sfgiantsflgators Posted December 30, 2006 Author Share Posted December 30, 2006 Pool 4, Round 1 Pollet Crafty, Musial Powerful In 5-1 Cardinal Victory Stan Musial had a characteristically great game, going 2-3 with a triple and a home run. Here, in the third inning, is Musial's triple to left center. He would later score the first Cardinal run of the game on a sacrifice fly by Enos Slaughter. Stan Musial would be back in the thick of things in the fifth inning, following up a home run by Harry Walker with one of his own for a 3-0 St. Louis lead. Cardinals starter Howie Pollet pitched well today, going 7+ strong innings, allowing one run on seven hits while striking out nine. His lone run allowed would come in the eighth inning on a RBI double by Marv Throneberry. He would be pulled in favor of Ken Burkhart with runners on second and third, and nobody out. The first batter Ken Burkhart would face was Mets leadoff hitter Elio Chacon (left). Burkhart fooled Chacon with a slider away, and then induced a weak fly out by Felix Mantilla for a quick two outs. After intentionally walking Richie Ashburn to load the bases, Frank Thomas flew out to left fielder Terry Moore (right) for the final out of the inning. With the score now 3-1 in the Cardinals favor, St. Louis went to work in the bottom of the eighth to get some insurance for Ken Burkhart in the ninth. It wouldn't take long. The first hitter, Enos Slaughter, singled up the middle to bring Whitey Kurowski (pictured) and his 0-fer day (with 2 K's) to the plate. Kurowski made up for all that with one swing, blasting a towering shot into the left field stands to give the Cardinals a 5-1 lead.

sfgiantsflgators Posted December 31, 2006 Author Share Posted December 31, 2006 Pool 4, Round 1 Furillo's Walkoff Erases Late Comeback By Reds Jackie Robinson turned in a huge game for the Dodgers today, going 3-4 with two home runs and five RBI. In the second inning, Gordy Coleman hit a solo home run for Cincinnati who, at the time, looked to be just a minor nuisance for the Dodgers. The Reds started their charge in the sixth inning, scoring four runs in the frame. Three of those runs came on a blast from Gene Freese, bringing the Reds within three, 8-5. Gordy Coleman drove in his second run of the game in the eighth inning, scoring Elio Chacon on a single to tie the game 8-8. The Reds would score one more time in the inning to take their first, and only, lead of the game. As the Dodgers looked to be on the verge of a monumental collapse, Carl Furillo changed it all with a mighty swing in the bottom of the ninth, sending the Dodgers into Round 2 with a 10-9 victory. Scoring B1: Snider single scores Reese; Robinson three run HR T2: Coleman solo HR B2: Jorgensen walks, Campanella scores; Robinson single scores Newcombe B5: Robinson solo HR; Roe reaches on a fielding error by the pitcher, Hermanski scores T6: Post single scores Kasko; Freese three run HR T8: Pinson solo HR; Freese single scores Robinson; Coleman single scores Chacon; Bell grounds out to second, Freese scores B9: Furillo two run HR W - Palica L - Henry Game Notes: Dodgers pitcher Don Newcombe left the game in the top of the fifth after taking a line drive by Leo Cardenas off his foot.

sfgiantsflgators Posted January 1, 2007 Author Share Posted January 1, 2007 Pool 4, Round 1 Mayberry Drives In Five As Royals Take Down Boston 9-4 John Mayberry caps off a five-run first inning for the Royals with a three run shot into the fountains in right-center field. Boston starter Jim Lonborg never collected an out in today's game, exiting after allowing five runs on five hits in just 18 pitches. The Royals added two more runs in the third inning on back-to-back home runs by John Mayberry (his second of the game) and Hal McRae (pictured). The Red Sox tried their best to get back in the game in the fourth inning, scoring four runs on a pair of two run home runs by Carl Yastrzemski (left) and George Scott (right). That would be all Boston could muster today though as they fell 9-4.

