Great Stroke: García Gets 6 Hits
Wednesday, September 15th, 2010: Carlos García really sizzled at the plate in today's 12-7 win over Axemen. The Ann Arbor right fielder blistered Portland for 6 hits in 6 at-bats.

"García was too tough to get out today," the Axemen skipper said in the postgame interview. "No matter what we threw him, he hit it. And he hit some good pitches, too."

Carlos García singled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 8th.

For the year García has hit at a .338 clip with 63 RBIs, 8 home runs and 84 runs scored.

Homer #300 for Havana's Garrett
Thursday, September 30th, 2010: Banana Sluggers left fielder Mark Garrett reached a career milestone yesterday, blasting home run number 300.

He took the achievement in stride. "It's always good to get another home run and even better to get another win," Garrett told reporters in the postgame interview.

He went 1-4 during the Havana 2-1 triumph over the Washington Freedom and scored 1 run with 1 run batted in.

His lifetime stats show Garrett has batted .266 and collected 1265 hits, 300 home runs and 883 RBIs.

Joo sets a new season record for OBP with an amazing .536 this season! The previous record had been held by Teng of .520


Edit: Joo also tied the season record for walks with 196! He shares that record with Balzac hall of Famer Jose Reyes who walked 196 times in 1975

The new file is up!

Playoffs run tomorrow. I'm heading out the door, so won't be able to comment further on this season until later myself. Feel free to do so in my absence!

I'll post up a vote starting this weekend to work towards how we want to handle the new draft pick signing thing.

It's running. takes like 2-3 hours to update or more usually. So some point today it should be done.

[Montreal_GM]

Congrats. Good luck tomorrow.

Thank you sir.

[MattG]

Wow I didn't think we could pull off another run...and look...there is New York again (and better than ever).

[muns]

Congrats to the playoff teams, should be another fun playoff run.

Very surprised with St.Cloud this year.... Going from first to last, sorry Teach. I know my guys I just sent your way underperformed.

Tasan, man 2 games, wasnt it 3 last year you missed it by??? so close. Although you did out bid me on that 1b before the season by like 200k, you bum

As far as Ann Arbor goes, we finished up 8 games better than last year but had some serious ups and downs this year.

Started off great, and then would have sims where we would win 10 games and others 1......

OF-Jose Carlos Velasquez as a steal in the bargin bin this year for me, and on the other hand OF Jose Chavez was a huge dud from the bargin bin.

Overall I still like the direction we are heading. We got ranked as the second best farm system, and to do that in just 2 seasons is cool for me, but still a long ways off.

Another fun year guys

[TeachEnEspanol]

Well that was completely unpleasant.

Congrats to the playoff teams!!!

Oh hush, we wouldn't have even had a full staff if you hadn't traded with me. Plus, I can't remember the last time I had this early of a draft pick!

It is still uploading. I have seen a couple of pictures change and the main page.

One thing I hated about being a commish.Those damn reports take forever.

I have HUGE bandwidth to my house. I have 35Mbps upload speed, but those reports suck because uploading them one by one it doesn't matter what type of bandwidth you have at all. I could zip them all up and them upload the entire thing, but that takes more of my time. I just let it do it this way which takes less time from me but longer to upload. I've complained about this process to Andreas and Markus for like 3 years straight, but oh well

[spleen1015]

By the time it is finished, I will be home, able to download the file.

No worries Alan. I appreciate everything you do, man.

At least I outbid someone this year. And yeah, close two seasons in a row. I don't need this aggravation. Anyone have a stick of dynamite to blow this thing up with?

One helpful hint that may or may not help you here depending on what you want to look at..

Statslab usually is updated when the file is up every morning. It gets updated far sooner than the web reports do. So if there are things that you are looking for that might be in statslab, you can usually find that really fast.

If you go to Last Sim -> Your team, you'll have every game listed there or you can find links for Last Sim -> Team Stats

Or you can go to Metrics -> Your team and click on the year for various info too.


Not sure if that is some of what you are looking for.
