the league and was the 5th highest total in the modern era). Still only 26, the man the kids call "The Hulk" throws a high-80s 2-seam fastball and one of the best curves in the game. If he has a weakness, it's that his pitching motion can leave him out of position to field balls hit back up the middle. Top 1st: CF Justin Hearl (.278, 0, 34) hits a bounding ball back to the mound that Waiters is unable to field in time; Hearl is awarded a base hit on the play. 2B Marty Wolcott (.280, 4, 12) walks. RF Brian Jackson (.324, 5, 101), who has just about the most disproportionate power-to-clutch ratio you'll ever see, strikes out. Steve Waiters, who is nobody's idea of a Gold Glove award winner out there, manages to snag a LF Justin Lawson (.280, 21, 93) groundball but Reds SS Mike Wendt muffs the catch and everyone is safe. Wendt is charged with an error on the play. He did have 30 of them in the regular season; the 26 year old has great range but not the greatest hands. 1B Ian Swerdlove (.260, 3, 17), filling in for the injured Albilio Valdivia (I have no way of accessing his stats through this screen but trust me, they were good), bails the Reds defense out of this one by hitting a hard grounder right at Wendt; it goes for a 6-4-3 double play to end the inning. Pirates 0, Reds 0 Bottom 1st: 2B Pedro Ortiz (.306, 6, 56) gets a hold of the first pitch thrown by Battaglia and rips a double down the left field line. SS Mike Wendt (.264, 15, 71) hits a hot chopper to third, but Andrew Kennard handles it for the out. 3B Bobby Kraljevic (.297, 14, 89) strikes out swinging. LF Junior Cannon (.279, 28, 99) flies to left. Pirates 0, Reds 0 Top 2nd: C Doug Connally (.237, 12, 50) walks. Like a lot of great pitchers, you have to get to Waiters early if you get to him at all. SS Tyler Webster (.229, 16, 57) tries a bit too hard to make this a 2-0 game and goes down swinging. 3B Andrew Kennard (.193, 1, 9), the organization's 3rd string 3rd baseman who was pressed into duty in September due to injuries to the top 2 guys, strikes out. Battaglia bloops one into left-center for a base hit. He's not known as a hitter; he had 10 of them all year long in 78 at-bats. The lucky hit is for naught, though, as Hearl strikes out swinging. Pirates 0, Reds 0 Bottom 2nd: RF Justin Jensen (.226, 42, 96) strikes out staring at a Jeremy Battaglia cutter in the heart of the zone. C Oliver Williams (.274, 6, 64) strikes out swinging. 1B Stephen Clark (.252, 16, 84), the Reds' all-time leader in most offensive categories, flies to center. Pirates 0, Reds 0 Top 3rd: Wolcott flies to deep right. Brian Jackson hits a scorching line drive that hits the "330" sign in left and gets him to second base standing up. Lawson pops out to Ortiz at second base. Swerdlove grounds out 3-1, leaving a runner stranded in scoring position. Pirates 0, Reds 0 Bottom 3rd: CF Chris Wilkes (.246, 3, 49), who hit 2nd for much of the year before getting demoted to 8th, grounds out to 3rd. Waiters hits a grounder right at SS Tyler Webster; he fields it cleanly and throws him out. Ortiz walks on 5 pitches. Mike Wendt has a good, solid 7 pitch at-bat that unfortunately leads to an easy grounder to short. Pirates 0, Reds 0 Top 4th: Connally gets ahead 3-1 on Waiters but then hits an easy fly to center. Webster grounds to 3rd. Kennard grounds to short. Pirates 0, Reds 0 Bottom 4th: Kralcevic works it to a full count and then reaches on a Tyler Webster error. Cannon singles past 2B Marty Wolcott into center, with Kraljevic, who is by no means fast, taking the extra base on the play. Jensen hits a fly into left but it's not deep enough to score Bobby K. Williams walks to load the bases. Clark hits a fly to left and this time it's deep enough to bring in Kraljevic; in fact, Junior Cannon even elects to tag up and go to third, where he's just safe under the Andrew Kennard tag. Wilkes grounds to short and Tyler Webster goes the short way for the 3rd out of the inning. Pirates 0, Reds 1 Top 5th: Battaglia grounds to 3rd base (there was no question I was going to leave him in). Hearl hits a high fly to center that makes Chris Wilkes cover a lot of ground but he gets there in time. Wolcott watches a 3-2 changeup go by for strike 3. Pirates 0, Reds 1 Bottom 5th: Waiters grounds to short. Ortiz strikes out; Doug Connally is given credit for good framing by the PBP. Wendt hits a liner into the left-center alley that drops in and he gets all the way to third on the play. It's a triple and the Reds have the opportunity to get ahead by multiple runs. Bobby K comes through in the clutch with an RBI single. Cannon hits a liner to right that looks like the Reds will have 3 straight base hits but RF Brian Jackson gives up his body to make the diving catch. Pirates 0, Reds 2 Top 6th: Jackson flies to center. Lawson grounds out 5-3. Swerdlove pops out to short. Pirates 0, Reds 2 Bottom 6th: Jensen strikes out looking at a 2-2 changeup. Oliver Williams sends a drive deep to center but Justin Hearl is able to make a leaping grab and save an extra-base hit. With nobody on, Stephen Clark's clutch skills are unneeded and he grounds softly to first base. Pirates 0, Reds 2 Top 7th: Connally hits a leadoff single to right field. Webster works Waiters to a 3-2 count and gets ball four on the 7th pitch of the at-bat. Kennard also works Waiters to a full count but The Hulk sends him down on a brutal change. As much as I'm tempted to bring in Paz Lemus early and often this series, Battaglia's pitching too well. I leave him in and he executes a perfect sacrifice bunt, moving both runners into scoring position with 2 outs. Hearl gets ahead of Waiters but grounds to shortstop to end the Pirates threat. Pirates 0, Reds 2 Bottom 7th: Wilkes singles up the middle. Waiters hasn't been exactly amazing today but he's also throwing a 4-hitter and this is a great sacrifice situation anyway. That's exactly what Waiters does; Wilkes moves to second. Ortiz grounds to 2nd base, a productive out that allows Wilkes to steam into 3rd. Battaglia hits Wendt with an 0-2 pitch. Wendt led the NL with 11 of those in 1970. Bobby K doesn't come through in the clutch this time, hitting a can of corn to center. Pirates 0, Reds 2 Top 8th: Wolcott chases a 3-1 sinker and hits it straight to Wendt at shortstop. Lawson grounds out to Ortiz at second. Lawson manages to hit the ball into the air off of Waiters for one of the few times today; it carries all the way out of the park in left field and cuts the lead in half. Swerdlove grounds to shortstop. Pirates 1, Reds 2 Bottom 8th: Cannon knocks one into right and once again has a hit stolen from him by RF Brian Jackson. Jensen strikes out on three pitches. Oliver Williams flies to center. Top 9th: Waiters does have a little bit left at 121 pitches thrown today but he looks like he's been really struggling the last couple innings. As such, I'm bringing in stopper Ricky Rosas (7-9, 3.21, 31 Sv). Rosas led all of baseball with 31 saves in the regular season. He throws 4 pitches but the signature is an elite slider. That pitch has allowed him to strike out 10.8 men per 9 innings this year (which, trust me, for 1970 is crazy good). Connally flies to left. Webster stays in because as a lefty he retains the platoon advantage; he strikes out on a fastball out of the zone. Kennard is lifted for Maria Fernandez (.227, 0, 3), who has barely hit better than Kennard in the bigs but hit .312 at Columbus before a late-season callup. Fernandez flies to center and the Reds have their first win in the postseason in over a decade. Twins @ Yankees Pregame: The Twins just stole home field advantage with a 12-2 rout of Olbe Olthof and the Yankees. Given that this is a 5 game series, this one is pretty much a must-win for New York. Minnesota trots out Chris Benavides (18-14, 2.61), who has been the victim of some very bad run support this year following a 20-10 campaign in 1969. He's still pretty much the same pitcher he was before, throwing a 3 pitch mix that includes a low-90s fastball, a nasty slider, and a curve he uses as a change of pace. He's a guy who will make you beat him, and he keeps the ball down as well: just 12 HRs allowed in 313.2 innings pitched. The Yankees counter with their #3 starter, Danilo Caneas (17-13, 4.22). Caneas is a journeyman who's bounced around the league over the course of 13 major league seasons. He led the league in losses in 1967 as a member of the Washington Senators. As a member of the Yankees rotation he's been mostly about nibbling on the corners, throwing a variety of junk, and keeping the game close enough to allow the high-powered offense to outscore the other guys. This isn't always successful, as the 13 losses (not to mention the league-high 32 HRs allowed) suggests. Top 1st: Morgenstern draws a leadoff, 8 pitch walk. Pellot flies to center. Martinez also flies to center. Brookes grounds out 5-4. Twins 0, Yankees 0 Bottom 1st: MacMillan grounds to 3rd. Weiss grounds back to the pitcher. Cardenas pops out to shortstop. Twins 0, Yankees 0 Top 2nd: Cortez strikes out swinging at a mid-90s fastball. Villasenor flies out to center. Reed grounds out to shortstop. Twins 0, Yankees 0 Bottom 2nd: Meneses strikes out swinging. Field fouls out to first. Tabb grounds to first base. Twins 0, Yankees 0 Top 3rd: Mendel, hitting just .111 against the Yankees this season, grounds out to second base. Benavides strikes out, but he made Caneas work for it, pushing it to a full count before watching a fastball blow by him. Morgenstern grounds to shortstop. Twins 0, Yankees 0 Bottom 3rd: Jones grounds to short. Yi walks on four pitches, but then is erased trying to steal second base. That's generally a good play, as Reed does not have a cannon. Caneas strikes out. Twins 0, Yankees 0 Top 4th: Pellot flies to center field. Martinez makes weak contact with a 3-2 fastball and grounds out to second base. Brookes hits a hot shot that is right at the 3rd baseman Tommy Weiss. Twins 0, Yankees 0 Bottom 4th: Benavides hits MacMillan with a 91 MPH fastball. That's got to hurt! Benavides' sudden lapse in control continues, as the first pitch to Tommy Weiss is high and outside and goes all the way to the backstop, MacMillan moving up to 2nd. Weiss walks on 4 pitches. After throwing a first pitch ball, Cardenas hits a fastball low and out of the zone, which results in a hard ground ball to shortstop Danny Pellot and a textbook 6-4-3 double play. MacMillan does get to 3rd. Benavides next gives up yet another walk - that's 3 today and he averaged only 2.8 per 9 innings in the regular season. With runners on the corners, Mike Brookes tries to do too much with a hot grounder to third. The throw gets wide of 1B Angelo Martinez and Field gets all the way to second on the play. Meneses gets to third and MacMillan scores. It's the first time all ALCS the Yankees have