GAME 39 - Sunday, May 13th - Radio Broadcast

Well the FOFCers have finally taken to the road again. This time against the tough Pre-Nationals. On the mound tonight for the All-Stars is Babson with a 5 adn 2 record and his opponent is Burleigh Grimes who is 6 and 0 with an ERA in the low 3s.

The lineup will go like this:

The FOFCers will start with

A.Tucker in CF - the guy is playing to good to take him out for any period of time.
K.Terp at SS gets the start tonight, trying to keep Terp focused on the season.
P.Pflaggstettler RF - continues to swing a hot bat
J.Potpie 1B - finally got that 12th homerun. Let's see if he can go on another run.
D.Fouts 3B - gets another start - Benton is trying to get that bat going.
H.Hays C - this guy has been unbelievable. He'd be playing everyday, but Bullock has been tough too.
K.Ton LF - another bat that Breeze wants to see heat up.
S.Treacy 2B - still can't find a second baseman to take charge - so Treacy gets another shot.
B.Babson P - as good as anybody on the mound.


The Pre-Nationals counter with:

F.Frisch SS - solid leadoff man.
P.Waner CF - seeing more time due to outstanding production recently
R.Hornsby 2B - as good a RH batter as the any in the league.
M.Ott RF - dangerous lefty
G.Hartnett C - nice power and defense
J.Mize 1B - playing well so far this season. Probably should play more.
K.Cuyler LF - dependable player in all phases of the game
P.Traynor 3B - good at handeling the bat, but better start hitting more or Ott may start playing this spot soon.
B.Grimes P - who appears to be ready....

and brings up Kiki Cuyler next

Foul tip...
Strike three as Hays holds on to it
Kiki didn't come through this time
And that will do it for NL Pre WWII
FOFC wins 4 to 0
Babson gets credit for the win

The hitting star for FOFC
was Dan Fouts
He was 1 for 4 with a homerun

Well, my hitting still seems to be slumping, but at least I had some defense that turned into a "Web Gem" and a double....

Hopefully I can build off this decent performance..

It's kind of depressing that going 1 for 4 raised my average seven points. Still, nice to see the power's there.

The two strike outs suck, but I'll take 2 hits in 5 at bats anyday

Good win!

GAME 40 - Monday, May 14th - Radio Broadcast

We have a great match up of starting pitchers tonight. Rob Nielsen and Pete Alexander - two guys who can throw the rock...

And throw back a drink or too...

Anyway Nielsen comes in with a 5 adn 1 record while Alex is 4 and 2.

The lineups for tonight:

A.Tucker CF
S.Gunner LF
J.Nights SS
P.Pflaggstettler RF
D.Gonzalez 1B
D.Fouts 3B
B.Bullock C
S.Treacy 2B
R.Nielsen P

It looks like Benton has tried to load up the lineup with batters who hit right handers well.

For the Pre-Nationals

F.Frisch SS
P.Traynor 3B
R.Hornsby 2B
M.Ott RF
K.Cuyler CF
J.Medwick LF
E.Lombardi C
B.Terry 1B
P.Alexander P

Big slow curve...
And it's in there, strike three
One away in the top of the 1st for FOFC

Third base coach Dick Howser
doesn't want to gamble
Nothing ventured, nothing gained...

Pflaggstettler pulls this
one down the line
Medwick is at the warning track
The ball is hooking...
Just foul!
. . . Pflaggstettler back in the box
And here comes the next pitch
Hanging curve...
Swung on...
Pflaggstettler turned that one
around in a BIG WAY...
Forget it, that one is long
gone... a home run
Medwick didn't even move

Slow ground ball
Terry is charging it
He fires it to first
He's OUT
Two away

Fouts sends a routine ground ball to first
Terry takes it on one hop
Flips it to Alexander
Easy out
That will do it for FOFC

right out of the barrel
So FOFC leads 3 to zip as NL
Pre WWII comes to bat

Frisch starts... but lays
off the pitch upstairs
Ball four, Nielsen walks him

Base hit to right for Traynor

FOFC leads 3 to 0 with
two away this inning

And it freezes Tucker

and just watches it curve over
the outside corner...

That retires the side...
Tucker fails to come through in the clutch
For FOFC, No runs, one hit, no errors

Under it is Bullock...and he's got it
With one down, up next is Joe Medwick
To be followed by Ernie Lombardi

Stan Gunner is trying to get to it
This might be stretched into a triple!

Well, how about that
The Pre-Nationals have a rally going here
If they can bunch together
another ten or so baserunners,
they'll be right back in it!

Frisch only gets a piece of it
Lifted up over the infield...
It should be an easy out...
And it will be Nights making the play
That's one away for the Pre-Nationals

The bottom dropped out of that one!
A wicked pitch!

The All Stars score 1 run in the inning
After 4 and a half innings,

Fastball, a dandy...
Steee Rike THREE swinging!
Kiki looked like Casey on that pitch

Here's the play on the trail runner...
Nights is out trying for third!
Double for Nights

There's a fly ball to Stan Gunner
Gunner circles under it...
He makes the play
One away, two to go in the
bottom of the 8th

Good slider, inside part of the plate
Terry gets the bat on it...
Slams a sharp grounder to the right side
Treacy grabs it...
Throws to first...
OUT!
And there's two away

Leo Durochure brings on Paul Waner
to hit for Dizzy Dean
The Pre-Nationals are way behind
They need baserunners...
And a lot of them!

