tejdog1 Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 OK, the reason some of the stats wont match up is I lost 4 games when my computer crashed, and instead of replaying those games, I just simmed them. So the stats won't match for the next game, but after that, they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to scroll back a few pages to catch up ... great job on the franchise updates and those minor league reports ... keep em coming, also throw out some season stats. From the looks of it, Reyes and Beltran are doing magnificently, while Heilman looks to have made a smooth transition back to the rotation. How are Kazmir and Pedro holding up?

Kazmir leads the team in complete games, so he's doing very well. Pedro's doing well, too, but I'm going to curtail my starting staffs innings, to between 5 and 6. Except for Bannister. And yes, Heilman's done well as a starter for me. Unfortunatly, I lost his most recent start due to a computer crash :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Reyes singled to drive home a run in the inning, but Jeff Keppinger stranded the bases loaded, forgoing a bigger inning. Jonathan Broxton came on to pitch the 6th, 7th and maybe the 8th. Broxton took one for the team, going 4 innings allowing 3 runs. the Mets fell, 8-1. "Brox was the sacrificial lamb tonight. We had no bullpen behind him, except for Wagner, who was limited to 1 inning at the most. I talked to him, he understands it, and he did a good job today." Tejesh said.