had a lead. Tabb grounds to second base. Twins 0, Yankees 1 Top 5th: Cortes draws a leadoff walk but then gets caught stealing immediately. Villasenor strikes out. Brad Reed also strikes out. Twins 0, Yankees 1 Bottom 5th: Jones grounds to first base. Yi flies to shallow center. Caneas hits an easy grounder to SS Danny Pellot for a 6-3 putout. Twins 0, Yankees 1 Top 6th: Mendel flies out. Benavides grounds to short. Morgenstern flies to right. Twins 0, Yankees 1 Bottom 6th: MacMillan strikes out swinging. Weiss grounds to second. Cardenas grounds out. Twins 0, Yankees 1 Top 7th: Turn your message board down if you're superstitious: neither Chris Benavides nor Danilo Caneas has given up a hit today. WELP THAT'S WHAT I GET FOR TYPING OUT LOUD Danny Pellot slaps a ball up the middle that just gets in in front of Micah MacMillan's glove. The single breaks up Caneas' no-hit bid in the 7th. Martinez breaks up Caneas' bid for a one-hitter with a single into center. Brookes walks to load the bases; he led the league with 140 bases on balls so this is nothing new. Cortes breaks up Caneas' bid at a shutout and a no-homerunner with one swing of the bat. It's now a 4-1 ballgame. Villasenor pops out into short left field. Brad Reed grounds to shortstop. Mendel grounds to 2nd but the damage has been done. Twins 4, Yankees 1 Bottom 7th: Meneses strikes out. Mendel bobbles the ball on what should have been an easy out. He's charged with the 2nd Twins error of the day and Field gets to first base. Tabb belts one down the right field line but Morgenstern makes a stupendous play to rob him of a hit. Pat Jones goes down 5-4. Six outs. Twins 4, Yankees 1 Top 8th: I elect to leave Caneas in; he's still thrown just 106 pitches and he's due to hit in the bottom of the inning anyway. Benavides strikes out looking. Morgenstern grounds out to short. Pellot flies to right, forcing Frank Meneses to leave his feet to make the catch. Twins 4, Yankees 1 Bottom 8th: Ross Poynor comes in to pinch-hit for Wing-Fung Yi. He slaps the very first pitch he sees into right field, breaking up Chris Benavides' no-hit bid. Bobby Berg next comes in to pinch-hit for Danilo Caneas, who really just made the one big mistake to Alejandro Cortez in the 7th. Otherwise he was... nearly unhittable. He walked 3 and struck out 5 in 8 innings. Berg hits a roller out in front of the plate which Brad Reed pounces on. He throws to second and nails the lead runner. Micah MacMillan grounds back to the pitcher, who also gets the lead runner; on the play, Bobby Berg slides into the bag awkwardly and appears to hurt his elbow. He was almost certainly out of the game already but now it's a question of whether or not he'll be available to pinch-hit later in the series. Tommy Weiss doubles on a ball hit into center field. Cardenas works Benavides to a full count but, in maybe the biggest at-bat all season long, Cardenas watches strike three go past him. Twins 4, Yankees 1 Top 9th: ARGH so apparently Ybarra was not on the playoff roster, so instead there will be shenanigans. Tom Weiss moves to second base and Sanshiro Okuru (.328, 0, 9), a last-second desperation call-up who is making his major league debut today, will play the hot corner. Taking the mound will be stopper Jesse Kelly (9-5, 3.01, 26 Sv), who needs the work. The last time he pitched was September 30 in Boston. Kelly's a sidearmer who has the stamina to start but has a tendency to get lit up by right-handed power (14 HRA in 276 at-bats vs RHB) that makes him less than ideal in that situation. As a short reliever and especially in Yankee Stadium he can pitch around that to some extent. When he's not allowing homeruns, he strikes out nearly a batter an inning. Martinez (a lefty) grounds back to the pitcher. Kelly does his best to not give the switch-hitting Brookes anything good to swing at, but Brookes still manages to hit a pitch about a foot outside through the gap and into right for a base hit. Cortes (also a lefty) flies out to center. Villasenor (a lefty as well) strikes out looking. Twins 4, Yankees 1 Bottom 9th: Benavides is facing the 4-5-6 hitters but is cruising. He's got to be given the chance to go all the way tonight. Meneses strikes out swinging at an evil looking curveball. Field walks on four pitches. Tabb strokes a single into right, bringing the tying run to the plate. Benavides looks like he has the stuff for 2 more batters, maybe 3 (but if he has to face 3, that's probably bad). Pat Jones hits a ball to shorstop Danny Pellot, who goes the short way to get the runner at 2nd but there's no chance to turn two. Field gets down to 3rd on the play. Okubo is pretty well forced to hit and his first major league plate appearance... is a double down the left field line! Field scores and suddenly the winning run is at the plate in the person of Jesse Kelly. I mean, of course he's out for a pinch hitter: it's longtime Yankees catcher Jason Mooneyham. Unfortunately for the Yankees, the old professor doesn't have a hit left in him, at least not tonight. He grounds to second and leaves his team on the brink of defeat. FINAL: Twins 4, Yankees 2

October 6: NLCS Game 2
Team Overviews
--------------------- NLCS -------- The Pirates face something of a must-win - maybe not as much as the Yankees did, but in a 5 game series you don't get much of a chance to turn things around. Should they somehow get past the Reds, Ernie Alvarez (3-3, 3.72), who's been out since late May with a torn meniscus, should be ready to pitch in the World Series. Alvarez won 15 games for the Bucs in 1968 and would be a much-needed member of that pitching staff. Major Transactions --------------------- October 6: The Cardinals traded P Raul Dias (3-4, 6.23) to the Red Sox for P TJ Matson (0-2, 6.38). This is basically just a trade of one volatile youngster for another. Dias might have been promoted too quickly this year - he was definitely not ready for the major leagues - but he's also already 24 so the clock's kind of ticking. Matson is a year younger but has seen a whole lot of his development time erased by a torn flexor tendon in his elbow that kept suffering setbacks. News -------------------- October 6: Bolivian president Alfredo Ovando Candia resigns. October 6: Bobby Berg got the diagnosis back quickly: It's a sore elbow that will leave him hardly able to throw for the next month. Good thing the Yankees aren't planning on using him to throw the ball. His hitting should be unaffected. October 6: It's basically my own fault that I didn't put German Ybarra on the playoff roster (I think he was ineligible but I'm the commissioner). I physically can't make roster moves but I'll do the next best thing: there's no reason why Sanshiro Okubo wouldn't have been cross-training at other IF positions while he was being used mostly as a pinch-hitter for Syracuse this year. He's not very good at 2nd or SS but he's more of a late-inning, last-gasp kind of guy than someone I'm going to ever start there anyway. Game Infos -------------------- Pirates @ Reds Pregame: We're in Riverfront again. It's sunny and 67 degrees out. Maybe a last taste of summer in early October. Pittsburgh goes to Santos Arango (19-9, 2.80). It's hard to believe that Arango is only 27; it seems like he's been the backbone of the Pirates staff for a decade. He was a really bad All-Star snub for the second straight season, but he found his revenge in setting personal highs in strikeouts (190) and shutouts (6) and matching his highest win total (he went 19-14 in 1966). Arango throws one of the best circle changes in the game and it means that even though he's a left-hander, he has virtually no splits (.242 BA vs RHB, .227 vs LHB). Cincinnati's guy is Tom Bertan (20-9, 3.69), another All-Star snub. He's more of a mid-rotation workhorse but that's a little bit of an undersell, as Bertan is just plain a good pitcher - that is, when he's not letting his curve or his heater get too high in the zone (he led the NL with 36 HRs allowed this year). He came over to Cincy from California and increased his K rate by half (3.9 to 5.9). Top 1st: Hearl singles to right center. Wolcott pops out to second. With Jackson batting, Hearl tries to steal second base and gets caught. Jackson hits one hard into right field but Cincinnati RF Justin Jensen is there to make the leaping grab for out number 3. Pirates 0, Reds 0 Bottom 1st: Ortiz walks on four pitches, but then tries to steal second and is thrown out. He was only 26 for 48 this year stealing. Wendt grounds out to short. Kraljevic hits a grounder back to the pitcher, who tosses it to first for the out. Pirates 0, Reds 0 Top 2nd: Lawson hits a popup/fly ball to deep short that Wendt ranges back and catches. Swerdlove flies to left. Connally goes down 5-3. Pirates 0, Reds 0 Bottom 2nd: Cannon swings and misses at a 3-2 sinker. Jensen also falls victim to the two-seamer, striking out swinging. Williams flies to center. Pirates 0, Reds 0 Top 3rd: Webster flies out to left. Kennard pops out to Mike Wendt, ranging behind second base this time. Arango hits one into the dirt in front of home plate, but Reds C Oliver Williams has trouble picking it up and then his throw to first sails wide. The pitcher is on thanks to an E-2. Hearl walks. Wolcott grounds out to second base. Pirates 0, Reds 0 Bottom 3rd: Clark hits a soft fly to center that's caught for the out. Wilkes grounds out to short. Bertan flies out to left. Pirates 0, Reds 0 Top 4th: Jackson leads off the inning with a double down the left field line. Lawson hits one high and deep but to the deepest part of Riverfront Stadium, 404 feet to dead center. He's out but Jackson gets to 3rd on the play. Swerdlove drops one in in front of CF Chris Wilkes, scoring Jackson. Connally coaxes a 10 pitch walk out of Bertan. Webster flies to right. Kennard makes decent contact with an 0-2 fastball but it's right at 3rd baseman Bobby Kraljevic, who tosses it all the way to first for the final out. Pirates 1, Reds 0 Bottom 4th: Ortiz hits a fliner right at Tyler Webster at short. Wendt slaps a ground ball Webster's way; the play is scored 6-3. Kraljevic mixes it up a little bit by grounding out to second instead. Pirates 1, Reds 0 Top 5th: Arango flies to right. Hearl hits a grounder to right and Bobby K's throw just beats him to first. Wolcott goes down swinging. Pirates 1, Reds 0 Bottom 5th: Junior Cannon belts a double off the left field wall to open up the inning. It's the first hit Arango's allowed all day. Jensen pops out to second. Williams flies out to short center field. Stephen Clark demonstrates how he's the clutch heart of this team by belting a 2 out double to left himself, scoring Cannon. Wilkes is intentionally walked to face Bertan. Bertan grounds out harmlessly to short. Pirates 1, Reds 1 Top 6th: Jackson draws a leadoff walk, the 3rd one issued