MLB: Bayside Stories - an 09 San Francisco Giants Dynasty

[Mit]

Nice win, Cain was crazy, never knew McPherson was a cArd

Cain has been really good this year. He's 3-0 so far with an ERA under 1.00. McPherson is on the Giants. He is really doing well and he's been starting at 2B. I think I might need to get a C though because Bengie Molina is really struggling, as he is only hitting .200 or so. Got any ideas on cheap, mediocre catchers?

Update soon.

I like that little Baseball Tonight style update there.

Thanks man. I'll probably pull it out here and there.

Haha, especially if you get lazy cause you don't have to have a big write-up and all the stats. :tongue:

That's exactly why I like it. Haha. It looks pretty clean, too, so it's real easy to read.

 

[Woy]

Haha exactly. When's the next update?

 

[Mit]

Haha exactly. When's the next update?

It was just gonna be the pitching matchups for the next series, which is against the D-Backs.

 

[Woy]

Alright. I can't remember in who's 'chise but when they played Arizona, they caught them on their 3-4-5 starters so they avoided Webb and Haren luckily.

I actually had that happen in my Giants franchise in MLB '09 which is good cause they both kicked my ass in a previous series with the D-bags..backs.

Avoiding Webb and Haren, nice.

 

[Mit]

Avoiding Webb and Haren, nice.

Yeah. Haha. Good thing, too. If I faced Webb and/or Haren, those would probably be two definite losses. My offense has not done that great, so.

Bengie Molina has been a disappointment thus far for the San Francisco Giants. He was supposed to be a large part of the Giants hitting, but he hasn't shown up. Molina is hitting a dismal .209 with 0 HR and 3 RBI's so far.

The Giants have been looking at other catchers because they do not have any decent backups. The best backup is Eli Whiteside, who is at best a AAA catcher.

The Giants have been shopping mid-level prospects like Nick Noonan and AAA 2nd Baseman Kevin Frandsen for another catcher. The Giants have been interested in Yankees catcher, Jose Molina, Braves catcher, David Ross, and John Buck on the Kansas City Royals.

Bengie expressed his discontent about the Giants looking for another catcher. "I'm old. What the [expletive] do you expect? I am trying my best, but it's still early in the season. You can't take away my starting job after 13 games."

wow, Molina is scuffling....lol @ a ball player calling himself old

He's right though, 13 games is too quick to judge

I just read back and saw Tim pitched 11 innings.......amazing

Haha. Yeah, man. He's an old catcher and age takes a toll on performance, especially on the catchers' performance. 13 games is pretty quick, but if he does not produce soon, then I might have to make some moves.

I know, man. Linecum was killing in that game. I just decided to keep him in the game.

lovin the updates, keep it up

Thanks a lot, man. Good to see you are following, now.

Nice win, Sanchez pitched well.

 

[Mit]

nice catch and nice win

Thanks, man. I was surprised I caught it. I was like screaming that I caught that. lol. Sometimes, you get too much into the game.

Nice win, Sanchez pitched well.

Thanks, man. Sanchez looked real good in this start. My rotation minus Randy has looked pretty good thus far. I'm hoping to keep this up.
