FOOL 2137 Regular Season Thread

[Alan T]

Will be starting this up in about 5-10 min or so

[hyde4us11]

I have my 21 year old SS coming up. I'm really excited to see him play. The guy will hit .300 (might not hit that this year but will get there) and is a defensive wizard. Quite a few Gold Gloves in his future. I've never had a SS like Herrera before.

[Alan T]

Ok sim time, getting exports now

[CrimsonFox]

Nice hyde! Hope the AI doesn't make him retire at 24!

[Alan T]

Getting a corrupt file error for one team. going to see if they are around to try to re-export

[CrimsonFox]

I hope it's not me. :P The export tracker doesn't seem to be on for anyone but Apex. I think it's a plot.

Otani Stops Toronto
Friday, April 26th, 2137: He didn't put a spell on them. It wasn't black magic, it was just old-fashioned good pitching. That's how Sotatsu Otani of the Hammersmith Hooligans blanked the Toronto Marlboros 4-0.

After tossing a complete-game 2-hit shutout, he was all smiles, saying, "I threw a lot of my pitches for strikes in this game. I mixed it up and tried keeping these guys off balance."

His own skipper said, "He's at his best when he gets ahead of the hitters." Otani walked 1 and struck out 6 in the victory.

The Marlboros manager commented on their lack of success against him, saying, "He was throwing his breaking ball for strikes and we never capitalized on any of his mistakes."

Otani has fashioned a 3-1 mark for the season, 3.13 ERA and thrown 37.1 innings in 5 starts. Opposing clubs are batting .237 against him.

"I put in a lot of work, even on the days I might not take the field, and it's always nice when everything comes together for me like it did this last month."

In 24 games Chong batted .394 for Colorado, slapping 37 hits in 94 at-bats with 2 home runs, drove in 9 runs and scored 15 times.