Ace152 Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Thats the way. Jump all over the starter early. Always good to have your leadoff man on base all the time. I need to steal your template for recaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to steal your template for recaps. Yeah, it was a pretty solid effort by the boys in baby blue. Although, I didn't think Leonard would ever get out of the fourth inning. As for the template, knock yourself out. It's a nice, easy way to throw up a recap without it taking an hour. Treat it well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfgiantsflgators Posted January 1, 2007 Author Share Posted January 1, 2007 How do you work the rotations in this tourney?(sorry if youve addressed this before) and thanks for the template I treat each game like a one-game playoff. So there's no rotations, per se - whoever the best pitcher was (all based on my opinion developed from stats, pitcher history, etc.) for each particular franchise that season, he gets the ball until they're eliminated. So, for instance, Leonard will get the start until KC loses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfgiantsflgators Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 Pool 4, Round 1 Senators Stymied By Sawx, 2-0 Gary Geiger got Boston on the board in the second inning with a single to left, scoring Carl Yastrzemski from third base. Goose Goslin was thrown out in the fourth inning when he attempted to stretch a single into a double. Carl Yastrzemski scored both Boston runs today. He wouldn't need help with the second one, driving himself home with a solo shot in the seventh inning. Washington skipper Bucky Harris did not have a good day. (Left) In the second inning, Harris had a calm discussion with first base umpire Greg Gibson after Muddy Ruel was called out on a pick off at first base. (Right) Harris wouldn't stay so calm in the eighth inning, storming out of the dugout after Ossie Bluege was called out on another pickoff at first. Harris was quickly tossed, but made sure to get his money's worth in a heated debate with Gibson. The game ended with Earl McNeely grounding into a 4-6-3 double play, giving Boston a 2-0 victory and a Round 2 birth.

sfgiantsflgators Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 Pool 4, Round 1 Sanders, Williams Lead DBacks To 13-5 Victory Braves left fielder Frank Thomas put in his best effort for Milwaukee, going 3-4 with two home runs and two RBI. Frank Thomas' effort would be matched two-fold however, as Reggie Sanders (pictured) and Matt Williams each had two home runs for the Diamondbacks, going 5-5 and 4-4 respectively. In a perfect example of how things went for Milwaukee today, third base umpire Paul Nauert ruled this grounder down the third baseline fair, giving Reggie Sanders a two-run double in the fourth inning and Arizona a 6-2 lead. Matt Williams rounds the bases in the eighth inning after his second home run of the day gave Arizona a 13-5 lead. A sight that was seen on six occasions today as the Diamondbacks slugged six long balls against Braves pitching. Milwaukee had three home runs themselves, giving the teams a combined total of nine blasts on the day.

sfgiantsflgators Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 Pool 4, Round 1 Plank Does It All As A's Beat Giants 7-2 Today, Jack Barry defined the cliche "...he who ends the inning with a great play, contributes off- ensively in the following frame," as Barry ended the bottom of the first with a diving stop on a liner by Red Murray (left); and hit a solo shot in the top of the second to give Philadelphia a 1-0 lead (right). How did Eddie Plank defeat the Giants today? Let us count the ways: First, he did it from the mound, going seven strong innings, allowing two runs on six hits while striking out eleven. Then, Eddie Plank delivered from the plate. (Left) First, Plank singled home Amos Strunk in the fifth inn- ing, giving the Athletics a 2-0 lead. (Right) Then, in the seventh, Plank lined a solo home run over the short porch in right for the fifth Athletics run of the game. Finally, for good measure, Eddie Plank picked Chief Meyer off of first base in the bottom of the seventh. Josh Devore prevented Philadelphia from shutting out the Giants with a two run home run in the eighth inning. But it was too little, too late as New York fell 7-2.

sfgiantsflgators Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 Pool 4, Round 1 Excellence In Baltimore: Bunker Leads Orioles To 6-1 Victory Luis Aparicio watches as Gary Peters just misses the inside of the plate for ball four, walking in the first Orioles run of the game in the second inning. (Left) Brooks Robinson is intentionally walked with one out in the seventh inning. (Right) After Gary Peters injures himself while pitching to the next hitter, Boog Powell, Dave DeBusschere is brought in. DeBusschere strikes out Powell, but gives up a home run to the next hitter, Sam Bowens, to give Bal- timore a 3-0 lead. Wally Bunker was brilliant today, going 8.2 innings, allowing one run on five hits while striking out six. He also contributed at the plate, drawing three walks and scoring once. Dave Nicholson spoiled Wally Bunker's bid at a shutout in the ninth inning, singling home Floyd Rob- inson for the lone Chicago run of the contest. Scoring B2: Aparicio walks, Brandt scores B7: Bowens two run HR B8: Aparicio double scores Bunker; Siebern single scores Aparicio; Powell single scores Siebern T9: Nicholson single scores Robinson W - Bunker L - Peters Game Notes: Gary Peters left after getting the count against Boog Powell to 1-2 in the seventh inning.

sfgiantsflgators Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 There's a disappointing lack of '93 Jays in here. If it holds you over better, the '92 Jays made an appearance in Pool 3. Page one has a link to the beginning of Pool 3. I think the fact that the '92 team is here - and that other than a few players, the similarity between the '92 and '93 squad - led the Total Classics team in a different direction. Thanks for checking in though - hope you still enjoy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
