FOOL-X 2015 Regular Season

[Alan T]

I'll start this up in about 10-15 minutes as soon as the FOOL update finishes running on my computer.

From the looks of things, I have a ton of PMs, so it might take a little bit to get the actual season rolling. Plus conference calls start at 8:30 for me this morning, so please be patient!

[Alan T]

Ok, getting exports now. Sim time!

[CleBrownsfan]

I really hope to make a playoff run this year ***crossing fingers***

Perhaps I underestimated the value of moving Carlos Gutierrez to the rotation and bringing up a 23 year old starter with a 4/8/4 ratings line. Hopefully this means the 23 year old is developing some control.

Or it could be luck and when I check on this later at work I'll have finished with the 9th pick and just out of the playoffs.

Pérez Pitches Washington to Shutout Victory
Thursday, July 16th, 2015: Isidoro Pérez of the Washington Freedom was lights out in a 2-hit whitewash of the Chicago Cardinals.

He told BNN reporters, "I had my good stuff and it went where I wanted it to go."

To date this year, Pérez shows a 6-10 record, 19 starts, 115 innings, 60 strikeouts and a 5.32 ERA.

[CleBrownsfan]

Nice to see 2b Bob Frost make the All-Star. Guy I drafted and played for us for several years and lost him to FA for a few years. Saw him on the FA market this year and I snatched him up to retire as a Nap.

Who knows how SS Juan Vásquez (CLE) is hitting... .353/.418/.487, 6 HR, 55 RB

He's a FA I picked up (1.4 mil) for his defense. Vasquez is a .225 lifetime hitter - lol

Homer #300 for Balzac's Marino
Saturday, August 22nd, 2015: A big sigh of relief erupted from Roberto Marino after he hit his 300th career homer. The Balzac catcher said, "I'm glad it's over...now I can go back to just playing baseball."

It was quite a day for Marino. He got his name in the league record books with 2 hits, 1 RBI, scored 2 runs and his team, the Balzac Ticklers beat the Plantana Pirates 4-3.

Marino knew it when he hit it. He raised his hands in the air, then ran the bases like a high school player, clapping and grinning.

He told reporters in the postgame interview, "I was acting goofy running the bases... but it was my 300th home run."

"It was great," his manager said. "He stood there and watched it...we all did. You just felt it was coming...you just had a sense he would hit it soon. He has been having a lot of good at-bats. It was great to get it out of the way."

Marino is hitting at a .250 rate over his 1690-game career. Lifetime he has 278 doubles, 13 triples and 300 home runs with 944 RBIs and 882 runs scored.

Lions Wells No-Hits Legends
Saturday, August 29th, 2015: No hitters are rare. But the fans at Legends Stadium received a special gift as Sherwood Wells of the Lions tossed a no-hitter against the New York Legends. He was masterful as he struck out 6 and walked 4 in a 4-1 Spring victory. In all Wells faced only 32 batters. Wells did not appear to have his best stuff in the early innings, but soon got into a groove and made quick work of the Legends. He was helped by several defensive gems along the way.

The New York manager said to the press after the no-hitter, "We had our chances in the first few innings, when he was hittable, but he shut us down totally in the last 4-5 innings."

"I had late movement that seemed to cause them a lot of trouble, especially from the fifth inning on," Wells said to reporters.

In 26 starts this year Wells has posted 12 wins while suffering 7 losses. He has pitched 149.2 innings, allowed 135 hits, struck out 113 and has a 3.85 ERA.

Sherwood Wells' no hitter is the first in FOOL-X since 2013!
