Bryant Starts Season Hot; Clubs 300th Career HR

When Mikey Bryant ended the 2020 season with 297 career home runs, everyone knew it wouldn't take him long in the 2021 season to hit 3 and reach the milestone of 300, but what they didn't know is that it would only take 3 games.  Bryant homered in both of the 2 game opening series again the 84er's to put him at 299 heading into a 3 game set in Reno on April 5th, 2021.  Luis Lopez was the starter for the Cards and a pitcher Bryant was a then 2-7 against without a HR.  After grounding out in the 1st, Bryant would a 0-1 pitch and launch it 438 feet to dead center easily clearing the CF wall for his 300th career bomb.  

Bryant becomes the 10th big leaguer to hit for 300 HR in the history of the BSA, behind Shizue Chouda who hit his 300th before the end of last season.  Though Bryant amassed 40 HR last year, through 51 games in the 2021 season he has struggled.  As of May 30th, he sits at 8 HR which puts him on pace for only 25. In the past he has heated up in the summer months, particularly August, so time will tell if can put up another great season at age 33, Jersey Shore could sure use his bat as they sit 6 games under .500.  

The only real viable candidate he can pass on the all time list this year year is George Alston who sits at 315 homers. He is active playing in AAA Lansing, but hasn't seen BSA time since 2019.  There is still a good chance that Bryant could reach the 400 HR club and beyond if he doesn't harshly regress in the next 2 years.  Even only a 30 HR season would put him would put him around 330.  The real question to be asked is if Jersey Shore will resign him after this season where he is a pending free agent.  Only a handful of parks around the league are as offensively friendly as the park in Jersey.  I really don't see the D-Bags letting him walk, but we have seen stranger things in the BSA. 

Meanwhile in the lineup, Dave Dodd and his incredibly hot start have him sitting on 184 HR at only 27 years old and he might be peaking now.  Tracking his stats should be a fun thing to do as well.

Jersey Clinches 1st Division Title; Breaks CL Record for Wins

An improbable season, an improbable break out star, business as usual for the D-Bags.  September 14th, Jersey was on the road in the middle of a 3 game series with the Vista Panthers.  After winning the first game of the series 4-2, Jersey knew that this was the first day they would have a shot at clinching the the CL Eastern division for the first time in their history.  It would take a Jersey win over Vista and a Greenville loss at Reno to clinch on that night, not probable, but what was probable this season?

Both games started at 7:05 MST and were played in the Pacific time zones.  Jersey would get the scoring started in the 2nd inning, when singles by Goyer and Perez would put runners on the corners with one out.  A RBI single by 3B Adam Morrow would score Goyer and back to back wild pitches from Michael Hoffmeyer would bring in Perez making it 2-0 Bags in the 2nd.  Vista would get one back when a Yun-qi Qiao would hit an RBI groundout making it a 2-1 game after 2 innings of play. 

Jersey 2-1. End of 2.

Cruising along in Reno, the Cards would get on the board first when Kent Hall, who is having a very rough year, doubled down the left field line scoring breakout rookie Sugiyama who had earlier tripled.  Reno would lead 1-0 after 3.

Reno 1-0. End of 3.

Back to Vista, it didn't take long for Jersey to get the run they gave Vista in the 2nd as they quickly loaded the bases and Mike Bryant would score on a long fly out sac-fly from Warren Goyer.  A walk from rookie Fransisco Ibarra would re-load the bases for Alberto Perez, whose solid hit line drive would find the outfield and bring home 2 more runs making the Jersey lead 5-1. A 1-2-3 inning on 3 pitches from Greg Schaefer would put Jersey to bat again and MVP candidate Bryant hit a scorching line drive that left the park easy for a 6-1 Jersey lead which would stand through the 4th.

Jersey 6-1. End of 4.

While Jersey was busy scoring in Vista, 1st overall pick in this year's amateur draft Jaime Guzman and and fellow 21 year old rookie Cristobal Santos had a pitchers duel going.  Few men reached base as threw zeros  up on the board which lasted until the bottom half of the 6th inning.  Free agent signing Cade Delaney would hit a fly ball that looked routine which just kept carrying 401 feet for his 34th HR of the year giving Reno a 2-0 lead heading into the 7th inning.

