7/29 Press Conference
Lou Scribe, “Benton, you’ve been able to scratch your way back into first place. How do you feel about your team’s play right now?” “I feel like I’m going to have a heart attack. Three 1 run wins in a row will do that to a guy. But honestly, I’ve very proud of the guys. They have responded well to adversity, they worked hard and have really focused on the task at hand, and it’s enabled us to get back into first place?” Dan Reader, “You’re in first place.” “Yes Dan, we are, by a half a game,” I respond and quickly look for the next question. Scribe, “What do you attribute the better play recently to?” “Lou, honestly, it’s been pretty well rounded. We’ve gotten better starts from the guys, which always sets the tone, but we are getting timely hitting and just all-in-all playing better baseball.” Hack Jobb, “Benton, why has this team been so streaky this season. You jump up by 5 then find yourself scrambling to hold the lead, then you’re back up by 5…” “I wish I knew so I could cut out the bad stretches. I believe some of it is related to who we are playing and who the NL Posters are playing. There is a significant difference in talent from team to team, and based on where you are in your schedule, you could be benefiting from being in a soft spot or suffering from hitting a streak of good or hot teams. I just hope that we get on our own hot streak now that we’ve started playing better.” Tom O’Carver, “Bo Knowles is coming back…any idea what that will do to your pen and rotation?” “Bo will fall into his normal spot as the lefty late. As for the rotation, Nielsen, Babson, Williams are all doing great. I tried Foz in that fourth spot with Mighty filling Bo’s left handed arm in the pen, but that didn’t work too well. Foz really struggled after initially getting off to a good start. I’ll probably put Mighty back out there in the fourth spot, and I’m not sure if I’ll use Hunter or Foz when I actually need a fifth in the rotation.” “Have you thought about moving Rodney into the rotation?” Jobb with a follow up… “Oh sure, but why would I. He’s been lights out in his current role. He was awesome tonight, and has been all year. I think I like him right where he is.” Last edited by Breeze : 05-30-2013 at 10:00 AM. |

Shakes off the first one But he likes the next The pitch on the way, here it is... It's a routine fly into right Puckett ranges over and reaches up This should do it... And Puckett grabs it for the out That's all for the All Stars After 4 innings in FOFC this evening, Late 20th ahead 5 to 1 Kirby Puckett up first for Late 20th He is a threat to steal if he gets on So far this season Puckett is hitting .319 when facing righthanded pitching The umpire says let's go Puckett is ready Now to the belt, here it is...

Solidly stroked by Puckett No chance for either Nights or Gunner That one had base hit written all over it Piazza departs the on-deck circle He makes his way slowly to the plate He's not known for his speed anyway!

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Nice win boys!
On a side note, still crazy to see names like Biggio, Sandberg, Henderson, Gwynn, Puckett, Carter and McGwire. It's like a who's who of some of my favorite hitters growing up.

Yeah, that's what makes this so much fun for me to. If I do this again next year the Late 20s stars will look a bit different. I'll rework them to put some of the recent HOF inductees on that team... Blyleven Larkin Santo and anyone else I'm forgetting... Then I'll add players to split this into a modern stars... Jeter Jones Bonds (pre-PED) Griffey and the Late 20s... Not sure what other positions I'll need to fill after the split, but I'll figure it out... |

