The eagles today won behind a dominant Zadan and homers. In his first major league at-bat, Garcia hit a homer and it was back to back as coloramino hit one before him. McMillan also got a save as the Eagles win the opener 4-1

W-Zadan
L-Padilla
S-McMillan
HR-Quentin, Coloramino, Garcia

April 4- Eagles @ Oakland

The starters today were Nixon, who is trying to have a comeback year and dinardo. Nixon threw a 12 K masterpiece shutout in an 8-0 win. The eagles are now 5-0 this season.

W-Nixon
L-Dinardo
HR-Brady 2(1,2), Crosby (2)

I'm thinking about Coloramino becoming the regular DH because fransico is struggling. Great start to the season though

Wow I just played an odd game against the Rays, I didn't know that the cpu's hitting was only on normal so I pitched an extra inning game with nixon and both him and shields went 12 innings(well nixon went 11.2). The wierd part was that nixon's condition was the worst it could be and he didn't get the elbow pains til 100 pitches, and when he did get the elbow pain, he didn't have to be taken out so he threw 11.2 innings before he got injured, he threw 121 pichers and 17 k's and O ya I won 2-1. But wow, imagine if nixon had the best condition, he'd be throwing 150 pitches. His stamina is 162 but usually with people who have the worst condition, they end up throwing like 50 pitches

And........................

Eagles send down fransisco, call up caroll
Today the Eagles sent down a struggling DH, Fransicso and brought up outfielder, Brett Caroll, whom was aquired in a trade with the marlins for Kata last year. Fransisco was batting .132 with no homers and no Rbis in 19 games. Coloramino will DH and they brought up caroll to be the 4th outfielder along with thurston, whom will see most of his time in the infield

nice start!
hope it continues into the summer months.

My offense hasn't done well and I'm in my own little hitting slump. I'm playing the yankees to see if I still got it and I lost the 1st game 1-0, won the second 11-3, and lost the third 7-5. Senreiso is struggling,8.30 ERA,zadan isnt as good with a 4.88 ERA. Griffiths is like dead, batting .238 with a homer and 5 rbis(his first homer was in the 11-3 win. Brady has 6 homers and Quentin has 5 which is a good sign. And for alcheves, he's giving up the power for average(.329). But he's the only one on the team that has a good average besides crosby(.303). And today is the final game of a 4 game series at yankees stadium. Its stone starting for me cause everyones tired, and Pavano starting for themyes that pavano. And Caroll will get a start batting last and DHing. And sparks gets another start for batting .295. He's been getting the majority of the starts lately. And we're 14-13 so we need to end the month 15-13, especially with oakland doing very well.

Eh I'm thinking about not doing this thread again, or I might not do it for awhile but anyways so far in may

< I traded Franscisco and Stone to the DBacks for hammock and 4000 points

<My team is right now in last and I dont remember its record

<My bullpen stinks right now

<And Garcia won ROTM twice, once in april then May

dude, u made this log just over a week ago and it's gotten 300 views. come on...
anyways, you should try to make a big trade before the deadline.

I'm going to have to definatly recreate my bullpen because senreso, guardado and weathers are doing bad. really bad. If I'm gonna make a comeback in the divison, I'm gonna need to do it now. But at the trade deadline' I'll try to make a big trade, I just don't know who to trade..

senreiso and griffiths.
maybe caroll, another backup.
get a bullpen arm (somebody like mark redman, who can be a long reliever and has good breaking balls) and a power hitter (maybe a poor man's Big Papi.)

I made a mistake, I traded James to the DBacks for hammock, not Fransisco so add fransisco to the trade market, and I think I won't trade griffiths because his average is up to like .280 or something and cause I need more righties in my lineup, and I could trade sparks cause hes doing well, I have good catching depth now with hammock and solano(who is also a first basemen/catcher. coloarmino could be on the trading block because he only has 3 homers, and same deal with crosby. Fruto's pretty much my starter now. If I really get desperate, I trade Zadan who has a 5.22 ERA. All of my rotation's ERA is over 5 except nixon who somehow has a 2.49 ERA.

And....

DRAFT TIME

Today the eagles draft 13 instead of 31st last season, the first drafted right fielder Umbria and pitcher Conrad. Unbria is a lefty and has E contact and E power but is only 18, and Conrad is 23 and has C stamina, D control, 91 MPH, And a lvl 3 palmball, lvl 3 cutter and a lvl 2 forkball(not bad)

nice draft.

Keep us posted on all-star selections please! Thanks!

Ok once the second ballot comes out I'll show you guys.

Breaking News: Eagles trade stewart to mets for bullpen help
Today the Eagles have traded away 2nd basemen stewart and 29 year-old maxwell, who was never in the eagles plans, to the mets for schoewenweis and matt wise. Schoewenweis has a 3.12 ERA in 14 innings and Wise has a 0.71 ERA in 12.1 IP. Stewart, who was batting .249 with 4 homers and 22 rbis, could replace castillo at second for the mets. Fruto, who is batting .355 in limited time, will take over for the eagles. There will be more moves on the way

Wow, Conrad will really help!
BTW, trade francisco, one of your pitchers, and/or coloramino for a big bat.

Eagles make make moves for pitchers
The eagles sent up the two pitchers they got and sent down proctor, who has a 5.55 ERA and Senreiso, who had an 8.31 ERA. They also swapped started wayne and minges. Wayne had a 5.55 ERA and Minges,23, will replece him(B stamina 95 MPH, Sidearm lefty). They have also called up 1st/C Robby Hammock to replce stewart on the roster

Interleauge schedule ahead:

They won 2 of 3 aginms the padres to start and up next

<Braves
<DBacks

Player on trading block- Coloramino, weathers, guardado, sparks, senreiso and maybe even griffiths. Any minor league pitchers too
