Subject: Week 14 Notes

Record: 50-39, .562, 9.5 GB
Position: 2nd place (behind Milwaukee)
Runs Scored: 409 – 4th in Federal
Runs Allowed: 349 – 3rd in Federal
Defense: .715 – 1st in Federal (t-1st in CBA)
Power Ranking: 96.1 (9th in CBA)
Owner Mood: Happy (declining); Fan Interest: 90/100

• Last week (2-5): 2-1 vs. Los Angeles, 0-4 at Salt Lake City
• SP Domingo Lopez was called up and LH reliever Bruce Irvine was optioned to AAA. Ben Gentry will assume the long relief role, leaving only one lefty in the pen.
• 07/04: LOU 4, LA 1 – Bowles 8 IP, 1 ER, 5 H, 1 BB, 5 K, W (5-4, 4.80 ERA)
• 07/05: LOU 6, LA 1 – Lopez 9 IP, 1 ER, 8 H, 1 BB, 8 K, 126p/78s, nice ML debut
• Minor league closer Luis Espinosa (age 21, throws R, 3-star potential) was claimed off waivers from Pittsburgh.
• 07/06: LA 3, LOU 2 – Hicks (LA) 8 IP, 2 ER, 9 H, 1 BB, 5 K, W (11-5, 3.33 ERA)
• San Diego traded 39 y/o RF Brock Richardson to Providence for a prospect. This move by a division rival puts more pressure on NY GM Buck Welsh to make a deal.
• We head to Salt Lake City, where the 41-45 Bees have changed their focus from “Win Now” to “Neutral” even though they are in second place.
• 07/07: SLC 3, LOU 0 – Rosario (SLC) 6 IP, 0 ER, 8 H, 1 BB, 4 K, W (9-7, 2.56)
• Houston closer Ronald Richard will retire at age 31 after a setback in his recovery from a torn UCL. He won the 2013 Best Pitcher Award and has 241 career saves.
• 07/08: SLC 6, LOU 4 – Trauttmann 4 IP, 5 ER, 9 H, 0 BB, 2 K, L (7-8, 3.30 ERA)
• 07/09: SLC 10, LOU 8 – inconsistent rookie Bowles was knocked around early
• 07/10: SLC 6, LOU 3 – inconsistent rookie Lopez went 8 innings allowing all 6 runs one or two at a time
• I initially bid on several international amateur free agents but the price became way too steep for 16-year-olds and I am no longer in contention to sign any of them.
• This week: All-Star break followed by the annual inter-league weekend special featuring a home (2) & away (2) series vs. the Washington Generals (43-46).