Nielsen goes into his windup Here it comes Sharp breaking curveball... Henderson reaches for it... Hits a two bouncer right to Fouts... Grabs it easily... Fires a bullet to Potpie at first! Henderson is out easily One gone in the top of the 1st Up next is Tony Gwynn He's having a fine year so far Gwynn leaves the on-deck circle And heads to the batter's box Nielsen wastes no time He has the sign from Hays The pitch to Gwynn... Gwynn pulls one to the right side It's going to scoot on through the infield Gazelle will retrieve it without difficulty He tosses it back in to second as Gwynn retreats to first after a wide turn Puckett gets set at the plate FOFC is set up for two Nielsen looks down at Hays for the sign Now he's ready Now Rob delivers The runner goes with the pitch! It's the hit and run! Grounded down the line Potpie takes it to the bag himself The hit and run moves the runner up. Score It: 3 That's the second out of the inning Here's Mike Piazza Mike takes a couple of practice cuts Mike stands with bat ready The lefthander Nielsen delivers Curve over the plate... Piazza connects! Ton is off to the races... That ball is hit hard... K. A. is at the warning track... And makes the catch! That's three outs here in the top of the first At the end of one half inning, for Late 20th No runs, one hit, no errors and one man left on base FOFC is coming to bat As we go to the bottom of the first let's set the defensive alignment for Late 20th Glavine and Piazza are the battery mates McGwire will man first base Boggs is at the hot corner Ripken and Biggio form the keystone combination From left to right it is Gwynn, Henderson and Puckett Now Barrett Blade steps in Blade is at .270 on the season Glavine shakes off the sign by Piazza We have Tom Glavine and Rob Nielsen matched up in this one as we play in the bottom of the first Glavine brings it to the plate HIT HIM!!

That's one away Next up for the All Stars is Gerald Gazelle One out, man on second Glavine steps on the rubber The pitch on the way, here it is... Gazelle swings and lifts one toward left Gwynn drifts over slowly... He is under it now... And makes the easy catch...

But only if Potpie can reach safely Potpie has a .292 average against lefthanders He is .289 overall Left-hander Tom Glavine prepares for the pitch to the right-handed swinging Potpie Way ahead in the count Glavine turns the 0-2 pitch loose Potpie takes the pitch... That one is low for a ball...

Manager Update
The team is continuing to play well...after congratulating the guys and making sure they know that I'm proud of the efforts, I head into my office, and I turn on the TV... TSPC Television – SportsZone I catch the show already in progress, but ironically they are talking about us... "...in Baseball things have taken a pretty serious turn of events. The FOFC team is back to playing great ball." "Yes they are..." The second host, who I don't recognize chimes in, "They have now won 9 in a row and they have reopened a lead on the NL Post War team by 4.5 games." "This division has been a real see-saw all season, the FOFCers up by 5, then the lead cut to 1, back to 5, back to 1, up by 3, then trailing to now finding themselves clearly back in the drivers seat." "But that could come to a quick change as the NL Post War team has a series with these red hot FOFCers starting tomorrow". "We have brought in...." CLICK I turn off the TV...I want to revel in my good feelings not get stressed about our next series starting tomorrow... Last edited by Breeze : 06-04-2013 at 03:05 PM. |

