NL 322 Maybe I am missing something in my settings but I dont understand how a
guy like Paulino can give up 3 runs in one game in which he pithed one inning
in Scoresheet when he pitched one 7 inning game and gave up only 3 hits and 1
earned run in real baseball especially when the opponents hit .239 for the week.
Perhaps you can offer me some insight on this team regarding a better lineup or
better use of hook #s based on the team makeup and your experiences that would
maximize the results of this team in games in Scoresheet

Thanks Carl

got lit up. Hmm.. but its still bottom of 8th inning and Hamels is still in
pitching ahead 3-2 and now all my better gloves in IROD, Matusi come in for
defensive purposes. Time for my closer Mike Gonzalez to come in. He pitched 3
innings this week in real baseball striking out six and not allowing a hit or
walk...But huh??? here comes Chris Perez my # 2 guy out of pen vs RHP. Denys
Reyes is # 2 vs LHP...OK.. Its Closing time right? Where the bonk is Mike
Gonzalez? Not Chris Perez. So what happens in top of ninth in closing
situation non-closer comes in and give up 2 runs. And then. but not until then,
in comes Gonzalez with two outs in top of ninth to get final out (1/3rd inning)
after Perez blew lead. Well that bites in Game One.

my # 1 listed pitcher, plus he has already pitched 8 2/3rds in game # 1. H did
pitch twice the previous week though pitching 14 innings ang only giving up 4
total earned runs. But Josh Johnson alos pitched twice previous week and is
listed higher in rotation. Johnson gave up 4 runs in 16 innings in two starts.
But what the hey? Its top of 7th and Hamels already given up 6 runs and he
give up 3 mor making it nine bebleeping runs. Where my RPers and how has Hamels
givenup mor u runs in this one game that he gave up in three games of 18.2 IP
over past 3 weeks. Especially considering team Opponents as per Scoresheet hit
.239. But now whats this ? In bottom of 7th here comes my closer ?? and we are
down 9-6. Why is my closer coming into this game?

Imagien my surprise (and anothe hair lost) when my .239 batting average
opponents immediately score three runs off Paulino.

runs by middle of fifth inning to .239 hitting opponents coming out with bases
loaded only for Leo Nunez to get lit up for four runs. Probably reaqlsitic in
that Nunez gave up 3 earned runs in one Inning in real basball (Stinks but that
is what is was) . So what . Why is Mike Gonzalez pitchign in 7th inning again in
a non closer situation? behidn 7-1. Sigh. This time Paulino comess in
meaningless game and gets two innings of six-up-six-down after givng up e 3 runs
in previous game. Now Down 2-3 vs .239 hitting adn 6.50 era pitching opponents