by Bertan today. Bertan had pretty decent control this year, allowing 69 walks in 256 IP (2.5/9). Lawson pops out to shortstop. Swerdlove hits one to right that looked like it might drop in off the bat but winds up firmly in the glove of Justin Jensen. Connally grounds out 1-3 and strands the runner. Pirates 1, Reds 1 Bottom 6th: One advantage of the pitcher ending a rally is, it resets the lineup. Well. Ortiz grounds out to third. Wendt tags one off the "375" sign in right field and is motoring past second before the Pirates CF Justin Hearl even has a grip on the ball. He winds up at third with a triple. Bobby K drives him in with a solid single to right and gives the Reds their first lead of the night. Cannon lives up to his name, blasting a 2-run dinger over the right field wall. Arango walks Jensen. He's only thrown 74 pitches but he looks like he's in some trouble. I choose to trust him. Williams strokes a solid single into right. Come on, the guy won 19 games this year. Clark unclutchifies himself, striking out looking. Arango walks the bases loaded by sending Wilkes to first... but also brings up the pitcher Tom Bertan. He can't get Bertan out. Instead, he singles up the middle, driving in two. To be faaaaair, Bertan hit .259 this year and is a lifetime .204 hitter. That has to be it for Arango. He leaves the game allowing 6 runs, all of them earned, on 7 hits with 4 walks and 3 strikeouts. Knowing that this guy will be lifted for a pinch-hitter in the top of the inning, I bring in RHP Dustin Kessler (2-3, 3.44) to get the right-handed Pedro Ortiz out. Kessler is a former stopper for the Yankees - 1966 Rolaids Relief Ace - who's had issues staying healthy for Pittsburgh for the past 2 seasons. He pitched in 27 games for the Bucs in 1970, striking out 29 and walking 12 in 34 innings. Ortiz battles Kessler to a near standstill for 10 pitches but finally gets him out on a called strike three on a sinker down in the zone. Pirates 1, Reds 6 Top 7th: Webster hits a hard one the other way to left, only to have Junior Cannon steal an extra base hit from him on a sliding catch. I choose to leave Kennard in, and he is erased on three pitches by Bertan (that's a K). Pinch-hitting for Kessler is Mario Fernandez, who grounds out to second. Pirates 1, Reds 6 Bottom 7th: The Pirates turn to Paz Lemus (8-8, 2.09, 26 Sv) to pitch the rest of the game (unless the Pirates come back). Thsi is a little lower leverage situation than Lemus is generally used to. He led the NL in games pitched (79) for the 2nd time in 3 years, and threw 120.1 innings in relief. Even though Lemus only hits the mid 80s on the radar gun, his stuff is electric. He struck out 109 batters in that period and is in general very, very stingy with the hits, allowing a career-best .208 opponents' batting average this year. Lemus enters the game on a mission, striking out Wendt. Bobby Kraljevic manages to make contact with a fastball that might have been out of the strike zone for a base hit to right. Cannon hits into a fielders' choice to the second baseman but the ball is hit too slowly to convert the DP. Jensen is jammed by a fastball that might have been off the plate, but Pirates catcher Doug Connally convinces the ump otherwise. Pirates 1, Reds 6 Top 8th: Tom Bertan hasn't been super great and is up to 108 pitches so the Reds make the decision to bring in their setup man Greg Shrewsbury (4-4, 2.56, 5 Sv). Shrewsbury is a converted starter who won the Gold Glove at pitcher in 1965. The Reds made him work full-time out of the pen this year and he really took a shine to it, with 56 Ks and only 14 walks in 73.2 innings. He did have a bad habit of allowing inherited runners to score (15/23) but today he inherits only the inning and a 5 run lead. Hearl grounds to short. Wolcott grounds out 3 unassisted. Jackson also hits one to first and this time Reds 1B Stephen Clark calls the pitcher over to perform the put-out. Pirates 1, Reds 6 Bottom 8th: Lemus strikes out Williams swinging. Clark flies to center field. Wilkes also hits one to center that is caught. Pirates 1, Reds 6 Top 9th: It's hang-on time! I mean, kind of. The Pirates are not known for scoring, especially with this lineup, and they need to score a lot. Lawson singles up the middle. Swerdlove makes it back to back base hits. Did I speak too soon? If it becomes a save situation I'll bring in Ricky Rosas. And Doug Connally singles too, loading the bases with no outs. 3 runners + the batter + the man on deck = 5 potential runs and that's save time. Ricky Rosas enters the game for the second time in this series. Rosas catches Webster trying to make it a one-run game with one swing and strikes him out on two fastballs and a curve. Carlos Carrera (.255, 4, 17) comes in to pinch-hit for Kennard. With his first appearance, he hits a slow grounder to Bobby Kralcevic at third base, who makes the sensical decision to trade the run for the out at first base. Swerdlove and Connally move up on the play. Alex Flores (.000, 0, 0) is a bad hitter but that's all the Pirates have on their bench and he's probably better than Paz Lemus. He strikes out anyway. Pittsburgh is now in imminent danger of being swept. FINAL: Reds 6, Pirates 1

October 7, 1970 (ALCS Game 3)
Team Overviews
--------------------- ALCS -------- The Yankees really have their work cut out for them: not only do they have to win out to advance to the World Series, they're going to have to win both of the next two games at Metropolitan Stadium in Minneapolis. Major Transactions --------------------- None. News -------------------- October 7: General Juan Jose Torres becomes the new "president" of Bolivia. Ever hear of "Operation Condor"? That's this guy. Game Infos -------------------- Yankees @ Twins Pregame: Metropolitan Stadium is basically a neutral park this year, although lefties can find it hard to hit homeruns in the cold Minnesota air (it didn't seem to affect righties as much for some reason). It's an open park that seats 45k rabid Minnesota sports fans. It's 55 degrees out with a wind blowing out to center. I don't know if that means more runs or fewer to be perfectly honest. Probably fewer. One small thing the Yankees have going for them is that their ace Tracy Mosher (25-12, 2.67) is available to pitch in this game. He'd been dispatched to take down the Indians in the one-game playoff so this is his first start in the postseason this year. He's actually got some postseason experience: 5 games, 4 starts, a 1-0 record, and a 4.76 ERA. All right, not good experience but experience... Mosher led the league in wins for the 2nd time in 3 years and has a lifetime record of 146-82 with 6 All-Star mentions. The left-hander simply knows how to pitch and just plain destroys people with a devastating change of pace. The 163rd game actually allowed Mosher to set the modern record for innings pitched with 323. That start also allowed him to become the first SP since 1958 to complete 20+ games in one year. Mike Larsen (11-10, 3.04) is a junkballer who keeps the ball down - 60% GB rate, only 8 HRs allowed in 201 IP. His control wasn't quite at its pinpoint best this year (3.3 BB/9, a career high), which is why he was only 11-10 and not, say, 15-8 like he was in 1968 when he made his only All-Star appearance. That said, he finished the season strong: a 2.44 ERA in 44.2 September innings (only a 2-2 record but that's not all his fault). Top 1st: MacMillan walks. Weiss lines out to left field - Alejandro Cortes makes an excellent play to prevent a hit. Cardenas flies out to center. Meneses singles to left. Dan Field parks his first postseason HR into the right field stands. I swear I mentioned that Larsen doesn't give up very many of those. Tabb hits a blooper that falls in front of CF Jose Villasenor for a base hit. Pat Jones flies out. Yankees 3, Twins 0 Bottom 1st: Morgenstern strikes out swinging. Pellot grounds out to third. Martinez gets jammed and flies out to left. Yankees 3, Twins 0 Top 2nd: Yi gets things start with a triple to left-center. Mosher strikes out; that's Larsen's first. MacMillan homers to right. This is not Mike Larsen's day. Weiss flies out to center field. Cardenas actually hits one on the ground - it goes to shortstop and the play is scored 6-3. Yankees 5, Twins 0 Bottom 2nd: Brookes flies to center. Cortes pops out to second base. Villasenor strikes out swinging. Yankees 5, Twins 0 Top 3rd: Larsen gets behind Meneses and then plunks him in the back. That's 3 straight leadoff men reaching base off Larsen. Meneses, who stole 7 bases in 10 tries in 1970 and in the past has stolen as many as 15, get caught trying to take second. Field flies out to center. Tabb strikes out. Yankees 5, Twins 0 Bottom 3rd: Reed strikes out looking. Mendel grounds out to short. I could bring Larsen out but I do not; he strikes out too to retire the side. Yankees 5, Twins 0 Top 4th: Jones strikes out. Yi climbs the ladder and chases a 3-2 pitch out of the zone for Larsen's 2nd K of the inning and 4th of the game. Mosher bloops one into left for a single. Micah MacMillan also singles and Mosher gets over to third on the play. Tommy Weiss slaps a hit just past Danny Pellot at shortstop, driving in Mosher and getting MacMillan over to third base. Cardenas grounds out to second. Yankees 6, Twins 0 Bottom 4th: Morgenstern grounds out, 5-3. Pellot hits an easy fly to left. Martinez drops a kind of cheap one in between the infield and the outfield for the first Twins hit of the game. Brookes flies out to center field. Yankees 6, Twins 0 Top 5th: I'm probably going to lift Larsen for a pinch-hitter the next time he's up but that might not be until the 6th. He may not make it that long. Meneses grounds to second. Field pops up to Marty Mendel at second. Tabb slaps a 2 out single back through the box. Jones grounds out to second. Yankees 6, Twins 0 Bottom 5th: Mosher strikes out Cortes with a big, breaking curveball that is so slow, your car could probably beat it to home plate. Villasenor singles into right. Reed hits it to second and gets doubled up, 4-6-3. Yankees 6, Twins 0 Top 6th: With the bottom of the order now due up, why not let Larsen get through 6? Yi grounds to first base. Mosher hits one back to the pitcher that is fielded cleanly for the 1-3 groundout. MacMillan does sort of the same thing, only the grounder isn't quite as hard and MacMillan is much faster down the line, so it winds up an infield base hit. Weiss grounds out to second. Yankees 6, Twins 0 Bottom 6th: Marty Mendel flies out to center field. Pinch-hitting for Larsen is Mike Grigg. He grounds out to second. Morgenstern hits one that gets to the warning track in left but is just a loud out. Yankees 6, Twins 0 Top 7th: With two lefties due up, the Twins go to LHP Ricardo Magdaleno (8-16, 4.73). As the record suggests, Magdaleno spent most