After getting the guys through the morning workout, I quick step it to the office knowing the 11:00 show on the DLB Channel was coming on and they would, after hitting the major highlights from last night lead with a breakdown of our series with the Post Nationals…I am interested now to hear what they have to say.
DLB Channel “Welcome to the DLB Channel, I’m David Belcher your host and with me today are some great baseball heroes, Lou Burdette, Dom DiMaggio, and Dan Quisenberry. We’ll start by breaking down last nights action, and there is no better place to start than with the red hot FOFCers…these guys lost first place not that long ago, and since they’ve ripped off 9 straight wins. That’s one way to prove… I walk back into the club house, throw together a quick sandwich and get a bottle of water before heading back into the office to pick up on the show. “ …and the poor Japanese All Stars, just can’t catch a break dropping another one to the Turn of the Century team…this time getting shut out 6 to 0. We’ll be back to talk about league news and the upcoming games,” I sit through a commercial about low rate car insurance, some analgesic balm I’ve never heard of, and some ambulance chasing lawyer before the show comes back up… “With the season coming down the home stretch, and both leagues currently being led by 4.5 games, this week could be very important, but even more important in the National League where the top two teams will be squaring off. I’ve got my panel of Burdette, DiMaggio, and Quisenberry to help me break this down, and fellas, I have to say, for early August, this series could be about a crucial as it gets.” Dom starts things off, “Remember it may be only early August, but the league doesn’t play 162 games, and with most teams sitting around 120 games, then we are only talking about another 30 to 35 to go. You really don’t want fall 6 or more back with 30 to go. That’s pretty hard to make up.” David says, “You think so?” “Well, think about it. If you’re down 6 games and you go 20 and 10 over the last 30, the team you’re chasing only needs to play .500 ball and they still win the division, and playing .667 ball isn’t easy.” “But the NL Posters have shown the ability to do just that,” Burdette chimes in to defend his contemporaries. “Oh, they certainly have, and I wouldn’t diminish their abilities in any way, I’m only pointing out how serious the series is for the Post Nationals,” Dom qualifies. David, steering the conversation asks, “Dan, what do you see as the key to this series?” “It’s got to be the pitching. Both teams can hit, but they have to be able to pitch out of problems to get the wins and it will be interesting to see who’s able to accomplish that.” “What do you think will happen?” Dan follows up. “We’ll these two teams have played 8 times this year with the NL Post team winning 7 of them. I’d say that indicates the Posters are sitting in a prime spot to make up some ground. However, the posters have a problem right now. Gaylord Perry got hurt a few games back, and the Post team is short on arms to begin with. This lack of bullpen depth is really going to impact that team’s ability to match up late and to uses fresh arms. I think this will potentially cost the NL Post team a game or two in this series.” “Remember when the FOFCers were playing poorly and dropping games, Bo Knowles was hurt, and that really limited Benton’s ability to use his standard bullpen rotations. They dropped several games late and they scrapped it around for about 3 weeks while they waiting on Bo to heal. This is what the NL Posters are dealing with now,” Dom explains. Burdette adds, “The Posters are going to need their starters to get deep into games, but I don’t think that will be a problem. It’s not like they aren’t throwing great arms at the FOFCers. The series will start with Seaver going for the Posters, and he’s got to be a serious candidate for the pitcher of the year award. Then after talking with the guys on the team, it looks like they could go any number of ways with the second starter but it will probably be Gibson or Marichal. The third game looks like maybe Koufax. So I think the Posters feel good about the arms they are using, and I’m confident they’ll get to the 7 inning to ease the burden on the pen arms.” Quisenberry counters, “You’re right some impressive arms, but I’ll bet Benton is pretty pleased the way his rotation is lining up for this series. He’ll start with Williams, then he’ll have Nielsen, who is probably the leader in the clubhouse when it comes to Pitcher of the Year voting, and he’ll bring Babson out third. These guys aren’t slouches.” “No they aren’t,” agrees Dom, “but they do tend to give up home runs and you don’t want to do that against the NL Posters. The Posters have 3 guys with 40 Homeruns already…Aaron, Matthews, and Banks, and they have several more that might still get to that number. This team kills mistakes and the FOFC pitchers make quite a few typically. In fact, it is this power that has really lead to that 7-1 split in the first 8 games between these two teams, and honestly, I think it is going to be that power that allows the Posters to close in on the FOFC players and it will make this stretch run very entertaining.” |

It darts down and out as Tucker swings way over it He was fooled completely Campanella loses it momentarily, but now finds the handle and tags A. J. as he was heading for the dugout That does it for FOFC here in their half of the eighth As we head into the ninth this game is all tied up at 1 runs apiece Quite a pitcher's duel, indeed!

One up, one down for NL Post WWII Pounding the plate with his bat Spahn awaits the pitch Spahn grips the bat handle Spahn tells the umpire he's ready This is a situation where the injury to Perry is a problem. The Post Nationals can't afford to go deeper into their pen so they are going to let Spahn hit for himself. This late in a tied game and I'm sure they would prefer to pinch hit for the lefty. Here's the righthander's delivery Curveball in the dirt Swung on and missed...Strike three Hays fumbles it, but quickly recovers to tag Spahn Two up, two down Kronside looks down at Morgan as he steps in Joe is ready to go Morgan gets set He's 0 for 4 so far Morgan waits for the pitch Kronside goes into his windup And here's the 2-0 offering Morgan hits a fly ball to center A. J. Tucker camps under it This should wrap up the inning... That's it That's all for NL Post WWII After 8 and a half innings in FOFC this afternoon, The score is knotted at 1 Here's Potpie to lead off the bottom of the 9th He's the go ahead run Jeeberoni is hitting at .290 on the year He has 117 hits in 404 at bats Today, he is 0 for 1 Potpie hit a sac fly his last time up Potpie readies himself for the pitch The lefthander Spahn comes home with it Long fly ball to left-center This one is deep! IT'S GOING, GOING, GONE!!! That was a LONG home run! The fans are going wild here in FOFC!!! Jeeberoni Potpie has just won the game And his teammates gather at home plate They greet him as he crosses the plate!!! That is Jeeberoni Potpie's 34th home run of the year. FOFC wins 2 to 1 Kronside gets credit for the win Spahn takes the loss The hitting star for FOFC was Jeeberoni Potpie He was 1 for 2 with a homerun And that wraps things up So long from FOFC. |

