    Re: The career of "Nolan Ryan" - RTTS

    It's the second game of the series against the Drillers and I am called in to start the bottom of the 9th in a tie game, 2-2. I gave up a double to the leadoff hitter, got the second hitter to fly out to right and the runner advancing to third, then a single and that was that. The Drillers won the game with the walk-off single, 3-2.

      The manager must think that I have a rubber arm or something as I am summoned from the bullpen for the third straight game. I am starting the bottom of the 5th with the score 3-2, Drillers. I allow only a single in my two innings before being pinched hit for in the top of the 7th. The Drillers won this game too, to sweep the series, 5-3.

        We are back home and I am summoned in from the bullpen in the top of the 6th with two outs after the starter allowed a home run to let the Midland Rockhounds to tie the game, 3-3. I allow only two hits and we got a walk-off hit to win the game in the bottom of the 9th. My first official win as a pro!

          I haven't been called up for a few days now and the goal period ends. The manager told me that I did a good job and successfully completed all three of the goals. I was now given four goals to meet and was given two weeks to achieve them.

          1) Increase reaction time
          2) Increase fielding ability
          3) Increase bunting ability
          4) Have a .990 or better fielding percentage

            I was called into the manager's office today. I was told that one of our starters had been sent to our triple-A affiliate to replace a starter due to an injury on the Padres and that I would be taking his place as the #4 pitcher in our 5-man rotation.

              Tonight was my first start of the season and we are on the road to take on the Frisco Roughriders.

              I gave up a leadoff HR in the bottom of the 1st, on the second pitch of the game, then settled down. That was until the bottom of the 6th when I gave up a solo HR and then a single and another HR to start the half inning. I was then pulled with the score now tied, 5-5. We ended up winning the game, 9-5.

                It's my second start of the season and we are on the road to face Midland. I was basically shelled as I allowed 10 hits in four plus innings. I gave up a leadoff HR on the third pitch of the game and ended up getting pulled in the bottom of the 5th after I gave up a HR to start the half inning. That made the score 5-0, Rockhounds, as their starter went the distance and allowed only two hits. The Rockhounds won, 6-0.

                    We are now in Corpus Cristi to take on the Hooks as I make my next start. I didn't start out so hot as I allowed a run in the 1st and two more in the 2nd to put the Hooks in front 3-1. We tied the score in the top of the 4th and I was done after the 7th inning with us in front, 4-3. One of our set up men allowed two runs in the last of the 8th and the Hooks won, 5-4.

                      I was called into the manager's office today as the goal period ended. He told me to keep up the good work and it was a strong showing as I accomplished all four goals. I was then handed six goals to achieve in the next three weeks.

                      1) Increase H/9 attribute
                      2) Increase stamina

                        We completed the road trip and are now back home and hosting the Midland Rockhounds. I didn't allow a hit until the top of the 3rd but then allowed a solo run in the 4th and two more in the 5th. After I walked off the mound at the end of the 7th, the manager told me that I was done for the night. The score was 3-2 Rockhounds but we scored two in the bottom of the 8th to win, 4-3.

                          I made a couple of mistakes the first go around.

                          1) Signed only a 1-year contract to start
                          2) Built up pitches during the first goal period instead of building attributes

                          It's the attributes that get you promoted over time, not really the stats. The stats and the individual goals in each game will give you the training points. It's up to you to build the attributes with them first.

                          This time around I try to satisfy each attribute in the goal period and in order from 1st goal to last attribute increasing goal. My goals this time around has me doing a lot of running (stamina) and pitching mechanics (h/9). The pitching mechanics are also increasing my PCLT (pitching clutch) attribute as well as the H/9 (hits/9) attribute. That in itself is allowing me to hit the spots more consistently and making the key pitches more consistently as well.

                          Who knows, maybe it could also be that there is less pressure being on the Padres than the Mets.

                            We continue our homestand and are now hosting the Corpus Cristi Hooks. After a 1-2-3 first inning, I allow a solo HR to start the 2nd. From there, I got pounded and gave up three more runs in the 3rd inning and two more in the top of the 7th before I was pulled during the inning.
                            The Hooks ended up winning, 7-2.

                                We have started another road trip and we are now taking on the Frisco Roughriders. I gave up a solo homer to the second hitter of the game, Ryan Roberts, then settled down until later on in the game. After allowing a run in the last of the 6th, I start the bottom of the 7th off by allowing a couple of hits and that was it for me. We were in front, 4-2, when I left but Frisco took the lead in the bottom of the 8th, 6-4. Our bats woke up in the top of the 9th, scoring 6 runs, and we won the game, 10-6.