of the season in the rotation, and as the record suggests, he was kind of bad. He yielded a .295 OBA this year; he stopped being able to strike people out last year and in retrospect he just might have been lucky to still go 13-8, 3.14 for the club then. Cardenas belts it to deep center but Twins CF Jose Villasenor manages to track it down for the out. Meneses lines out to shortstop. Field strikes out. Yankees 6, Twins 0 Bottom 7th: Pellot whiffs - that's the 6th by Mosher today. Martinez knocks one into the opposite field fences to break up the shutout. That's his 4th career postseason HR. Too little, too late? Mike Brookes does what Mike Brookes does, by which I mean he draws a walk. Mosher cruelly picks him off of first. Cortes singles the other way into left. Yankees C Khalil Tabb allows a catchable change-up to squirt past him; Cortes gets to 2nd and it's ruled a passed ball. Mosher makes it moot by freezing Villasenor on a 1-2 curve. Yankees 6, Twins 1 Top 8th: Since the pitcher will hit in the bottom of the inning, I'm bringing in Melvin Melena to make his second appearance this series. Tabb grounds out to first. Pat Jones hits one to 2B Marty Mendel that he can't hang onto; he muffs it for the E-4. I want to pinch-hit for Yi but I kind of can't. He grounds into a fielder's choice, 4-6. Mosher is cruising at this point and there's no reason to pull him. He goes down on strikes. Yankees 6, Twis 1 Bottom 8th: Reed comes out in favor of backup C Matt Theroff (.268, 1, 11), who has the rep of a very good defensive catcher but also, this year, learned to cut down on the Ks enough to be a useful hitter as well. In this situation he's probably better at getting on base than Reed. That said, he strikes out swinging, #8 for Mosher. Mendel drops one in behind CF Micah MacMillan, who misplays it into a double. Barnes comes in to pinch-hit for Melena. He grounds out 5-3. Morgenstern walks - only Mosher's 2nd base on balls today. Danny Pellot hits a fly out with a small bit of life to right, but not enough life. Yankees 6, Twins 1 Top 9th: Pete Lynn (10-9, 3.33, 18 Sv) enters the game for the first time this postseason. He was really up and down this year but when he was up, he was on fire. He struck out 93 men in 94.2 innings thanks to a 4-seam fastball that hits 93 on the radar gun that sets up his out pitch, a 2-seamer. MacMillan flies to center. Weiss does the same. Cardenas grounds out 3-1 because he wanted to be different or something. Bottom 9th: This is clearly Mosher's game to win at this point. If I took the ball out of his hand he might reach out of the scream and choke me. Martinez, who hit a solo HR his last time up, proves to be an annoying little butt as he hits a bloop single up the middle. Brookes strikes out on a fastball whose location... let's just say I think the ump had a dinner date after the game. Cortes takes a changeup that missed low and sends it into the right field stands by sheer force of will alone. It's a 3 run game. Villasenor doubles and Mosher suddenly looks tired. This is not the time to sit aside and worry about feelings getting hurt. Jesse Kelly takes the mound for the 2nd time this series and the first time in a save situation. The rally continues. Matt Theroff belts a double into the right-center gap, scoring Villasenor. Mendel singles. The tying run is now on base and the winning run is at the plate. That also means that Pete Lynn is out, replaced by OF Guillermo Maldonado (.333, 0, 2), a late injury replacement who had all of 3 at-bats in the regular season. He hits a hard grounder to 2nd that looks like that's going to end it, but Mendel upends SS Pat Jones and keeps the inning alive. Theroff sneaks in from 3rd and we're down to 1 run. Kelly fiiinally ends the rally, coercing Morgenstern to ground out to 2B. FINAL: Yankees 6, Twins 5

October 8, 1970 (Game 4 of the ALCS, Game 3 of the NLCS)
Team Overviews
--------------------- ALCS -------- Tracy Mosher pitched 8 strong innings and then Jesse Kelly just barely kept things from getting terrible in the 9th to keep the Yankees out of Sweep City. Still, they're facing Angelo Ramos today; things do not look great. NLCS ------- There's a very good chance that this will be the final NLCS game of the year, as Cincinnati is going for the sweep at old Forbes Field. Major Transactions --------------------- None (but there's a big one a'coming tomorrrow) News -------------------- October 8: Aleksandr Solhenitsyn, the author of The Gulag Archipelago, wins the Nobel Prize for Literature. October 8: It seems like a moot point but any chance the Pirates had of 1B Albilio Valdivia (.282, 12, 57) coming back from his torn hamstring for the World Series have been dashed, as he suffered a setback and won't get back to working out or doing whatever he normally does in the offseason until January. October 8: Little-used Tigers reliever Art Momot (1-0, 3.48) said he wants to be a starter. He's 31 and hasn't started in a game since 1966. Probably not happening, bud. Game Infos -------------------- Yankees @ Twins Pregame: Still the Met! Game-time temperatures are a full 12 degrees higher than the day before at 67. OMG OOTP WHY DON'T YOU HAVE REALISTIC WEATHER PATTERSN The Yankees are coming back with Obe Olthof, who was pretty bad in game one but the true terribleness of that game didn't really start happening until after he was removed, so at least there's that. His main out pitch is a slider, which he refers to as "der olliebollen". Minnesota gets to use Angelo Ramos, who of course was nigh unstoppable during the regular season. Even though it's 1970, I'm noticing that neither team does much of anything with platoon baseball. It's the same static lineups night in, night out. Top 1st: MacMillan strikes out swinging. Weiss singles up the middle. Cardenas hits a pop-up near the mound that SS Danny Pellot pulls down. Meneses fouls out to third. Yankees 0, Twins 0 Bottom 1st: Morgenstern drives a curveball into left for a base hit. Pellot pulls a 1-2 circle change down the LF line for a double; Morgenstern stays on third with no outs. Martinez grounds to second and the Yankees trade the run for the out, 4-3. Brookes singles into right, scoring Pellot. Cortes flies out to center. Villasenor swings late and pushes a fly into left, where Dan Field grabs onto it easily. Yankees 0, Twins 2 Top 2nd: Field whiffs. Tabb parks one over the left field fence, 396 feet from home plate (the length of the HR, not the fence). It's a 2-1 ballgame! Ramos doesn't like the way Tabb ran around the bases so he hits Jones in the leg. Yi flies to right. Olthof grounds out, 6-4. Yankees 1, Twins 2 Bottom 2nd: Reed strikes out. Mendel strikes out too. Ramos is determined to not be K #3 of the inning so he pops the first pitch he sees into short right field, where it is caught. Yankees 1, Twins 2 Top 3rd: MacMillan lays down an excellent bunt that 1B Angelo Martinez can't quite get to in time. It's a leadoff base hit. Weiss flies out to left. Cardenas hits a hard ground ball that unfortunately is right at SS Danny Pellot, who executes a flawless 6-4-3 double play. Yankees 1, Twins 2 Bottom 3rd: Morgenstern singles up the middle. He's 2 for 2 today, which raises his average for the ALCS to .214. Morgenstern then steals second, which Pellot is probably fine with since it just meant he had to look at an "olliebollen". Pellot works the count to full and grounds out to short on the 7th pitch of the at-bat. SS Pat Jones had no chance at the lead runner so he went directly to first base. Martinez is fooled by the olliebollen (note: it's Dutch for donut hole!) and strikes out swinging. Brookes is thinking olliebollen but sees a curve instead; he also strikes out. Yankees 1, Twins 2 Top 4th: Meneses flies out to center. Ramos loses Field, walking him on four pitches. Tabb hits a groundball right to 3B Mike Brookes, who converts it into a 5-4-3 double play. Yankees 1, Twins 2 Bottom 4th: Cortes grounds out to second. Villasenor hits one to the third baseman, Tommy Weiss, who fields it easily and cleanly for the 5-3 groundout. Reed goes down swinging on three straight curveballs. Yankees 1, Twins 2 Top 5th: Jones hits a dribbler back up the middle and just barely past SS Danny Pellot for a base hit. Yi strikes out swinging on a change; he's 1 for 9 for the series now. Olthof lays down a bad bunt; C Brad Reed pounces on it and gets the lead runner in Pat Jones. MacMillan grounds out to short. Yankees 1, Twins 2 Bottom 5th: Mendel grounds out to third base. Ramos Ks; that's Olthof's 6th strikeout this afternoon. Cardenas grounds out to third. Yankees 1, Twins 2 Top 6th: Weiss grounds to short. Cardenas, who at age 37 is playing in his first postseason, gets his 2nd hit in 16 at-bats as he singles up the middle. Meneses walks. The Yankees have a runner in scoring position for the first time... in a while? Dan Field singles to left to load the bases. Tabb, the top hitter for the Yankees in the ALCS with a .354 average, hits what looked for a second like a bloop single down the left field line, but the rangey Alejandro Cortes manages to catch up to it. Cardenas can't even try for home because the ball is caught roughly 20 feet behind him. Pat Jones hits a high fly that gets all the way out to the right field warning track before Lou Morgenstern catches it. Yankees 1, Twins 2 Bottom 6th: Pellot flies to left. Martinez grounds out to second. Brookes just misses his 2nd homerun of the league championship series; the ball caroms off the right field wall at a crazy angle and by the time Frank Meneses catches up to it and throws it in, Brookes has himself a triple. Cortes anticlimactically pops out to short. Yankees 1, Twins 2 Top 7th: Yi gets his second hit of the series, a dying quail into right. Olthof is still pitching well and it's a good sacrifice situation anyway so he remains in. True to form, he does bunt, and this time the bunt is successful: Olthof out, Yi into scoring position. MacMillan makes contact with the first pitch and is out 3-1; however, the grounder to the right side of the infield allows Yi to advance to third. Not that it matters where Yi is; Tommy Weiss belts his 1st HR this postseason, not to mention his first in 26 postseason at-bats, to give the Yankees the 3-2 lead. Cardenas flies out to left. Yankees 3, Twins 2 Bottom 7th: Villasenor grounds out to short. Reed also grounds out to short. I should probably bring in someone to hit for Marty Mendel but he's gotten us this far... he flies to right. Yankees 3, Twins 2 Top 8th: Angelo Ramos has only thrown 91 pitches and, issues last inning aside, looks as strong as ever. As if to demonstrate this, he catches Meneses looking on a 2-2 fastball clocked over 90 MPH. Dan Field somehow manages to make contact with a *97* MPH fastball and he launches it into the seats. That's his 