All 2430!!!

Re: All 2430!!!

#26 -- Royals (0-1) @ White Sox (1-0) -- Nice performance from the Royals, this one was not really ever in doubt. I may have settled in on a good custom camera, no more trying to track pitches that travel several feet left-to-right on my display.

#27 -- Pirates (1-0) @ Rays (0-1) -- If you watch the first inning, you may think I'm not half-bad at the game. If you watch the rest of the game, you might think I should find a new game to play. Also, yes the game was at the Trop. It has occured to me that I might be cheating myself out of taters by playing at retro parks, and that I cannot abide!

2-0 Red sox @ 0-2 Blue Jays and the 1-0 Nationals @ 0-1 Mets scheduled for 1:45-ish this afternoon. Play ball!

#28 -- Boston 1-7-0 (2-1) @ TORONTO 2-5-0 (1-2) -- still screwing around with camera angles. I think camera-itis is better than slider-itis?

#29 WASHINGTON 1-5-0 (2-0) @ New York N 0-1-1 (0-2) -- real low point so far. Confidence at the plate a bit low perhaps? It really just takes one game to get back in the groove, hopefully tonight's games will get me going again.

#30 -- Yankees 2-6-0 (1-1) @ Orioles 3-12-0 (1-1) -- 11 inning affair. The O's tied it up in the bottom of the ninth with a clutch 2-out double. Mets are the only team without a run now.

#31 -- Twins 1-2-1 (3-0) @ Athletics 0-4-0 (0-3) -- Honestly, I didn't think my batting was too bad. Lots of soft contact, the RNG spirits weren't with me in this one.

2399 to go!

#32 -- Phillies 4-7-1 (2-1) @ Marlins 3-12-0 (1-2) 11 innings -- Might need to tweak the power up a notch, my taters per game is low. I think 50 games will be a reasonable amount of games to assess the sliders.

#33 -- Cubs 0-3-1 (0-2) @ Brewers 2-3-1 (2-0) -- EVERYBODY SHUT UP FOR A SECOND, I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE!

(hangs head) I may have been wrong to use pure analog. (gasps, clutching-of-pearls, etc.)
After flailing for 4+ innings, I switched to zone hitting. Let me tell you, what a difference it made! My swings-and-misses went WAY down, and while only two runs were scored I was making way more contact, and way more hard contact. Turns out pure analog may have been costing me a lot of action.

Hopefully the offense will perk up a bit now!

#34 -- Braves 4-9-0 (3-0) @ D-backs 3-10-0 (0-3) -- Bravos one win away from a season-opening 4 game sweep on the road. Everytime Arizona takes a lead or ties it, Atlanta immediately scores.

#35 -- Angels 7-12-1 (2-1) @ Astros 1-8-0 (1-2) -- Yep, zone hitting is where it is at. Strikeouts actually make sense now, as I either (a) completely mistimed the swing or (b) locked in on the wrong side of the plate with 2 strikes. Game feels so much better now. Phew!

Rockies @ Padres and Rangers @ Mariners double header tonight!

(everyone stay safe out there!)

Re: All 2430!!!

Zone hitting is where it’s at. I’m 35 games in on my AL only season. I’m playing as only the home team and I’m 21-14 and it’s a lot of fun.

#36 -- Rockies 6-9-1 (2-1) @ Padres 5-11-1 (1-2) -- Rockies took a 5-0 lead, Padres tied it at 5 late, Rocks managed to push the winning run across in the top of the 9th.

#37 -- Rangers 0-2-2 (1-2) @ Mariners 4-4-0 (2-1) -- M's scored 3 from 2 taters in the second, Urban took care of the rest, throwing 7.2 scoreless. Well pitched game, lots of corners hit, used the entire strike zone.

Gonna take a step back today and try to belatedly assemble spreadsheets or use ballstat to track stats for my league, games might be light for a day or two.

The rest of you, play ball!

Re: All 2430!!!

Best of luck to you! I set goal ever year to start/finish a single season with a team, playing every single game hitting and batting, and I’ve never even done that!

Re: All 2430!!!

#38 -- Giants 1-3-1 (1-2) @ Dodgers 5-4-0 (2-1) -- Meager 1-1 score going into the bottom of the 9th. LA loaded the bases up for SS Joseph Buscher and he un-loaded them for the walk-off grand salami!

--END OF DAY 3--

#39 -- Yankees 4-6-0 (2-1) @ Orioles 3-5-0 (1-2) -- Don't recall that much from this game honestly. It's what I get for playing a game early morning before work.

#40 -- Phillies 6-11-0 (3-1) @ Marlins 5-10-0 (1-3), 10 innings -- Mercifully only 10 innings after these two just played 13 the day before. Colt Snow was lights-out, 4-5, 2 doubles, 1 homer and 3 steaks.