Hard slider, paints the inside corner
Waner gets a piece of it...
Slams a sharp grounder to the right side
Gonzalez grabs it...
Races to first...
Beats Waner for the out
That ends the inning
After 8 innings, FOFC leads by 7
Rube Marquard will be coming on
to pitch for NL Pre WWII
Rube has appeared in 8 games this season
with a record of 2-5
In 58 innings, he has an 6.40 ERA
Dizzy Dean has finished his work
here this evening

The pitch is just inside
and Gazelle holds up
Lombardi points down at
the first base umpire
He went around
That is strike three!
And there's one away

Curveball, inside corner, low...
Swung on...
And lined to left for a base hit
No chance to get that one

Low and away...Swung on...
Lined into left...
Medwick coming on fast...
He can't get it...
has to take it on one hop...
Throws it in to second
Score that a single for Fouts
That pitch looked like a fastball
But it sure had a lot of movement on it

Base hit to center for Bullock
Dick Howser puts up the stop sign...
Runners hold.

Bouncer to the mound
Marquard grabs it
Throws home and nails him!
On to first
He's OUT, a home to first double play
Score It: 1-2-3
That's three outs here in
the top of the 9th
Now NL Pre WWII will try to close the gap
To at least try to make it respectable

Frankie Frisch swings
He really stings this one
It rifles past Treacy into right...
Base hit for Frisch...
Gunner is over to cut it off...
Now he tosses it in to the infield
Frisch is on with a sharp single

He goes after the low slider
At the knees...
There's a fly ball into
straight-away right
Gunner slides...
Traynor is out!
Nice catch by Stan Gunner!
While we wait for Rogers Hornsby
to get a new bat
Let's check the scoreboard
These scores are final...
Negro League II topped Negro
League I 8 to 5
Turn of Century cuffed AL Post WWII 7 to 4
Hunter takes the loss, his
record drops to 3-3
Waddell the winner, he's now 4-3
AL Pre WWII nipped Dead Ball Era 6 to 5
Left Outs clubbed Japanese League 9 to 2
Snider has hit his 11th
homerun for Left Outs
NL Post WWII nipped Old Timers 6 to 5
Bunning the winner, he's now 2-5
Cummings takes the loss, his
record drops to 0-2
Caribbean nipped Late 20th 2 to 1
And here in NL Pre WWII FOFC ahead 11 to 4
OK, let's see if NL Pre WWII can
get back in this ballgame
Currently down by 7

Hornsby sends a hot smash to the mound
Fozborg takes it on one hop
Fires to Treacy for one
Back to first for the double play!
And that will do it for NL Pre WWII
FOFC wins 11 to 4
Nielsen gets credit for the win
Fozborg notches the save
Alexander takes the loss
The hitting star for FOFC
was Persimmon Pflaggstettler
He was 2 for 4 with 2 homeruns!
He also knocked in 5 runs
And that wraps things up
So long from NL Pre WWII.

After using all their pitchers yesterday, the Pre-Nationals are stuck going with Rube Marquard today. Not one of their star pitchers, but we'll see how the lefty fares against the3 and 2 Mighty, who could really use some run support.

He needs one today
He told me that this year
he has had trouble
pitching well on days that they played
the National Anthem
His 6.29 ERA backs that assessment up

Sinking fastball...
Nights goes down after it...
And slaps a hard grounder
right at Jackson...

Two down

the first two batters in a row

On to first
Double Play!
Score It: 5-4-3
That's all for the All Stars
No runs, 2 hits, no errors and
one man left on base...
We go to the bottom of the 2nd...
We're scoreless

Fly ball to right
Pflaggstettler is under it
He makes the grab
One away in the bottom of
the 2nd for NL Pre WWII

Smash to short
Jeff Nights boots the ball
He's charged with an error
That's 1 miscue for Nights

Bounced towards the hole
Nice play by Nights
Over to second for one
On to first
Double Play!
Score It: 6-4-3
That wraps up the inning for NL Pre WWII
Time to check out the rest of the scores

Two down
Hartnett asks for a new ball
He calls time and trots out to the mound
A conference going on between
Hartnett and Marquard

Big bender, low and inside...
Swung on...
Line single to Cuyler in center...
Picking it up in a hurry is Cuyler...
Tucker takes a wide turn...
But stays at first base
as the throw comes in

Tucker edges away from first base
Tucker has been successful
in 11 of 12 attempts
so far this season

He gets under it a little...
But it is going way back in left-center

Beautiful play by A. J. Tucker!
Two up, two down

Marquard swings and misses
STRIKE THREE!
Mighty strikes out Rube Marquard
That does it for NL Pre WWII
in the bottom of the 3rd

Curve in the dirt... and Potpie holds up
Looked like he went around from here
But the man in blue says no
Hartnett appeals to first
Appeal fails
Potpie will take first on the walk
That's 1 walk today for Potpie

