Crusaders Back Into First Place

Over the first 10 days of June, the Crusaders enjoyed a 6-4 sim that very well could have been 7-3 or 8-2 if Millsy didn't cheat and give Jackson a 3 game sweep with a pair of 1-run victories.

Anyway, we started off with a 10-4 beatdown of Birmingham backed that up with a 14-6 thrashing, and completed the sweep with a 3-1 victory in 12 innings. After that was the totally out of nowhere but completely on the up-and-up sweep at the hands of Jackson - in California, no less.

Whatever, putting that behind us, we took a trip down the I-5 and visited the Quakes for a 4 game set to end the sim. Things actually looked a little bleak after we dropped the first game 9-2 and had dropped four in a row at that point, but then the bats woke up and we tore off 7-5, 11-2, and 6-2 wins to finish off the sim.

The good news is that the Flash In The Pans had a subpar 3-7 sim, bringing us back into a tie for first place in the MBBA Pacific. Suck it, p4fvnuhf15 (what is this, ****ing AIM? Pick a goddamn name and use it!)

Ken McKain is still pitching well, Lindsay Blackley is a hell of a surprise, and Jorge[/b] seems to be returning to form - he tossed a complete game against LA his last time out and has a 50:8 K:BB this year.

The offense is still playing well, and we lead the league in runs scored (364) and OBP (.359), mostly due to Forest - though an off sim saw his OPS drop below 1.000 :jamest:

Down on the farm, the team has started the process of converting #1 prospect Robinson Leyva from second base to third. The 24 year old with 4/3/4/4/3 talents and currently 6/6/4/4/5 ratings overall will likely spend the rest of the 2012 season getting the hang of the hot corner and will be groomed to take over as soon as Opening Day, 2013. Along with Leyva, starting pitcher Fei Shui and his 3/4/3 talents will also be getting an extended look as possible 2013 starters.