2nd HR this LCS. Tabb flies to right. Pat Jones strikes out looking. Yankees 4, Twins 2 Bottom 8th: I feel a little bad pulling Ramos, although the man did make his own bed with the 3 HRs allowed. Otherwise he walked 2 and struck out 5 in 8 innings. Mike Grigg is the man called in to pinch-hit. Obe Olthof is looking much better tonight and just cleared 100 pitches himself (he's at 101); I can't bring him out, not in 1970. Grigg grounds out to short. Morgenstern grounds to second. Pellot flies out to center field. Yankees 4, Twins 2 Top 9th: Pete Lynn comes on to pitch in his second game of the postseason. Incidentally, he threw 5 games in the ALCS and World Series last year, amassing 2 wins, 1 loss, and 1 save. Poynor pinch-hits for Yi. He hits a deceptively slow roller towards second that Marty Mendel gets to just in time to throw Poynor out by a step. Olthof will get the chance to complete this game; he flies to short center field. MacMillan belts one deep into center. It doesn't quite clear the wall but it's hit so far away that he's able to leg it out into a triple. Weiss fails to come through in the clutch with a groundout to short. Yankees 4, Twins 2 Bottom 9th: Okubo is suddenly, magically able to play second base! How about that. I mean, not *well*... he takes over there as a "defensive" replacement for Yi. Martinez, hitting .400 with 2 HRs in the ALCS going into this at-bat, homers to center field to make it a 4-3 game. Holy crap... Mike Brookes goes back-to-back - they did this in Game One, didn't they? - to tie it up. I think that's going to be it for Olthof. Maybe I shouldn't have let him pitch the 9th. The New York media will be screaming about this all offseason if we blow this. The new guy is Jesse Kelly because it has to be Jesse Kelly. Cortes stays in to hit against Kelly; the Twins don't have a lot of options against left-handed pitching that they haven't already used, and Cortes, even though he bats left-handed himself, hit .257 vs southpaws this year. He hits a ball approximately 450 feet shorter than Brookes just hit his, which is to say he pounds one into the dirt in front of home plate. Tabb picks it up and throws him out, 2-3. Villsenor flies to fairly deep left field. Brad Reed hits what looks to be a single to center but CF Micah MacMillan steals the hit away from him. We're going to extras! Yankees 4, Twins 4 Top 10th: Cardenas singles up the middle, his 2nd hit of the day. Meneses just stares at a Pete Lynn sinker for a strikeout. Dan Field flies out to center. Tabb hits a roller to second that Marty Mendel has to eat; he's safe with a single. Pat Jones grounds out 5-4. Yankees 4, Twins 4 Jon Barnes comes in to hit for Marty Mendel. He PARKS A 3-1 PITCH INTO RIGHT FIELD THAT BALL IS GOING IT IS GOING IT IS GOOOOOONE A WALK OFF HOME RUN BY JON BARNES THAT IS BALL GAME FOLKS THE TWINS WIN THEEEE TWIIIIIIIINS WIIIIIIN SEE YA IN THE WORLD SERIES Yankees 4, Twins 5 Twins 1B Angelo Martinez is named the ALCS MVP. He went 7 for 16 (.438) in the 4 games with 3 HR and 5 RBI. Pirates @ Reds Pregame: We travel to Forbes Field, where this might just be the last game played at the venerable stadium (IRL the Pirates moved out midseason but I didn't want to mess with different park factors - in retrospect I think it would have been fine). Speaking of which, if this NLCS occurred in the 90s or later, people would be talking about it like it was a media disaster, as Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, even in 1970, might just be the two smallest markets in the NL. ANYWAY, Forbes is one of the last - perhaps the last, depending on your opinion of the Astrodome - massive, spacious stadia where teams still have to play with a deadball mentality. Forbes absolutely swallows up HR attempts and so to a small extent it's understandable how the Pirates finished with the 2nd lowest HR total in the league. Today is a nice October day, with temperatures in the low 60s and a steady wind blowing out to right field. Joe Hagan (20-12, 4.26) is the Reds' starter this afternoon. His ERA jumped by nearly a run compared to '69 but an improved Reds offense and the simple fact that he went out there every day allowed him to set a new career high in wins, not to mention strikeouts (214; he K'd 213 men in 1967). He also passed the "#1 starter" mantle over to Steve Waiters this year. He's still a good, solid 3-pitch starter who throws a nasty change of pace for outs and cheap flyballs. DJ Cheeves (12-15, 3.84) is kind of an up-and-down starter. When he's on, as he was in September (2-2, 3.14), he's the model of a veteran who just knows what to do to get people out and who also possesses a fair amount of firepower in a low to mid 90s fastball and a 12 to 6 curve. When he's off, as he was in April and May (1-7, 5.37), he tries to do a little bit too much and he leaves himself open for walks and long hits (not so much HRs but that might be due to the park). Top 1st: Ortiz strikes out swinging. Wendt flies out to center. Cannon flies to right. Reds 0, Pirates 0 Bottom 1st: Hearl grounds out, 6-3. Wolcott flies into short right field. Jackson grounds out to short. Reds 0, Pirates 0 Top 2nd: Cannon whiffs on a curve. Jensen, who hit only .214 against the Pirates during the regular season, continues to get tied up by their pitchers as he hits a fly/pop-up to short right. He's 0-8 this series with 3 Ks. Williams walks. Stephen Clark, who seems to get a whole new life when there are runners on base, doubles to left-center. Williams only gets to 3rd because he is a catcher. Wilkes tops a 94 MPH fastball on the first pitch to shortstop, where Tyler Webster is just barely able to nip him by a step. Reds 0, Pirates 0 Bottom 2nd: Lawson Ks. Swerdlove has a great at-bat - 14 pitches, and the final result is a walk. He almost doubled Hagan's pitch total in one plate appearance. Connally singles into left field. Webster flies to left. Kennard flies to center. Reds 0, Pirates 0 Top 3rd: Hagan uses his pitcherly instincts to coax a walk out of Cheeves. Pedro Ortiz demonstrates why you never, ever walk the pitcher: he belts a double down the right field line, scoring Hagan and moving up 90 feet himself... then he goes PEDRO CRAZY and tries for home! He's thrown out. Score the play 9-3-5. Wendt singles past Webster, which probably would have scored Ortiz had he not committed the baserunning blunder. Bobby K walks, putting runners on first and second with just one man out. Cannon singles, scoring Wendt. The fact that Cheeves hasn't actually gotten a single batter out this inning looms large, although it's still only a 2 run game. Jensen continues the onslaught by singling up the middle and scoring Kralcevic. Williams does Cheeves a huge, huge favor by hitting a hard grounder right at 2B Marty Wolcott. Wolcott turns this into an inning-ending 4-6-3 double play. Reds 3, Pirates 0 Bottom 3rd: Cheeves has thrown 53 pitches already and Paz Lemus exists. I'm going to stick with the starter but it's closer than you might think. Cheeves flies out to right. Hearl drops a single into right. He then tries to steal on a 2-2 change; you'd think he'd be in for sure but nope, Oliver Williams guns him down. Two pitches later, Wolcott walks. Jackson hits a slow roller to third that Bobby K can't quite convert in time - Jackson is awarded with a hit, Wolcott to second base. Lawson tests Bobby K too, but this time the Reds third sacker is able to get the throw off in time for out #3. Reds 3, Pirates 0 Top 4th: Clark grounds out to third base. Wilkes hits a can of corn to left. Hagan hits one past Cheeves and into center field for a 2 out base hit. Ortiz grounds out to second. Reds 3, Pirates 0 Bottom 4th: Swerdlove flies out to deep-ish left. That would have been a HR in other parks. Connally grounds to shortstop. Webster gets a base hit up the middle. Kennard picks up his first hit of the series, a single to center. Tyler Webster gets to third on the play. I'm sure DJ Cheeves has a lot left but we're down to brass tacks. I'll bring in Mario Fernandez again. He's an unglamorous pick but as I said a couple days ago, the guy hit well in AAA. IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER because Hagan picks Kennard off of first to retire the side. Reds 3, Pirates 0 Top 5th: It's probably too early to use Paz Lemus and besides, the pitcher is due to lead off the next inning. So instead I'm going to use 25 year old Jorge Cervantez (1-2, 2.84), who pitched in 25 games doing mostly low leverage middle to long relief. He doesn't have lights-out stuff but he has great command of his pitches for such a young player. Wendt swings at the first pitch Cervantes throws - a 90 MPH fastball if you were wondering - and launches it into the Forbes Field ivy in left-center. By the time CF Justin Hearl can dig it out and get it back to the infield, Wendt is standing on third base. Bobby K hits one deep to left - a HR at the Launching Pad at least, a sacrifice fly here. Cannon grounds out to second. Jensen hits a come-backer to the pitcher that Cervantez handles cleanly for the 1-3 putout. Reds 4, Pirates 0 Bottom 5th: Carlos Carrera will pinch-hit for Cervantes to lead things off. He grounds out to shortstop. Hearl swings at a 3-1 fastball that was off the plate and turns it into a 4-3 putout. It's clear that he's pressing with his team down by 4 runs and needing a rally. Wolcott flies to center field. Reds 4, Pirates 0 Top 6th: It's Paz Time! Should he stay in, this would be his first 4 inning outing since July, but I'm probably getting ahead of myself. Lemus is, it should be said, one of those old school closers who loves staying in there for multiple innings. Williams Ks. So does Clark. Wilkes works the count to 3-2 and then singles. Hagan hits a hot shot to SS Tyler Webster that he just does manage to convert into an out, 6-3. Reds 4, Pirates 0 Bottom 6th: Jackson flies out to center. Lawson fouls out to Bobby K over at third. Swerdlove whiffs - only the second by Hagan on the day. Reds 4, Pirates 0 Top 7th: Ortiz strikes out looking at three straight fastballs. Wendt grounds to short. Kraljevic flies out to right. Reds 4, Pirates 0 Bottom 7th: Connally hits a 3-2 pitch up the middle for a base hit. Webster bloops another 2 strike pitch over the outstretched glove of Pedro Ortiz for another base hit. Joe Hagan's inability to get that third strike today is beginning to become a concern. I really want to pinch-hit for Kennard but the guys on the bench are all pretty trash at hitting (it just worked out that way). He makes good contact with a 2-2 changeup (another 2 strike at-bat!) but hits it to pretty much the worst possible place on the field, which is where 1B Stephen Clark was positioned. Clark handles the line drive and outraces Webster for a L3U double play. Paz Lemus, who had 3 hits in 15 at-bats