…”before we wrap up the show for today, let’s take one more moment to break down the big series between the FOFCers and the NL Post War Stars, “ states David Belcher. Hack Jobb, “After the dramatic win last night the FOFCers are sitting on a 5.5 game lead, and the entire tone of this series changes. Not only did the FOFCers open the lead, but they rollout their ace Rob Nielsen tonight. The NL Post War guys have to feel some pressure with this situation. They desperately need to win tonight. No word has come out of the Posters camp to announce tonight’s starting pitcher. I’m guessing they will counter with Gibson, but it could be Marichal.“ "You have to believe, even though they were going against Williams with a 12-2 record they the Post Warriors felt Seaver gave them a decided advantage in the opening game of the series,” Gil Hodges states, “Now they are scrambling and it will be interesting to see how they handle this.” “The game tonight is about as must see as a summer game can be,” Belcher sums up. “Tune in, it could be very exciting tonight.” |

Score It: 1-6-3 And that retires the side Joe Morgan stops at the on deck circle Takes a couple more practice swings Now heads for the plate Morgan is looking for another hit He has 2 hits so far today He is hitting .264 on the year Joe steadies his bat And waits patiently for Knowles' pitch Here's his delivery Morgan hits a pop into short right field Blade sprints out Pflaggstettler and Tucker sprint towards the infield Persimmon Pflaggstettler sticks his glove out and IT POPS OUT! The official scorer rules a single Morgan takes a walking lead Morgan has stolen 34 of 43 bases this year Knowles tosses another quick one to first... Even the speedy Morgan looks a bit tentative now... He doesn't seem to be getting a great lead Roberto Clemente is up next to face Knowles A tough situation to bunt as FOFC has the corners playing way in Time is called... Clemente has asked the ump to clean the plate We'll be ready in a second... OK, now we are ready again Roberto is eagerly awaiting Knowles' pitch He's into the stretch Looks over at first Quick throw!... Morgan dives back in!... SAFE! Potpie tosses it back to Knowles Now here's the pitch Knowles just misses outside Ball four to Clemente Willie Mays, the NL Post WWII center fielder, steps into the batter's box The score is tied at 8 He has a chance here to drive home at least one Mays is taking his practice swings Willie is 2 for 5 this afternoon Mays, batting righthanded is in his crouch Ready to face the righthanded Knowles Sammy checks the runners Here's the 0-2 offering STRIKE THREE! He swung on a ball that was in the dirt Mays was overanxious up there That was almost a wild pitch So we have one out now for NL Post WWII 2 runners on board as Hank Aaron rubs his bat with the pine tar one last time Hank Aaron will be coming up Tommy Lasorda loves the pop in his bat Knowles has the sign from Hays Knowles stretches, checks his runners The pitch... Curve, up high... Aaron rips it to left... Knowles hung that breaking ball However, Hank got under it just a bit Gazelle started back on it Now he's coming in... He's under it and makes the easy catch "Can of Corn" Two down Due up next is Stan Musial Let's see what happens now Stan Musial, the first baseman, strides to the plate Musial is 1 for 5 today, with 1 walk Now set, Musial waits for the pitch The pitch is on the way There's a routine pop by Musial Barrett Blade moves under the ball And makes the routine catch Musial chokes in the clutch! That ends the inning for NL Post WWII FOFC has 8 runs, 16 hits and no errors While NL Post WWII has 8 runs, 15 hits and 2 errors NL Post WWII has now stranded 15 baserunners Pflaggstettler, the right fielder, up leading off the bottom of the 12th Campanella flashes the sign... Spahn waves it off... Now he's happy The lefthander Spahn delivers Spahn misses low on that one Pflaggstettler draws the walk Number 1 today by Spahn Terp squares to bunt It's dribbled down the third base line Mathews bare hands it... Sidearm toss to first Just in time! Nice play Credit Kris Terp with a sacrifice And there's one away Palmer finishes his practice swings Now he strides to the batter's box Campanella flashes the sign... Spahn shakes it off, he wants another... Now he's happy Spahn brings it to the plate Base hit to left for Palmer Dick Howser is waving the runner home... The throw is coming home... Aggressive baserunning by FOFC... Not cut-off... Hank Aaron throws the ball away for an error! FOFC wins 9 to 8 Knowles gets credit for the win Spahn takes the loss The hitting star for FOFC was Persimmon Pflaggstettler He was 3 for 5 with a homerun He also knocked in 3 runs And that wraps things up So long from FOFC. |

