PH Rick Mansoor (29-R), who has the best contact rate against right-handers of the players on the bench. Actually, Risinger does not strike out a lot, except when a runner is on 3rd and there are less that two outs... I bet you can probably guess the result of Mansoor's at bat....

We are back in Portland for a 3 game home stand against the Padres. They just swept the Stars in 3 games in Hollywood and have won 5 of their last 6. We are 8-3 against them on the season and won 3 of 4 the last time they were here, June 13-16. San Diego is 13th in scoring in the PCL with 3.68 runs per game (Portland is 7th with 4.21). They are 3rd in fewest runs allowed with 3.58 per game (Portland is tied for 5th with 3.97). Their run differential is +15 and ours is +34, yet we both have losing records. Another fun fact: We are in 4th place right now and finished in last place last year, yet we are further from 1st right now than we ended up last year! 25 games out last year, 25.5 out right now.

In his 1st, he pitched 8.2 shutout innings, but got a no decision. Johnson has been alternating crappy starts with brilliant starts for the last 4 outings. His last start was a CG win, so he is due to get shelled this time if the pattern holds...

Oh, boy.... It is Friday 13th; not that I am superstitious... But we have had an offer on the table for a contract extension for 1B Glenn Snowden (25-R) for a while and he picked today of all days to sign it... Well, what's done is done... We have signed Snowden to a 10 year contract! I have never signed a player to such a deal in my life, but then again, I have never had a player like Glenn Snowden. He is making $1.23 million this season and is eligible for arbitration this off season and free agency after next year. The New contract, which will be a great deal for the club as long as he maintains his tremendous production, will pay him $1.3 million next year, $1.5 million the year after that and then $1.7 million a season for the 8 years after that. The final two seasons are club options. If he continues to hit .300+ with 35+ HR a year, it will be a steal. He signed it without haggling at all, so I am afraid I could have paid him a lot less... But I was prepared to pay him quite a bit more.... We are in Seattle to play the Rainiers a 3 game series over the weekend. They just won 3 of 4 at San Francisco. The Seals had just clinched the Division and were probably not the most motivated they have ever been, but still that is an impressive accomplishment. They held the Seals to 3 or fewer runs in 3 of the 4 games. We are 6-5 against the Rainiers on the season and split a pair of games the last time we were here, June 3-4. Seattle is 15th in scoring in the PCL with 3.71 runs per game (Portland is 7th with 4.21). They are 8th in fewest runs allowed with 4.14 per game (Portland is 6th with 3.98). Their run differential is -64 and ours is +34. Portland Beavers (73-73 .500 24 GB in 4th place in the PCL West) at Seattle Rainiers (60-86 .411 37 GB in 8th (last) place in the PCL West) POR: Steve Muir (27-R 12-11 3.22) Gold Glove vs. SEA: Jamie Ladnier (33-L 10-8 3.61) Muir is 1-4 in his last 7 starts with a 4.71 ERA. Ladnier is 1-2 against us and had 1 good game and 2 not very goof, though the good on was one of the losses. He is 0-1 in his last 5 starts.

Bottom of the Fourth: Luis Hernandez leads off with a double to center. You know, he is one of the worst fielders that ever lived. A big reason why we were willing to trade him away. Coming into this game he had 19 errors, the same as our Gold Glover... Hernandez has made his 20th today, though there is still time for Snowden to catch him... Willie Bethune doubles to right and Hernandez scores. Tie game: 1 to 1. With 2 outs, we walk Don Kelly intentionally... He is definitely a worse hitter than P Jim Ladnier... Ladnier pops out to 2nd. Top of the Fifth: With 2 outs, Jack Hinckley doubles to right and Dave Risinger singles him home! 2 to 1, Beavers! Bottom of the Seventh: Don Kelly leads off with a hit. The Bullpen gets stirring.

Portland Beavers (73-74 .497 25 GB in 4th place in the PCL West) at Seattle Rainiers (61-86 .415 37 GB in 8th (last) place in the PCL West) POR: Bobby Johnson (23-R 11-11 3.06) vs. SEA: Earl Rogers (27-R 9-17 3.34) Johnson is 3-2 in his last 6 starts, alternating great games with stinkers. His last outing was a stinker, so we are hoping the pattern continues for just one more game and then the cycle can happily be broken. Rogers is their #1 starter. We have only faced him once and beat him, scoring 6 runs and getting 10 hits in 3.2 IP. The Rainiers have not scored more than 3 runs in a start of his for 11 games in a row!

