Brandon Markusen [[IN MAJORS!!]]

GalaxySharks @ GuavaStrawberrys

You are the starting pitcher for today's game against the GalaxySharks. You seem to be cruising until Gil and Mako hit back-to-back doubles in the 6th inning. You are still winning 2-1, but the lead is in jeopardy. It's a full count to the #5 batter. What will you do?

A) Blow a fastball by him.
B) Fool him with one of your slow pitches.
C) Try a backdoor slider.

B

It works, as he hits a harmless grounder to the second baseman. You go 8 strong, K'ing 9, walikng 3, and giving up 2 runs, on a double and a home run by Gil. Matt Bell, the closer, hit a pinch-hit walk-off home run to give the GuavaStrawberrys the win, 3-2.

GuavaStrawberrys @ Gigantes

It is the bottom of the 5th inning, but you've had to throw a lot of pitches. You are very tired, and with two outs, the manager comes out for a visit. He says,

The GuavaStrawberrys Manager wrote:

Brandon, we realize you are kinda tired, but we don't wanna dip into our bullpen this early. Do you think you can finish this inning?"

A) Yes, coach. I can do it!
B) Sorry, coach, but i'm just waaaay too tired to go anymore.

Morgan is on second after a leadoff double, but you struck out the 2 batters after that.

A

"OK, that's the spirit! Now get this guy out and strand that guy at second!!"

How will you approach this guy?

A) Overpower him
B) Nibble around the corners
C) Pitch to contact

B

You get him to ground out to first base. You feel good enough to get one out next inning, but the coach pulls you after that. You had 5 1/3 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 5 K, and 2 BB.

Rest.

You had sweet dreams, knowing that you will make it into the majors. Unless of an injury... But resting prevents injury, so your dreams are pleasant again

Practice Control.

If I beat the Galaxy Sharks in the final Gil game, will I get the Sittch game, too?

No, you will face the GoldenApples in the Championship Game. They will still have Sittch on their team.

Control is the main part of not walking people.

GalaxySharks @ GuavaStrawberrys


You are perfect through 6, but trouble looms ahead in the form of Gil. You have made it 3-2. What will you do to try and get Gil out?

A) Throw some heat past him
B) Fool him with a slow breaker
C) Try to catch him looking with a backdoor slider
D) Walk him and try to face a less dangerous hitter

B.

GalaxySharks @ GuavaStrawberrys


Unfortunately for you, Gil knew a breaking ball was coming, and he lined one into center field for a single. You were able to get the next guy out. You are able to make it to the ninth inning. It is 1-0 after a home run by Raspberry. There are runners on 1st and 2nd. Mako is up. There are 2 outs. How will you approach him?

1) Overpower him.
2) Catch him off balance.
3) Pitch to contact.
