WEEK 6
1 @ Edmonton (12-14)
3 vs Alaska (13-13)
3 @ Michigan (10-16)

GAME 27
Up against Dan MacFadden (former teammate) who comes in 2-2 5.26.
A win, but at too high a price. Jean Chartier goes down in the 8th (and he should have been out of the game, which I was considering!) running the bases and it does not look good.
Luis Chavez goes 4-5 with 2 runs, Alexander hits 2 doubles and drives in 3, Wes Morgan drills his league leading 13th homer and has 4 RBI’s. A very bumpy outing for Ken Lee (5-0) but a 5.1-8-5-5-2-1 win. Torres gets his ERA under 10 with 2 scoreless…..MacDadden was crushed, going 3.2-8-7-7-6-2.
CHI 13 EDM 5 (18-9 +1)

INJURY NEWS
Yep, 6 weeks. A strained PCL, thankfully not torn. But it’s 6 weeks. Lorenzelli will move in to play short, and Ferrer will get the call up.

GAME 28
Rogers moves to 5-0 with a 7-3-1-1-4-7 outing that was not as easy as it looked. Johnson and Sanchez get the 8th out of the way and Cruz reassures me there’s nothing wrong with a perfect 9th for his 6th Save. Avalanche SP Domingo Martinez goes the distance in 98 pitches (8-7-3-3-1-2). Collins had 2 hits and his 7th SB, Alexander was 2-3 with a triple and an RBI.
CHI 3 ALK 1 (19-9 +1)

DRAFT NEWS
Jorge Trujillo, ya another one, looks to be my target if by some miracle he lasts that deep into round 1. A 20 year old LH he’s mid 90’s right now, and a bonafide ace soon. His 2m ask is doable, too doable for him to last I think.

BIG GAMES
Rich Stone (FRE) went 5-6 in a 16-15 loss to New Hampshire today. He had 3 doubles, a triple and a HR (5) and drove in 4. He’s hitting .407-5-25.

Staten Island’s Ramon Ortiz moved to 4-1 2.57 with a 4 hit 7-0 win over El Paso today.

GAME 29
Ony Kamyshinski homered off former Iron Pig Riley Potts in the 9th and with 2 outs and runners on 2nd and 3rd. SS Alex Rodriguez booted a sure thing to tie the game. Chicago loaded the bases in the 10th and 11th with less than 2 outs and came away with nothing before Ernesto Gutierrez hit a 2 out 2 strike double down the left field line to score Collins for the walk off win. Curt Daugherty struggled again (5-5-5-2-2) and there’s a discussion to be made on his status. Ken Johnson went 3 scoreless in relief to hold the line before the game winning rally. 1B Tony Gonzalez went 3- 4 with 3 RBI’s on a double and 2 HR’s (3) and Troy Glaus hit his 6th in a 3-4 day. Paul Riggs went 2-5 with a double, Hudson 2-6 with 3 RBI’s, Ron Miller hit his 5th in a 1-2 4 walk day and Luis Chavez went 3-4.
CHI 8 ALK 7 (20-9 +2)

ROSTER CHATTER
There is conversation that it might be time to give 20 year old Gerardo Zamora a shot. Get Daugherty some relief back in Tulsa in a stress free setting to find his wits…… He pitched 2 days ago, so I have a few days to think about it.

Also, Pedro Salinas is now hitting .295/.392/.459 after an abysmal start. I need to start pondering the move. He needs to DH, has to DH honestly. The first thought is a major deal, and Gutierrez would be the guy I’d likely move, moving Collins to CF, Chavez into left. It weakens my D something fierce though. Barring an injury I’d really like to hold him off until September, and do something under no stress this winter. I’ll float Gutierrez’s name anyway, just to shake the tree.

And holy crap the names that come back…. Stars all over the screen…A Tunstall….and some others…Wonder what it’d take for a Vince Bray….

GAME 30
Zito no-hit us for 6. Lorenzelli broke it up with a 1-2 single to right with 1 out in the 7th, and he was replaced. Collins singled to put runners on the corners but Meikleham punched out Ferrer and got Chavez on an F8.
Their pen holds us to the 1 hit over the final 2.2, with Potts getting his 3rd Save. Walker goes 6-7-2-2-3-4 to fall to 2-2. Collins stole 2 bases (10).
ALK 2 CHI 0 (20-10 +2)

LEAGUE NEWS
DANG! Commish is serious. A 10 game suspension for fighting for Angelo Gomez (COL) and Michigan's Rafael Rosales.

BIG GAMES
Las Vegas RF Bob White, a 24 year old in his 4th season in Vegas, went 4-4 with 6 RBI’s, 4 Runs on 3 homers in a 14-2 win over San Antonio. White is hitting .267-11-31.

GAME 31
The pen blows another one. A Paul Riggs error didn't help but Randy Pennington surrenders a 2 run PH homer to Ted Long in the bottom of the 7th to turn a 3-2 lead into a 5-3 deficit. Alejandrez was good, going 6-5-2-2-2-3. Bill Alexander went 3-4 with 3 RBI’s on a double and his 5th HR.
MICH 5 CHI 4 (20-11 +2)

INJURY NEWS
The Baltimore Railcats learned they will be without 25 year old slugging 2B Randolph Boyd for at least the next month after he strained a hip. Boyd is hitting .273-6-16 on the year after a .309-30-129 season last year.

MINORS NEWS
Bison 2015 #1 pick Carlos Torres pounded 3 homers in a Class A Southern League game yesterday. He’s hitting .346-7-27 in 34 games at Reno.

GAME 32
Ken Lee gave up 4 runs on 5 straight hits to lead off the game. A hitter away from the hook he ended up grinding into the 6th going 5.1-9-5-5-0-3 for his 6th (6-0). Winston (H8), Torres and Garcia went 3.2-1-0-0-0-7 but Torres had to come out with an arm issue we have not heard on yet. Gutierrez went 3-6 with 3 runs on 2 doubles, Hugh Collins went 2-5 with 2 RBI’s on his 8th homer and Luis Chavez hit his 7th and drove in 3. Alexander was 3-5 with 2 RBI’s and is hitting .365 now. Eric Hudson was 3-5 also. Paul Riggs hit 2 doubles in a 2-4 day.
CHI 11 MICH 5 (21-11 +3)

INJURY NEWS
3 time All Star Closer Bill Barlow (DAY) is likely to miss the rest of the 2016 season after undergoing elbow surgery today. The 30 year old is coming off a 40 save 2.40 year and was 0-0 with 4 Saves for a struggling Dayton club (10-22 11 GB). Yohann Diffenderfer will assume the closer duties for Dayton.

No word on Torres.

GAME 33
Rogers (5-1) battles into the 8th but the Battlecat pitching was too much. He goes 7-7-2-2-2-6 and Pennington allows his inherited runner to score on yet another homer. Luis Chavez was 2-4 with 2 doubles. Steve Hurst (3-1 3.27) went 6.2-6-0-0-3-4 and Sherman Jacobs got his 6th Save. Spencer Moore went 3-4 in the win.
