WEEK 7
1 vs Baltimore
Off Day
3 @ Las Vegas
2 vs Philadelphia

GAME 39
All good things must come to an end. Of course it does in a Bill Flowers start….
Flowers (1-2) goes 4.2-9-6-6-5-2 and Albert Luna (5-1 3.25) goes 7.1-5-2-1-2-9 for the win. Gutierrez and Riggs had 2 hit days and Alexander hit his 12th.
BAL 6 CHI 3 (26-13 +4.5) The streak is over but it got us into solid footing atop the division. Was it an aberration on this offense? Or is it that good? I need starters, badly. I have no one to eat innings atop my rotation.

LEAGUE NEWS
Catcher Mark Doyle (CC) went 5-5 in a 12-8 win over Michigan.

In crippling news out of Fresno, SP Santiago Medina will miss at least the next 4 months with a ruptured finger tendon. The 29 year old went 14-15 3.63 last year, and was 3-4 5.11 this season in 8 starts over 56.1 IP. The Grizzlies are currently 19-17, a game ahead of 19-19 LA in the CL West.

OFF DAY NEWS
Things were too rosy in Chicago. A day after our 14 game streak was halted it was learned that Catcher Eric Hudson will miss the next 4 weeks with a strained quad. A shuffling of some minor league catchers was needed after calling up Jose Cabral. Flores will catch more, and be a defensive replacement, but Cabral brings some thunderous pop, and has improved defensively.

Pittsburgh will be without SP Dan McFadden for the rest of the season. The 26 year old will have shoulder surgery today. He was 2-2 5.10 in 8 starts after going 7-2 with a save in 21 games in 2013, with a 4.31.

And Dayton lost 28 year old RP Ken Watson for the year with elbow surgery. Watson was 0-0 1.38 in 10 games.

GAME 40
De La Torre (5-2) battled through 5-5-3-3-5-5 but Jeff Murdock (1-3 5.67) went 7-5-2-2-1-3 and their pen kept us down. Jose Torres came in to a 2-1 lead and gave up 3 hits, the lead, and the game. Chartier hit his 9th and Collins went 2-4 with a SB.
LV 3 CHI 2 (26-14 +3.5)

GAME 41
A 9 run 2nd was enough to get Alejandrez (4-3) to finally pitch 7! Barely…. 7-9-5-5-1-3. Jean Chartier went 3-4 with 2 HR’s (11) and 2 RBI’s, Wes Morgan hit a grand slam (11) and Hugh Collins added a 2 run shot (9) and stole his 13th. Raul Feliz went 1-4 with 3 RBI’s.
CHI 13 LV 8 (27-14 +4.5)

LEAGUE NEWS
Phoenix lost SP Armando Villa (3-2 4.84 in 9 starts) for the year with a labral tear. Villa was 12-11 4.76 in 33 starts in 2013.

GAME 42
A 7 run 6th powered by Bill Alexanders Grand Slam (13) pushed the Iron Pigs to a 10-4 win. Paul Riggs was 3-5, Jose Cabral got his first IBL hit in a 3-5 2 RBI 2 run effort and Gutierrez and Chartier had 2 hit days. Mark Williams (6-1) threw far better than the line of 6.1-9-4-4-4-5, tiring in the 7th when van Bodegraven allowed his 2 runs to score.
CHI 10 LV 4 (28-14 +4.5)

LEAGUE NEWS
Columbus All Star Dean Strong went 5-5 in a 5-1 Clipper win over Pittsburgh. The 28 year old Catcher is off to a slower than usual start at .259-9-24.

GAME 43
Ramon Morales (6-0) did it the REAL hard way. 6-4-3-3-6-1. Frank (H3) Pacheco and Pennington tossed 3 scoreless to close it out as Chicago scored 8 runs on 11 hits led by Bill Alexanders 3-4 2 run 3 RBI’s on 2 HR’s (15). Jean Chartier homered (12) in a 2-4 day and Raul Feliz went 2-4 with 2 runs and 3 RBI’s on his 1st HR of the year.
CHI 8 PHI 3 (29-14 +5.5)

GAME 44
Richard O’Dell (6-1 3.41) went 8.2-5-1-1-0-4 and Bill Flowers (1-3) gave up 5 in 5.1IP after a 3 run 1st. Riggs and Chariter went 2-4 in the loss.
PHI 5 CHI 1 (29-15 +5.5)

WEEK 7 WRAP
Tulsa Driller 1B Curt Whimster took hom FL PotW honors going 12-24 with 5 HR’s and 9 RBI’s.

Jean Chartier took home CL PotW honors. Chartier went 10-19 with 5HR’s and 8 RBI’s.

ORG NEWS
Halfway through May before my 1st minor league player wins a PotW. Brandon Harris went 10-21 with 3 HR’s and 7 RBI’s to win Pacific League PotW.

We dropped to 3rd (Philly, Sacramento, Chicago, Baltimore, El Paso) in the power rankings. Bottom is Edmonton, Phoenix, New Hampshire.