..."impressive come back win by the FOFCers. They were cruising early, ran into problems but overcame them to open the lead in the division to 6.5 games." "This was baseball at its best. I don't think I've ever seen a game, in all my years in the sport, when there were 3 plays where homeruns were robbed. These guys gave there all in this one, and the NL Posters have to feel pretty down right about now. They had a chance to even the series and it slipped away. Once again the small pen really hurt this team. I'll bet next year they look to add another arm or two to that pen," Lou Scribe reports... Last edited by Breeze : 06-05-2013 at 09:49 PM. |

Tucker cuts on a curve that misses in the dirt That ball is trapped nicely by Bench Tucker was badly fooled by Niekro's big breaking curve STRIKE THREE! A. J. was a little overanxious And that will do it for FOFC NL Post WWII wins 6 to 3 Koufax gets credit for the win Niekro notches the save Babson takes the loss The hitting star for NL Post WWII was Hank Aaron He was 2 for 5 with 2 homeruns! He also knocked in 3 runs And that wraps things up So long from FOFC. |

8/6 Post Game Press Conference
I walk in and sit down, and before I can say anything Lou fires off a question... Lou, "Your win streak ends at 11, but you have to be feeling good about the team right now?" "Lou, I'm feeling good right now. Win streaks are good for confidence, it's always nice when you win a series against a team as good as the NL Posters, and a 5 and a half game lead sure beats a 1 game lead or a 1 game back situation. But let's be honest. We are a long way from the finish line, and things can change quickly. For instance. while we opened a lead, we also turn around and play the Negro League 1 team, and the NL Posters get to match up with the Japanese All-Stars. There is a huge difference in the level of competition there. If they sweep and we get swept, then our lead is gone and it is back to nail biting time." "You couldn't pull this one out," Dan Reader...states or asks...I'm not sure. "Um, nope, we didn't. We had some opportunities, but we just didn't get the timely hit or make the clutch pitch we needed to." Hack Jobb, "Benton, what do you think needs to happen down the stretch to hold off the NL Post War team?" "We have to keep pitching well first and foremost. The guys really turned it around recently and they have been giving us quality starts. If that continues well have a chance to win each time out. The hitting has been solid most of the year, and hopefully that will keep up." Jobb follows up, "How good do you think you need to play?" "I'm not sure I follow." I express... Jobb clarifying, "Do you thing .500 ball will be enough to get to the series?" "Oh, now I see...you know, I'm not sure. I haven't really thought about it. We have about 28 games left. If we go 14 - 14, then the Posters would have to win 20 and only drop 8...yeah, .500 might be enough, but I'd prefer that we not settle for .500 ball." Tom McCarver, "Benton, why start the left handed hitting Gunner against a strong lefty starter like Koufax, when you had KA Ton and Persimmon on the bench." "Actually, we were scheduled to give Pflaggsettler a day off, and Ton was going to start, but he wasn't feeling well at the beginning of the game, so we stuck Gunner in. We could have gone with Tracey, but Gunner is much better defensively, and I wanted to give Babson all the support in the field I could. We ended up sticking Ton in once he started to perk up." |

All,
I'm going out of town on business for a couple of days, so this won't be updated each day like it was (as I won't have access to my PC). When I return I'll start posting again and I'll get the thread caught up to where the day of the month matches up again. Thanks for reading along... |
