Hey gang, there were a ton of teams with way too many players on their squad, or over the cap. I'll be sending individual PMs to those owners, but as a general reminder:
If you are planning on signing free agents for the regular season sim, please feel free to send me a PM to me with instructions on who to send down or where to put players for the season sim. I don't mind helping with it and it is much easier than me trying to guess what to do with the players! |

Barrón Swings for the Cycle
Wednesday, April 16th, 2121: "Ladies and gentlemen, Javier Barrón has just hit for the cycle!" That was the call from the PA announcer as Barrón collected the last hit he needed to complete the cycle today against the Winter Wolves. He collected 4 hits in 8 at-bats, 2 runs batted in and 1 run scored as Napa Valley stopped Halifax 4-3 at Howler Meadow. Hitting for the cycle is one of the most difficult feats in baseball at any level. The odds are really against a player hitting a single, double, triple and a home run in the same game. "It's the last thing on my mind really. I'm out there trying to get a blooper or a walk or whatever might help the team. Hitting for the cycle is probably as much about luck as about skill," Barrón told reporters after the game. He may be right, but it's not every day that someone hits for the cycle. That's why his name will be placed in the record book. J. Barrón grounded out in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off E. Langdon in the 3rd, grounded out in the 5th, doubled in the 8th, struck out in the 10th, struck out in the 13th, singled in the 15th and hit an RBI triple in the 17th. This year Barrón is hitting .268 with 11 hits, 3 home runs, 6 RBIs and has scored 7 runs. |

Marlboros Hurler Named RL's #1 Starter
Thursday, May 1st, 2121: Lyndon Beacher's been around the league long enough to appreciate the honor he received today. After going 3-1 in April, the 31-year-old Toronto hurler has been named Republic League Pitcher of the Month. He fanned 25 in 36.2 innings, logged an ERA of 1.72 and allowed opponents to hit .215 against him. April's Best Hurler in CL Is García Thursday, May 1st, 2121: Jesús García has been around the league long enough to know that relievers are often overlooked. That has never stopped him from doing what he does best -- and he did it extremely well in April and stole away with the Continental League Pitcher of the Month award. The Brownstones bullpen ace collected 7 saves and 17 strikeouts in 15 innings, holding the opposition to a .157 average and posting a 1.20 ERA and a 2-0 record. |

O'Rorke King of the Hill, No-Hits Winter Wolves
Sunday, August 3rd, 2121: Ernest O'Rorke made quick work of Halifax at Assasins Ballpark earlier today. The 26-year-old hurler tossed a no-hitter for the Apex Assassins in defeating the Winter Wolves 3-0. "I really didn't have my best stuff today," he admitted after the game, "there's a lot of luck involved in throwing a no-hitter. Some days it's better to lucky than good." In a superlative outing he registered 8 strikeouts and 1 walk. Luck or not, O'Rorke will go down in history and will get his name written down in the league record book. This year O'Rorke has registered 10 wins and 5 losses in 21 starts with a 3.48 ERA while registering 98 strikeouts and 55 walks in 124 innings. |

In 99 games he has scored 54 times. August's Top Newcomer Named by CL Monday, September 1st, 2121: August was quite remarkable for Norman O'Dell of the Baltimore Gothams. This first-year hurler fashioned some spectacular statistics and was acclaimed the Rookie of the Month in the Continental League. O'Dell pitched 39.2 innings, fanned 26 and posted a 3.63 ERA. He chalked up 5 wins and 1 loss and held opponents to a .221 average. In season stats O'Dell shows a 10-10 record in 26 games, 142 innings, 96 strikeouts and a 4.75 ERA. |
