sjbushido Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Go Giants! I tried callin up Emmanuel Burriss from A -> AAA in my Dynasty and he's raking the ball, and stealing bases like a madman. Just a suggestion, if Vizquel goes down or something, seems like a good option. his line for me is 30 games, .291 0HR 9RBI 17 Steals (2CS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxbay Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I've really had some great luck during this seven game win streak. The balls that were getting caught in April are starting to fall now...thank God too because it was starting to **** me off Nine of those 10 runs against Houston last game came on three swings: grand slam by Linden, three-run home run by Winn, and a two-run double by Linden. Now if the Bums would quit winning (29-16), I could actually make up some ground. Won seven straight and I'm still 4.5 back. Well, now I think we can both agree that that isn't going to happen... :biglaff: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before I jump him that high though (to replace Vizquel), I'll put Frandsen at short, Aurilia at second, and call up de la Rosa. Tomas is hitting .278 right now in Fresno. Right now in San Jose, Burris is struggling with a .253 average. He's got 11 SB in 44 games. Well, now I think we can both agree that that isn't going to happen... :biglaff: Luckily for them, we don't play again until after the ASG. Cause I'd put it on that *** right now I want a shot at Schmidt (other than the relief appearance he made during the seventeen inning game earlier this season).

sfgiantsflgators Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 what would you do if a pithcher went down with an injury? My first move would be to give Hennessey a chance to start since he has pitched well for me in relief so far this season. If he struggled, I would give Lincecum a chance and move Brian Wilson into the closer's role. Two more options would be to call up either Chris Begg or Pat Misch, both of whom are doing very well in Fresno so far this season. Very nice job with your dynasty man, Im going to start following this. Glad you like it - thanks for checking in :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfgiantsflgators Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 May 23, 2007 Houston's Five-Run Tenth Inning Halts Giants Win Streak at Eight Adam Everett (pictured) puts the Astros on the board in the second inning with a solo home run. Hou- ston would add one more run in the frame on a single by Mark Loretta to take an early 2-0 lead. Nate Schierholtz (front) picked up his first Major League RBI in the second inning, scoring Eliezer Al- fonzo (back) with a single up the middle. Omar Vizquel (pictured) scores in the fifth inning on a single by Pedro Feliz, tying the game 2-2. Juan Gutierrez was stellar in relief for Houston today, allowing just one hit in three shutout innings. With the game tied 2-2 in the tenth inning, Giants phenom Tim Lincecum (right) entered the game. Lin- cecum wouldn't get an out, surrendering a hit to all five batters he faced. The biggest blow would come from the fifth batter, Lance Berkman (left), who blasted a grand slam to give Houston a 7-2 lead. Scott Munter (not pictured) would finish off the inning, but the damage was done. Todd Linden (left) did his best to get San Francisco back into the game, hitting a two-run home run off Brad Lidge in the bottom of the tenth. (Right) But the Giants would experience something they haven't had to experience for eight games: a loss. Scoring T2: Everett solo HR; Loretta single scores Ausmus B2: Schierholtz single scores Alfonzo B5: Feliz single scores Vizquel T10: Lamb single scores Jimerson; Berkman GS B10: Linden two run HR W – Gutierrez (1-1) L – Lincecum (2-3) Player of the Game: Lance Berkman 2-5, GS, 4 RBI For Boxscore, click here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfgiantsflgators Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 hey there is a pitcher in the rockies minors named greg reynolds can u tell me how he is doing? He's currently in Colorado Springs (AAA). He's pitched four games for them so far, posting a 1-0 record with a save and a 2.03 ERA in 13.1 innings of work. In that span he has struck out 13 and walked just three. At that rate, I might have to face him later down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfgiantsflgators Posted April 29, 2007 Author Share Posted April 29, 2007 May 25, 2007 Zito's Fourth Complete Game Ends in 3-1 Giants Victory The Rockies had their chances in today's game, but grounded into three double plays on the night. Double plays by Ryan Spilborghs (left) and Brad Hawpe (right) came with runners on third base. Randy Winn started off the Giants half of the first inning with a hit, but was gunned down at second trying to stretch it to a double. Giants manager Bruce Bochy (right) got tossed in the top of the sixth after Troy Tulowitzki was called safe in a close call at home (left). Randy Winn reaches second safely in the sixth inning when Rockies pitcher Taylor Buchholz threw wildly after fielding a bunt from Omar Vizquel. Todd Linden would make Colorado pay for Buchholz's misplay with a triple to left center, scoring Winn and Vizquel to give San Francisco a 2-1 lead. Those two runs would prove to be enough for Barry Zito, who improved to 6-2 on the season while throwing his fourth complete game of the year. Scoring T6: Spilborghs single scores Tulowitzki B6: Linden triple scores Winn, Vizquel; Aurilia grounds out to second, Linden scores W – Zito (6-2) L – Buchholz (2-3) Player of the Game: Todd Linden 2-4, 2B, 3B, 2 RBI Barry Zito 9 IP, 7 H, 1 R, 2 K For Boxscore, click here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfgiantsflgators Posted April 29, 2007 Author Share Posted April 29, 2007 May 26, 2007 Bonds Set to Return From DL, Lewis Sent Down to Make Room SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - The chase continues. Giants left fielder Barry Bonds is expected to return from the DL today against the Colorado Rockies. As of print, he is not expected to start today's game. "He should be ready to go," said Giants manager Bruce Bochy. "I don't expect him to start today or tomorrow; but that's not set in stone. He should be available to pinch-hit though. We still have enough time that we don't have to rush this." To make room for Bonds, the Giants sent outfielder Fred Lewis down to Fresno. Lewis was hitting just .209 in 115 at bats with San Francisco this season. "He's a great kid with good potential," said Bochy. "He still needs a little work at the plate and he just wasn't getting the opportunity to improve sitting on the bench. Hopefully he'll go down there. get some starts, and we'll see him again soon."

