August II Sim Done


Game Date:  9/1/2012

Standings:
Adams:  Brooklyn's leads Hickory by 12 games.
Zotti:  Seattle's leads over Shackamaxon and Barstow is completely ludicrous.
Signorino:  New York's lead over Maui has shrunk to two games
Wild Card:  Maui stands one game ahead of Shackamaxon and Barstow

News:
Antelope Valley's Carl Watson named Player of the Week (8/23)
For the first time ever in SDMB OOTP History, two pitchers have pitched no hitters on the same day -- Barstow's Jefferey Shuttleworth and Seattle's Christopher Hester.  It should also be noted that this is Hester's second no-hitter of the season and the FOURTH of his career.
Houston 3B Andres Velasco named Player of the Week (8/30)
Shackamaxon 2B John Grondin named Batter of the Month
Seattle's Christopher Hester named Pitcher of the Month
Brooklyn RF Juan Carillo named Rookie of the Month

Significant Injuries:
Brooklyn SP Allen Rueter tore a labrum and will miss the rest of the season.
Houston's Toby Thornton damaged an elbow ligament and won't be back until next July.
Houston's Christopher Wood is done for the year with a shoulder inflammation.
Monck's Corner's Kevin Jackson's season is over with an ulnar nerve irritation.



Milestones:
Maui's Juan Villatoro recorded both his 250th victory (only the second player to do so -- and only against 78 losses!) and his 2500th strikeout (7th player)
Barstow's Ronald Adorno reached 2000 strikeouts.
Next sim:  Next Wednesday night.

  1. Hester walked NINE guys and struck out eight more during his no-hitter. Threw 142 pitches. Under the circumstances, looks like it's time to switch to a six-man rotation and give him some more time between starts.

    I am pretty confident this is the first time anyone has thrown two no-hitters in the same season. What a fantastic year for the 35-year-old. And, he no-hit Barstow and Shackamaxon, so he did it against two good teams.
