Season

April-
I was called from the bullpen, to the roar of applause from the packed crowd, stuffed into the newly built Nationals Stadium. I pitched bad. Ratching 2 K then I gave up my first hit, a HR. Curse you Matt Diaz! 3 IP (Relief), 2 H, 5 K, 1 HR. Not Good at all. The next five starts were really bad, our starters seemed to get out in the 2nd or 3rd inning. I came on against the Phillies, relief again . Only to pitch 1.2 innings. I also got 2 K. No Earned. Turns out, the manager loved it and now I am a starter! My First Major leauge start came against the Marlins, I pitched very risky baseball. Aiming for corners and trying to make my CHG drop off the table. All of a sudden, Dan EWgla jacks a huge home run on a CHG that floated right onto his bat. 6 IP, 5 H, 9 K, 1 HR. But I got the W. My First W, a stat that is going to be difficult to come by this season. My second start was against the Braves. I was money in the bank; 6 IP, 1 H, 11 K, 1 BB. Mia came over for an interview asking how it felt to start the season 2-0, I was about to give her a good Headline when she rushed away. Probably mistook me for a fielder again, Jerk. I'm currently tied for fourth with John Smoltz in the Strikeout race. I was also named player of the week, for having 2 W, .75 ERA, and 20 K. We play Florida again, who is leading the NL East because of its studly hitting. I pitch a 4 Hit gem of a Complete game. With 14 K!!!! Scouts are calling me a young U. Jimenez with 5 star potential. I don't care about the team. I care about the stats. Sadly I couldn't reclaim POTW because Freel batted .462 with 5 HR and 10 RBI. Go figure. Today I am playing against the Mets, Johan Santana is the rival pitcher. I was heading for a complete game shutout, when our stupid Manager took me out to put in Cordero. I had 16 K and 2 H for 8 1/3 IP. Oh and by the way, Cordero blew the save. My care for the team dropped even more, didn't I mention that I hate this team! I wouldn't mind getting traded. We play at home against the Braves, I struck out the first 3 batters with only 9 Pitches. Some sort of feat, from what I hear. John Smoltz got the first Hit. So when he was up 2 or so Innings later I hit him with a CHCB. It turned into my one of my worst outings of the year, 7 1/3 IP, 4 H, 12 K, 1 Unearned piece of sh t Wild Pitch which led to the only run of the game. But other than that it was a good month for me.


Rookie of the month, 36.1 consecutive No-Runs, 3rd in IP with 41.1, 1st in K with 69 K, 2nd in ERA, 3rd in GO/AO, 1st K/BB, 2nd in QS.
Our team, however, 12-16, 4th in NL East, 10th in NL, 20th in Majors.

Point of Interest: The Reds are 29-0 only allowing 18 Runs while putting out 196 runs! As a team they have 54 HR, 40 SB, and 312 H. They also pitched back to back Perfect games. Wow.

Notes: I capitalize a lot of stuff. It comes from taking German.
I like Stats.
K=SO, not Strike.
Shuuto was attained in Success mode when Marvin asked if I wanted to go to a game, where I stood still predicting the spin of the ball.

Shuuto, like shuuto spin?

yep, pretty sure it is the only ability with shuuto in it.

can you also not type too big? takes up a whole lot more room then if you typed normally.

Even though Shuuto Spin is a red ability, I like it.

I never tried Shuuto Spin before...

I like Hot Head and I consider it to be a Neutral Ability.

I hate Poker Face and consider it to be a Red Ability.

Shuuto Spin lowers top speed available, and gives batters a boost to contact spot.

Hot Head worsens control and sucks up stamina after giving up walks/hits/runs.

Poker Face hides the ability to see when the pitcher is tired, forcing you to use a fixed pitch count or watch the slow decline in control (easy to see in expert... when the accuracy indicator starts moving quickly).

My intimidator, and Dr. K is starting to go up. I'll also try to to a month or so, 5 games, a night. They don't take that long and I just write my rough draft on a notebook. Do you like the log so far?

I didn't know that it used up more stamina...

Well at least the breaking balls still break and the pitches don't slow down.
