WEEK 20
2 vs New York (57-64 8 GB EM)
Off Day
3 @ Buffalo (61-60 4 GB EM)
1 vs West Michigan (45-76 34 GB MW)

GAME 122
Ron Cox had a nightmare 1st after Jode Lopez’s 17th HR made it 4-0. He’d give up another (6.1-9-5-5-2-2) but hold the line, and the pen of van Bodegraven, Pennington and Cruz (1-0) went 3.2-2-0-0-0-3. A Paul Riggs lead off walk, followed by Eric Hudson’s single in the bottom of the 9th made a difference when Jean Chartier drilled a 1 out RBI single and pinch hitter Ron Miller tied the game on a sac fly. Wes Morgan reached leading off the 10th on 3rd baseman Mario Moreno's error, Lorrenzelli walked and 1 out later Riggs walked to load the bases. Nicholas Clark relived Closer Ken Lee and got Hudson on a pop up but Ernesto Gutierrez drills a walk off single on an 0-1 pitch. Chartier went 3-5 2 RBI’s, Hugh Collins hit his 26th HR and Eric Hudson was 4-5 with 2 runs and his 1st triple.
CHI 6 NY 5 (80-42 +5)

INJURY NEWS
Pittsburgh will be without catcher Dana Reed for the next 6 weeks after he fractured a thumb today. In his 3rd year with the Bulldogs Reed was hitting .312-18-68 in 103 games.

MINORS NEWS
Clippers 2014 #1 pick (#3 overall) Mike Jones tossed his 2nd shutout in 2 weeks in AA today. He’s 4-0 1.60 in 6 AA starts. The 20 year old looks to be a strong 2015 rotation candidate.

GAME 123
Ken Johnson (SV 26) has earned his place. The setup man turned closer turned setup man again was in for a tired Ernesto Cruz and got the final 4 outs after Spike Davis (14-6) went 7-4-4-4-1-5 and Winston (H9) and Torres (H6) got the game into the 8th. Down early again the Iron Pigs scored 1 in the 6th, and 3 in the 7th to grab and hold the lead, and the game. Ernesto Gutierrez was 103 with 2 runs, Raul Feliz 2-5 with a run and Bill Alexander went 1-4 with a run and 2 RBI’s on his 3rd triple. Massi Lorenzelli drilled his 8th HR in a 1-4 2 RBI day. Lopez (3) Lorenzelli (25) and Riggs (10) stole bases.
CHI 6 NY 4 (81-42 +5)

INJURY NEWS
Greyhounds slugger Luis Rios (8th all time in IBL HR’s with 134) will miss at least another week. The 34 year old is working with a bad calf.

GAME 124
Bison SP Jim Peck (10-8 3.71) went 8-4-0-0-3-6 in shutting us down tonight. Worse yet, Mike Davis (5-2) is hurt again. Not sure how bad yet. He went 4.2-1-2-2-3-5.
BUF 4 CHI 0 (81-43 +5)

INJURY NEWS
Davis is ok, nothing serious but it’ll be a few days, bad back again. I think it’s time to seriously consider moving him, if I can, this winter. He’s not going to get healthier.

GAME 125
My leadoff hitter went 6-6 with 2 doubles, a HR (27) and 4 runs, 2 RBI’s. The problem is that was 4-4 from Ernesto Gutierrez, who then got hurt, and Hugh Collins (trying to sit off a slump) 2-2. Paul Riggs went 3-4 2 runs 3 RBI’s on his 35th double and Dan MacFadden (8-7) went 6-6-5-5-3-2. Ryan Pennington (SV 4) got the final 6 after we busted it open in the 9th.
CHI 11 BUF 6 (82-43 +6)

INJURY NEWS
Gutierrez is nothing major, Dtd stuff but we’ll use Miller a few days to make sure it all heals up.

GAME 126
A bad pitching move ALMOST cost us the game. It did cost Alejandrez the W. He went 7-6-2-2-4-6 and his leadoff 8th inning baserunner couldn’t be kept off the board by reliever Mike Moore. But Dave Winston (1-1) got out of a jam and then Ernesto Cruz slammed the door for his 8th Save. Alexanders RBI single in the top half of the 9th scored PR Alfredo Lopez after Eric Hudson led off with a single. Paul Riggs hit his 36th double.
CHI 3 BUF 2 (83-43 +7)

GAME 127
Richard Cox (10-4) lets the White Caps creep back in after throwing 5 strong innings. He goes 6.1-7-5-5-6-8 and Winston (H10) and Cruz (SV 9) slam the door. Gutierrez scores 3 times and Feliz, Collins and Alexander have 2 hit days. Alexander drives in 2 in a day of rest for some regulars.
CHI 8 WMI 5 (84-43 +8)

WEEK 20 RECAP
FL POTW-Roberto Villalobos (GB) 11-23 3 HR’s 7 RBI’s (.324-7-34 79)
CL POTW-Kevin Moore (NH) 13-26 1 HR 6 RBI’s (.322-16-82)

ORG NEWS
Alejandro Sotolo took home UL POTW for Tulsa going 7-12 2 HR’s 5 RBI’s. He’s hitting .250-14-50 this year in Tulsa but has been hurt a bit too much. I want him as a backup infielder but he doesn’t defend well anywhere but 2nd. Hoping he can get hot this last month and be a chip at the winter meetings.

INJURY NEWS
El Paso SP Artie Johnson will miss the remainder of the 2015 season after labrum surgery today. The 23 year old was 6-4 4.13 in 13 starts for the big club.
