RAZRr1275's Franchise Thread

[RAZRr1275]

Okay I started one of these last year but it died because I didn't really have time to update it. I'm going to try to get this one going. As you can see the title doesn't have a team because I will be using many different teams and likely won't be finishing a season. I will be updating transactions by the day when the real thing starts.

Now I am just doing a few games until I get my rosters set. I am using pbz's sliders with some tweaks. Please do not post until I give the okay. Thanks!

When a guy needs to be created I will probably post his pitches here for those curious and they will also probably appear in struts call up thread in the show roster forum.

Tampa Bay Rays VS. Baltimore Orioles

James Shields vs Koji Uehara


Well this game got off to a bad start for me when Shields gave up 2 runs in the first inning. In the next inning Gabe Kapler hits a home run off of Uehara. 2-1. Then Shields begins to settle in and Uehara continues to pitch well making this a good duel. Bottom of the 6th. My offense goes wild. I score 3 runs making it a 4-2 game. Shields is now in line for the win. I bring in Grant Balfour for the seventh and everything goes great. No Runs No hits 2ks and 3 outs. Then next inning the Orioles bring in Jim Miller. He confuses me a lot with his weird delievery and curveball that he drops in just perfectly. 3 quick outs. Joe Nelson comes in for the 8th and gets 3 quick outs. Then in the bottom 8th the mystery of Jim Miller seems to be solved with a single and a homerun to make the game 6-2. Then Percival comes in to close it out.

Minnesota Twins vs Detroit Tigers (me)

Francisco Liriano vs Rick Porcello

Well the game starts out simple with no runs but then the twins score 1 run on a single by Delmon Young. Then in the bottom of that inning I start hitting and get a single for an rbi and a sac fly. Then we an inning with nothing scored and I explode. I get a couple hits and then liriano starts walking in runs. After walking in 2 in the 4th jesse crain comes in and walks in another. Then he gets an inning ending double play. Fast forward to top 6th. Joe Crede hits a homerun to put them back in it. But my bullpen shuts them out the rest of the way and Fernando Rodney gets the save. Porcello the winner and Liriano the loser.

Cincinnati Reds vs Florida Marlins
Edinson Volquez vs Ricky Nolasco


Well as you might expect this was a pitchers duel.

The first three I was pitching some no hit ball and volquez was pitching one hit ball. Then in the bottom of the fourth an out was converted into a hit with a throwing error. Then a walk and a single score me one run. 1-0 Marlins. I continue to pitch no hit ball and walk guys instead of giving up hits. But after 5 2/3 innings Nolasco finally surrenders a hit. In the 8th things get hairy. After one out I surrender a single and a walk. Then for a nice clutch play I strike out the next hitter. Then another walk. I have 2 guys in the bullpen ready to go but I elect to take the risk with Nolasco. I want that complete game. Jay Bruce is up tryinig to get the lead and he grounds out to first. Inning over and Nolasco gets out unscaved. Fast forward to the ninth. I get two quick outs on the Reds and then Alex Gonzalez comes up and hits a ball off the wall in left. He goes for two but I throw it in in time and get him out to end the game. Nolasco gets his complete game.