Base hit to center for Hays
Dick Howser puts up the stop sign...
Potpie will stay at second

Palmer fouls off the bunt attempt
The count goes to 1 and 2, we'll have
to see if they keep the bunt play on

Curve, up high...
Palmer rips it to left...
Marquard hung that breaking ball
However, Deacon got under it just a bit
Medwick started back on it
Now he's coming in...
He's under it and makes the easy catch
"Can of Corn"
NL Pre WWII gets the first
out of the inning

Gazelle swings from his heels
He connects!
There it goes...
Medwick is up against the wall
He jumps
Outstanding catch
That sure looked like it
was going downtown
Two down
Due up next is Barrett Blade
Let's see what happens now

Blade takes inside, for a ball...
Blade will trot down to first...
He walks to load the bases
Potpie and Hays move up
Al Mighty is up next for FOFC

Mighty lifts a routine fly to center
Cuyler drifts over and makes the catch
Al leaves the bases full
The NL Pre WWII fans breath

Treacy waits for it to come down
Snap throw to first...OUT!
Jake leaves the Turn of Century
faithful disappointed
Turn of Century is out of here
in the bottom of the 3rd
This game is coming to you from Yellowstone
Park in Turn of Century
After 3 innings
Turn of Century has 2 runs,
3 hits and no errors
While FOFC has no runs,
2 hits and no errors

Pflaggstettler hits one on the
ground to the left side
Persimmon, who moves well,
is motoring to first
Wagner wings it quickly to Beckley...
OUT by a step

The batter checks his swing
Here's the appeal
Potpie swung, that's strike three
Potpie isn't happy at all with that call
That's two away

Palmer swings and misses
STRIKE THREE!
Rusie strikes out Deacon Palmer
That ends the inning
After 3 and a half innings, Turn
of Century leads by 2

Fastball, STRIKE THREE!
Duffy was frozen on that
fastball by Hunter
High and on the outside corner
He was looking for an off-speed pitch
With one down, up next is Roger Bresnahan
To be followed by Amos Rusie

Big bender, low and inside...
Swung on...
Line single to Ton in left...
Picking it up in a hurry is Ton...
Bresnahan takes a wide turn...
But stays at first base
as the throw comes in

Rusie raps a hard grass
cutter toward short
Nights takes two steps to his left
Scoops it up
Over to second for one
Back to first for the deuce!
That'll do it in the bottom of the 4th
No runs, one hit and no errors
Turn of Century ahead 2 to 0
And now we'll pause for station
identification
This is your Strat-O-Matic
Broadcast System...

Fastball, up at the letters...
Bullock swings...
Skies on to deep right
Keeler racing back...
Back...
At the wall...
HE'S GOT IT!... NOW HE DROPS IT!
The ump is signaling no out
Bullock motors easily into second
As Keeler throws the ball in
That'll be a two base error on him
That should have been an easy catch
Score It: E9
Bullock to second

There's a ball in front of the plate...
Bresnahan gets in front to block it...
But it's off his mitt to his left
Bullock is off for third base...
Bresnahan picks up the ball
and from his knees
Whips it to Kelley...
Bullock slides...
SAFE!!
Score it a wild pitch on Amos Rusie

Ton flies out to center
Dick Howser won't risk sending
the runner home...
Runner holds.

Treacy rolls one toward Nap Lajoie
He scoops it and fires to
first...close play
OUT, says the first base umpire
Joe Adcock throws his hands up
in disbelief
Turn of Century on top 2 to 1
with two away this inning

Good slider, inside part of the plate
Hunter gets the bat on it...
Slams a sharp grounder to the right side
Lajoie grabs it...
Throws to first...
OUT!
That wraps up the inning for FOFC
So After 4 and a half innings
Turn of Century has 2 runs,
4 hits and one error
While FOFC has one run,
2 hits and no errors
FOFC has left 2 stranded
Turn of Century has failed to bring home 4

There's a ground ball into the hole
Palmer and Nights converge on it
It's picked by Nights who fires to first
OUT is the call
Close play!!
One gone for Turn of Century

Keeler tries to hold up, but can't
He pops one into short right
Pflaggstettler is coming in hard...
Treacy is racing with his
back to the infield
And neither is going to get it!
Keeler is on with the "excuse me" single!

The Centurions try the hit and run!
Hunter's fastball is ripped toward short
Nights can't get to it!
It is into the outfield...
Keeler was off and running with
the crack of the bat
He is on his way to third...
They'll have a chance to get him...
Here's the throw...
SAFE!
A nice shot by Kelley
and a nice piece of baserunning as well
So there are runners on the
corners for Nap Lajoie
Kelley makes Connie Mack
look like a genius!

Kelley watches Hunter as he
inches away from the base
Hunter holds the runner

Looping fly to center
A. J. Tucker charges the ball
It falls in front of him
Turn of Century adds to their lead
Turn of Century ahead 3 to 1

Lajoie takes his lead
Lajoie is going on the pitch!
It's a fastball at the knees...
Bullock comes up from his stance firing...
Lajoie is in there under the tag!
No, wait a minute...
Yes, he is safe
The umpire was not too
decisive on that one

And Wagner will be trotting to first
They have walked him intentionally
Makes sense considering Wagner's numbers
He carries a .557 slugging average!

