We open 2012 with a loss. Troy SP Jacob Taylor held us in check through 8 innings and left with a 2-0 lead. He didn't get the win, however, as 2B Arnold Bennett tied the game for us with a 2-run HR in the 9th with 1 out. Trojan PH Brenton Kimbell untied it with a home run of his own in the bottom of the inning.

This will be my third (and hopefully last) year managing in the Low Minors. Our GM has been busy in the off-season as our team looks quite different. Our offense looks to be improved and we have a ton of depth in the infield. Last year I had trouble finding anyone who could hit and play SS decently. Should be easier this year. Our pitching is probably worse and it's very left-handed. Our rotation will start the season with 3 lefties and 1 righty, while our bullpen is evenly split: 4 of each....

I like mostly Text based, but if you have a great concept that is fairly graphic based I am open to anything that would look great...dont...

2011 was my second year managing in the low minors. It was mostly a step back. Although our team scored 34 more runs and allowed 14 fewer than in 2010, we only managed to go 44-56 (both halves combined), compared to 49-51 last year. Our performance in the 2nd half of 2011 was especially abysmal (18-32). And I received a score of 20 for the season (compared to 39 in 2010). We went 12-25 in 1-run games, which explains a lot about our struggles. We lost a quarter of our games played by 1 run!...
