Off Day

PHI 11 CHI 6 (29-16 +5.5)

LEAGUE NEWS
El Paso LF Valentin Maitani is hitting 295-20-52, the last 2 numbers good enough to lead the world. The 24 year old is coming off 2 monster seasons. He hit 281-42-116 in 2012 and 255-39-108 last year.

GAME 46
Tomas Villanueva (2-5 8.07) and 3 relievers shut down the Chicago offense on 7 hits. Alejandrez (4-4) continues to revert to stink in a 5-5-4-4-7-3 bomb. Feliz and Cabral go 2-4, Collins steals #14.
PIT 4 CHI 0 (29-17 +5.5)

GAME 47
Pittsburgh SP Chris Burns (2-1 2.38) goes into the 9th with a shutout (8.1-3-0-0-5-8) and Mark Williams (6-2 4.11) is left in a hitter too long (7-10-5-4-4-0-4). Riverhound LF Ron Miller hits 2 solo shots (4) and Ben Hutchins hits another (6) as the Chicago offense never gets off the ground.
PIT 5 CHI 0 (29-18 +4.5)

LEAGUE NEWS
Corpus Christi’s Mike Moore has been awful all year, until today. The 24 year old lefty threw a 2 hitter in a 6-0 win over Vegas to move to 1-5 12.24 on the season. In 4 starts before today he had gone 13.2IP and given up 31 hits and 26 runs, walking 17.

GAME 48
Up against K machine Vince Bray. He’s 5-1 3.30 with 71k’s to 11 walks in 73.2IP.

Van Bodegraven (1-1) comes in and blows a lead, and the game, yielding 3 straight hits with 2 outs. Bray (6-1 3.20) goes 8-7-2-2-1-5 and Boswell saves his 7th. Dan Weaver hits his 2nd and Chartier goes 2-4.
PIT 3 CHI 2 (29-19 +4.5)

TRADE NEWS
We’ve decided to part ways with Bill Flowers. He’s just not going to be able to help us, and we’re willing to turn anywhere. New York GM Tomas Hernandez is trying to do the same with 32 year old Wes MacNamara so we swap ‘problems’ and 2nd round picks. I move from last to 2nd in round 2 with the trade. Macnamara is 14-26 6.49 in 3 years. He’s made 53 starts and pitched 319.2 innings giving up 396 hits, striking out 207 and walking 125. He’ll come in and get the next games start, about 5 minutes after meeting his teammates.

LEAGUE NEWS
New Hampshire loses SP Colin Botts for the year with elbow problems. Botts, 34, was 12-15 3.86 in 2012, and then made 9 starts before season ending surgery last year.

OFF DAY NEWS
Sacramento slugger Nori Takahashi was suspended 7 games after being ejected today. The 28 year old has helped Sacramento to an FL best 32-16 start, slugging 293-10-30 in 174 AB’s.

Edmonton’s Barry Meyer doubled in the 4th to extend his streak to 20 games.

Tulsa OF Bob Barbour went 5-5 with 2 RBI’s in a 11-6 win.

Dayton slugger Ben Simmons will miss the next 4 weeks after straining a rib cage muscle yesterday.

GAME 49
Fresno has the leagues 2nd best offense. Led by Qi-chen Jung’s 331-10-34 start. They also have 7 players (including stud Santiago Medina) on the DL. Tough test out of the gate for the new guy

Raul Feliz 2nd error of the game came in the bottom of the 9th, with a runner on second on a single to left, allowing the game winning run to score. Wes MacNamara was BRILLIANT in his debut (8-3-1-1-1-4). His only blemish a 5th inning solo shot to Roy Lewis, his 1st of the year. Antonio Espinoza and 3 relievers held the Iron Pig offense to a run on 6 hits. Alexander went 2-4 in the loss.
FRE 2 CHI 1 (29-20 +4)

LEAGUE NEWS
Sacramento stayed hot, and so did ace Vincente Romero. The 27 year old ran his record to 7-2 2.31 with a 3 hit 4-0 win over Phoenix.

El Paso stopped Edmontons Barry Meyer’s hit streak at 20.

San Antonio Silver Stars OF Ron Stokes will miss the next 9 or 10 months after tearing the labrum in his throwing shoulder today. The 23 year old was off to a great start (290-10-32 in 45 games). Stokes was the 2nd round pick of the Tulsa Drillers in 2012, and traded to the Silver Stars for speedy Joel Runas at the winter meetings of that year. Stokes is projected to contend for HR crowns while manning RF for San Antonio.

The New York Knights will be without SP Ray Anderson for the next 4-5 months after shoulder surgery today. The 23 year old righty was 2-4 3.69 in 10 starts after a 15-15 5.12 2013. You may remember him as the Knights 2013 1st round pick (#3 overall).

GAME 50
4 Chicago double plays helped Carlos De La Torre (6-3) wiggle in and out of jams and a 12 hit day led by Jean Chartier’s 3-3 3 RBI’s paved the way. Wes Morgan went 2-4 with his 12th and Raul Feliz hit a 3 run triple in the 1st. Don Weaver drove in 2 and Gutierrez went 2-3 and scored 3 times.
CHI 9 FRE 5 (30-20 +5)

Ernesto Cruz is the IBL leader in saves, though he’s gone 19 days since his last one and only pitched twice since then!

Chris O’Slattery is at 10 wins already, 2 ahead of George Bean (SAC).

Walk Thompson is at 101 K’s, 20 more than O’Slattery.

Bean is still the ERA leader at 1.58, O’Slattery leads the CL and is 2nd in the IBL at 1.94.

ORG NEWS
Bakersfield IF Lorenzo Vega won the Primal League PotW after his 12-21 3 RBI week. Vega is hitting 309-0-14 in limited time but now starting due to injuries.

We are now 6th in the power rankings at 107 (Top 5 Sacramento, Philly, Balt, El Paso, Fresno) (Bottom 5 CC, Michigan, Edmonton, Phoenix, New Hampshire)

A 1-5 week, and 4-8 since the end of the 14 game streak. Doesn't feel that way, and my guess is because Columbus has gone 4-9 in the same stretch.
