Player Of The Game:

Brandon Inge

Inge was clutch with runners in scoring position today, with a homer and 5 RBI's on 2 base hits.

[Justo]

at least Adam Eaton sucks in this chise too lol.

[mfbmike]

haha, yeah. I busted it open early on with him on the mound. That game was rediculous. Only 2nd time this season I've gotten to double digits in runs iirc.

FUCK! I need a day off. The game is making me rest like 4 of my players for game 3.

The next game is the last game of the month of May btw.

[Justo]

they seriously need to adjust the stamina thing lol.

[Miggy]

Another HR for Miggy! Miggy

[goDawgs1433]

That's what I call an offensive explosion! Movin' right along here Mike, nice work...almost 50 games in.

[chazmaniandevil]

hey what sliders do you use

[mfbmike]

hey what sliders do you use

Pretty close to default with some minor tweaks here and there (i.e. outfielder speed to 4) I average about 4 runs, 12 hits a game or so. Same for the CPU.

I don't get how there was a save opportunity. Unless I'm missing something.......

No fucking clue either lol. Bug? I just let Seay wrap it up since I was so far out in front and he was pitching well, then he ended up with a save. lol.