Re: All 2430!!!

#41 -- Pirates 5-5-2 (1-2) @ Rays 8-13-0 (2-1) -- Pittsburgh jumped out with 5 runs in the first, but Tampa scored 8 unanswered the rest of the way. Baseball is a funny game.

#42 -- Nationals 3-12-1 (2-1) @ Mets 4-9-0 (1-2) -- Mets blew the save in the 9th, but came back with a walk-out tater by anderson in the 10th. Mets finally on the board!

#43 -- Red Sox 8-11-0 (3-1) @ Blue Jays 2-7-1 (1-3) -- Boston really pushed the Jays around in the 4-game set.

#44 -- Cardinals 2-8-0 (1-2) @ Reds 3-3-0 (2-1) -- Not a lot of hits in this one, but the teams combined for an unbelievable 16 walks! All of Cincy's runs came courtesy of a 3-run bomb by Starks.

Re: All 2430!!!

#45 -- Detroit 4-11-0 (2-1) @ Cleveland 7-14-0 (1-2) -- Detroit was smelling a sweep going up 4-0 in the 4th, but the Clevelander bats perked up and hit the Tiger bullpen hard.

#46 -- Angels 8-3-0 (3-1) @ Astros 3-6-0 (1-3) -- Could just be a rough start, but Houston's pitching is on notice, giving up a total of 28 runs in the opening series.

Re: All 2430!!!

#47 -- Royals 3-8-1 (1-2) @ White Sox 8-12-0 (2-1) -- Royals couldn't spoil the Sox home-opening series.

#48 -- Braves 3-7-0 (4-0) @ D-Backs 0-3-0 (0-4) -- First sweep of the season goes to the Braves. Atlanta won all for but only out-scored Arizona by 6!

#49 -- Rangers 0-4-1 (1-3) @ Mariners 4-7-0 (3-1) -- The M's went 0-9 in their first 9 plate appearances, but then scored 4 in the 4th. Go figure.

Play Ball!

Re: All 2430!!!

#50 -- Rockies 3-8-2 (2-2) @ Padres 6-7-3 (2-2) -- Sloppy performance by both teams, Colorado's 3 unearned runs were the deciding factor.

#51 -- Twins 5-8-0 (4-0) @ Athletics 4-9-0 (0-4), 11 innings -- Try as they might, the A's couldn't earn 1 win in four tries against the Twins. Meyer chalked up save #2 in the 11th.

#52 -- Cubs 4-10-0 (1-2) @ Brewers 2-8-0 (2-1) -- This game wasn't quite as close as it looked, I cost the Cubbies at least two more runs due to some really poor baserunning.

And every team has played their first series! I'll post a power ranking every #100 games or so. 2377 to go!

Re: All 2430!!!

#53 -- Royals 1-5-0 (2-2) @ Tigers 0-6-1 (2-2) -- Hat-tip to the pitchers, they kept me flailing at the plate all game long. The lone run was a cheap 340 foot tater into the right field camera well.

#54 -- Pirates 5-11-0 (1-3) @ Cubs 7-14-1 (2-2) -- Wind was blowing out at Wrigley. 'Nuff said.

#55 -- White Sox 2-6-1 (2-2) @ Indians 3-4-1 (2-2) -- Bautista walked it off in the bottom of the ninth with a clutch 2-out single.

#56 -- Nationals 4-10-0 (3-1) @ Marlins 2-12-1 (1-4) -- Marlins continue to struggle at home, and now I'm wondering if I'm trying to do too much at the plate with the fish.

#57 -- Red Sox 3-15-0 (4-1) @ Orioles 2-9-0 (1-3), 10 innings -- It's Chuck Ross' world, we're just living in it. His solo tot in the 10th gives him a .500/.591/1.056 triple slash with 3 homers and 8 RBIs.

Re: All 2430!!!

#58 -- Phillies 1-6-5 (3-2) @ Mets 3-5-0 (2-2) -- Santana blew this game for the Phils, allowing 2 in the 7th inning

#59 -- Reds 7-12-0 (3-1) @ Blue Jays 1-7-1 (1-4), 11 innings -- Reds exploded for 6 in the 11th. For the life of me, don't understand why I can't score like that every inning.

#60 -- Yankees 5-12-0 (3-1) @ Rays 2-9-1 (2-2) -- New York's Lion is still batting over .500 (.529 to be exact)

#61 -- Cardinals 3-6-1 (1-3) @ Brewers 4-8-0 (3-1) -- Heartbreaker for the Cards, lost a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the eighth.

#62 -- Giants 3-6-0 (2-2) @ D-Backs 2-5-0 (0-5) -- Lots of comebacks this round of games, now that I look at it. Giants score 2 in the top of the 9th with a clutch 2-out rally.

2368 to go!
