Week 6
3 vs Philly
4 at Michigan

Game 33
Not a repeat! Alexander hits another 2R HR in the 1st. To no avail though, as Davis struggled through 6.1 tough innings giving up 4 earned runs on 6 hits and 4 walks. Pacheco took the loss but defense was the reason, 3 unearned runs in the 8th provided the margin of defeat (with Parker committing his 8th error at 3B to open the flood gates). Gutierrez was 3-4.
PHI 7 CHI 4 (16-17)

Game 34
Just an ugly game. Jackson was atrocious giving up 3 walks, 7 hits and 5 runs through 3.1 and Dalton and George did no better. A 12-0 drubbing.
PHI 12 CHI 0 (16-18)

Game 35
Lead changes on 7 occasions with the final one being Bob Barbour’s walk off HR in the bottom of the 11th to propel the Iron Pigs to a 12-11 win! 3 hit games from Bartlett and Barbour and 2 hit games from Chartier, Alexander, Diaz, Parker (who subbed for an injured Ferrer) and Weaver. Salazar was brutal, giving up 7 earned runs on 4 walks and 9 hits through 3.2 IP. Cruz grabbed the win getting the final 6 outs as I had to run through the pen once again!
CHI 12 PHI 11 (17-18)

DL NEWS
Word came down after the game the Ignacio Ferrer is once again headed to the DL, this time for 5-6 weeks with a torn meniscus. Chris Dixon will come up to sit and spell an IF here and there.

Game 36
Tying run thrown out at home, bottom of the 9th. A sloppy ending to a sloppy game. A 4-1 then 5-2 lead evaporated in the 7th with a Battlecats 5 run rally. All due to my depleted pen and only 2 LHP rested, trying to squeeze another out from Alejandrez (3-2). His line, 6.1-6-7-6-4-5 was way worse than the effort. I needed him to eat another inning and he couldn't’ do it, not his fault. The last 3 runs he gave up were Franks, as he couldn't plug the leak with the bases loaded. Bartlett and Weaver hit HR’s in the losing effort.
MICH 7 CHI 6 (17-19)

Game 37
Jeff Garrett (1-2) took a beating. Amazing to me how much OOTP is like real life in that almost every single time you work to get just one more out with a pitcher, it’s one hitter too many. 5.2-11-7-7-2-6 was the line. He gave up the 10th hit and I was thinking, now… But I said nah, 2 outs, he can get this guy. 3R HR…. Eric Hudson went 4-4 in the losing effort.
MICH 7 CHI 1 (17-20)

Game 38
Son of a B. Mike Davis (3-1) walks the bases loaded in the 1st, then gives up a granny. Did I mention how I feel about walks? A 7 walk outing in 6 IP, yielding 6 earned runs. He has been wild a bit, but this was out of nowhere and a symptom of my staff. I am going to need to look hard and long at the draft and maybe load up on a ton of arms. Once I get stabilized I’ll also need to work on the defense. My offense walked 9 times today, managing just 1 run in the effort.
MICH 8 CHI 1 (17-21)

Game 39
The score and most of the game, was never in doubt. Until the 8th. Up 6-2 Jackson loads the bases and van Bodegraven and George wiggle one out between them, allowing a run in the process. Ernesto Cruz comes in, bases juiced and 1 out, and 1 pitch and a DP later the Iron Pigs drop a 5 spot in the top of the 9th to put it away. Jackson (1-3) was outstanding (7-6-2-2-2-5) in the win. Chartier hits his 2nd leadoff HR to start the game (and goes 4-5) and Bill Alexander hits his 18th in the 9th.
CHI 11 MICH 2 (18-21)

WEEK 6 RECAP
A 2-5 week always feels better when the last one is a W. Diaz was banged up but it’s nothing serious and DtD.

DRAFT NEWS
Cintron came back on 22 year old Barney Watt, SP from TCU. He looks like he could be a serviceable ML SP but given his demands I can’t seem him in a Chicago uni.

Roger Goodman of the WM White Caps wins the FL PotW going 10-25 with 5HR’s and 9RBI’s

Joe Rowe of the Fresno Grizzlies wins the CL PotW with a 12-24 3HR 6 RBI effort.
