SFBL OPENING DAY 2018

 

NEW YORK BUMS AT BOSTON TEA BAGGERS

 

Adam West was 2-for-4 as his sophomore season got off to a fair start, but Boston ended up taking the victory 4-2.

 

West, the 2017 Fresh Fish Award winner, hit his first double of the season in the sixth inning, as the Bums were held to three hits--only one other player on the Bums picked up a hit, the Boston pitching dominating.

 

LAS VEGAS JOKERS AT SEATTLE FRASIERS

 

David Hunter's triple in the seventh inning was his only hit of the day in four at-bats, and it brought home a run as well as Hunter, who would later score in the inning.

 

Unfortunately, Seattle stayed one step ahead of the Jokers and hung on for a 7-6 victory. RJ Frost hit his first homerun of the season, a solo shot in the seventh inning. His 2-for-4 performance brought in two runs total, along with his one run scored.

 

MONTREAL FRITURES DE LIBERTE AT PHILADELPHIA FREEDOM

 

Edward James came up empty on this opening day, going 0-for-4. Philadelphia needed two runs in the bottom of the eighth to beat Montreal, but they did it nonetheless, hanging on for a 3-2 victory on the first day of the season.

 

LOS ANGELES GLORY HOLES AT PHOENIX ASHES

 

Austin Sly saw mostly walks on this day, only getting two official at-bats and getting a hit in one of those, but the real story was that he received three walks during the course of the game, eventually scoring on one of those walks. Phoenix came back in the bottom of the ninth to tie the game at 3-all, but Los Angeles pulled away in the very next half inning, picking up a run and winning 4-3 in extra innings.

 

Rolf Dreikugeln was on the mound when the winning run scored for the Glory Holes, and was credited with the loss in the game.

 

DENVER DOUCHEBAGS AT CHICAGO TRANSIT AUTHORITY

 

After making many improvements in the offseason, including the acquiring of Logan Caldwell and Eric LeBeau, Chicago took the field as a team destined for a return to the SFBL Championship against the Denver Douchebags.

 

Paco Fernandez didn't seem too affected by the loss of his position to Logan Caldwell at third base, as his first game as a designated hitter was mildly successful. His only hit in the game was a double in the seventh inning, but Paco would score later in the inning for his second scored run of the game. Logan Caldwell, on the other hand, ended up hitless in four at-bats, batting right behind Paco. Francisco Parisi's two doubles as a part of a 4-for-4 day resulted in three RBI, and Waverly Whaley added another RBI as the Transit Authority beat Denver 4-2.

 

OKLAHOMA TWISTERS AT BALTIMORE CRIME SPREE

 

Baltimore, who has fallen into a huge rut as a team in the past few seasons, doesn't look like they're going to be able to change much in the near future.

 

With Marvin Jenkins on the mound, Oklahoma gave the Lunatic all the run support they needed as Marvin picked up a shutout and a complete game in his first start of the season. Baltimore's pitching did not fare nearly as well. Not even close, as the Twisters rolled to a 13-0 victory over the Crime Spree.

 

Timothy Marsch finished the day going 1-for-4 with a single in the third inning that brought home a run. Later in the game, Marsch would hit a sacrifice fly to bring in his second RBI of the game, as that is the total that he finished with.

 

Jenkins allowed no runs on seven hits, walking two and striking out three, as he threw sixty-five of his 117 pitches for strikes.

 

NEW ORLEANS CRUNK MACHINE AT JACKSONVILLE JACKOFFS

 

Winston Ghandi went 3-for-4, but was only able to score once as Jacksonville was dominated by the Crunk Machine by a final score of 11-2.

 

CHARLOTTE HARLOTS AT ATLANTA HANOI JANES

 

Carlos DeSantis' march towards 3000 hits and 500 homeruns began once again this year. He picked up two hits (2825 hits total), scoring twice and driving in one run on his fifth inning solo homerun (470 total), but Charlotte was able to hang on and beat Atlanta 10-9.

 

MEMPHIS EELS AT HOUSTON HORNY TOADS

 

Memphis, now with 100% more power with the addition of Robert Henderson in the offseason, beat Houston 11-5, but it was mostly without the help of Henderson, who went 1-for-5 with a run scored and one run driven in.

 

Horny Toad Patrick Hannon went 2-for-4 in his opening effort.

 

VANCOUVER VASECTOMY AT COLUMBUS PRIDE

 

In a slugfest, Jonathan Dehn was able to come to the plate six times, but only was able to get one hit to show for it. He also stole his first base of the season, as Columbus outslugged the Vasectomy 13-11.