Reno 2-0.  End of 6. 

After getting in a little trouble in the 5th Greg Schaefer switched on cruise control and would walk one and hit one batter over the next 3 innings.  Jersey threatened a couple of times but Vista pitching would skirt out of trouble each time as the score remained the same through 7 innings.

Jersey 6-1. End of 7.

Players like Jaime Guzman are the reasons Reno fans have bright hope for the future.  Guzman would go 7 1/3 before being pulled after a 10-pitch AB resulting in a single from 84's catcher Fransisco Diaz.  It was by far the rookie's best ever outing and left to an ovation from the Reno crowd.  A combination of relievers would take us to the bottom half of the inning where Kent Hall's 2nd RBI double of the game gave Reno a 3-0 heading into the 9th inning.  Closer Didyu Ghosh would be called upon to save the game for the Cards.  He would get Donahue and Hickman easily before a mini scare as former MVP Felix Morales would ruin the shutout with a solo HR into the RF bleachers.  It would take only 3 pitches to get promising youngster Enzo Diaz to groundout and secure the win for the Cards.

Reno 3-1. FINAL 9:32 MST.

The final score was posted on the scoreboard in Vista and cheers came from the Jersey dugout and sparingly throughout the crowd.  Schaefer would be pulled after 7 1/3 finishing his night on his 6th K of night night getting Artie Kelley swinging.  Jose Gomes would take over and finish the 8th and 9th with no more trouble sending the D-Bags running out onto the field as 1B Alberto Perez fielded an unassisted ground-out for the final out of the game.  Smiles could be seen around the crowd and Schaefer received a gatorade bath as this performance improved his record to 17-3 on the season, his previous career high coming in 2015 with 13 wins.

Jersey 6-1. FINAL 10:14 MST.

This win was Jersey's 109th win of the season and later and 4 days later with a walk-off win against Seattle Jersey would break the CL record for wins in a season with 112 which was previously set by the Regina River Sharks (now Austin) in the 2013 season where they would advance to the World Series. At the time of this publication Jersey sat with a 117-42 record with 3 games left to play in the season.  117 wins puts them 3rd all time behind two juggernaut Hendersonville teams of 2015 and 2014. 

Not only did this Jersey team set the record for most wins in the CL, they also clinched the best record in the BSA this season, the 1st time a CL team will ever finish with the most wins in the BSA for a season.  Quite an improbable run from a team who lost their ace in spring training which left big question marks heading into this season.  With 3 games left, GM Swain plans on playing mainly back ups and saving pitchers to start in the playoffs.

It has been confirmed that Jersey will take on Austin in the 1st round of the playoffs.  Swain has come out and said they plan on throwing Ramos, Schaefer and Ellis in the 1st 3 games as well.   Here's to the boys finishing the season strong and looking forward to this year's playoffs!

Revisiting Old Trades; Part 2

In my 2nd installment of revisiting old trades we look back on two more deals that happened years in the past that helped shape the BSA as we know it today.  Who got the better end?  Today we visit trades where two aces both moved from the CL to the NL in mid-season deals.  The first being between Kansas City and Boston and the 2nd being between between the LA Bruins and the Reno Cards.

Trade 1: 

7/31/2013 (4 years, 2 months ago) Boston receives SP Jean-Thomas Francoeur from Kansas City in exchange for SP Julio Leon, MR Estefan Jimenez, RF Nick Phillips, CL Brian O'Tormey and 1B Judson Backstrom.

One of the brightest and best starting pitchers in the league coming off his first no hitter earlier in the month and in the last year of his contract gets traded on trade deadline day to the defending champions the Boston Rebels.  In exchange Kansas City received a handful of young talent to help cushion the loss.  Who would get the better in the long run?

To Boston:

SP Jean-Thomas Francoeur - 29 years old. 5/5* - $21M for 1 year, pending FA.

