6/2-6/4/70 @ Washington
Having played 2 months of the season, I decided that it would be a good time to check and see if any prospects seemed like a bad fit for their level. I found a few that I'm going to promote to a level that might be more of a challenge for them. Among other moves, here are two that will be moving that are on my top prospects list.
LF Joseph Talley- Our number 3 prospect in the organization is hitting .343 through his first 99 PA at AA Mobile. I just called him up to AA, but AAA Tucson is short on hitters anyway because of injuries. Let's see how he does in the desert.
1B Lamar Johnson- Our fourth best prospect is hitting .361 with 7 homers in Appleton. He can replace Talley in the middle of the Mobile lineup.
SP Rich Gossage- With AA Mobile short on pitching due to injury, and our number 1 prospect 5-3 with a 2.50 ERA for class-A Duluth, I want to see how he does in AA.
6/2/70 Senators 3 White Sox 2
It looked like Ken Frailing was going to be in for a long day. He gave up a triple to lead-off hitter Ed Stroud and allowed him to score with a wild pitch. Then he settled in and only allowed one more earned run before leaving the game with a minor elbow injury in the fifth. Unfortunately, we weren't able to score more than two runs against Dick Bosman.
6/3/70 White Sox 7 Senators 1
Joe Horlen gave us 9 strong innnings of 4-hit ball, and Bill Melton and Ed Herrmann each slugged their ninth home runs.
6/4/70 Senators 4 White Sox 2
I knew that scoring against Joe Coleman would be difficult, so I pinch-hit for Gerry Janeski in the fourth inning when we were down 3-1. Unfortunately, pinch-hitting for the pitcher over the last 6 innings of the game didn't add much offense. Coleman was too good, and Mike Epstein hit his 12th homer for Washington, which puts him in second place behind teammate Frank Howard.
Record: 21-32
