During the sim today I chose to watch a documentary on Arlington National Cemetery on netflix instant watch. I'll tell you all this is so emotional. Has anyone been there before? I have to get there before I leave earth.

Strapoudopolos Shackles St Cloud
Tuesday, August 27th, 2024: All went well for Quinn Strapoudopolos of the Stafford Terriers as he pitched his team to a 6-0 shutout victory over the St Cloud Raindrops, limiting them to 3 hits while ringing up 4 strikeouts and surrendering 2 walks.

In the postgame interview, both managers had glowing things to say about Strapoudopolos.

His manager described him this way: "He's got a good selection of pitches he can throw at a guy. He changes speed, gives different looks to different hitters. When he's on his game, he's quite a handful."

The St Cloud skipper said, "He doesn't give you anything twice. It's a guessing game with him and today my club was always guessing wrong."

This year Strapoudopolos has worked 148.2 innings with 110 strikeouts en route to a 5-11 record and a 4.24 ERA.

That is a pretty brutal tongue twister...

I went when I was in 8th grade I think. The last 10 years, any time I've been in the area has been for work and I've mostly stayed over near the Reston, VA area over by the airport

Lasseter RL's #1 Pitcher in August
Sunday, September 1st, 2024: The Pitcher of the Month has been picked and the Republic League trophy went to Cleveland hurler Henry Lasseter for his strong performance in August.

During the month, Lasseter was impressive with a 2.11 ERA and 4 wins and 1 loss. In 38.1 innings he struck out 19 and gave up 35 hits and 6 walks.

So far this season Lasseter has a 10-8 record, 27 starts, 165.2 innings, 96 strikeouts and a 4.62 ERA.


Continental League Announces #1 Starter
Sunday, September 1st, 2024: Ricardo Castro nailed down August's Continental League Pitcher of the Month award today, adding pressure on St Cloud to get a deal done before the 30-year-old becomes a free agent.

Castro seems unfazed by the talk. "We get a deal done or we don't," he told reporters, "I'm not worrying about next year. Worrying about next year isn't what wins awards, you know?"

He fashioned a 5-1 record, reeled off 32 strikeouts, worked 40.2 innings and held batters to a .224 average for the month as he posted a 2.21 ERA.

This year Castro has gone 14-7 with an ERA of 3.41 and has 135 strikeouts in 184.2 innings.

Martínez Wins RL Prize, Named Best Hitter in August
Sunday, September 1st, 2024: Santiago Martínez, the New York left fielder, had a productive month in August. He put up some solid numbers with a .321 batting average (35 for 109), 12 home runs, 25 RBIs and 20 runs scored.

That standout offense earned him the Republic League Batter of the Month Trophy.

Martínez is batting .290 this year with 41 home runs, 113 RBIs and 83 runs scored. He has 157 hits in 542 at-bats.


CL Best Hitter Trophy Goes to Pak
Sunday, September 1st, 2024: Hyun-koo Pak earned August's Batter of the Month honors in the Continental League by reeling off a .337 average, going 35 for 104 with 10 home runs, 30 RBIs and 17 runs scored.

The soon-to-be free agent was hitting with great urgency in an effort to bolster his asking price in the St Cloud clubhouse and around the rest of the league.

So far this season, Pak has recorded a .298 batting average with 154 hits, 38 home runs, 110 RBIs, 92 runs scored and a .362 OBP.

This season Martínez has hit 11 home runs and posted a .251 batting average.


Daryl McDonald Captures Rookie of Month
Sunday, September 1st, 2024: August was a month to remember for Plantana left fielder Daryl McDonald and it was capped off today with the announcement that he was named the winner of the Continental League Rookie of the Month award.

Are you gonna mail them to us? Because I've been told you can't send liquid in the mail.

Its usually every other summer. We have something going on right now that is going to cost a lot of my savings account so a vacation will be skipped this year.

Chicago Hurler Captures 200th Victory
Wednesday, September 25th, 2024: History was made today at Chicago Stadium -- Mike Wheaton won game #200 to seal his name in the league record books. The Chicago ace downed the Havana Banana Sluggers 2-0 to gain entrance into the elite 200 Club.

"I was wound up at first. I think I threw too hard," remarked Wheaton, "I had to calm down and go out there and pitch... not just throw. I think I got better as the game wore on. I started to think less about 200 wins and more about doing what I had to do."

The 36-year-old Wheaton has sat down 2209 batters on strikes, walked 619 and put up a 3.88 ERA. His career won-lost record is 200-152.

None of them speak Spanish. (My oldest two daughters are from my first marriage way back when). My youngest understands spanish but doesn't speak much (just a few words. She pretty much is about the same level as I am as far as understanding and lack of speaking though)

Final game of the season!

Chicago wins or Stafford loses and Chicago is in the playoffs!

A Chicago loss with a Stafford win forces a best of 3 playoff series between the two teams to determine which one advances.


New York Win or Maricopa loss means New York is in the playoffs.

A New York loss plus Maricopa win means a best of 3 playoff between these two as well.

Damn. Can't help but think if I had asked you to AI my lineups and rotation after the signings it could've made that 1 game difference.