To Kansas Citty:

SP Julio Leon - 26 years old.  3/3* - $7.35M for 2 years.
MR Estefan Jimenez - 26 years old.  3/3* - $1.2M for 1 year.
RF Nick Phillips - 27 years old. 2.5/3* - MLC
CL Brian O'Tormey - 24 years old. 1/2* - MLC
1B Judson Backstrom - 18 years old.  .5/4* - MLC

On the surface it looks as though Kansas City was just trying to get something in return for JTF before he left for free agency.  The got back 3 younger players in Leon, Jimenez and Phillips who would contribute right away, a project flame thrower in O'Tormey and the big piece was Backstrom a very raw 18 year old.  As for Boston, they would sign JTF to 7 year extension worth an astonishing $150 million before the season and pair up aces with Lara and JTF

2013 Stats:

SP Francoeur:
w/KC - 13-3, 2.72 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, 2.46 FIP, 142 K, 24 BB, 155.1 IP
w/Bos - 7-1, 1.80 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, 2.01 FIP, 90 K, 20 BB, 85.0 IP

SP Leon:
w/Bos - 5-8, 4.92 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, 4.40 FIP, 102 K, 42 BB, 126.1 IP
w/KC - 1-4, 6.25 ERA, 1.69 WHIP, 4.69 FIP, 48 K, 18 BB, 63.1 IP

MR Jimenez:
w/ BOS - In Minors
w/KC - 0-1, 7 saves, 5.79 ERA, 1.79 WHIP, 9 K, 5 BB, 14 IP (season ending injury)

RF Phillips:
w/ BOS - .214/.240/.429  70 AB, 3 HR, 15 RBI
w/ KC - In Minors

O'Tormey and Backstrom both were in the minors for both teams in 2013.

JTF was everything and more Boston could have imagined and they still missed out on the playoffs in 2013 severely underperforming winning 14 less games than the year before.  They did sign the big extension to keep JTF around, which if they hadn't a rental wouldn't have been worth the price of the trade. KC actually improved by 10 games from 2012 winning 80 games and finishing a solid 3rd place by far out of the division that Regina ran away with.  Neither Leon nor Jimenez would help the team much in the few months after the trade while the others were in AAA.  

Let's see what ended up happening since the trade:

Francouer: 2 years, 2 months.  40-20, 2.23 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 2.75 FIP, 555 K, 136 BB (Traded to ORL)

Leon: 2 years, 2 months.  15-29, 4.72 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, 5.02 FIP, 315 K, 151 BB (Lost to FA - 2016)
Jimenez: 3 years, 2 months.  10-7, 7 saves, 4.02 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 116 K, 67 BB (Lost to FA - 2017)
Phillips: 4 years, 2 months.  .262/.314/.412  142 2B, 48 HR, 298 RBI (Still on KCY)
O'Tormey: 4 years, 2 months.  9-14, 5 saves, 4.41 ERA, 1.73 WHIP, 239 K, 162 BB. (Still on KCY)
Backstrom: Yet to play for KCY, 22 years old, 91st ranked prospect in BSA.

Even 4 years later we have yet to see the ramifications for this trade.  Having the dual aces for Boston, they went to the playoffs 2 of the 3 years they pitched together but could never repeat as champions.  JTF was traded for ORL before the 2016 season for a package at the time looked a lot better than what they paid to get him.  Getting good return helps Boston even if they couldn't win the big one.

As for KCY, Leon remained a back of the rotation starter before leaving via free agency and Jimenez proved to be a decent an option out of the pen, even after having major arm surgery.  Phillips and O'Tormey are both cogs for Kansas City right now.  I would say Phillips is nothing more than average OF while O'Tormey has been an above average reliever for the past 2 seasons.  The real wild card is Backstrom, and was at the time of the deal as well.  He has broke out in AAA this year and if he plays up to his potential he could be a star for years to come.

So did Kansas City get a good deal trading one of the top starting pitchers in the game?  From my point of view, it depends how you look at it. If they couldn't sign him, getting some return was better than nothing. At least they still have 2 players on their active roster and a good hitting prospect still as a result.  After seeing the past few years what aces have gone for, especially in their prime, looking back the Cougars probably should have gotten more than they settled for.  In the end with the return Boston got for JTF, they probably have more now than they started with before they traded for Francouer which is saying something.

Trade 2:

5/1/2013 (4 years, 4 months ago) LA receives SP Jesus Moran, SP Drake Davis, $5M in cash from Reno in exchange for SP Aurelio Ramos, LF Alexander Head, SP Luis Noriega, SP Carlos Garcia, MR Hector Reyes, MR Yu-shu Kong, 1B Lorenzo Morin, SS Susumu Sugiyama, and 3B Miguel Gonzalez.