 

KANSAS CITY REAL MCCOYS AT INDIANAPOLIS IGNITION

 

Rookie Jesse Ewiak went 1-for-3 in his Real McCoy debut, drawing a walk and scoring a run as Kansas City went on to victory over the Ignition by the score of 4-2.

Quite a pickle. Atlanta is doing well, but Gonzales isn't. I want Atlanta to win, but I would like to see Gonzales win as well.

 

Yay.

[Guest Obrechtion]

A good way to start off the season for Paco. But it all doesn't matter. Being in first place does however.

[Der Kommissar 0]

Well, it looks like Shiro's career is basically over now. Too bad. I just hope he can crawl up to the majors long enough to get 2600. Any chance of Shiro going to the Hall of Fame?

[Guest Evolution]

At this point in Shiro's career, he can retire now and make it to the Hall of Fame, since he has at least 2,500 hits and a .300 or higher batting average.

 

If he should stick around and his batting average begins to waver, however, there could be some problems. His career batting average right now is sitting at .308, so it's in danger of dropping too far and ruining his chances for a plaque.

 

As of right now, no SFBL player is in the Hall of Fame, TSM or not. The two closest players have been Brandon Musselwhite, who finished his career with 2,360 hits and a .301 career batting average, and Sergio Santana, who finished his career with 483 career homeruns.

 

For the record, players with 3,000 hits and 500 homeruns or 2,500 hits with a .300 batting average or higher are a lock to get into the Hall of Fame. 300 wins and 600 saves for pitchers, or 250 wins with an ERA of 3.50 or lower.

[Angel_Grace_Blue 0]

Well, that means Gonzo won't make it. Unless he decides to play for like, twenty more years...

 

Tiny Gonzales will be different, though. I hope.

[hhh6294 0]

So Evo... is there any chance of Corbin getting signed to a team this season?

 

Hell... I'd settle for him being in the minors at this point.

[Guest Evolution]

So Evo... is there any chance of Corbin getting signed to a team this season?

 

Hell... I'd settle for him being in the minors at this point.

Well, he's not a very good player. He's certainly accelerating his retirement date, but if Ben Dover can get a job pitching for a team, Corbin sure has a shot. It's probably a matter of when he gets to the minors, not if.

Atlanta's Desantis out for 5 weeks

 

ATLANTA - New Jersey's Boris Pacheco drilled Atlanta's first baseman Carlos Desantis in the 4th inning. He was slow getting up and had to leave the game. Carlos will miss at least 5 weeks. Desantis was rushed to an hospital near the ballpark, where doctors took x-rays. Those revealed the serious injury to be a fractured wrist. He has hit six longballs while batting .327 this season. His 56 hits and 11 walks add up to a .376 on-base percentage. He's 10th in the North-South in batting and 7th in RBI!

 

Ann Onita (CHA) will miss 6-7 weeks

 

CHARLOTTE - Charlotte's right-hander Ann Onita suffered a severe injury on Wednesday and will be out for at least 6-7 weeks. In the fifth inning of the game against Detroit she experienced pain in her throwing arm and had to leave the game. After being examined by several specialists, the diagnosis is clear: Onita pulled her tricep muscle. Opposing players hit .229 against Ann this season. While posting an ERA of 5.43 she went 3-4 in 9 starts, fanning 26 and walking 43 hitters.

Hey Evo, what're my ratings? Cause it doesn't seem the contact and power helped me much

God dammit, I just want to get my 3000/500, get in the HOF and retire to a new player.

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

Marvin Jenkins is having a stellar year and, for now at least, the Twisters seem to be in contention, which is good!

[jesse_ewiak 0]

Doing good so far......300, looking at about 30-35 homers for the year.

And Carlos is still on pace for 3,000 hits by the end of this season. 500 homeruns won't likely be possible until next year, but it won't be long.

Patrick Hannon blisters three bombs

 

DETROIT - Hitting homeruns is one of the most difficult things in sports. To hit three of them in one game is almost sensational. Houston's third baseman Patrick Hannon accomplished that feat in a 14-12 win over Detroit. His 1st blast, a solo homerun off Theodore Alvarez in the 2nd inning, landed an estimated 373 feet from home plate. A 453 foot drive to left-center marked his 2nd bomb, a three-run homerun off Theodore Alvarez in the 3rd inning. The game was tied, 5-5, after the blast. In the 7th inning, Patrick unloaded a two-run homerun off Jim Gallinatti. Overall he collected four hits in four trips to the plate, stroking a double, scoring FOUR times with 6 RBI. JC Morello was the last player to hit three homeruns in a single game, doing it on July 19th, 2017. Houston improved its record to 29-27 with the victory, scoring 14 runs on 11 hits.

