Position:Relief Pitcher
Top Speed:98
Control:D
Stamina:D
Slider:1
Curveball:4
Changeup:1
Abilities:Vs. LH Batter 4, Poise 4, Recovery 4, Good Pickoff

Description:A reliever with great speed, and a curveball that breaks well. He doesn't get phased when his pitches get hit, and he can pitch almost every day for you. The only thing wrong is his stamina isn't good enough to be a starter. A good reliever.

I simulated a season last night, and we won the division by 6 games over the Mariners. Techer was 20-3 Gordon was Rookie of the Year, and 4th place in homers and RBI's. We lost in the ALCS to the Tigers. Not a bad inaugural season.

Nice sim! Can't believe Techer did so well! Now, I hope you do the actual season for this log.

I'm halfway done with one reliever, but he kept getting injured, so I called it quits for the night. Then I have one reliever to go for Monday. My plan is to get the lineup up on Monday afternoon. I might play a game on Monday, but we'll see. So, it should be up and running by Tuesday! Tomorrow I'm going to the Brewers' game , so I won't update it then. But, I'm hoping to do 1 season before school starts. Let's hope I follow through with that. I am actually kind of surprised I've kept this going this long!

Q:How come if a pitcher has 98 speed, he's only throwing 90 with red mood and me pressing A as many times as I can before he pitches?

A: His windup isn't long enough for it to reach max speed, and I've only been able to do that once on 3/4 #37 (whichever one where he holds his leg up for an eternity)

Oh. K, thanks. You're following, right? Alright, new question.

Q:Should I post everybody's stats again when I post the lineup, or are you guys good with just reading the scout's report if you're curious?

I've made Michael Arroyo before, on '07. His stats were pretty similar except with no slider and it was a Slow Curveball. And he was a starter with C stamina I think.

I'm good with just the scouting reports. But...that's just me.

BTW, how did Murphy do in his inaugural season?

Um, I THINK he had 12 or 13 wins, and maybe 7 losses. That's a guess though. I'm gonna just leave the scouting report up then, and not repost stats. On Arroyo, I would've made him a starter, but I already have 6. And I was thinking one doing a Slow Curve, but a regular curve was less points. I better go eat breakfast so I can wrap up Success Mode today.
