SpaceFlare Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Ouch, Roy Oswalt pitching a shutout and giving himself a win by driving in the only run in the game.. Don't see that happening a whole lot.. Tough loss there and of all the players to break a scoreless inning streak, it had to be an opposing pitcher..

xiberger Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 To clarify the headline for my latest recap, John Smoltz got hit in the head by a ball causing a minor concussion. He'll have to stay out of action for ten days, thus missing his next scheduled start. Jorge Sosa will replace him in the rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceFlare Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Seems like John Thomson's been doing really well for you. How are the standings shaking out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiberger Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 Thomson is doing extremely well, just like the rest of my pitching staff. After the series in LA, I'm heading for Boston. I think the games there will prove if my pitchers are really that good. Manny and Big Papi are tearing the cover of the ball at the moment. btw, here are the current standings: Looks like the NL East will come down to a battle between my Braves and the Phillies. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xiberger Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 My pitching is starting to freak me out. Two of my starters have an ERA of less the 2.00, and my bullpen isn't giving up many runs either. Over the last 16 games, I've only allowed 24 runs (= 1.5 runs per game). If, at the end of the month, my pitchers are still doing this good, I'm going to adjust my sliders. I hope I don't have to, though, because I've been playing with these settings for a while now and they've always given me good results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeveredSoulX Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Don't let the pitching freak you out - you have two gems of pitchers and the bullpen back in 2005 wasn't anything to scoff at - maybe just tweak one or two things, but don't do a total makeover - these results are too realistic to screw with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rookie_rick Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 You've got a pretty great team looking at the performances. I'm glad i'm not playing this Braves team in the World Series. I still think you will have a tough time beating the Red Sox in your upcoming series :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xiberger Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 I still think you will have a tough time beating the Red Sox in your upcoming series Think again. ;-) Ok, if you throw back-to-back complete games, the latter being a 6-hit shutout against the top offense in all of baseball, you know something ain't right. That's why I've increased the CPU batting sliders for contact and power. I hope it will make pitching more challenging for both my starters and the bullpen.

xiberger Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 Actually, the line under the Hudson picture in my latest recap should've been more like this: "Mr. Hudson, you're trying to strike me out! Aren't you?" :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceFlare Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I actually find that I can pitch with starters well but I'm really uncomfortable turning the game over to the pen. Or maybe my bullpen is just bad. I end up having trouble with relief pitchers as I can't seem to nail sweet spots with them and I end up giving up crucial walks or hanging pitches which they hammer for hard hits. But then again it could just be that my bullpen isn't that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again it could just be that my bullpen isn't that good. Normally it's the same for me, but this time my pen is really doing great. Adam Bernero got rocked in the first couple of games and I didn't feel comfortable pitching with him. So I sent him down to AAA and since then I haven't had many problems with my relievers. btw, the slider adjustment is already showing an effect. I still won the game, but it was very close again.