Whew, the 9-2 plus cash trade.  Moran was the prize being a fully developed 22 year old ace coming off a very good season where he put up an ERA+ of 141 at the age of 22.  Davis a 14 game winner, 125 ERA+ at the age of 27 and $5 million cash leave Reno.  Coming in are 7 players under the age of 21. Would there be enough talent to off set losing an ace and 2/5 of a pitching staff AND cash?  Let's check it out.

To LA:
SP Jesus Moran - 22 years old - 4.5/4.5* - $10.5M for 1 year.
SP Drake Davis - 27 years old - 3/3* - $2.34M for 1 year.
$5M in Cash

To Reno:
SP Aureilo Ramos - 31 years old - 2.5/2.5* - $1.1M for 2 years.
LF Alexander Head - 28 years old - 2/2* - $10.1M for 1 year.
SP Luis Noriega - 17 years old - .5/4* - MLC
SP Carlos Garcia - 18 years old - .5/2.5* - MLC
SP Hector Reyes - 17 years old - .5/1* - MLC
MR Yu-Shu Kong - 17 years old - .5/4* - MLC
1B Lorenzo Morin - 18 years old - 1/2.5* - MLC
SS Susumu Sugiyama - 16 years old - 1/2* - MLC
3B Miguel Gonzalez - 19 years old - 1/3.5* - MLC

The salary swap was almost completely even before Reno decided to throw in an extra $5 million cash in.  Moran was a free agent to be and it's possible Reno would have had trouble signing him long term and traded because of that.  It's a tough thing to do trading a 22 year old ace.  Trading 40% and your 1-2 starters usually has ramifications and this was no different.  2012 the year before the trade was the last time Reno won above 60 games and had more than 60 wins in a season, and we are in year 5 after that.  The group of youngsters are finally seeing the higher levels and the major leagues, let's take a closer look:

2013 stats:

SP Moran: 
w/REN: 1-4, 5.48 ERA, 1.76 WHIP, 4.16 FIP, 26 K, 16 BB, 42.2 IP
w/LA: 17-5, 2.27 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, 3.28 FIP, 135 K, 54 BB, 182.2 IP

SP Davis:
w/REN: 0-5, 11.88 ERA, 2.28 WHIP, 6.38 FIP, 11 K, 10 BB, 16.2 IP
w/LA: 0-2, 7.11 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, 3.91 FIP, 8 K, 3 BB, 12.2 IP (traded 20 days later)

SP Ramos:
w/LA: 3-1, 2.28 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, 3.12 FIP, 18 K, 7 BB, 23.2 IP
w/REN: 2-8, 7.45 ERA, 1.77 WHIP, 5.13 FIP, 75 K, 39 BB, 96.2 IP

LF Head: 
w/LA: .400/.426/.533, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 45 AB
w/REN: .304/.350/.374, 2 HR, 22 RBI, 171 AB

None of the 7 youngsters had any time even close to the ML level at the time of the trade.

As you can see both pitchers were struggling for Reno after very good 2012 campaigns and both players for LA had hot starts and cooled down considerably after reaching Reno.  Moran would have the best season of his career until his 2016 season in Jacksonville.  Interesting enough, the year of the trade was only year LA didn't make the playoffs, missing the Wild Card by 1 game, even though it wasn't Moran's fault.

How did they fare after the trade? Let's see:

Moran: (2 years, 5 months): 39-19, 3.21 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, 3.69 FIP, 326 K, 160 BB (Traded to JAK)
Davis: (20 days) 0-2, 7.11 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, 3.91 FIP, 8 K, 3 BB, 12.2 IP (Traded to SF)