Fastball, down and in...
Swung on...
It's a dribbler toward first...
Potpie up with it...
Throws to the plate...
In plenty of time for the force play...
The throw to first...
Beckley is safe at first...
They are unable to turn the double play
But FOFC did get the lead runner
The bases are still loaded
for Hugh Duffy up next
Two gone here in the bottom of the 5th
We want to welcome the "Strat Fan
Hall of Fame Club"
to the game tonight
We hope you enjoy your
trip to the ballpark

Duffy swings and lifts one toward left
Ton drifts over slowly...
He is under it now...
And makes the easy catch...
That ends the inning for Turn of Century
Turn of Century has 3 runs,
7 hits and one error
While FOFC has one run,
2 hits and no errors
Turn of Century has now stranded
7 baserunners

Hit right back to Rusie
On to first and Tucker is gone
That's the first out of the inning
Two more to go

Did he check his swing?
YES!
It's a walk

Pflaggstettler drives one into center
Hugh Duffy sprints over to make the play
Turn of Century on top
3 to 1 with two away
Let's check some other scores as well

Japanese League is edging
Old Timers 3 to 2
Left Outs and Negro League

Mantle has hit his 14th homerun
for AL Post WWII
Dead Ball Era leads Negro League I 4 to 3
NL Pre WWII slipping by Caribbean 4 to 2
Late 20th is beating NL Post WWII 4 to 0
Glavine comfortably ahead for Late 20th

It's in the dirt and bounces away
Nights heads to second
And he'll make it on the wild pitch

Potpie swings and hits a
towering shot to left
Back... back...
Way back...
Burkett reaches up...
And takes it in at the warning track
Looked like it was going out of here
So FOFC leaves a runner down at second
Turn of Century leads by 2
We will be right back...

Swung on and a drive to left-center
Tucker is after it, but he
won't catch this one
It one hops off the fence
Tucker has a bit of trouble
That's enough for Bresnahan
He's heading for third
The throw is right on line...
But Roger Bresnahan slides in safely!
BOOM!
A nice start here in the bottom of
the 6th for Turn of Century
It's scored a triple
Number 1 on the season

Amos Rusie hits a medium deep fly ball
Persimmon Pflaggstettler lines
up his throw to the plate
He makes the catch
Appears to lose his balance
and his throw goes wide
Rusie gets an RBI on the sac fly

Excellent sinker pitch, outside...
Burkett gets good wood on it anyway
There's no doubt, that one is outta here!!
Burkett circles the bases
As Hunter asks for a new
ball from the umpire
Now Turn of Century on top 5 to 1

Fly ball to right
Pflaggstettler is under it
He makes the grab
Two away now for Turn of Century
They're ahead by 4
The Centurions have 9 hits on the evening

Kelley starts... but lays
off the pitch upstairs
Ball four, Hunter walks him

Kelley inches slowly away from the bag
Kelley is running!
The slider is low...
Bullock blocks the pitch
The throw from Bullock...
Super throw by Bullock
Kelley is a dead duck!
Bullock has a rifle for an arm

Fastball... down and away...
Rusie just misses the corner... ball four
That's 2 walks given up by Rusie today

Fastball down low...
Bullock swings and hits one out to left
Jesse Burkett is drifting over...
Now he's under it...
Easy out for Rusie
Palmer trots back to first
Turn of Century gets the first
out of the inning

It's a rainbow shot toward left
Burkett reaches up
Makes the catch!
Didn't have to move an inch
Two gone for FOFC
Time is running out for them

And Treacy will sit down...
strike three called
After 6 and a half innings
Turn of Century on top 5 to 1

It's time for the 7th inning stretch!

There's a liner over short...
Solidly stroked by Lajoie
No chance for either Nights or Gunner
That one had base hit written all over it
(Ballpark Double Effect)

Wagner swings and misses
Strike three
Wagner didn't have a good
cut at that pitch
And there's one away

Beckley sits on the change up
He lofts a fly ball towards Tucker
Tucker gliding under it...
Appears to lose sight of it
Has it again...
And makes the catch in medium center
Two down

Duffy watches a roundhouse
curve all the way in
Strike Three called!
That one started out right at Hugh,
In fact, he started to bend back
out of the way
Fozborg just delivered a sweeping curve
that just caught
the inside corner of the plate
That is the third out for
Turn of Century here
in the last of the seventh
The attendance has just been
announced at 48465

There's a shot off the bat of Stan Gunner
But it's right at Lajoie
who makes the catch of the line drive
Gunner throws his bat into
the dirt in disgust
While we wait for A. J. Tucker
to get a new bat
Let's check the scoreboard

Old Timers besting Japanese League 9 to 4
Left Outs and Negro League
II are all knotted at 2
Goslin has hit his 6th homerun
for Left Outs
AL Post WWII and AL Pre WWII are tied at 2
Mantle has hit his 14th homerun
for AL Post WWII
Dead Ball Era leads Negro League I 6 to 5
NL Pre WWII is edging Caribbean 4 to 3
Klein has hit his 4th homerun
for NL Pre WWII
Late 20th is beating NL Post WWII 4 to 0
And in our contest Turn of
Century leads 5 to 1
OK, let's see if FOFC can get
back in this ballgame
Currently down by 4

