How come you have gray bar players, but the Sprint have MLB players from random teams?

Dream Draft.

Yeah, but how do you keep gray bars, but everyone else does dram draft?

Yes. Everyone else dream drafts. Including me.

Oh... so you just drafted all the gray bar players back, or what? I think I get it now.

Yes. I drafted the gray-bar players, from both my team, and the Sprint, which also had some gray-bar players, as they were an expansion team, also.

Also, did you enjoy the video?

Pretty good. It's kinda hard to commentate at the fast pace Power Pros moves at. You definitely have a fudgeload of energy that I really like.

Question: How do you bat with that camera angle? Is batting on automatic?

I actually have the games on the "Watch" setting, so actually see Cord hit that HR was a miracle, because of all the other times I've done that.

I got to the part with Mike Lamb, I might watch more later, but probably not.

MillionAir (0-1) vs. Miami Sprint (1-0)

Hammock (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. Trachsel (0-0, 0.00 ERA)

MIAMI, FL - The MillionAir got their first win in a close game today, by the final of 4-3. The Sprint got off to a 3-0 start, thanks to an RBI single by Rowand in the 1st, and 2 RBI hits by Mauer and Jacobs. The MillionAir C Velasquez got injured in the 5th after trying to slide into second on a wild pitch by Trachsel. He was replaced by Bullard in the next inning, and by Maurer on the basepaths. After that, the MillionAir rallied by back-to-back RBI singles by Basner and Hudgins to make it 3-2 after the 5th. Then, with runners on 2nd and 3rd with 0 outs, Bullard, the replacement C, got a bloop double off the Sprint closer, Francisco Rodriguez, that just went over the head of SS Jack Wilson, scoring both Maldonado and Inglett to make it the final score of 4-3. Asencio then came in and got the save.

LAS VEGAS, NV - The MillionAir have now dropped 2 straight, losing to the Dodgers in a blowout, 9-3. The MillionAir drew first blood in this game, with a Velasquez RBI 2B to Right-center in the 2nd, but then the Dodgers scored 5 unanswered runs in 3 innings, with singles by Luis Gonzalez, Justin Morneau, Brian Roberts, and Mike Napoli, who brought in 2. The MillionAir came within 2 runs on a Hudgins single, followed by a Barnwell single that just got past Brian Roberts at second, to make it 5-3, but in the 8th, it unraveled, as Orlando Diggins gave up a 2-run HR to Bobby Abreu, and then the next batter, Luis Gonzalez, hit a Heitpas knuckleball off the scoreboard in center to make it 8-3, and then Rodriguez (Edited player, not A-Rod) grounded out with a runner on 3rd, scoring him, to end the scoring. That same night, Orlando Diggins was sent down to AAA after posting a 13.50 ERA in 2 straight games against the Dodgers.
