    Boy, Reed and Pressly have been pretty bad at keeping these small leads alive. Maybe we need to get some young guns like Busenitz up to spell them more frequently and try using Rodney in the 7th and 8th innings.

    Strat-O-Matic Report Bottom of the 7th Kepler walks. Grossman strikes out looking. LaMarre doubles, Kepler to 3rd. -- Pinch-Hit: Garver hits for Wilson -- Garver pops out. Dozier singles, both runners score (10-3) -- Tyler Olson now pitching -- Rosario doubles, Dozier to 3rd. Sano strikes out. Well, at least it's a 7 run game now.
  3. Danchat
    Sano's strikeout problems are annoying but I think the Twins are a better team with him. Adrianza is an everyday starter with Sano hurt with Grossman DH'ing with Mauer out.

    Strat-O-Matic Report - Top of the 7th (Duffey still pitching) Allen grounds out to SS. Zimmer grounds out to 2B. Gonzalez HRs (8-1). Lindor singles. Lindor steals 2B. Brantley triples, Lindor scores (9-1). Ramirez is errored to 1B (Morrison throwing error), Brantley scores (10-1). Encarnacion grounds out to 1B. Bleh. Maybe Strat-O-Matic baseball against the Indians was a mistake. Cleveland's up 10-1 now.

    I found it on Baseball Reference (look at Pressly's splits): Within 2 Runs: .276/.338/.430 (.768 OPS) Within 1 Run: ..287/.361/.468 (.828 OPS) Yes, he is noticeably worse with a small lead.

    Strat-O-Matic Report - Bottom of the 6th Rosario strikes out. Sano strikes out. Morrison doubles to right. Escobar strikes out. (Cleveland leads 7-1.)
  7. Danchat
    Let's take a look at the splits: With RISP, batters hit .746 OPS (.744 OPS with men on) against Pressly compared to a career .697 OPS.

    LaMarre's starting to hit the ball a lot better the past few days... I like having him out there over Grossman, both for his defense and bat.

    Strat-O-Matic Report - Top of the 6th Gonzalez grounds out. Lindor doubles. -- Taylor Rogers now pitching -- Brantley doubles, Lindor scores (6-1). Ramirez strikes out. Encarnacion singles, Brantley to 3rd. Kipnis doubles, Branley scores, Encarnacion to 3rd (7-1). -- Tyler Duffey pitching -- Gomes strikes out. Yikes... we're down 7-1 and the real team is losing too. Ugh.
  10. Danchat
    Well that went about as poorly as possible.
  11. Danchat
    Strat-O-Matic Report - Bottom of the 5th LaMarre lines out. Wilson lines out. Dozier grounds out to short.
  12. Danchat
    Strat-O-Matic Report - Top of the 5th Brantley doubles. Ramirez singles, Brantley to 3rd. Ramirez steals 2B. Encarnacion grounds out, runners hold. Kipnis walks, based loaded. -- Matt Magill now pitching -- Gomes doubles, Branley and Ramirez score (5-1). Allen grounds out, runners hold. Zimmer grounds out to short. Yikes, the Twins trail 5-1 here. Unfortunately, Magill could not prevent runs from scoring, but he did get those two outs at the end. Things aren't looking so good over here in Strat-O-Land.

    Strat-O-Matic Report - Bottom of the 4th Morrison strikes out. Escobar strikes out. Kepler doubles to left. Grossman strikes out. CLE leads 3-1.
  14. Danchat
    Strat-O-Matic Report - Top of the 4th Kipnis doubles to left center. Gomes HRs, Kipnis scores (CLE 3-1). Allen strikes out. Zimmer strikes out. Gonzalez walks. Lindor pops out to SS. Cleveland leads 3-1... Gibson is doing much better in real life.
  15. Danchat
    I'm the manager of both teams, so I will try to keep things as realistic as possible. Unless a pitcher is struggling, I'll keep them going until somewhere in the 3rd time facing the lineup where that 100 pitch limit is hit. Of course, if you play this game with no intent for maintaining realism and just winning, you can do something like have Johan Santana pitch 9 innings very time out because he's just that good.

    Strat-O-Matic Report - Bottom of the 3rd Dozier singles to left. Rosario strikes out looking. Sano grounds into a double play. (Game still tied 1-1)
  17. Danchat
    Strat-O-Matic Report - Top of the 3rd Lindor grounds out. Brantley strikes out. Ramirez doubles to left. Encarnacion flies out to center.
  18. Danchat
    Strat-O-Matic Report - Bottom of the 2nd Morrison flies out to deep center. Escobar strikes out. Kepler doubles. Grossman reaches 1st on error by 1B Alonso, Kepler to 3rd. LaMarre singles, Kepler scores, Grossman to 2nd (1-1). Wilson strikes out. The Strat-O-Matic game is tied at 1-1.
  19. Danchat
    That's 4 great PAs in a row for the Twins, and now Rosario's up. This is the offense I was expecting from the Twins this season.
  20. Danchat
    Fangraphs told me that Zimmer was one of the defensive CFs in baseball... and I definitely believe that now.
  21. Danchat
    Strat-O-Matic Report - Top of the 2nd Encarnacion singles. Kipnis triples, Encarnacion scores (1-0). Gomes lines out to 2B. Allen grounds out to 1B, runner holds. Zimmer walks. Gonzalez flies out to RF. CLE is up 1-0 at the moment.
  22. Danchat
    Strat-O-Matic Report - Bottom of the 1st Dozier grounds out to 3rd. Rosario grounds out to SS. Sano strikes out. Boy, that sure is boring compared to the Eddie offensive explosion we just got. Oh, and by the way - Escobar is now tied for the most doubles in baseball with Lindor, Pillar, and J. Abreu.
  23. Danchat
    Man, Rosario is so good... he can turn pitches way off the plate into HRs like that. He's playing like an All-Star right now.
  24. Danchat
    Alright, here comes our first Strat-O-Matic update: Top of the 1st: Lindor flies out to center. Brantley strikes out looking. Ramirez strikes out looking.
  25. Danchat
    That's definitely something I noticed when compiling the stats for this game, the Indians are far better base runners than the Twins. With Buxton hurt, there's basically nobody on the team who can reliably steal bases.
