Brandon Markusen [[IN MAJORS!!]]

You strike him out swinging. IN the third inning Sittch comes up again this time with runners on 1st and 2nd.
What do you Do?
A) Intentionally Walk Him
B)Pitch to Him
C) Pitch Around Him

C

You wipe the sweat off your brow... you know how big this out is....

First pitch, you throw the Knuckler.... LOW AND OUTSIDE!
Second pitch you come in with the high heat.... STIKE SWINGING
Third pitch you go back to the unpredicatable Knuckler.... BALL IN THE DIRT!
Fourth pitch you decide to go to the slider.... Insinde on the Knees! (Im assuming Sittch is a righty)

You step back... 3-1 count.... still got those guys on 1st and 2nd... what do you do?

A) Walk him to load the bases and take your chance
B) Throw another slider
C) Try your luck with another Knuckler
D) Go back to the high inside fastball

C

You take a breath.... and heave in the Kunckler, with it dancing all over the place anything is possible. Sittch swings for it and...... DOUBLE PLAY BALL! hit right to the second baseman, routing play, man on 3rd and two outs! You easily get the last out and work through into the 7th innings. Final line: 6.2 IP, 1 ER, 5K, 1BB, Win.

August Week 1 (Game week)

(Ill post game info in a bit, hang tight!)

I'm ready!

Burgers vs. Wild Jokers.
AA Championship Tune-Up Game, basically.

The game starts, and it seems to be an easy outing.
In the bottom of the 5th, though, Jonathan steps up with a runner on second.
He scowls, and mutters something under his breath. All you can make out is the word "mother."
You're not too awfully tired, but a hit here would cut your lead to 2-1.
We won't even talk about a homer.
Anyways, what do you do?

A: Paint the corners
B: Brushback Pitch (NOBODY TALKS ABOUT MY MOTHER!)
C: Knuckler right near the middle

C

He takes a big cut... and misses!
You decide to throw the same thing again, and AGAIN he misses, nearly hitting the umpire!
What was that saying again? Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice...

The count is 0-2, what do you do?

A: One more KN down the heart of the plate
B: Back Door Slider
C: Knuckler down low, try to make him chase it.

C

Johnathan digs deep for it... and connects!
It's a fly ball to right field that's easily caught for an out (I forgot, there was already one out).
The runner on second tries to advance... and gets caught in a rundown for an inning ending double-play!
You end up going six strong, but the bullpen blows it in extra innings.
Still, it's not the championship, and you pitched a quality start easily, not allowing a run and only 3 hits.

Rest.

You dream about Jonathan and what he might have said about your mother. No Zinedane Zidane moment/headbutt though.
You just figure it's part of his personality (Which it is, but still...)

You jog and jog and jog until you reach back home again, a cool 6 mile jog accomplished.

Upgrade KN to Lv 3 and learn Slow Curve.

Practice Breaking Ball.

August, Week 4 now.
sorry.

National Breaking Ball Week! Well, according to you, anyways. You get your knuckleball past R.A. Dickey's standards and learn a slow curve, the choice curve of Mark Mulder and Joba Chamberlain! Then you just practice them.

Go to shop, buy Shiny Fragrance, use it, then rest.

You buy some Shiny Fragrance to impress the scout's. Because nothing says "I'm manly and I belong in AAA" like perfume. You get tired out after Nat'l BB Week and perfume shopping, though, and you decide to rest up for the big game.