during the entire regular season, gets his 4th of the calendar year and advances Connally to third (I'd replace Connally, who is a sloooow catcher, with a pinch-runner but it's a 4 run game - maybe if things get closer). Hearl grounds out to third base on a 2-0 count (at least!). Reds 4, Pirates 0 Top 8th: Lemus walks Cannon on 4 pitches. That was more of a respect walk than a tired walk. Jensen singles to left. Williams hits a little looper that just barely gets past 3B Andrew Kennard and into left field, loading the bases with nobody out. Stephen Clark's eyes grow to the size of saucers with men on base and so it was only inevitable that he'd single to right and knock in a run. Lemus has given up hits but he hasn't been hit, if that makes sense. Wilkes strikes out. I told you so! That brings up Joe Hagan, who hasn't been tremendous but he is throwing a shutout and so I want that for him. He hits a fly to right field that's not deep enough to score Jensen from third. Ortiz grounds out to second and Lemus escapes almost unscathed. Reds 5, Pirates 0 Bottom 8th: Wolcott walks for the second time today. It's also Hagan's 3rd. Jackson flies out to center. It was a 2 strike pitch but Brian Jackson is one of the hardest men to strike out in all of baseball. Lawson grounds into a 6-4-3 DP. Reds 5, Pirates 0 Top 9th: Lemus is about done but even a tired Paz Lemus is better than 90% of the pitchers in this league. He does give up a leadoff double down the left field line to Mike Wendt, so there is that. Wendt incidentally is 5-12 in the series with 1 double and 3 triples. Too bad he didn't get any of those with men on base! Lemus misses very, very high on a curve ball and it bounces all the way to the screen for a wild pitch. He works Bobby K to a 3-2 count - 10 pitches in the at-bat too - and gets him to hit a soft ground ball to first. Unfortunately, Ian Swerdlove boots it. Kralcevic is safe at first and Wendt is safe at home. Cannon walks on four pitches and it's clear that Lemus is done. It was that 10-pitch at-bat if you ask me. Danny Perez (11-6, 3.18) hasn't seen any action yet in the NLCS. He's a 25 year old who was called up midseason to be their 4th starter and occasional long reliever. He has a weird complement of pitches that probably makes him best suited for bullpen work, although in 2 cups of coffee and then this year's half-season, he's compiled a 14-11 record, mostly as a starter. Jensen rips one into right field, where Brian Jackson does everything he can to keep this game as close as possible with an excellent diving catch. Williams strikes out swinging. Stephen Clark... walks. What can't the man do with runners on? Wilkes singles up the middle, scoring 2 runners and probably putting this game out of reach. That brings up Joe Hagan, who's thrown 138 pitches today and doesn't exactly look unstoppable. On the other hand, if he gets through the 9th he'll always have the memory of an ALCS shutout. He stays in and gets the Pirates out of the inning with a 6-4 grounder. Reds 8, Pirates 0 Bottom 9th: Like I said, Hagan's staying in. He's about done but maybe, just maybe he can keep it going for one more inning. He strikes out Swerdlove looking (whaat?). He reaches deep into his back pocket and induces Connally to swing and miss at a roughly 80 MPH fastball that's right in the right-hander's wheelhouse. Webster singles up the middle, the 9th hit allowed by Hagan, who is also up to 151 pitches. Only sheer force of will is keeping him in this one. I bring in SS Luis Cardenas (.195, 2, 19) to pinch-hit, more as a way to try and make something happen as anything else. Cardenas did hit .310 in AAA in 1969 so maybe somewhre in his good-field, no-hit self he remembers how to make good contact. He does come through with a base hit to left. That brings up the pitcher, and coming in for him will be the backup catcher Carlos Hernandez (.250, 1, 11). I'm loath to spend him, but we are literally down to the final out. Hernandez grounds out to Mike Wendt at shortstop and the Reds are headed to the World Series! FINAL: Reds 8, Pirates 0 Joe Hagan is named NLCS MVP for the job he did today. It wasn't pretty but that's what peak performance looks like.

October 10, 1970 (WORLD SERIES Game 1)
Team Overviews
--------------------- WORLD SERIES BABYYY ------------------------ I feel like maybe I should have done this for the LCSes as well but a. this is a work in progress and b. TBH both of those series felt like they were about a team that deserved to be there and one that was going to be a quick exit. Also, I'd slightly held off more in-depth stuff like this because I'll also be doing this kind of "analysis" when I do the team write-ups. Still... let's take a position by position breakdown of these bad boys. Catcher: Minnesota's got Brad Reed (.238, 17, 66), a hard-slugging guy who was weirdly left off the All-Star roster this year after having made it the past two. He got a little HR crazy this season, which did allow him to set a career high but also found him striking out more than 100 times for the first time in his career. For the Reds, Oliver Williams (.274, 6, 64) is a solid hitting no-frills player. He calls a good game and is known around the locker room as a high intensity guy. Advantage: Twins First Base: Angelo Martinez (.276, 35, 96) is a guy who sometimes loses a bit of the limelight to more well known players but that's a bit unfortunate, as he's a future Hall of Famer in his own right. He's made 10 All Star Games, including 1970's (after a 3 year absence), has won 2 MVP awards, and just added a League Championship MVP to his trophy case. Cincinnati's Stephen Clark is the Reds' all-time leader in hits. He may have lost a few miles off his swing but the 32 year old still loves to be up there when the game is on the line. Advantage: Twins Second Base: Marty Mendel (.255, 0, 38) is nobody's idea of a star but if you look up this team in ten years he's bound to be one of the most well remembered players. He's a solid fielder for his position and hits well enough for an 8 hole hitter. Pedro Ortiz (.306, 6, 56) *is* a star. He's not a power hitter but he's hit over .300 in each of the last four seasons. He's got excellent range at second and if he's a little too aggressive on the basepaths, that only adds to his fan favorite status. Advantage: Reds Third Base: Mike Brookes (.267, 39, 112) finished the season with 140 walks, 2 off of Henning Rasmussen's modern record set back in 1955. Just in case you thought that was all he could do, he also paced the Junior Circuit in HRs and RBIs and set career highs in those marks as well. Bobby Kraljevic (.297, 14, 89) isn't the household name that Brookes is but he really ramped up his batting eye in his first full season in the majors and now draws bases on balls almost as often as Brookes does. Advantage: Twins (sorry, Bobby K!) Shortstop: Danny Pellot (.257, 3, 25) was pushed into a starting role in the second half of the season due to the injury to Daniel Gilmet (.291, 5, 33, and who is back in a week - perhaps in time the last couple games of a long series). He is what the kids call "scrappy". Mike Wendt (.264, 15, 71) has nice pop for a middle infielder and could become a star if he lerns to cut down on the strikeouts (136 this year). Advantage: Reds, at least until Daniel Gilmet returns.\ Left Field: Alejandro Cortes (.259, 24, 70) is seen around the league as a disappointment because in 1966 he hit 43 HRs and he's never come close to that since. It doesn't help that he misses 40ish games a season due to various injuries. Truth be told, though, even if he might not be the perennial MVP candidate that he looked like he would become 4 years ago, the 32 year old is a solid, above average starter with some nice pop and Gold Glove quality range in left. Junior Cannon (.279, 28, 99) also has some fans cranky that he couldn't live up to previous expectations - in his case, he went .354/28/63 in half a season last year. He was the rockstar of the lineup this year anyway. Give it a rest, fans! Advantage: Reds Center Field: Nobody's going to be writing essays about Jose Villasenor (.274, 12, 36). He simply gets the job done. He's smart, he knows his limitations, and he has enough pop to hit 6th in the order. Chris Wilkes (.246, 3, 49) is... the best center fielder the Reds have. He has no power - just 17 extra-base hits this year and for a guy whose hitting profile looks so much like a defense-first guy, he's not really a great center fielder either. Advantage: Twins Right Field: Lou Morgenstern (.239, 19, 72) won the Rookie of the Year in 1963 and has had to live that down ever since. This year he overreacted to the sudden increase in taters, setting new highs in HRs and coming close in RBIs but also hitting a career low .239, 30 points off his career average. He did walk a lot (77 times, also a career high), which mitigate the lost of average somewhat. Justin Jensen (.226, 42, 96) was, at least once Indians 1B Ernesto Garcia (.213, 33, 79) was lost for the season, the most extreme HR hitter in baseball. Virtually every at bat was a dinger, a walk (101 of them), or a strikeout (147). The BA was a career low, which is a little surprising given that he struck out 314 times between 1966 and 1967. Advantage: [color=red"]Reds[/color], I guess? Starting Pitching: I've discussed these guys in some depth elsewhere. The top guys are a push, I guess; Steve Waiters and Angelo Ramos were both historically great this year. I think I have to go with the Twins for the 2 and 3 roles, though; nothing against Tom Bertan and Joe Hagan, but they're mid-rotation guys who win for you because they're average to above average and get lots of run support, whereas Chris Benavides in particular can win games without support (as he had to this year) and Mike Larsen also doesn't give up a lot of runs at once (usually) (ALCS excepted). Bullpen: I personally felt trepidation about using Pete Lynn a lot in the Twins bullpen but in retrospect I think I might have just been expecting too much. He was fine. No, he's not Paz Lemus or Montay Luiso, but there are only two players of that caliber in the league. The rest of the 'pen is... average. They expected former Cleveland closer Todd Theisen to have a major role but he went down with a torn flexor tendon at the end of June and won't be back until the All-Star Break next year. That leaves it to the Reds, almsot by default. Ricky Rosas is better than Lynn, if only slightly, and the Reds also have a lights-out setup man in Greg Shrewsbury as well as a monstrous lefty specialist in Zach Hale (0-0, 2.78) who almost certainly deserves more playing time in 1971. Major Transactions --------------------- October 9: The Tigers trade CF Bubba Wilson (.268, 3, 30), SP Vince Akright (11-14, 3.61), P Richard Pulido (1-1, 2.05), and 3B David Salinas (.273, 3, 23) to the Senators for RF Alvin Romero (.323, 5, 40), SP Bruce Rubio (7-3, 2.10), injured SP Kent Coffey (10-9, 2.65), and 3B Rob Curran (.231, 4, 33). The Tigers waive their right to conduct a physical on Coffey; he's still suffering shoulder inflammation and isn't expected to start throwing again until spring training. This move as I've got it set up is basically one pushing the Senators, whose lease at RFK Stadium runs out after next year, to contend or at least be more competitive. Akright is potentially the jewel of this trade, as he won 22 games in 1969, but don't sleep on Alvin Romero, the MLB leader in steals with 72. The haul Detroit is getting back here, frankly, feels a lot better (IRL this was the Denny McClain trade, which netted Detroit Aurelio Rodriguez and 2 guys who'd each go on to play in the ASG in the Auto City). News -------------------- October 9: The Khmer Republic is declared in Cambodia, escalating the civil war between the Cambodian government and the Khmer Rouge. October 10: Fiji declares its independence. October 10: The FLQ kidnaps another Quebecois politician, the province's Minister of Labour, Pierre Laporte. His body will be found in the trunk of a 1968 Chevrolet Biscayne 7 days later. 