Ramos: (5 months): 2-8, 7.45 ERA, 1.77 WHIP, 5.13 FIP, 75 K, 39 BB, 96.2 IP (Become FA 2014)
Head:  (1 year, 5 months): .271/.322/.373, 11 HR, 96 RBI, 712 AB (Still in REN, AA club)
Noriega: (3 years): 5-16, 1 save, 8.39 ERA, 1.82 WHIP, 172.2 IP.  20 years old, 1.5/4*
Garcia: (2 years): 1-5, 7.71 ERA, 2.16 WHIP, 63.0 IP.  22 years old, .5/3.5*
Reyes: (1 year): 2-4, 5.30 ERA, 1.67 WHIP, 73.0 IP. 22 years old, 3.5/4* (Traded to VIS)
Kong: Hasn't played yet for Reno.  22 years old, 1/4*
Morin: Hasn't played yet for Reno.  22 years old, 1/2.5*
Sugiyama: (1 year): .329/.363/.429, 17 2B, 2 HR, 30 RBI, 252 AB.  21 years old, 1/3.5*
Gonzalez: Never played for Reno. (Traded back to LA in 2015) 23 years old, 4.5/5*

This is one of those trades which even though it's 4 years later, it's still a little premature.  Ramos was space filler and left Reno after the season, Head played part of 2 years before being buried in the minor league system.  The trade was really about the other 7 players.  Unfortunately for Reno the only 2 that have matured have both been trade away in Reyes and Gonzalez.  Still a lot of talent in the system from the trade and it will probably be another 3-4 seasons before we start seeing most of them make a true impact.  

As for LA, Moran pitched well for them for 2+ seasons and was traded the off season before LA won it's first championship.  They did get 3 valuable players who all played key roles in their championship run though.  As for Davis, he lasted 3 starts in LA before Mikey shipped him off to division rival San Fransisco.  That trade looked like this:

LA gets:
SP Tyler Law (3/4* at the time, 2/2* now)  $3.869M for 1 year.
382K

SF gets:
SP Drake Davis
MR Jose Castro (.5/2* at the time, 2.5/4* now)
RF Miguel Montes (1/2* at the time, 2/2* now)

You should by now Mikey wasn't done trading, as he sent Law away less than 2 months later and that trade looked like this:

LA gets: 
MR Zi-jun Chou (4/4* at the time, 4.5/4.5* now) 3.35M for 2 years.
$5M Cash

New Orleans gets:
SP Tyler Law 

After the season was over the trade looked like this for LA:

LA gets:

SP Jesus Moran
MR Zi-jun Chou
$10.382M CASH

LA gives:
SP Aureilo Ramos - 31 years old - 2.5/2.5* - $1.1M for 2 years.
LF Alexander Head - 28 years old - 2/2* - $10.1M for 1 year.
SP Luis Noriega - 17 years old - .5/4* - MLC
SP Carlos Garcia - 18 years old - .5/2.5* - MLC
SP Hector Reyes - 17 years old - .5/1* - MLC
MR Yu-Shu Kong - 17 years old - .5/4* - MLC
1B Lorenzo Morin - 18 years old - 1/2.5* - MLC
SS Susumu Sugiyama - 16 years old - 1/2* - MLC
3B Miguel Gonzalez - 19 years old - 1/3.5* - MLC
MR Jose Castro -18 years old - (.5/2* at the time, 2.5/4* now)
RF Miguel Montes - 16 years old - (1/2* at the time, 2/2* now)

While the trade will be hard to judge for Reno for a couple of seasons, LA did give a lot that season in terms of their farm system.  9 players under the age of 20, all between 2-4* potential.  They got back an ace, a very good middle reliever and over $10 million in cash, not to mention giving away equal salary.  They turned Moran and Chou into valuable parts that help win a championship.  I would say this trade was surely a win for the Bruins and depending on what a couple of the youngsters still in Reno's system, could very well end up being a win for them as well.

Updating The Enigma; Jerry Burgess

Though it has only been 4 starts since this blog questioned Jerry Burgess we feel the need to update.  Last season and his first 3 starts had trended towards the worse case scenario for the D-Bags who gave him a large extension just the off season before.  We don't know if our article provided him with incentive to get it going, but since then he has been one of the best pitcher's in baseball.

He has started 4 times, twice at home and twice on the road.  Pitching against Chicago, Baffin, Madison and Reno.  In that time span he is 4-0.  Every start he has gone at least 6.2 IP and walked 3 or less batters in each appearance.  The walks, or lack thereof, are a sign of relief where Burgess has really shined is giving up hits.  He allowed just 2 hits in 3 of those starts with the other being 4 hits to Madison.  

At time of article being written: ERA 5.82, K/BB ratio of 1, WHIP 1.94.