Changeup down low...
Tucker makes contact and
hits one out to center
Hugh Duffy is drifting over...
Now he's under it...
Easy out for Rusie
Two away for FOFC
They trail Turn of Century by 4
They have only 4 outs to score 4 runs
Never a good sign when
those two numbers are equal

It's a routine fly into right
Keeler ranges over and reaches up
He grabs it for the out
That does it for FOFC in
the top of the 8th

Bresnahan pounds a grounder
toward Palmer at third
Deacon moves in front of it...
Whoops... a bad bounce
But Palmer stayed with it
Over to first and Bresnahan is retired
Nice play by the FOFC third baseman
So one up and one gone

Struck him out on a fastball
Rusie goes down swinging
Two up, two down

A hot shot on the ground to Palmer
He's got it cleanly on one hop...
Over to first and Collins is out
That's all for the Centurions
No runs, no hits and no errors...
At the end of eight full innings...
Turn of Century ahead 5 to 1

Slow ground ball
Wagner is charging it
He fires it to first
He's OUT
One up, one down

Potpie waves half-heartedly at the curve
Strike Three!
Jeeberoni looked fooled on that one
2 strike outs on the night
And that is 6 for Rusie
That's the second out of the inning

Palmer gets wood on the hard slider
It's a bouncer hit past the mound...
And PAST Wagner into the outfield...
Base hit for Palmer

A curve over the outside corner
No, wait a second...
The umpire is now signalling ball four!
At first he seemed to be
indicating a strike
Listen to those boos
Rusie takes a few steps toward
home; now turns back
Well, as the "great sage"
`Chief' Bender said
"Do not find too much fault
with the umpires
You cannot expect them to be
as perfect as you are"

There's a drive to straight away center
Duffy is running back...
At the warning track...
It might be...
No... a great leaping grab by Hugh Duffy!
Almost out of here
And that will do it for FOFC
Turn of Century wins 5 to 1
Rusie gets credit for the win
Hunter takes the loss
The hitting star for Turn of Century
was Jesse Burkett
He was 2 for 4 with a homerun
And that wraps things up
So long from Turn of Century.

It's time for the 7th inning stretch!

It's a wicked breaking ball
Out of the strike zone

Hays appeals to the first base umpire
He held up, ball four
Never a good time for a lead-off walk
But especially not late in the game

The runner goes with the pitch!

The cut at the high hard
heat from Fozborg...

Tailor-made doubleplay ball
Joe Kelley scoops it up
fires it to second
The relay...
Out at first!
Around-the-horn! The Centurions
pull off a 5-4-3 doubleplay
Three down for FOFC
Now the Centurions will be coming up
for what they hope will be their
last at bat of the evening
They lead by 2, 3-1

There's a ground ball into the hole
Palmer and Nights converge on it
It's picked by Palmer who fires to first
OUT is the call
Close play!!
One down for Turn of Century
Jesse Burkett is in the on-deck circle
ready to make his way to the
plate for Turn of Century

Hard slider...
And Burkett takes it right down the middle
Strike three called

High and tight
He takes it for a walk

Stretching to his lead is Keeler
He has this down to a science
He is an outstanding base stealer
He gives opposing teams fits
Rodney steps off the rubber
Looks Keeler back to the bag

Joe Kelley hits a drive to left-center
A. J. Tucker is at the warning track
Reaches up...
Jumps...
And snares it for the out
I'm impressed!
That wraps up the inning
for Turn of Century
By the way, Turn of Century is 4
and 6 in their last ten games

Fastball, swung on and missed
Young's heater was too much
for Gonzalez that time...
Number 11 on the evening for Cy!
He's really mowing them down
Young retires the first batter to
face him in the top of the 9th

Sinking fastball...
Hays swings...
Raps a hard ground ball
right at Kelley...
He snares it easily, throws to first...
Out by a step
Two up, two down

Changeup down low...
Palmer makes contact and
hits one out to right
Wee Willie Keeler is drifting over...
Now he's under it...
Easy out for Young
And that will do it for FOFC
Turn of Century wins 3 to 1
Young gets credit for the win
Babson takes the loss
The hitting star for Turn of Century
was Honus Wagner
He was 2 for 4
And that wraps things up
So long from Turn of Century.

FOFC Dynasty Update


I know write ups have been lacking, but I'm trying to squeeze some stuff in during the holidays, so the dynasty doesn't become completely stagnant. I'll get back to more of the interactive posting in '06 (and yes, I'll try harder to get my uploads onto the server to the website will get caught up).

Score It: 4-6
The runner on first, Wagner, is out
Rob Nielsen holds the Centurions
scoreless in the first

This is the Strat-O-Matic Broadcast System
We are pleased you joined
us for today's ballgame
Now back to baseball where
After 2 and a half innings,
FOFC leads 4 to 0

It's terrible when you come up on the short end of one of these!'

FOFC MANAGER UPDATE

Press Conference


Stan Hack - "Benton you've lost 3 in row now."