40 years later a journalist produced a documentary that asserted that Laporte was choked to death in a moment of panic. Not sure how you choke a person to death in a moment of panic but then, I have not watched this documentary. Game Infos -------------------- Twins @ Reds Pregame: It's the NL's turn for home field advantage so the Series begins in Cincinnati. It's a cool, blustery day, partly cloudy and 53 degrees, with the wind blowing out to center. Such mixed signals! I think overall that favors pitching though. Chris Benavides is the man starting since Angelo Ramos just won Game Four of the ALCS for the Twinkies. He won his only appearance in the ALCS, which by the way makes him .500 lifetime after the regular season is over (he went 1-2 last year). The all-time playoff wins leaders, by the way: 1. Andy Harmon, NYG/SFG, 1946-62: 6-2, 1.84, 10 G, 9 GS 1. Jose Luquin, NYY, 1953-1966: 6-6, 3.11, 14 GS 1. Zachary Schenker, BRO/LAD, 1950-1966: 6-3, 2.83, 11 GS Dan Ballard, Jeff Borden, and Angelo Ramos(!) are all tied with 4. A long World Series could see my personal favorite for the AL Cy Young become the 4th man in modern MLB history to win 6 post-season games. Steve Waiters had never played past the regular season before this year. It's to be expected, as we only got into divisional play last season and CIN has only played in the World Series one other time in their history. In case I didn't make it clear before, Waiters narrowly missed winning the pitching Triple Crown this year: 2nd in wins (25-6), 1st in strikeouts (267), 2nd in ERA (2.47). If only the person who passed him in Ws and ERA wasn't the same guy... Top 1st: Morgenstern singles up the middle. Pellot flies to left. Martinez watches a curve almost but not quite fall through the zone for strike three. Brookes chooses to swing at a 3-0 pitch and grounds to short. Twins 0, Reds 0 Bottom 1st: Ortiz singles to left. Wendt grounds to third - 3B Mike Brookes makes the quick throw to second but 2B Marty Mendel is upended before he can make the pivot. That's a fielder's choice, 5-4. Wendt breaks for second on a 1-1 pitch and Twins C Brad Reed doesn't even attempt a throw. Bobby K works out a 9-pitch walk. Cannon swings and misses at a pitch that's way inside. Jensen singles to left. Wendt barrels through third base and attempts to score the first run of the game, but a strike by LF Alejandro Cortes cuts him down to end the Reds' threat. Twins 0, Reds 0 Top 2nd: Cortes leads it off with a base hit to center. You know what they say about guys who make a great play in the field and then get to bat the next inning. Cortes is thrown out caught stealing. That's what they say, I think. They single and then they get thrown out on the bases. Villasenor walks. Reed singles to right. Waiters clips Mendel with a 2-seamer to load the bases. Waiters cuts down Benavides with a 1-2 change. With 2 out, Morgenstern belts a double all the way to the center field wall. Villasenor and Reed score on the play. Pellot strikes out swinging. Twins 2, Reds 0 Bottom 2nd: Williams flies to center. Clark lines to left for a base hit and then gets to second when Alejandro Cortes commits a rare miscue in the field. He committed just one error all season long. Wilkes grounds out to short, Clark motoring into third. Waiters grounds out to shortstop. Twins 2, Reds 0 Top 3rd: Martinez grounds out to short. Brookes grounds out to third. Cortes strikes out looking. Looks like Waiters has settled down. Twins 2, Reds 0 Bottom 3rd: Ortiz hits a hot grounder to third that consumes 3B Mike Brookes. He's on with an infield single. Ortiz is thrown out, caught stealing, at 2nd. Wendt grounds out to third. Kraljevic walks in a 10 pitch at-bat. Cannon also walks, this time on four pitches. Benavides recovers and strikes Jensen out swinging. Twins 2, Reds 0 Top 4th: Villasenor grounds out to Bobby K at third base. Reed walks. Mendel grounds into a 4-6-3 double play. Twins 2, Reds 0 Bottom 4th: Williams grounds out, 6-3. Clark flies out to deep center. Wilkes hits a ball to short and Danny Pellot has to eat it for an infield single. Waiters hits a grounder to second; Marty Mendel drops the transfer and Waiters is on at first with the second straight infield hit. Ortiz hits a screamer down the left field line for a double and scoring Wilkes. Wendt walks to load the bases with two out. Benavides walks in a run as he can't get Bobby K to swing at anything. Cannon flies to right. Twins 2, Reds 2 Top 5th: Benavides is already up to 100 pitches. No way he'll finish this game but it's too early to lift him for a pinch-hitter. He grounds out 5-3. Morgenstern flies to right. Pellot flies to left. Twins 2, Reds 2 Bottom 5th: Justin Jensen hits his first HR of the postseason off an 89 MPH fastball that Benavides put just a little too far into the zone. Williams singles to right. Benavides has allowed a ton of baserunners in this game - 9 hits and 5 walks - and is very fortunate to only be losing by 1 run. Clark is asked to bunt - blasphemy! - and he obliges, sending Williams to 2nd base. Benavides walks Wilkes to put the double play in order (note: not intentional, but he did walk Wilkes on 4 pitches so probably pitching around). Waiters lays down an excellent bunt, moving Williams and Wilkes to 2nd and 3rd with 2 out. Ortiz grounds to third. Twins 2, Reds 3 Top 6th: Martinez flies to left. Brookes grounds out to third. Cortes walks. Villasenor hits a grounder to short and SS Mike Wendt goes the short way for the inning-ending fielder's choice. Twins 2, Reds 3 Bottom 6th: I'm tentatively leaving Benavides in but people are throwing in the bullpen (note: I don't use this mechanic; that was what we in the business like to call "flavor text"). Wendt walks to lead it off. Okay, that's a sign. Benavides, normally a guy with excellent control, just could not keep the curve in the zone today. He finishes with 5+ innings pitched and 3 ER on 9 hits and *7* walks. His previous season high in bases on balls was 5 in a 12 inning game vs the Royals on September 19 (he also struck out 10 batters in that game). Since the next two guys up are left-handers, I'm bringing in Ricardo Magdaleno to try and rescue the inning. Bobby K singles up the middle, with Wendt, who, as you might have guessed, is rather fast, getting to third on the play. Magdaleno puts Cannon down on strikes. Jensen singles in Wendt on a base hit to right. Williams hits a groundball to first base and just barely beats out the throw coming back from second - score it 3-6. Kraljevic moves on to 3rd. Clark hits a comebacker that Magdaleno fields cleanly and fires to first for out number 3. Twins 2, Reds 4 Top 7th: Reed strikes out on 3 pitches, Waiters' 5th K of the game. Mendel flies out. I'm going to use OF Guillermo Maldonado to pinch-hit here, both to get the platoon advantage on the right-handed Waiters and also to save Griggs and Barnes for later. Maldonado grounds out to second. Twins 2, Reds 4 Bottom 7th: Pete Lynn could probably make it through 2 innings, but I'm not sure about 3 and so, ever the optimist, I bring in Jim Marceau instead. Marceau is a 29 year old who found success in short relief for Minnesota over the past year and a half after they purchased him from the Seattle Pilots last July. I'm not sure why he was ever exposed in the expansion draft in the first place, as he combines a mid-90s fastball with a curve that serves as his out pitch. He struck out 47 men in 56 innings this year. Wilkes singles into right. He's 2 for 3 on the game and hitting .385 in the postseason. All Steve Waiters does is hit bunts; he does this one more time, moving Wilkes into scoring position. Ortiz singles up the middle; with the team already up by 2, the bench coach decides to keep Wilkes at third base. Wendt singles up the middle as well, with Wilkes scoring and Ortiz getting into third base. Bobby K hits a smash to short but Wendt takes out 2B Marty Mendel before he can complete the DP. Ortiz scores on the play. Cannon hits a grounder down the line that just gets past Angelo Martinez at first base and goes for extra bases. Bobby K scores all the way from first base, just beating the tag, but then on a heads-up play C Brad Reed sees Cannon going for third base and throws him out there. Twins 2, Reds 7 Top 8th: Wilkes is in complete control of this game so far. I don't see any good reason to pull him. Morgenstern flies to left. Pellot strikes out swinging. Martinez drops a 3-2 pitch into center field for a two out base hit. Brookes grounds out to second base. Twins 2, Reds 7 Bottom 8th: Marceau got roughed up last inning but a. he's good for more than one inning most games, and b. this is no longer a situation to bring Pete Lynn into anyway. Jensen, who's been having a monster game so far (3-4, 1 R, 2 RBI, and the HR), strikes out swinging. Williams Ks (reverse Ks but I don't know how to draw that character). Clark grounds out to third base. Twins 2, Reds 7 Top 9th: Steve Waiters is up to 130 pitches but in 1970 that's still a good number, he's not quite done, and the Reds have 5 runs for him to try and get the complete game. He strikes out Cortes; that's K #7. Villasenor strikes out as well. Pinch-hitting for Brad Reed is Mike Grigg. He singles over the head of 2B Pedro Ortiz into right field. I leave Marty Mendel in to face Waiters and he flies out to left. FINAL: Twins 2, Reds 7 The Twins just plain had no answer for Steve Waiters after he settled down. Even if Chris Benavides hadn't been uncharacteristically wild, I don't think the Twins had much of a chance in this one.

