File and pages are up. Next sim is Wednesday evening, an 8-day sim to get us to 10/1/1975; get your exports in by 8:00 PM Eastern.
The Waiver Trade Deadline is at the end of the regular season; the players will need to have cleared waivers by now. (I still have Upshaw available!)
I guess that's like the State Department promoting the Winter White House, ugh.
Breaking News
Tuesday 9/20/1975: Paul Splittorff out for 6 weeks
TEXAS - When it rains, it pours. Texas' left-hander Paul Splittorff will not pitch for at least 6 weeks, handing the team a huge setback. He suffered a serious injury in a game against Chicago (A) where he left the field in the 4th inning. Doctors examined him after the game and diagnosed a Bone Chips Shoulder which will require surgery. His ERA of 5.69 helped him to a 3-4 record this year. He struck out 13 and walked 27 in 49 innings.
Monday 9/19/1975: Player of the Week honors go to Osugi and Herrera
Chicago (A)'s first baseman Katsuo Osugi had some reason to celebrate, as the league named him the American League Player of the Week. Osugi helped his team with an average of .524 and 7 RBI in 21 at bats. Osugi has hit for a .248 average this season. He has 51 extra base hits along with 249 total bases, resulting in a .479 slugging percentage. Jose C. Herrera from Atlanta wins his 2nd Player of the Week award for putting up the best numbers this week in the National League. In 19 at bats he hit .474 with 2 HR and 5 RBI. He hit in every game this week and extended his hitting streak to 7 games.
Saturday 9/17/1975: Jerry Reuss dominates Cleveland, gives up just 2 hits
CLEVELAND - Milwaukee's lefty Jerry Reuss is a great pitcher. And he once again showed his stuff, blanking Cleveland on just 2 hits. It's his 1st shutout this season, and the 2nd time he has done it in his career. 'Today I just felt fine. I had a good feeling while warming up.' Reuss (12-12) fanned 5 and walked 2, throwing 131 pitches. Milwaukee's centerfielder Johnny Lewis finished 2 for 3, hitting a homerun. That was enough to support the brilliant performance of Reuss. Milwaukee improved its record to 85-62, scoring 2 runs on 5 hits.
Friday 9/16/1975: Don Drysdale shuts out Philadelphia on one hit
CINCINNATI - Cincinnati's right-hander Don Drysdale is clearly one of the best pitchers in the game. Philadelphia found out the hard way, getting just one hit. Drysdale 7th shutout this season was a masterpiece, as he was almost untouchable. He has now hurled 103rd shutouts in his career. 'I was hitting my spots. Now I'll start concentrating on my next start, and hopefully it will work again.' Drysdale (19-8) struck out 5 and issued 2 BB, throwing 57 of 98 pitches for strikes. Cincinnati's centerfielder Cesar Cedeno went 1 for 3, blasting a homerun. That was enough to support the brilliant performance of Drysdale. Cincinnati scored 3 runs on 5 hits.