I roll my eyes, and look at him, sigh and ask, "Was that a question?"

I looks at me shocked like how can you be so stupid, then he says, "Yes."

"OK, um...well yes - we have lost 3 in a row." I look around for the next question, but before I can get one, Hack barks out, "Does that bother you?"

"I'm not thrilled about it, but I knew it would happen sooner or later, and will undoubtedly happen again at some point during the season."

Hack, still chiming in before everyone else, "What about the clubhouse?"

I shake my head thinking, 'What about the clubhouse. It's not bad for a road clubhouse. Chairs are comfortable, and we have televisions to watch. IDIOT', but I bite my tongue and say, "I assume your asking how the players feel about the losing streak?"

Same stupid look answers my question "I'm sure they feel like me. We don't like to lose, and you really don't like to get on a losing streak, but when you have the best record in baseball by 6 or 7 games and we are only half way through the second month - it's a little easier to swallow."

Stan starts to ask another question, but before he can finish I say, "Lou," and point to him.

Lou Scribe says, "Why did you leave Rodney in so long? You were leading when you brought him in and losing when you took him out. Why not pull him quicker."

"Good question. Actually, I decided to let him pitch for 2 reasons. The first was that I wanted to see how he would handle the adversity. I don't want to be facing the same situation in the playoffs, without knowing how he's going to perform under pressure. Secondly, I was looking for a strikeout and Rodney is probably the best at getting one on the team, unfortunately he didn't this time."

Blaine Crease asks, "Since Rodney didn't get the job done, does this mean we can expect to see him in mop up duty for a while?"

"Hardly. You have to remember he got the first out. Then gave up a single. The key was the walk on the full count. If he had gotten that call, I doubt they'd have gotten a run in the inning. There is a huge difference in two outs and 1 on first then 1 out and men on first and second."

Scribe again, "Benton, Pflaggstettler has really fallen off. Do you expect to juggle your lineup because of that?"

"Actually, Percy grabbed me on the way in here, and told me I probably aught to drop him in the order. So he recognizes he's struggling a bit, but in all honesty, did you really expect him to hit .360 for the season? He's doing fine. I'll probably give him a few days off, let him get his head right and work him back into the line. Will he hit third? I don't know. Hayes and Palmer are playing well right now, maybe one of them moves into that spot."

Hack, "What about the other players?"

I can't hold my tongue this time, "What about what with the other players?"

He just looks at me. Crease chimes in, "Are some of the other players aware of your plans and are they excited about the juggling of the lineup or the chance to see the field more?"

"I haven't told them, but I'm sure they are. Everyone on this team is great, and they all want to play everyday - this will give a couple players a few chances to shine."

Gentlemen, that's going to have to do it for tonight. We'll talk to you after the next game.

GAME 45 - Sunday, May 19th - Radio Broadcast


Well fokes we thought we were going to get a match up of 2 premier lefties today, but the Post-Nationals didn't cooperate. Originally, it looked like we were going to see Koufax and against Mighty, but the Post WW2 Nationals decided to throw Gibson today instead...and he ain't too shabby a pitcher either.

The lineups for tonight, we see that Benton wasn't joking about making some changes to his lineup. Of course some could be to counteract the extremely tough right handed Gibson too...

A.Tucker CF
S.Gunner RF
D.Gonzalez 1B
D.Fouts 3B
B.Bullock C
K.Ton LF
S.Treacy 2B

FOFC Manager Update

Press Conference

Stan Hack, "4 in a row now."

"Yes Stan, 4 comes after 3," I say sardonically.

Lou jumps in quickly,"Coach, why so many new players in the lineup tonight?"

"I wanted to get some players at bats. It's been a while since Terp played, Fouts, Ton, and Bullock have been on the bench a bit too. Plus with the tough righy in Gibson it gave me a chance to work the lefties in."

"What made you decide to change pitchers in the 8th?" Blaine Crease asked.

"We'll after Mighty gave up the hit to Morgan, I really didn't want the lefty late in the game facing Clemente and Aaron with runners on."

"Why Kronside?" Crease follows up.

We'll with Musial behind Aaron in the order, I wanted a pitcher that was RH but performs well against lefties. Kronside is the best one we have in the pen for that, plus Rodney pitched last night."

"So you didn't have confidence in Rodney?" Hack asks.

I think, wow he actually formed the sentence as a question. "Last nights loss had nothing to do with Rodney not pitching. It was simply Kronside's turn to throw."

"Why leave Kronside in so long?" Lou querries.

"We'll to be honest...we intentially walked Aaron, then he gets the double play I was hoping for. Then he walks Campanella...no problem. I rather him walk the guy with a base open then to give up a hit and allow a run to score. Plus he was close on the full count pitch. Then the next guy, Banks is almost a carbon copy of the Campy at bat. The only bad series of pitches he has were the ones to Schmidt. That was the 1 walk that hurt."

"Have you lost confidence in Jace now too?" Hack smirks.

"I haven't lost confidence in anyone, Stan, but as soon as I do, I promise you'll be the first to know."

"Good night gentlemen, see you at the park tomorrow."