With 2 outs, Dan McKee lines a hit to right and Severn scores... 1 to 0, Rainiers. Through 4 innings, we have grounded into 3 double plays... The only reason it is not 4 is because Jim Shippy got picked off at 1st before we could do it in one inning... Top of the Fifth: With 1 out, Fernando Martinez doubles to left center. Dave Risinger lines a hit to center. Larry Ballard sends one high and deep to left, but it is caught on the warning track and Martinez trots home. Tie game: 1 to 1.

RP Jeff Gleason (25-R) was sent to Vancouver (A). Rookie RP Bill Moon (25-R) was called up. He was signed as a minor league free agent in July after quite a bidding war. He was a 6th round draft pick of the Cardinals in the B Leagues draft this year, but was released on the 1st of April. He sat around unemployed for 3 months, until we had some injuries in the minors and needed a healthy arm. All of a sudden everyone decided they wanted to sign him and we had to end up giving him an $11,000 bonus. He had a 1.44 ERA in 25 IP with the Mounties. Portland Beavers (73-75 .492 25 GB in 4th place in the PCL West) at Seattle Rainiers (62-86 .419 36 GB in 8th (last) place in the PCL West) POR: Frank Flores (23-R 11-11 3.47) Rookie vs. SEA: Bill Foley (27-R 7-17 3.82) Silver Slugger Flores is just another of our good young starters who have not been any good at all of late. He is winless in his last 3 starts and allowed 14 runs in his last 17 IP (7.41 ERA). Foley is 1-0 in 2 starts against us this season and only gave us 2 runs in each game in 8.1 IP. He has only allowed 1 total run in his last 2 starts, both wins.

Now, here comes #2, #3 and #4, I bet.... Juan Garza grounds out to 1st, unassisted, and Sibble goes to 2nd. Sibble steals 3rd... Adam Carter flies out to left and Sibble holds... 2 outs. Ronaldo Entrevinhas strikes out!! Bottom of the Seventh: Luis Hernandez skies one high and deep to left, but it is caught on the warning track. Carlos Lopez singles.

He threw a WP. 121 pitches. His 5th shutout, tying him with 3 others for the most in Baseball! Bill Foley (L 7-18) went 6 innings, gave us 3 runs, 7 hits, 2 home runs, 2 walks and struck out 6. He threw a WP. He leads the PCL in losses all alone now and is tied for the Major League lead. CF Brian Mitchell hit a double. 3B Rick Woodell hit his 9th home run of the season. RF Fernando Mexicano hit his 35th home run, drew a walk and scored twice. LF Fernando Martinez had a hit and a walk. His 12th walk as a Beaver. He has less than half the walks he had this season for the Brewers and more than twice the at bats.... There is no way I would have traded for him had I known he was going to walk anywhere close to this rate.... The Rainiers announced that Willie Bethune strained his calf and should be fine in a few days. |

We are in Sacramento to play the Solons a two game set. They won 2 of 3 here from the Padres over the weekend. We are 8-4 against them this season and split a pair of games the last time we were here, way back in April (29-30). They are 12th in scoring in the PCL with 3.74 runs per game (Portland is up to #6 with 4.17, though our average has gone down). The Solons are 9th in fewest runs allowed with 4.15 per game (Portland is 6th with 3.95). Their run differential is -60 and ours is +33. Portland Beavers (74-75 .497 25 GB in 4th place in the PCL West) at Sacramento Solons (64-85 .430 35 GB in 7th place in the PCL West) POR: Rondey Moe (26-R 5-7 2.89) vs. SAC: Juan Sanchez (27-R 10-16 4.45) In his last 5 starts, Moe is only 2-2, but he has not allowed an unearned run and his ERA is 2.25 in 36 IP. Only 19 H. Sanchez is 0-3 against us, but has not had a really bad game. His ERA is 3.68 in the games. He has lost his last 3 starts and been hit very hard in each of his last 5. So I am sure he will shut us down... Fernando Mexicano and Glenn Snowden have liked facing Sanchez: they are a combined 22 for 45 (.489) with 5 HR (4 by Snowden).

Portland Beavers (74-76 .493 25.5 GB in 4th place in the PCL West) at Sacramento Solons (65-85 .433 34.5 GB in 7th place in the PCL West) POR: Chuck Purnell (26-L 1-1 3.70 1 SV) Rookie vs. SAC: Steve Gonzalez (32-R 8-8 3.56) Purnell started one other game on July 20 and got a win and then got sent to A Ball. In 5 IP, he allowed 5 runs (1 earned), 7 hits, walked 3 and only struck out 1. He is getting the start here over Duke McKenzie because of all the lefties in the Solons' lineup. Plus, he was 9-0 in 12 starts with a 2.07 ERA for Vancouver (A). Gonzalez, the ex-Beaver, is 0-1 in 3 starts against us this season, but only had one poor game and that was a no decision. He has won his last 2 starts, one against San Francisco, and both were good games.

