Yeah, I think that setting is hidden where you can't see other team's strategies, so I shouldn't reply to that. You have me curious though, so I might look for myself though!

It was his reliever though that stayed in way too long, and I've seen this happen before regardless of the hook setting. I have wondered over time if this is what happens if you do not list a mop up reliever, it doesn't bring someone in to mop things up. Not sure on that though.

Boyd Picks up RL Monthly Pitching Honor
Sunday, September 1st, 2069: In August when the Colorado manager wrote the name "Boyd" on the lineup card, he knew he had a good shot at winning. Start after start in the month, Glen Boyd took the hill, took charge and usually got the win.

He dominated with a 4-0 mark and 2.38 ERA in 6 starts. The gifted Rancheros star pitched 34 innings, fanned 36 and held opposing teams to a .218 average.

For his outstanding mound performance Boyd was named the RL Pitcher of the Month by the baseball writers.

This season Boyd has a 16-3 record with a 2.94 ERA.


CL Top Pitcher for August Picked
Sunday, September 1st, 2069: Miguel Vázquez was the anchor in the Napa Valley bullpen last month and snatched up the Continental League Pitcher of the Month honors for August. The 27-year-old is in the prime of his career and pitching like he intends to stay around baseball for quite some time to come.

He threw 24.1 innings over 13 relief appearances and collected a 4-0 record with 19 strikeouts and 6 saves while etching his 2.22 ERA.

This year Vázquez has delivered 24 saves. In 54 relief appearances, he has 65 strikeouts in 76.1 innings with a 2.59 ERA. His season won-lost mark is 7-3.

In the current season, Quintana has put up a .311 batting average with 123 hits, 7 home runs, 59 runs batted in and scored 69 runs.



First Baseman Nabs CL Rookie Award
Sunday, September 1st, 2069: Elton Chuter was toddling around on his tricycle when some of the guys he's playing against were in their prime, but the 25-year-old first baseman definitely knows how to get to first, second or beyond. Today he was chosen August's Continental League Rookie of the Month for his remarkable month of hitting.

In 27 games Chuter batted .376 for St. Petersburg, slapping 38 hits in 101 at-bats with 7 home runs, drove in 18 runs and scored 15 times.

Yamamoto Cracks 6 Hits
Thursday, September 19th, 2069: 6 hits in 7 at-bats. It doesn't happen every day, and when it does, it's exciting. Today Terumoto Yamamoto of the Tokyo Cyclones had a sensational 6-7 game against St. Petersburg at Legends Field. He rifled base hits all over the ballpark in his team's 22-1 shellacking of the Pelicans.

In the postgame press conference he joked, "Heck, that's a week's worth of hitting for me and I did it all in one day. I guess I can take the rest of the week off... Right, skipper?"

T. Yamamoto singled in the 1st, doubled in the 2nd, hit an RBI double in the 3rd, flied out in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 5th, doubled in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 8th.

Presently Yamamoto is batting .298 and has collected 10 home runs, 83 RBIs, .392 OBP and scored 107 runs.

Rancheros Chase Silences Ann Arbor
Tuesday, October 1st, 2069: Everything clicked on the hill today for Richard Chase of the Colorado Rancheros as he hurled his club to a 9-0 shutout win over the Ann Arbor Winged Lingerines, limiting them to 1 hit while recording 6 strikeouts and yielding 3 walks. He overpowered some batters with his fastball and buckled knees with his sharp breaking pitches.

"We had our shot at him a couple of different times," the Winged Lingerines manager said, "but we weren't able to get to him."

This year Chase has a 8-12 record with a 5.67 ERA in 37 starts.

Owens Reaches 300-Save Milestone in 5-2 St. Petersburg Victory
Wednesday, October 2nd, 2069: Ron Owens has joined elite company. The St. Petersburg Pelicans reliever earned his 300th save in a 5-2 victory over the Baltimore Charm at Charm Ballpark. The newest member of the 300 club told reporters after the game, "I get the ball and I try to win the game. When I get a save, my team wins and really that's all that matters. I'm happy to reach the milestone but it's just that. The more important part is that I've helped my club win." While picking up the save, Owens allowed no hits and no runs in 0.2 innings of work.

Despite the dejection of their team having lost the game, even a number of Charm fans were seen honoring Owens as they joined in the standing ovation as he recorded the final out on his historic save. "That was pretty special," he said. "Something I won't soon forget."

During his career, Owens has appeared in 808 games and captured 300 saves. To date he has 60 wins, 71 losses, and a 3.10 ERA.

Treadwell Fires No-Hitter
Monday, October 14th, 2069: It was a terrific day for Woody Treadwell of the Napa Valley Winemakers at Ballpark of Boston. He stood out with a fantastic 14-0 no-hitter against the Boston Settlers.

"I knew I had a No-No going in about the sixth inning, when I noticed no one was talking to me anymore," he said, referring to the time honored superstition of teammates avoiding the pitcher so they won't jinx the no-hitter. "Don't let people fool you. Everybody on the field and in the ballpark knows what's happening. They just pretend they don't."

For the game Treadwell totaled 3 walks and 4 strikeouts in a very strong outing.

The Napa Valley pitching coach marveled at his performance, "His mechanics were perfect and I don't think he threw one bad pitch in the whole game. He was that good."

This year Treadwell has posted a 8-10 mark in 40 starts and has a 4.76 ERA.

FANTASTIC!

A fun note about Treadwell's no-hitter.... This is the third year in a row that someone in FOOL has thrown a no-hitter. All three seasons, the no-hitter was thrown by a Napa Valley pitcher.... and it was three different pitchers that did it! Ishida (2067), Jones (2068), Treadwell (2069)

Seriously though, I'm pretty embarrassed with my failures the last 8 or 9 seasons. I realize after a long run of success you're going to have to rebuild but I didn't think it would take this damn long.

It's good to be back.

It's nice to battle you in 2 leagues. Are you leaving the Raindrops behind when we convert?

10/15:


Napa Valley 4, Boston 2
Halifax 18, Tokyo 4 (12 innings) --- yes, Halifax scored 15 runs in the 12th inning. The entire bullpen was exhausted.

Honestly, I have my headphones in and I'm completely ignoring it. I do have to see it in my peripheral vision though.

I totally didn't mean to go with a 3 man rotation, but what the hell...

My "wife" and I were just bored. We watch "Castle" but it's on summer break.

Very interesting thing for the Ranchero pitching staff: We won every PoM award shown (didn't see the September one), and 3 different guys got the awards. White with 2, Boyd with 2 and Fuji with 1. I think we have a pretty decent rotation.