Team Overviews
--------------------- WORLD SERIES BABYYY ------------------------ With the Reds off to a 1-0 lead, the Twins hope that the Game 2 matchup is better. Also, Cincinnati has yet to lose a game in the playoffs; for sure, the Twins need to break that spell before they can hope to win against the Oldest Team in Baseball. Major Transactions --------------------- October 11: What is with all these big trades during the playoffs? The Red Sox trade OF Josh Teague (.230, 17, 51), C Estevan Garza (.270, 2, 22), and RP Luis Flores (2-2, 3.63) to the Angels for 3B Kristian Schneider (.304, 6, 58), CF Jim Coleman (.311, 2, 10), and RP Bubba Touchton (8-6, 3.55, 9 Sv). This trade (which was originally basically Tony Conigliaro for Doug Griffin and Ken Tatum) is one that I think could work for both sides. The Red Sox get a stud at third base in Schneider, who is now on his 3rd team in 2 years but that's not his fault. The Angels think Travis Corley (.314, 1, 6 in a September call-up) is ready to take the reins there. The other big piece coming to the Sawx is Bubba Touchton, who was the Angels' closer last year but to be honest their setup man Tanzan Kihara (1-2, 2.38) has a better profile for that role. The Angels' big get is Josh Teague, who makes an already crowded outfield even more crowded; he's also a year removed from hitting .312 with 25 HR in 362 at-bats, so the Angels hope to be able to make him work as a platoon guy (a very popular platoon guy, it looks like. Estevan Garcia was Boston's backup catcher this year; the fact that the Angels are bringing him in is a sign that they've lost patience with Mike Perez (.163, 13, 40), who a year ago this time was thought to be a difference-maker for this lineup. News -------------------- October 11: Eleven French soldiers are killed in a shootout with rebels in Chad, which is in the midst of a long civil war that began in 1965 and is showing no signs of stopping. Game Infos -------------------- Twins @ Reds Pregame: The temps today have warmed up to 66 degrees and with the wind blowing out to right at 7MPH, I'm guessing that hitters should have an advantage today. Will hitters facing the Reds have an advantage, though? Cincinnati has yet to lose in the postseason. Mike Larsen would rather forget his first outing, which ended in the Twins' first (before yesterday, only) loss of the postseason. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with him; he just let the ball get up in the zone a couple times and wound up allowing 25% of the HR total he allowed in all of the regular season. Tom Bertan did a good job vs the Pirates but he's not playing a lineup with 2 automatic outs at the bottom of it and a bench that's nearly free and clear of talent. If nothing else, Tom is going to need to punch out more guys in this game; it's always a mystery that a guy who throws as hard as he does doesn't get more Ks. Top 1st: Morgensten flies to right. Pellot strikes out. Martinez flies to deep center. Twins 0, Reds 0 Bottom 1st: Ortiz grounds out to third. Wendt strikes out swinging. Kraljevic walks. A 1-1 pitch from Larsen lands in the dirt and C Brad Reed can't handle it; it's a wild pitch. Cannon hits a double over the head of CF Jose Villasenor, driving in Bobby K. Jensen drives the first pitch he sees into right for a base hit, and Cannon scores from second. Williams pops out to 2B Marty Mendel in shallow right field. Twins 0, Reds 2 Top 2nd: Brookes swings at a ball that practically hit him, it's so inside, and flies to right. Cortes hits a lazy groundball to shortstop and is fast enough to beat his way to first before Mike Wendt can even get a throw off. Infield hit. Villasenor sacrifices Cortes along to second base, 2-3. Brad Reed grounds to short. Twins 0, Reds 2 Bottom 2nd: Clark flies to left. Wilkes smacks one back through the box for a base hit. Bertan puts down a great bunt to advance Wilkes, 3-4 (the Reds executed the wheel so that 1B Stephen Clark could get a jump on the ball but still didn't catch the leading runner). Ortiz flies to left. Twins 0, Reds 2 Top 3rd: Mendel grounds out to short. Larsen, an .097 hitter during the regular season, hits a little blooper up the middle that falls in for a base hit. Morgenstern battles Bertan to 7 pitches but strikes out on a 3-2, 94MPH fastball. Pellot grounds out, 6-3. Twins 0, Reds 2 Bottom 3rd: Wendt grounds out to 3rd. Kraljevic does the same. Cannon draws a 2 out walk. Jensen grounds out to short, 6-4. Twins 0, Reds 2 Top 4th: Martinez flies to center. Brookes flies out to Jensen, who ranges over into medium right center field. Cortes grounds out to second. Twins 0, Reds 2 Bottom 4th: Williams strikes out looking. Stephen Clark stares at a 3-2 circle change for strike three. Wilkes walks. Bertran grounds out 5-3. Twins 0, Reds 2 Top 5th: Villasenor hits a ground ball down the LF line. It just does get past Bobby K and Villasenor turns it into a leadoff double. Reed pops the first pitch into medium center field. Mendel goes down 6-3. Larsen helps out his own cause with a 2-out base hit up the middle. Villasenor, who is speedy in the way you expect a centerfielder to be speedy, scores all the way from second base. Morgenstern is robbed of extra bases by Junior Cannon, who makes a diving stop of a dying quail in left field. Twins 1, Reds 2 Bottom 5th: Ortiz strikes out, Larsen's 4th. Wendt grounds out 6-3. Kraljevic hits a grounder to 2nd and is thrown out by half a step. Twins 1, Reds 2 Top 6th: Pellot strikes out looking - it's the mid-90s fastball again. Martinez strikes out looking at a forkball that I think might have missed the plate (okay, it totally did miss the plate). Brookes is hit in the foot on an 0-2 pitch. Cortes flies out to left. Twins 1, Reds 2 Bottom 6th: Cannon hits a hard grounder to first. 1B Angelo Martinez takes a step back to field it and outruns Cannon to the bag for the out. Jensen strikes out looking at a low and outside fastball. He's not the kind of guy to argue balls and strikes but maybe he should have on that. Williams flies to right field. Top 7th: Villasenor hits a hard liner to right-center but Wilkes gets a good jump and makes a leaping catch. One down. Reed grounds out to shortstop. I'm bringing in Mike Grigg slightly early to pinch-hit for 2B Marty Mendel because the Twins just need to get something going against this guy. My little ploy fails; Grigg grounds to second base. Twins 1, Reds 2 Bottom 7th: SS Jun-Ho Baek comes in to replace Mendel/Grigg. He'll play shortstop with Pellot moving to his customary 2nd. Baek, who was signed out of Korea as a free agent in 1968, is nobody's idea of a good hitter, but he's a solid SS and can lay down a bunt or something. Clark grounds out to 2nd, where Danny Pellot now resides. Wilkes gets jammed by a high and inside forkball (wow, talk about missing a pitch) and grounds out to Pellot at second (and talk about swinging high). Bertan's cruising and has thrown just 80 pitches, so he's staying in. He flies out to right. Twins 1, Reds 2 Top 8th: Larsen's pitched much, much better today but he's still the losing party and the Twins can just taaaaaste that W. Zach Dempsey (.233, 5, 25), who I switched in between playoff rounds, will pinch-hit. Dempsey's much more of a defensive specialist but he does have the platoon advantage here; he hit .258 vs RHP with 5 HR and 24 RBI in 182 at-bats. He also hit .261 as a pinch-hitter. Today he grounds out to second. Morgenstern strikes out looking at a forkball that's actually in the right part of the zone. Pellot grounds to second. Twins 1, Reds 2 Bottom 8th: It's a 1 run game late and that means it's time for the stopper, Pete Lynn. This is Lynn's 3rd game pitched this postseason; his lifetime postseason stats (which, okay, are this year and last year) are 3-1, a 2.25 ERA, and 1 save. Ortiz grounds out 3 unassisted. Wendt flies out to center field. Kraljevic grounds out to Mike Brookes at third base. It's hang-on time! Twins 1, Reds 2 Top 9th: Martinez walks a curveball go by him on a 2-2 count. If Linda Rondstadt ever writes a song called "Curved Bayou", it would be very appropriate to this at-bat. Brookes walks for the 4th time this postseason and 144th time in the calendar year (and I need to check after the game if good old Henning Rasmussen did anything in the postseason of 1955 - Brookes might just be the all-time leader in "most walks including the postseason but not spring training because come on give me a break"). Bertan's only thrown 103 pitches. He's probably good for an entire extra inning or two if need be. Cortes belts a ball to deep right center field but it hangs up just enough for RF Justin Jensen to catch it. Brookes advances to second on the loud out. Villasenor comes through IN THE CLUTCH with a grounder down the first base line that scoots through for a double. TIE GAME! Reed is intentionally walked to bring up Baek, who, statistically speaking, is a terrible hitter. Statistically speaking, he walks to load the bases. I have a decision to make and I make it: Pete Lynn wants to throw 5 innings but we can win this game with a hit, so Jon Barnes is called in. Bertan walks him in and the Twins take their first lead for (I think) the first time this series. Morgenstern hits a flare to left but it stays up long enough for LF Junior Cannon to get underneath it. Twins 3, Reds 2 Bottom 9th: With Eason used and Jim Marceau tired from throwing 2 innings and 37 pitches yesterday, I'm going to call on veteran Pete Eason (1-3, 4.26). Eason's a former starter for Minnesota who's been unable to stay healthy the past 4 years. He threw in 33 games in '70, allowing 43 hits in 38 innings. He did somewhat rescue his year with a 1.59 ERA in very limited time in September (4 games, 5.2 IP), and the peripherals (35 K, 13 W) indicate that maybe he was just hit-unlucky. Cannon keeps up that sad, unlucky feeling with a base hit to right. Jensen erases Cannon and himself with a 4-6-3 double play. Down to their last out, Williams belts one into right but is stuck at first with his own speed. The Reds remove him for a pinch-runner, CF Ben Menke (.204, 1, 12). Menke, a former starter for the White Sox, was traded to the Reds this offseason for P Jim Truss. He played sparingly for the Reds as a late-inning defensive replacement for Chris Wilkes and... a pinch-runner. Clark pulls a Mighty Casey and strikes out to end the game. FINAL: Twins 3, Reds 2 The Twins break the Reds' spell and steal home field advantage.
