SpaceFlare Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Oh wow, that looked like an intense pitcher duel. I actually enjoy those better than slugfests.

xiberger Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 Me too, SpaceFlare. It's way more fun. The last five games have been unbelievable. All of them have been one-run games, which is by far the longest streak I've ever had playing this game. The two games in Houston have featured particularly dominant pitching. In the first competition, Mike Hampton and Roger Clemens duelled to a draw in the eighth, both giving up only one run. In the second, John Thomson and Andy Pettitte were just as strong, going seven and eight scoreless, respectively. Over these last five games, my starting rotation has a combined ERA of 0.80 (!) with 23 Ks in 34 IP. Now that's what I call pitching!

xiberger Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 This is really getting insane! I've now had six one-run games in a row. I don't know if I'm supposed to be happy with the way my pitchers are doing or sad with my batters' approach at the plate. During these last six games, my offense has only managed to produce eight runs on 30 hits. The good news is that ace Tim Hudson is back in the rotation after missing his last start with a minor meniscus sprain.

rookie_rick Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Another great game!! I hope your pitching can keep up the great job in till your hitters start getting on base.

xiberger Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 Finally a game that wasn't close. ;-) It's good to see my offense back on track, putting constant pressure on the opposing pitchers. But it's even better to see Tim Hudson back on the mound. He was lights out against the Nationals and really proved me right for making him the ace of the rotation. After a seven-game road trip (4-3), my Braves are now heading back to Atlanta to face the Phillies in a three-game series.

DiehardYankee26 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 A shutout in his first start in at least a week. Thats an ace right there! . He performed like what Smoltz or Randy Johnson would do. Get hurt, come back pitch a CG SHO. Everybody's happy! Sweep Philly and give em the ol tomohawk chop!!! :axe: Any thoughts about any trades to help strengthen your team?

xiberger Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 No, I'm not thinking about trades yet. The season is still young, plus I got lots of talented players in the minors (like Jeff Francoeur, Brian McCann, Kelly Johnson etc.). If necessary, these guys will be called up to the MLB level.

xiberger Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 Hey guys, I'm back! I just realized that I had forgotten to post a recap for game No. 19 (final game against the Phillies at Turner Field). I put it in the same post as game No. 18, so the games stay in a chronological order. Also, I'm going to post about new recaps later today.

xiberger Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 Nice, first extra-inning win of the year for my Braves. Unfortunately, starter Horacio Ramirez got hurt when he was hit by a line drive off the bat of Cliff Floyd. He suffered a fractured nose, but should be fine again in a few days. Later that game, I (unintentionally) hit Jose Reyes, breaking his arm. He won't be able to play for more than 30 days.

SpaceFlare Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Ouch! Seems like both teams put the hurt on each other. I hate how I hit hard liners to the faces of opposing pitchers and they never get hurt. But when my pitcher gets hit in the foot, he suffers a fractured toe and is out for at least a month. I've never managed to hurt an opposing pitcher by rocketing a liner off of him.
