Jul 28 2072: Dunwoody snaps Ogata's 32 game hitting streek - by electriceel883 on January 25th, 2026All-Star SaburÅ Ogata was rolling until he got "Death by Luis" today in a 3-0 loss. Luis Gamboa struck him out twice in three matchups, and Luis Olivera got him to pop up. Since May 2, when he was hitting .225, (including Cup) he had hit in 51 of last 57 games, additionally with 10 HR in his last 25 games.
Mar 16 2072: Jorge Zapata Appreciation Day - by electriceel883 on December 19th, 2025
The Straw Hat, a hardworking SS who logged more than a decade with us after joining us from the 2059 draft, like the Mayor before him, has stepped down to create a spot for the good of the Infernos. Possessing the most basic hitting tools, he worked night and day on his offence and in over 500 games he sported an OPS of .784, swiped nearly 150 bases at a rate of 73% and was a flawless fielder who booted only 38 balls in over 450 games and SS and the rest at 2B. He hit .273 or better in 7 different seasons with two over .300. Our straw hats are off to you, Jorge Zapata, never has an Inferno done more with less to work with than you.
Oct 13 2071: One of the ugliest games I have seen - by electriceel883 on November 28th, 2025
https://brokenbat.org/game/5854753
3-2 when Estalella tied it in the bottom of the 9th. 7 guys reach safely for Midland in the 11th and they take a 7-3 lead. Just 5 Infernos reach safely in the bottom half but 3 are extra base hits that tie it at 7. 15th inning, 3 singles by midland, and rbi on a HBP and a sac fly and they lead 10-7. 5 more Infernos reach safely the bottom half and the deciding runs in the 12-10 match score on a 2 out outfield error. Despite 64 AB batted less than .300 for the game and again, despite the timeliness of some of them, left a whole lot of men on base
Sep 10 2071: Ogata Homers in Three Consecuctive AB - by electriceel883 on November 20th, 2025
He had a 3 HR game in a 5-0 win against Twin Falls, providing most of the offense, joining Estalella in the 3 homers in a game club. This is great for him, as hes cost us games with his tortuous struggles to learn the 3B position. He's been worse than any of the others such as Kawanaka, Estalella and Lorenzo who also had to learn 3B on the fly.
Aug 31 2071: Hail To The Chief - by electriceel883 on November 18th, 2025
Mr. President, pitching leader for the Infernos, retires to much fanfare. Franchise leader in wins, strikeouts, and 5 Cy Young's, and other categories, he did his best to fulfill his anointing by Tamale when drafted - "he has no weaknesses! he'll be a Top 10 Pitcher in Broken Bat!". He was good enough to be on Team USA on several occasions. So this, his 25th hour, he actually exceeded last years wins 10-9, was among the league leaders in IP at his retirement, and while his ERA was the highest of his career at 4.72, at this point he was throwing Dizzy Deans junkball.
