A pretty good start to the season, hard to tell trends after 10 games, but 6-4 is good enough for the start.

Batting AVG: .327 (1st) - b*tchin
Homeruns: 9 (T-16th)
Walks: 21 (T-30th)
Stolen Bases: 16 (6th) - i figure this rank will get even higher
Runs Scored: 60 (T-5th) - not bad

Pitching ERA: 4.04 (12th) - Eh, this needs to lower itself. I'm a bit surprised 4.04 is good enough for 12th
Opponents AVG: .296 (29th)
HRs Allowed: 6 (T-5th)
Walks Allowed: 27 (9th)
Runs Allowed: 51 (18th)

Wednesday 4/5/2008 :
Jeremy Hermida sets a new single game AL-Record for Strikeouts with 6.

6 - 4 sim and in first place so far...

Batting AVG: .257 (21st)
Homeruns: 17 (T-3rd)
Walks: 37 (T-5th)
Stolen Bases: 14 (9th)
Runs Scored: 54 (T-8th)

Pitching ERA: 3.59 (8th)
Opponents AVG: .239 (7th)
HRs Allowed: 10 (20th)
Walks Allowed: 32 (21st)
Runs Allowed: 45 (11th)

I'd like to get those walks allowed and homers allowed down...

Per wikipedia:

He receives the Olympic Rings or a "Texas Star" for striking out five times and the "horn" for striking out six times in a game - a rare occurrence, which in the history of major league play has only been accomplished in extra innings games.

[Providence A's]

well, apparently he did it in a 21 inning game

http://www.crazyball.allsimbaseball1...les/box56.html

0 for 7 with 6 k's and 2 walks. He played the entire game.

Adam Jones with the game winning 2-run homer in the top of the 21st.

[NYgiantsfan5689]

WOW. that is ridiculous. some good stuff right there from the first sim haha this is definitely a promising league

Magglio Ordonez was ejected in the 21st for arguing a strike three call.

[Providence A's]

my bullpen gave me 14 shutout innings in the game (Cox, Casilla, Lopez, Kim, Dotel, Hines, Ramos). My pitchers had 23 k's...my batters had 20.

[Providence A's]

oh, and apparently Magglio Ordonez was tired of playing and got ejected for arguing strikes in the 21st inning It only took 7 and a half hours to complete.

[NYgiantsfan5689]

Joaquin Arias was named Player of the Week!
He batted .577 in 26 AB, with 2 HR and 6 RBI.

No wonder i'm first in batting average

[Halladay_is_God]

a decent 1st sim, went 6-4

Batting AVG: .268 (16th)
Homeruns: 9 (T-16th)
Walks: 33 (13th)
Stolen Bases: 15 (T-7th)
Runs Scored: 47 (18th)

Pitching ERA: 3.07 (4th)
Opponents AVG: .218 (1st)
HRs Allowed: 5 (1st)
Walks Allowed: 34 (T-24th)
Runs Allowed: 33 (3rd)

hitting didn't come though like I thought it might but it seems like it average enough

pitching was great from both the roation and bullpen except the walks allowed

[Bon Bon]

I had some surpises with this 1st SIM and some disappoitments. Josh Barfield has been a big surprise while Phil Hughes has been somewhat of a disappointment so far. 4-6 record

[ljshorty89]

Nice first sim: 8-2
Batting AVG: .305 (2nd)
Homeruns: 8 (T-20th)
Walks: 21 (30th)
Stolen Bases: 15 (7th)
Runs Scored: 63 (T-1st)

Pitching ERA: 2.22 (1st)
Opponents AVG: .227 (4th)
HRs Allowed: 7 (T-7th)
Walks Allowed: 21 (4th)
Runs Allowed: 32 (2nd)


-I guess the power could improve, but at 8-2, I'm not too concerned. The pitching has been great with Sheets' ERA at .59, and Wheeler and Gagne still having not given up a run.