Harvey Turner grounds a hit to right and Olds beats the throw to the plate... 1 to 0, Solons. Larry Pierce take a 3-2 pitch for ball 4... The Bullpen is stirring... Boyd Wassink lines one back to the mound and P Purnell catches it and doubles Pierce off at 1st!! Top of the Third: P Steve Gonzalez walks the bases loaded with 2 outs (Larry Ballard, Brian Mitchell and Rick Woodell). Fernando Mexicano swings at a 3-1 pitch and grounds out to 3rd... Bottom of the Third: Les Olds, the .220 hitter, gets his 2nd hit and Dale Cave gets beaned. He is hurt and Terry Bass (29-L), the catcher, is in to run for him.

Boyd Wassink grounds a hit to right and another run is in... 4 to 0, Solons. Mario Vasquez grounds a hit to center and another run scores... 5 to 0, Solons. That is 7 straight batters to reach base... Larry Carlson grounds one to 3rd and we would finally have an out, except Rick Woodell boots it... 6 to 0, Solons. P Steve Gonzalez grounds into a 4-6-3 double play and another run crosses the plate... 7 to 0, Solons. Les Olds strikes out. Meanwhile, we have 1 hit through 4 innings.... They say they have an actual salon here at the park that they call a Solon and it is supposed to be something. I'm going to go see if I can find it.... Lost - 8 to 5 Mini-swept... .500 looks out of the question now... We have 11 games left and would need to go 7 and 4, which seems possible, until you notice that all 11 games are against the top 3 teams in our division... And 7 of the games are on the road. We had 6 hits and made 1 error Sacramento had 11 hits and made 1 error Chuck Purnell (L 1-2) went 2+ innings, allowed 6 runs (5 earned), 5 hits, 3 walks, 1 HBO and struck out no one. 65 pitches.

Thursday, September 19, 2002
Yesterday, on our off day, Rick Woodell, came to see me. Earlier in the season, he refused to go to Vancouver (A), if you recall. And then he was complaining that he wasn't in the starting lineup. Well, he did not go to Vancouver (A) and we did not cut him and he we even put him in the starting lineup against right-handed pitchers. But now he is complaining that he should not be batting 2nd, but should be batting 3rd or 4th.... I asked him if he really thought that he was a better run producer than Fernando Mexicano and Glenn Snowden. He said that if he was batting in their spots, he'd put up just as good of numbers as they have. I laughed in his face. I didn't mean to be mean; it was just an involuntary reaction... He demanded that I trade him immediately. I pointed out to him that the trade deadline had passed and that no trading was allowed until after the World Series. He said that we weren't going to the World Series, so we should be able to trade right now. I told him to take it up with the Commissioner.... And I think he might... Meanwhile, I will put him back on the bench and see how he likes that... Also, P Chuck Purnell (26-L) was sent back to Vancouver (A) to help them with their pennant drive. He's not going to help us any. RP Ken Powell (31-R) was recalled. We are back home in beautiful Portland to play our final home series of the year, a 4 game set against the Oakland Oaks. They just beat the Stars 2 games at home. We are 6-4 against them on the season, but they swept us in 3 games the last time they were here, May 31 - June 2.

Fernando Martinez swings at the first pitch and jerks a home run down the right field line! Just over the fence! 3 to 0, Beavers! Jim Shippy flies out to right. He has not been dropped to the #6 hole from the #5 hole because of lack of production, but just so that our entire lineup can be alternating handedness. Bottom of the Second: Larry Ballard leads off with a double over the center fielder's head. He steals 3rd. Why we would want a runner on 3rd with less than 2 outs, I don't know, since we mostly strike out in that situation.... Jack Hinckley swings at a 3-2 pitch and does not strike out, but lines out to the pitcher.... And, for once, our runner is not doubled off base!

With the infield hit, Jim Byrum grounds a hit through the left side and a run scores... 4 to 3, Oaks. Is it just me, or do we seem to have more improbable streaks of base runners getting on base than is possible? That's 5 in a row... Jack Reynolds flies out to deep center and Burrell tags up and trots home. 5 to 3, Oaks. A passed ball moves Byrum into scoring position... Mario Rodriguez swings at a 3-2 pitch and doubles down the right field line and Byrum scores... 6 to 3, Oaks. P Hugo Lopez grounds out to 3rd. 2 outs.

Meanwhile, after scoring 3 runs of P Hugo Lopez in the 1st inning and thinking we were on our way to a second straight double digit day, we have done nothing on offense.... Larry Ballard led of the 2nd with a double. Since then, our batters are 1 for 16 with no walks.
