JoeRudi26 Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 Tough loss man. BTW, how is Chavy doin' in the minors? He's starting to pick it up a bit. I'm going to have to go down and get Chavez and Crosby back. My infield arm strength just isn't cutting it, and they're making errors that are costing me games. My outfield is pretty solid, so I might leave Kotsay down for awhile. A nice little win streak couldn't hurt right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigschiff7 Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Wow man, i really love this dynasty. How much time you put into it is astonishing. Great job. Also, do you use Fraps to capture movies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, do you use Fraps to capture movies? Thanks Bigschiff7. Not too time consuming, just a game a day. To answer your question, I do use Fraps for movies and screenshots. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeRudi26 Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 [align=center]Oakland Athletics @ San Diego Padres Post Game Report Game 2 (3 Game Series) Player of The Game - Milton Bradley (2-3, HR, RBI)[/align] [align=center]*Danny Haren Mows Down Padres*[/align] [align=center][/align] [align=center]Ryan Klesko (1), Khalil Greene (2), Vinny Castilla (2), Mike Cameron (1), and Mark Bellhorn (1) all go down on strikes to Danny Haren [/align] Danny Haren (2-3, 4.71) pitched 7 innings sriking out 7, giving up 3 hits and 0 runs in a 69 pitch performance. Haren was in control from the beginning, giving up his first hit (single) to Brian Giles (.331) in the bottom of the 4th inning. Giles and Mike Cameron (.283) got the other 2 hits off Haren in the 7th inning, both singles. Brian Sweeney (2.52) and Scott Linebrink (2.49) filled out the pitching for San Diego, combining for 3 strikeout, with Sweeney getting credited for Oakland's 2nd run of the game. For the A's, Milton Bradley (.235) struck out twice in the game but went deep (7) off of Tim Stauffer (2-8, 5.51) in the top of the 5th to give Oakland a 1 run lead. Antonio Perez (1.69) provided Oakland's only other run with a single up the middle that drove Bobby Crosby (.215) across the plate in the top of the 8th inning. Recently called back up from AAA Sacramento, Bobby Crosby went 2 for 3 with 2 singles. Also recently called up from Sacramento, Eric Chavez (.216) went 0-4 with a strikeout. Left hander Randy Kiesler (7.42) pitched 1 inning and closer Huston Street (1.11) shut the door earning his (19th) save of the season. [align=center] Brian Giles saves a double in the gap with some outstanding defense[/align] San Diego Catcher Mike Piazza - He (Haren) was tough out there today. His fastball was coming in at around 98 mph and he was putting it where he wanted to today. We couldn't hit him. Bobby Crosby - I had a decent game today. They called me back up and I had something to prove. If I want to play in this league, I have to produce. Eric Chavez - I got a couple pitches to hit, and Giles took one away from me. I'm seeing the ball better, I just need to stay focused.

sfgiantsflgators Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 well looks like crosby had a decent game - but why is chavez struggling so much!? think a trade might be in order if he doesn't turn it around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeRudi26 Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 The cavalry returns. Chavez better have a good game or I'll run in to the game and kill him! It was the first game back. Crosby did great against a wicked cutter, but Chavez still struggled. I have to keep him for defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't understand it either. Even when he gets a hold of the ball, he might laser it down the line, but can't get any lift on it. I only do real life trades, so he better start hitting. :?

JoeRudi26 Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 Thanks sf. Personally, this is why I like to keep real life rosters. From my experience, it takes a little more strategy to work through your problems rather than jump on a quick fix. But as I've also said, to each their own. That's just me.

I actually did this back in the old High Heat days. It was very cool to see your old High School name of the front of the jerseys, colors and so on. We won the state championship in (HS Baseball) in 2002 when Barmes was here, but when I played......well....we played baseball too. Our HS team wears Green/Orange w/pinstripes Strange, but it works.

cybernetic Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I'm thinking of going the same route and only make trades that actually happen in real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeRudi26 Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 I'm thinking of going the same route and only make trades that actually happen in real life. I'll definately be checking it out then. Another thing I like to do is compare my 'real roster' stats to their real life counter part. This goes for League Leaders and Standings, etc.. For example, it's going to be interesting to see how Detroit will do in my dynasty, since they have the same roster as the real MLB team, but just a year ago they were terrible. Anyway, I'll definately be checking it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolliefingers08 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 i definitly love following this. hopefully you don't choose to play your team only as the real life a's. how fun can it be only getting 2 starts outta rich harden before he injures himself again keep playin it the way you are, and maybe even make a few deals of your own.

cybernetic Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 yea but remember that the CPU will optimize the rosters and mess up the bullpen with a bunch of AAA starters in the bullpen so the stats could get messed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