Line of his 4 starts during the last 3+ weeks.  4GS, 4-0, 27.2IP, 10H, 11BB, 28K, 1.32  ERA, 0.77WHIP.

What has changed in Burgess we cannot tell you.  He is not getting hit and he is not walking batters.  For the season his H/9 sits out an extremely low 5.24 which is over 3 hits less per 9 than his career average, and at that current pace he would set the BSA record for fewest hits per 9 over a season.  We don't expect that to continue or his subliminally low 1.32 ERA over the past 4 starts, but after what we had seen out of Burgess over the past 9+ months this is a very welcome sign.

Burgess for the season: 7GS, 6-0, 44.2IP, 44K. 1HR, 3.02 ERA, 1.19 WHIP.  Not too shabby of a guy that many considered as the odd man out of the rotation before the season even started.  We will continue our Burgess watch as the season progresses. 

We're In! Bags Claim First Postseason Berth!

Nearly 6 years after a tedious inaugural draft that left the D-Bags with a good, not great team, a team that was always good enough, but that not good, has finally clinched a place in the postseason tournament.  Jersey has of the last few years been known as the best never to make an appearance, playing out of the tough CL East and missing the playoffs last season by 2 games with 94 wins finally can shed that title.

A rough September which left them 10-10 for the month still surprising left them with 6 games to play and a Magic number of 1 over the reeling Austin River Sharks.  With all 6 games being home games and Reno coming to town it looked inevitable, but as Swain as seen his vast days of baseballing, nothing is set in stone. The gang got to the stadium early to watch Austin on TV beat Madison in a game to keep their season alive. They knew a win meant celebration.  They didn't want to clinch on a loss anyways.

Jersey would run this year's ace Art Ellis on the mound and a lineup full of the usual characters.  Reno countered by sending Clarence Seals to the mound, whom Jersey had beaten up on in his only start against them earlier this season.   Reno scored early in the 1st and took a 4-0 lead in the 3rd on which was capped off by last year's 2nd overall pick Seaug-chun "Air" Mun hit a 2 run blast off of Ellis.

This was September for Jersey, a team with high aspiration, laying down in September, we have never seen these Bags before.

But Jersey wasn't going to roll over like that.  In their half of the third a single, walk and a single left 2 runners on while one was thrown out at the plate.  Bryant and Doyle both connected on RBI singles to halve the score at 4-2.  Both pitchers settled in until the 6th when Reno struck again.  Back-to-back-to back hits brought in 2 more runs and pushed the lead back to 4 runs at 6-2.  But of course Jersey wasn't done, Scott Powers added an RBI single and Adam Morrow knocked in 2 more to bring the score to 6-5 at the end of the 6th.  

The crowd of nearly 38,000 really got a rise to their feet when Mr. D-Bag Mikey Bryant pulled a ball high into the air down the right field line that barely snuck inside the foul pole for a game tying solo HR in the bottom of the 7th.  Maybe tonight was the night!  Mungo came in to pitch and a combination of a single, sac bunt, intentional walk and a double brought the go ahead run across the plate.  Just like that, 7-6 Reno.

Back to  back singles for Powers and Kino led off Jersey's 8th and a Morrow groundball advanced them to 2nd and 3rd.  Up to bat came, from Reno by way of the Rule V draft, OF Jose Ortiz.  On the 5th pitch of the AB, Ortiz grounded between 3B and SS that got through and Powers scored easily and Kino beat the throw by mere feet for a 9-8 lead.  That 2nd run wouldn't matter because the next batter C Duran would blast a 2-run HR down the RF line to make it 10-7 and the crowd on their feet.  A solo  HR by Doyle 2 batters later really brought the crowd to a frenzy which lasted the remainder of the game.  Mungo came out and retired the side in order and not a soul had left.  

The D-Bags celebrated on the field, Gatorade buckets were dumped and the champagne was on ice inside the clubhouse.  It's not a division title, but a postseason berth. The only batters on the roster with postseason experience are Scott Powers and Leon Foster.  While on the pitching side only Burgess and Ellis has experience, both being part of a Hendersonville championship team.

Jersey will travel to Toronto to take on the Titans in the 1st round of the CL playoffs.  The rosters are not set yet, but after the regular season concludes we will be back to preview this opening round 7 game series.