Okay, time to lay down the bets: How many of these guys will actually be played?

 

Well, according to the starting lineups, the game actually appears to be helping the TSM players get some time in the sun in the All-Star Game.

 

East-West All-Stars

 

CF Nat Mortensen

DH John Tripp

RF Jose Etenza

3B Edward James

SS Robert Gennari

LF Abel Ortiz

C Eduardo Lizana

2B Chris Britt

1B RJ Frost

 

Starting Pitcher: Bill Cobos

 

Okay, so Marvin Jenkins has a lower ERA, but that's okay, don't even bother to play him in this game. Austin Sly will likely see some time in some shape or form.

 

North-South All-Stars

 

2B Neall Isaacson

SS Lloyd Bazley

1B Robert Henderson

DH Fernando Ornelas

LF John Scherfenberg

3B Patrick Hannon

CF Matthew Laduke

RF Bill Anschitz

C David Zearge

 

Starting Pitcher: Claudio Galaviz

 

I don't see Ewiak getting any playing time, but Dehn could make a very good pinch runner should the situation call for one in the late innings of the game.

 

Coming up later...the recap of the game itself!

[Sly 0]

I sunk back to average-it-tude... but still made the All Star Game. Yay me!

 

LA slipped out of first in the division though... what's up with that trade, btw?

[KingPK 0]

Go away for a few days, and you get thrown back east 3,000 miles. LA got some good value for the 4th pitcher in the rotation, though. I guess my salary was one of the reasons for this.

The Kostka trade was completely out of my control, if that isn't obvious.

 

2018 SFBL ALL-STAR GAME

 

Once again, Marvin Jenkins was selected to an All-Star Game and did not see any playing time. Fortunately, the East-West All-Stars did not have to regret this decision.

 

It was the North-South pitching that could not hold up against the East-West offense. The North-South had a 6-0 lead at one point, but the game was eventually tied at 8-8 until the bottom of the ninth, when Robert Herring finally capped off the huge comeback with a two-run homerun with one out in the inning, winning the game for the East-West by a score of 10-8.

 

Robert Henderson went 2-for-2 with 2 RBI and a walk drawn in the game. One of his two hits was a triple in the third inning that scored one run to make the score 2-0. Jesse Ewiak would later come into the game after Henderson left for pinch hitter Michael Maley, but Ewiak would strike out in his only at-bat of the game. Jonathan Dehn pinch-hit for John Scherfenberg and had great success, hitting a double to lead off the seventh inning. Dehn would score later in the inning, representing the final run that the North-South All-Stars would score in the game, leading 8-3 at that point. Patrick Hannon went 0-for-3, but did reach base after being hit by a pitch. He would later score.

 

As for the East-West, Edward James finished the night going 1-for-3 with one run scored after he hit a double in the fourth inning with one out. Austin Sly was a defensive replacement for Eddie Lizana late in the game, but was issued a walk in his only at-bat of the game. RJ Frost went 1-for-4, also hitting a double, this one in the fourth inning with no one on and one out. He, too, would score later in the inning.

 

Of all the TSM players selected to the Game, only Marvin Jenkins did not play, continuing his bad luck with the All-Star Game and his utter lack of playing time.

 

NORTH-SOUTH ALL-STARS 8, EAST-WEST ALL-STARS 10

 

WP - Luciano Rovira

LP - Rafael Calderon

Time of Game: 4 hours, 4 minutes

All-Star Game MVP: Robert Gennari (3-for-4, 3 R, 4 RBI, BB, SB, three-run homerun in seventh inning)

P Raimundo Garcia

 

No other TSM players are currently on the trading block that haven't already been traded.

Considering that LeBeau was traded from a legit wildcard contender to two consecutive crappy teams, I get the feeling that he will want a third trade before the end of the deadline.

 

Otherwise, I see no reason for the others who were traded to get bent out of shape. Perhaps Kostka would like to move on to other pastures as well.

 

Anyway, point is, if anyone wants a trade before the deadline and the home stretch, speak now or be stuck with that team until 2019.

 

Oh, and here are the players who are in negotiations for a contract extension:

 

Ben Dover (wants $920,000 per year for 2 years)

Logan Caldwell (wants $5,200,000 per year for 3 years)

RJ Frost (wants $5,250,000 per year for 3 years)

Giant Gonzales (wants $900,000 per year for 1 year)

Ann Onita (open to any offer from the Harlots)

Mike Van Siclen (is in his prime and would like to test the market, but can still entertain an offer from the Crunk Machine)
