So far so good in game 1, maybe I can steal 2 quick ones and try and win a series.
Never had a knuckleballer before so I wasn't quite sure how to use him, may take me a while to figure it out.

Jacksonville Pelicans (Truby 0-0) @ Chicago White Sox (Vazquez 0-0)- 4/9

Chicago- The White Sox lineup continued to punish the Pelicans pitching staff in this series hitting five homeruns last night on their way to a 7-5 victory.
“There is just so much power in that lineup, you can never relax for one batter. “
Power is putting it mildly. In five games this season against the Pelicans, White Sox batters have amassed eleven total homeruns; six alone from Jim Thome. And that includes game one of this series where Chicago was shut out.
Jacksonville got on the board in the third inning, after loading the bases with one out, Eric Cressend drove in a run with a SAC fly to center. The lead didn’t last long as the White Sox answered back in the bottom of the inning. With runners on second and third and one out, Jim Thome hit a soft grounder to second that allowed Juan Uribe to score from third.
Unfortunately for Jacksonville, the power barrage started. Jermaine Dye got the Chicago power party started with a solo homerun in the fourth. In the fifth, after an Orlando Cabrera infield single, Jim Thome hit a two run homerun and was followed two batters later by Paul Konerko who added a solo shot.
The Pelicans got a run back in the sixth on a Dan Johnson RBI double. Then in the eighth, after Dustin Huffman and Johnson singled, Mike Sedlacek tied the game at 5 with a three run homerun to straight away center.
The tie didn’t last long as AJ Pierzynski and Juan Uribe both hit solo homeruns in the bottom of the eighth to put Chicago up by two. Bobby Jenks closed out the game in the ninth earning his third save of this season.

Daigle demands to win! Haha, hopefully he'll get out of this early 2 game slump. Another blast by Thome!

Yeah, Thome has been a wrecking ball over 6 games. But the rest of the league so far is killing my pitching as well. In 9 games so far I have allowed 22 homeruns. That's an average of 2.44 homeruns allowed per game which, over a full season would come out to 396 homeruns allowed . That would break the current record of 239 allowed set by the 2001 Colorodo Rockies, by a stagering 157 homeruns

Needless to say I have turned down the CPU batting from All-Star to Expert till I see if homeruns allowed levels off to something a bit more realistic, I'll leave CPU batting on experst. If homeruns allowed goes the other way, I'll turn the diffaculty back up.

Pelicans make roster move

4/11: Before todays game the Pelicans sent struggling catcher Al Budzinski down to AAA St. Augustine and called up Alexander Dawley. Budzinski was the opening day starter but fell out of the coaching staffs favor after hitting just .215 and not throwing out a base runner in 6 tries.

Kansas City Royals (Soria 1-1) VS. Jacksonville Pelicans (Tollberg 0-1) - 4/11

Jacksonville- The Jacksonville Pelicans broke out of their three game losing streak in a big way last night putting a beating on division rival Kansas City 14-1.
“It’s not very often you get nights like this where you get such dominant performances from your offence and your pitching staff,” said manager Scott0530.
After loading the bases with one out in the second, the Pelicans got an RBI single from Jason Cerros , a 2 RBI single from Alexander Dawley and an RBI double from Dustin Huffman.
Cerros and Dawley would both add RBI singles in the third. After loading the bases in the fourth, Jason Cerros clubbed a grand slam, the first in club history. Kirk Orie would add to the Pelican lead in the seventh with a SAC fly RBI.
The Royals scored their only run in the eighth. John Buck doubled and moved to third on a ground out. Buck would then score when Henson booted an easy ground ball off the bat off Estaban German.
The Pelicans would strike again in the bottom of the inning, getting back-to-back solo homeruns from Eric Cressend and Dan Johnson.

Kansas City Royals (Hochevar 0-0) VS. Jacksonville Pelicans (Crabtree 1-0) - 4/12

Jacksonville- A good pitchers duel and a walk-off base hit from an unlikely source all combined to give the Pelicans a thrilling 3-2 win over the Kansas City Royals, earning their second win in a row.
The Royals would get on the board first in the fourth. After getting back to back singles from Mark Tehan and Mark Grudzielanek, Miguel Olivo punched an RBI single to right field.
The Pelicans would take the lead in the bottom of the fifth getting an RBI single from Don Henson. Henson would then have to leave the game after injuring his toe sliding into second base on a Victor Senreiso groundball. Once play resumed, Kirk Orie gave the Pelicans the lead with an RBI single.
“Henson is fine, he just stubbed his toe. He should be ready to go tomorrow.”
The Royals tied the game in top of the eighth. Mark Grudzielanek led off with a double, advanced to third on a pass ball and scored when Olivo singled to left for his second RBI of the game.
Then, in the ninth, the Pelicans loaded the bases on three straight singles. Manager Scott0530 then made a perplexing move. He pulled Lou Hong, who was in the game for Henson, in favor of David Oropesa, who has not seen game action at all this year, to pinch hit. Oropesa didn’t disappoint, driving a 2-1 change up to the left center gap for the game winning RBI single.
“I knew what I was doing,” joked Scott0530 before adding: “Oropesa is a little swing and miss at this point of his career (G3) but he can get the ball in the air (3) and has some pop (D117) so I put him in the game there just looking to get a deep fly ball.”

David DeJesus, with runners in first and third delivered, a 2 RBI double to give Kansas City the lead. The Royals would tack on another run with a Ross Gload RBI single.