sfgiantsflgators Posted April 29, 2007 Author Share Posted April 29, 2007 May 26, 2007 Vizquel's Walkoff Sends Giants Home with 6-5 Victory The Colorado Rockies jumped out to a 4-0 lead against Giants pitcher Matt Cain after a three-run fourth inning.

Both teams would add another run a piece, sending the Giants into the bottom of the ninth trailing by one. Down to their last out, the Giants sent out 40-year old Omar Vizquel, who was 0-2 with a walk and a hit by a pitch on the night. Vizquel placed a 2-0 pitch from Jeremy Affeldt just over the left field wall to give the Giants a 6-5 victory.

sfgiantsflgators Posted April 29, 2007 Author Share Posted April 29, 2007 I've decided to go back to my old style of playing the first game of each series and managing the rest. I like that process much better when I'm doing dynasties... So, the above format will now be the official format of the "What I Should Have Done..." dynasty Enjoy!

sfgiantsflgators Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 it's good no matter how you do it glad you're enjoying it. my main reason for electing to go back to the way i used to handle dynasties is because i plan on taking this multi-year style so i can develop guys like burris, cowart, bocock...and, of course, get lincecum and cain a couple of cy youngs EDIT: also, i'm open to doing the mailbag thing if anyone has questions about the team, the system, etc. if anything, it would really add to the dynasty at the end of the season with regards to draft picks, free agents, etc. but we're only in june...so we have plenty of time for that.

The A's, Giants, and Angels are said to have the most interest. Any word on what the Giants might be offering? I understand that due to club policy, names cannot be mentioned (am I right?) but do the Giants feel that they have an "overload" at some positions meaning that they could put together an attractive package?

TwentySeven Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Just a word of advice, but the part where you put "--Totte" and whatnot should be under the question, not the answer. Putting it under the answer makes it seem like they answered the question. Keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