2.27 ERA (league leading, or very close I would think) with a 3-3 record? That's screwed up. Being the lazy ass I am, I won't look it up, but I wonder what the run production has been for the games/starting pitchers?

GAME 46 - Monday, May 20th - Radio Broadcast


The FOFCers are coming into this game with a 4 game losing streak. To try and get some good carma, Benton Breeze has decided to go with Williams today on the hill. I asked him about it and he said that 'Williams had been pestering him for a start and that this might be a good time to roll the dice on making a change'.

He'll need some good forturne because the opponent on the hill is Sandy Koufax.

The line ups look like this...All Stars...
A.Tucker CF
J.Nights SS
H.Hays C
J.Potpie 1B
D.Palmer 3B
K.Ton LF
G.Gazelle RF
S.Treacy 2B
J.Williams P

Post-Nationals...

J.Morgan 2B
P.Rose LF
R.Clemente RF
H.Aaron CF
S.Musial 1B
E.Banks SS
E.Mathews 3B
R.Campanella C
S.Koufax P


Here we go.

Tucker rips a hard drive
off a hanging curve
That will be in there for extra bases
Tucker is around first, heading for two...
Aaron is up with it and
fires it in quickly
A. J. pulls up sharply at second...
A stand-up double for the
FOFC center fielder
A. J. also ups his hitting
streak to 9 games!
That is Tucker's 1st hit today

The hit and run is on!
It's low
and it gets away from Campanella!
It's rolling to the backstop
Now Campanella has it
too late, the damage is done.
It's scored a wild pitch.
Tucker takes third

Curve, a beauty...
Strike three looking!
With one down, up next is Harry Hays
To be followed by Jeeberoni Potpie

Change up...
Hays hits a high fly ball
Aaron drifting under it...
He makes the catch, but trips...
And he is unable to make the throw
Tucker scores on the sac fly
Two down

Potpie skies one very high
The ball drifts a bit
Campanella calls for it
Puts it away!
That's three outs, side retired

Morgan swings...
Hits the fastball on the ground...
Down the line at first...
Potpie trying to backhand it...
Can't get a glove on it
It's into right field for a hit

Rose showing bunt...
He lays it down
Deacon Palmer looks at second
But goes to first...
Out... Morgan advances to 2nd
A sacrifice for Pete Rose
One out
Due up next is Roberto Clemente

Fastball, belt high, away...
Clemente goes after it...
There's a fly ball to Ton
Ton is gliding under it...
He flags it down on the run
That's the second out of the inning

Stroked to third
Clean single for Aaron
The game is tied!

Musial connects on the curve...
This one is really smoked...
Gazelle starts back...
Now he just stops to look
Musial got all of this one....
See ya, It's a home run!
Aaron scores in front of him

Ernie Banks swings at a breaking ball
There it goes, way back
towards left-center
Tucker looks up
Kiss that one good bye!!
Back-to-back home runs for NL Post WWII!
NL Post WWII ahead 4 to 1...
That one had some distance

Comebacker, right to Williams
Over to Potpie for the easy out
'Come back, Little Sheba'
And that retires the side

Sinking fastball...
Palmer goes down after it...
And slaps a hard grounder
right at Banks...
He scoops it up, over to first...
And Palmer is out by a step
One down for FOFC
K. A. Ton is in the on-deck circle
ready to make his way to
the plate for FOFC

The pitch is just inside and Ton holds up
Campanella points down at
the first base umpire
He gives the "safe" sign
K. A. trots down to first... ball four

Koufax loses him
Gazelle heads down to first

Treacy hits a roller to Joe Morgan
Morgan comes up with it and throws
It's in the dirt
Musial can't come up with it
That'll be a throwing error on Morgan
That's error number 1 of the
game for NL Post WWII

The squeeze play is on!
Williams lays it down
Musial charges in after it
He dives...
Scoops it up...
Flips to Campanella
Ton slides...
OUT!
Two down
Due up next is A. J. Tucker
Let's see what happens now

It is a high hard one...
Tucker goes on a fishin' trip
Strike three swinging!
That one sailed up and
out of the strike zone...
Tucker couldn't hold back
Whew!...
The Post-Nationals dodge a bullet!
FOFC leaves them full here
in the top of the 2nd
as 0 runs come across
So, NL Post WWII leads 4 to 1

Campanella takes a cut at the slider...
There's a line drive...
Going over the head of Gerald Gazelle
My word! Look at that ball go!!

That's a home run!!

And that left the yard in a hurry
Williams can't believe it
Homer number 2 for Roy
Campanella this year
To go with his 3 RBI's

Good slider, inside part of the plate
Koufax gets the bat on it...
Slams a sharp grounder to the right side
Treacy grabs it...
Throws to first...
OUT!
And there's one away

A wave and a whiff!
Strike Three!
Morgan is down on strikes
Number 1 here today for Williams
That's two away
Nights comes over from his shortstop
position to say a few words to Williams
Pete Rose will be next up...

Rose swings, and lines it
back up the middle
It glances off Williams'
glove and rolls away
Pete Rose has himself an infield hit

Base hit to right for Clemente
Third base coach Bill Russle is
motioning Rose to third...
The throw is cut off...
That holds Clemente at first

Bounding ball to short
Taken by Nights
Over to first
In time!

