WEEK 8

Interest has bumped a tad, to 62. Averaging 38.5 a game, down on last years number and 23rd in the league.
3 vs Green Bay (24-15 3 GB MW 1st time seeing them since we swept them in the season opening series, are they for real?)
3 vs Staten Island (17-22 10 GB EM)
1 @ El Paso (23-16 1 GB WE)

GAME 40
They’re legit all right. They’ve called up young 2B Chase Utley by the way. Helton went 2-4 (now at .401). Former Roughrider Dave Miller went 2-3 with 2 solo HR’s (10). Denny Walker went 6-6-5-5-2-6 and gave up 3 solo shots. Down 5-4 entering the 9th Hugh Collins hit a 1 out double and Bill Alexander got his 3rd hit of the night next, a 2 run game winning walk off HR (6). Collins was 3-5 with a double, Alexander 3-5 2 RBI’s and Morgan 3-5 with a double. Luis Chavez was 3-4 with his 5th stolen base.
CHI 6 GB 5 (28-12 +4)

GAME 41
Young LF Josh Hamilton went 2-3 with 2 HR’s (10) but not to be outdone, 2B Paul Riggs had a 4-4 3 RBI night hitting a double (10) and his 1st 2016 HR. Ernesto Gutierrez was 2-4 with 2 runs and Wes Morgan went 2-4 on a double (7) and an RBI. Alejandrez (5-1) went 8-5-3-3-2-4 and Jose Sanchez got the last 3 outs for Chicago’s 8th straight win.
CHI 7 GB 3 (29-12 +5)

BIG GAMES
Dayton right Bartolo Serrano spun a 4 hit shutout at Michigan today in a 12-0 win. Serrano is 2-7 5.28 on the year.

GAME 42
Up against former Chicago SP Carlos De La Torre (1-3 5.05 in 8 starts). Ken Lee is tied for the IBL lead in wins with 7 going into this game.
Lee (8-0) goes the distance, no hitting the Blizzard into the 6th and losing his shutout in the 8th (9-5-2-2-1-6). Bill Alexander’s 3rd inning Grand Slam (7) opens the scoring and Gutierrez goes 3-3 with 3 runs on a double (11) and his 1st HR. Hugh Collins hits his 9th.
CHI 9 GB 2 (30-12 +6)

GAME 43
Bryan Rogers takes his IBL leading 1.19 ERA into the game tonight, almost a full run ahead of the next pitcher (J.R. Robinson (BUF) 2.01).
Rogers (6-2) goes 6.2-8-4-1-3-7 with a Wes Morgan error costing us. Randy Pennington gives up yet another late inning HR to a lefty (and his ERA is now a bloated 6.46!) to make it a rout. Alejandro Villanueva went 3-5 with 2 HR’s (13) and 4 RBI’s. Hugh Collins was 3-3 with 2 RBI’s on a triple and Wes Morgan hit his IBL leading 17th HR.
SI 7 CHI 3 (30-13 +6)

OEG NEWS
Eric Arnold of Denison tossed a 2 hitter with 5 K’s to run his record to 3-1 1.99 in 8 starts this year.

GAME 44
A 2 run 4 hit first didn’t rattle the rookie, though I think it had more to do with working with backup catcher Rafael Flores for the first time than anything. He settled in to go 6-7-2-2-2-6 for his 1st IBL win. Jorge Sanchez tossed 2 perfect innings and Ernesto Cruz closed it out for his 10th save. Wes Morgan slammed his 18th HR, driving in 2 and Bill Alexander was 2-4 with his 8th HR, driving in our other 2 runs. Hugh Collins was 2-3 with 2 doubles (10).
CHI 4 SI 2 (31-13 +6)

GAME 45
Leaving your starter in too long, sound familiar? Walker (2-3) went a hitter or two, too long (8-10-4-4-0-5) giving up Alejandre Villanueva’s 14th HR in the 8th to turn a 2-1 lead into a 4-2 deficit. Travis Bryant was 3-4 for the Yankees as well. Chavez (8) and Kamy (5) went deep for Chicago. Kent Martin went 7.1-8-2-2-3-3 for his 1st win.
SI 6 CHI 3 (31-14 +5)

INJURY NEWS
Brooklyn Cyclone LF Dave Osborne will miss the remainder of the 2016 season after tearing his PCL in yesterday’s game. Unsure what this will mean for the 37 year olds career from here. He was hitting .310-7-29 in 43 games and is a lifetime .275/.363/.381 in 381 games. He spent the past 4 seasons in Sacramento.

GAME 46
El Paso’s Tony Ruiz hit’s a single, double and triple, scoring twice, and Artie Johnson battles (5-1) through a 6.2-9-1-1-1-3 and Paul Woodard tosses a perfect 9th for his 15th Save. 10 left on, 2 hit days from Riggs, Hudson, Miller and Chavez. Alejandrez (5-2) goes 6-4-2-2-2-6 in the loss.
EP 3 CHI 1 (31-15 +5)
