CHI 21 CC 1 (14-12 3.5 GB)

GAME 27
1st meetup with the surprise Columbus Clippers, CL Central leaders at 17-8. They’re pitching 4th in starters ERA, and catching, 3rd in Def Eff, and hitting, 2nd in Runs and HR’s. Will Cannon is 4-1 2.95, Mike Holmes is 4-1 3.33 and their top 6 have30 HR’s, 5,4,6,6,4 and 5. Haqverdi Hamidov is leading their offense at .341 in the 2 hole.

3 HR’s (Weaver (1) Gutierrez (2) and Collins (7)) accounted for all 4 Chicago runs against SP Will Canon (4-2 3.22) who went 8-9-4-4-4-4 in the Clipper loss. Mark Williams (3-1) went 7.1-6-3-3-2-5 and Jose Pacheco (H7) wiggled out of an 8th inning jam before Ernesto Cruz’s perfect 9th (S9).
CHI 4 COL 3 (15-12 2.5 GB)

GAME 28
Hugh Collins went 3-5 with a double, scored and drove in 2 and Massi Lorenzelli was a HR short of the cycle in a 3-5 2 run 1 RBI day. Wes Morgan walked 4 times in a 9-2 win. The 9 run 15 hit day backed Ramon Morales (3-0 2.38) who went 5-2-1-1-4-7 and Torres (H3) and van Bodegraven (H3) closed the last 4 with Craig Frank.
CHI 9 COL 2 (16-12 1.5 GB)

GAME 29
Riley Potts (H2) managed to wiggle out of Bill Flowers (1-1) 6th inning jam to hold a 5-4 lead and Pennington (H4) Pacheco (H8) and Jose Torres (H4) got the ball to Cruz who retired the final 4 batters on 3 K’s for his 10th Save. Chicago hit 3 solo HR’s (Alexander (8) Gutierrez (3) and Hudson (3) and Wes Morgan went 3-4. Gutierrez and Hudson added doubles and both drove in 2.
CHI 6 COL 5 (17-12 .5 GB)

LEAGUE NEWS
Sacramento River Cats George Bean continued his dominating early run by shutting our Brooklyn 9-0 on a 6 hitter. The 25 year old struck out 6 and walked 1 to move to 5-0 1.21 on the season.

Vegas 51 SP Glen Harvey threw a 3 hitter to beat Philly 1-0 yesterday. The 24 year old is 2-3 4.64 on the year.

STUFF
Fan interest is down a tick, 98, but they’re showing up! Attendance is up 20% over 2013, and we are 8th in the league in total attendance. Our 18.4M payroll is 24th in the league (the signings were huge) and our cost per win of 169K is 1st.
Popularity amongst our players, is about what you’d expect.
1) Chartier
2) Cruz
3) Collins
4) Alexander
5) Frank??? Really?
I assumed Alexander would be 1 by a long shot, but Chartier appeals to the younger crowd I guess Craig Frank? There’s got to be a great story behind that one.
We drew 3.18m last year on a 47.2K stadium, hoping we can get close to 3.5 this year.

GAME 30
An outstanding start from De La Torre (4-1) as he goes 7.1-5-1-1-1-6. Ryan Pennington comes in and tries to make it a game with a walk and single so Cruz has to be summoned. He notches Save 11 by getting the final 5 outs. Chartier went 2-3 with his 7th HR, Collins and Gutierrez had 2 hit days.
CHI 4 LA 2 (18-12 .5 GB)

GAME 31
My ace vs the LA ace Tommy Hobbs (2-2 2.92).

Bill Alexander went 2-4 scoring twice with 2 RBI’s hitting a 1st inning HR (9) and LA made 4 errors. Alfredo Alejandrez continues to frustrate by failing to get past 6 innings (5.2-6-3-2-5-7) but Torres (2-0), Pacheco (H9) get the ball to Cruz once again and he nails down his 12th save. Torres escaped a bases loaded 6th inning jam.
CHI 4 LA 3 (19-12 +.5)

WEEK 5 WRAP UP
El Paso’s Caden Haynes had a good day/bad day thing today. A few days after winning the April PotM he won the FL player of the week, and then learned he’d be out the next 5-6 weeks with a separated shoulder. Caynes hit 298-31-114 in 2013.

Chicago’s Hugh Collins took home CL PotW honors after he went 12-27 3 HR’s, 6 RBI’s and scored 9 times as Chicago went 6-0 and is riding a 7 game winning streak. Chicago has gone 9-1 in their past 10 to take over the CL Central.

El Paso suffered another potentially devastating blow today as well. 22 year old fireballer Corey Elkins will miss the rest of the 2014 season after fracturing his elbow on a line drive yesterday. The starter was 2-1 3.91 with 73 K’s in 48.1 IP over 7 starts in AAA Lamar. Elkins was a mid-season call up last year, struggling to a 1-5 7.77 ERA with 66K’s and 66BB’s in 63.2 IP.

Chicago is #1 in the power rankings, at 125.3 (Fresno, Sacramento, Philly, Brooklyn). Corpus Christ is 24th, New Hampshire 23rd.
