Buffa Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Hello guys, I'm from Italy, perhaps the only Pirates fan in my country . First of all i apologize myself for my bad English so i need that your comments (if there will be) be short and comprehensive to me. Briefly i said that my settings are: DIFFICULTY = ALL STAR ROSTERS = REALMANIA 2.5 + PROGRESSION V.2 DATAFILE = RODDATA2 modded by myself for a better Broadcast View SLIDERS = tweaked a little bit (you know, they are the Pirates!). What's new in this Dinasty? I will ask you for helpful suggestions, not only comments. Every week you could intervene by a poll in the team's management, lineups&pitching rotations, call-up&send-down and so on. This week before starting I asked you which outfielders and SP at spot #5 i have to choose. MY first two polls will run only for one day, next ones at least for two days. Please don't forget to see my results at http://it.geocities.com/rusellum/pit/PIT.html, so you can suggest me the best for my Pirates.

Sarginto Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Una persona che piace baseball in Italia? Non ho pensato che una persona segue baseball in Italia! Sorry if my Italian is bad. I'm almost fluent! Anyway, I'm looking forward to a dynasty by an Italian! I didn't think Italians had an interest in baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted my first game report; for next ones there will be more on action pictures but I think to post only the most considerable games, cause of i need too much time to create report as i like. I'll play all the games and you can see my dinasty at http://it.geocities.com/rusellum/pit/PIT.html Have you italian relatives? Ciao from Italy.

Buffa Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 4/6/2005 MILWAUKEE BREWERS (0-1)@PITTSBURGH PIRATES (1-0) Click to enlarge The Pirates beat in the doublehead the Brewers, not really an enough tough test. Both Wilson hit scoring run doubles. J. Bay added a single and a double with no RBI, K. Wells pitched 6.1 strong innings allowing 6 hits to Milwaukee, struck out five and walked two. D. Ross hit his first single driving in one run that broke the tie at fourth. M. Gonzalez allowed four hits and one earned run in 0.2 innings. Starting Pitchers: In the field: Mesa for the last inning Linescore Notes from Milwaukee LP. D. Davis (L 0-1) 5.1 IP, 2R, 6H, 3BB, 5 SO L. Overbay 3/5 C. Lee 2/5 R. Branyan 2/4, RBI J. Bay is voted as MVP of the game (2/4 season avg .500) Boxscores So next series Pittsburgh Pirates @ S.Diego Padres. I think to post two of the four matches and then for other two i'll publish a short review. I need desperatly a lefthander setup: suggest me a lot of names and i'll try to trade for them. At last, the ownership from Italy should like some Italian players to be in the Pirates roster, other than Piazza or Baldelli. Have you any names? Thank you in advance, ciao a tutti.

Buffa Posted July 27, 2005 Author Share Posted July 27, 2005 4/7-8/2005 Pittsburgh @ S. Diego Game 1 PIRATES 1 - PADRES 2 Starting Pitchers: W A. Otsuka (1-0) L S.Torres (0-1) S T. Hoffman (1-0) A few hits match with a decent pitching game by Redman. Pirates leaded until 6th then S.Diego definitely came back with a bouncer by pitcher W.Williams to the center off S. Torres, bringing in the winning run. *Sorry I lost my boxscores in the hotel near Petco Park. Game 2 Starting Pitchers: A thrilling game as you never saw! As usual Pittsburgh at lead thanks to an homer to the left by Redman. J. Fogg at first apparition allowed only three hits during his six innings with a BB and three K's. Then bullpen came in: M. Gonzalez, first pitch at a sweet location and bum! a solo shot by R. Hernandez and the game was tied. McClendon fainted in the dugout! In the attempt to catch the ball J. Bay hurted himself with a minor PCL sprain (7 days). In the 13th S. Torres allowed a double to M. Sweeney so losing his 2nd game. Image of the Day W: R. Seanez (1-0) L: S. Torres (2-0) Notes from S.Diego: B.Lawrence 7.0 IP 8 H 1 ER 3 SO 1 HR P. Nevin 3/4 R. Hernandez 2/5 HR RBI M. Sweeney 1/1 RBI Help me! I'll try to trade for K.Mercker or D. Marte, I wanna send down M. Gonzalez. Other suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffa Posted August 7, 2005 Author Share Posted August 7, 2005 4/11/2005 Pittsburgh @ Milwaukee McClendon said:"...ours is a team which has time need to grow and improve." From Italy they said:"...stop losing!" Pittsburgh's bullpen was not able to preserve the advantage when Grabow comes in for K.Wells with two bases loaded. Starting pitchers The Game Image of the day Notes from Milwaukee: W. Obermuller 7IP 11H 3ER 1BB ERA 3.86 G. Jenkins 2/4 2RBI HR S. Scarborough 1/3 2RBI HR Game 2: Sorry but I lost screenshots! That was the score Only one thing to say: in the 8th S.Torres on the mound and Milwaukee drove in five runs; Torres lost his third game. Pittsburgh's hitters didn't help never finding the right ball. After the game J.Grabow was sent down to Indianapolis and they called up M.Johnston to replace S.Torres as setup. From Italian newspapers: "...maybe Pirates need a new team's management?" Unfortunately here where I'm writing from, we have only good soccer trainers. So next game, third one @ Milwaukee, could be the final test. Don't miss it!

Buffa Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 4/13/2005 Pittsburgh @ Milwaukee He has gone! Milwaukee swept away the Pirates in a close result game. Pittsburgh took the lead in the 2th and 4th with Castillo and above all J.Wilson (HR) but as usual bullpen hadn't able to minimize Milwaukee's rally. After the match a call came from Italy: "Thanks Mr. McClendon but you're out"; pitching coach was temporarily named as GM.

Buffa Posted August 12, 2005 Author Share Posted August 12, 2005 4/15/2005 Chicago Cubs @ Pittsburgh Pirates First game without McClendon in the bench substituted by pitching coach Spin Williams. The guys scared by the news from Italy, a complete rearrangement in the roster, played very intensely as they never did before. So in the 1st inning they took the lead by 3 runs but immediately in the 2th Ramirez and Burnitz hit solo home runs. In the 6th J.Dubois doubled for two runs giving the lead to Cubs. It seemed another x in the loss column but in the 8th a row of three singles loaded the bases. C.Wilson and J.Bay brought in 3 runs off reliever Novoa. R.White and J.Mesa pitched strong innings not allowing hits to the Chicago's sluggers and so it was the WIN Starting pitchers Image of the day C.Wilson is voted as MVP of the game: 2/4 2B 2RBI 1SO AVG .256 Notes from Chicago: G.Rusch 6IP 6H 3ER 1SO ERA 6.55 R.Novoa 1IP 4H 3ER ERA 11.57 A.Ramirez 1/4 RBI HR 1SO J.Burnitz 1/4 RBI HR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