FOFC Manager Update

I make it though the press conference without hitting any of the writers (not an easy task). In fact, I didn't even raise my voice, but I will admit answering some questions with a pretty peturbed tone of voice. I get home, get to sleep and wake up the next morning to read how the "Magic is Gone" and that "FOFCers are a Flash in the Pan". I want to scream, but I don't, remembering I'm in a hotel. I open to the baseball section and see how we are doing in the standings...

TE,

By my quick calculations I count 37 runs scored in your 10 starts so 3.7 runs per game (aren't you impressed with how I figured that one out? ) However, one of those starts you received 8 runs of support. Take that away and your are looking at 3.22 runs per start.

It's going... going...
FOUL!
Man, the wind really robbed Banks
. . . Banks back in the box
And here comes the next pitch
Hit in the air to left
Camped under it is Gunner
And he has it
One down...
Roy Campanella is due up next
Let's see what happens now

Ripped to third, but right
at Palmer...easy out
NL Post WWII on top 3 to 2 with
two away this inning

We are going to have a pinch hitter
Billy Williams will bat for Juan Marichal
It will be the lefthand hitting, Williams
against the righty Rodney
Williams is hitting righties
for a .178 average

Williams drives the ball to
center for extra bases
Musial scores
Bill Russle is giving the green light...
The throw is coming home...
Aggressive baserunning by NL Post WWII...
It's cut-off
The run scores
Here's the play on the trail runner...
All runners are safe!
Double for Williams

Morgan is gone on strikes
Left with the bat still in
the cocked position
That ends the bottom of the 8th
After 8 innings, the Post-Nationals
lead by 3
Jim Bunning will be coming on
to pitch for NL Post WWII
Jim has appeared in 18 games this season
He has a record of 2-6
with 6 saves
His ERA stands at 5.40

Hard slider...
And Pflaggstettler takes it
right down the middle
Strike three called
With one down

Musial yells something out to Bunning
Jim nods his head

Shallow fly ball
Clemente charging
HE DIVES...
HE CAN'T GET IT!
Palmer stops at first
That's a single

Hot shot grounded to short
Taken by Banks
Throws to second
He's out
Over to first
Not in time!
Score It: 6-4
The runner on first, Palmer, is out
Two gone for FOFC

Treacy gets good wood on it!
Right at Ernie Banks...
He leaps up high...
It's past him!
Bullock had to wait on that
to see if it would be caught
He'll have to stop at second
on that wicked line single by Treacy

It's right down the pike!
Strike three looking!
Bunning crossed Potpie up that time
And that will do it for FOFC
NL Post WWII wins 5 to 2
Marichal gets credit for the win
Bunning notches the save
Babson takes the loss
The hitting star for NL Post WWII
was Joe Morgan
He was 2 for 4 with a homerun
And that wraps things up
So long from NL Post WWII.

FOFC Manger Update

We lose another one and as I'm heading down the tunnel to the club house I'm scratching my head wondering how a team withe 3 guys in the league leaders for lowest ERA can get on a losing streak this long. And it isn't like we don't have hitters...we had 4 starters in the lineup tonight that finished the game above a .300 average.

Sal Maglie passes me and says as he goes by..."Might want to think about making a sacrafice to the baseball gods"

After a short pause he yells, "Anyone got a live chicken handy?"

GAME 48 - Wednesday, May 22nd - Radio Broadcast

"Rob Nielsen's turn to see if he can stop the bleading," says play by play man Red Barber.

"Rob's got the kind of personality you like to have in a situation like this. A little bit of a chip on his shoulder, and a tough personna. I think he's going to get it done," answers color guy Hal McRae.

Barber adds,"He'll have his work cut out for him, going against Tom Seaver who only lost 1 so far this season."

Well Benton's line up for tonight goes like this:

A.Tucker CF - who's hitting over .300 and has a nice 10 game hitting streak going
J.Nights SS - also hitting over .300 and is really setting the table nicely
P.Pflaggstettler RF - coming off a slump but played well last night with a 2 for 3 performance
J.Potpie 1B - the all-stars really need this guy to get hot again.
D.Palmer 3B - solid season thus far, but more power from this slot would help
H.Hays C - he's been fantastic on offense and defense
S.Gunner LF - going with the power hitting lefty against the righty Seaver
S.Treacy 2B - boy has this guy stepped up. Blad has been struggling at the plate, but Treacy has been solid since being inserted into the starting lineup.
R.Nielsen P - another no hitter would be real nice for this team right about now

The Post Nationals go with...

J.Morgan 2B - power, speed, average - very dangerous guy at the top of the order
P.Rose LF - ironically the best thing that may have happened to the post-nationals is Mays getting hurt, because Rose has been an awesome table setter for the this team.
R.Clemente RF - continues to pound the ball consistently
H.Aaron CF - been great since coming back from the early season injury
S.Musial 1B - as good a lefty as there is in the game
R.Campanella C - starting to get more playing time and the bat is coming around because of it.
E.Banks SS - power from the ss position
M.Schmidt 3B - getting his start against the lefty
T.Seaver P - dangerous hitter as well as pitcher.
