I've decided to try a different format, covering weekly recaps instead of the game by game.

Week 1 snapshot
Record last week: 3-3 (Overall: 3-3)
Run Differential: +5 (Overall: +5)
Standings: 4th, 1GB

Game Recaps
Game 1: LOS 4 - LEO 13, Henry crushes the stars
Game 2: LOS 13 - LEO 6, Rough outing for the pitching staff
Game 3: LOS 6 - LEO 11, Henry dominates again
Game 4: LEO 2 - PHI 3, Bravos couldn’t overcome a 3 run 1st
Game 5: LEO 1 - PHI 4, Leon bats quiet in lowest scoring affair this year
Game 6: LEO 7 - PHI 5, Bats alive again with 3 homers

News and Notes

Berry Henry, the Bravos Right Fielder was selected as the PBOTA Player of the Week. This marks the first award earned by a Leon player, and he deserves it for the hot start this year. Over the first week he racked up 10 hits on 18 at-bats, hit 2 home runs and 5 RBI.

The Bravos held their breath during game 2 when CF Julio Martinez pulled up in pain after sliding into second base. He came out of the game, but after further evaluation it was determined to be nothing more than a sore back. He didn’t miss any playing time.

Highlights

In addition to Henry’s hot start, the Bravos have benefitted from several players starting the season out crushing the ball. The team has 6 players who have a wRC+ of at least 163, including two over 200 (Henry and Martinez). Obviously, this is such a small sample that it is hard to put stock in it, but we will still enjoy it for now.

Lowlights

As I suspected, pitching will be the challenge for this team. The starting rotation has had a really rough start with a collective 6.15 ERA placing them at 8th in PBOTA. The bullpen hasn’t done much better with a 4.15 ERA and sitting at 5th.

The Bravos starting catcher, Joaquin Garcia has had a rough first week at the plate, which to some extent is to be expected, but he went 2 for 14 with 2 singles.

Looking Ahead

The Bravos continue their road trip visiting Tijuana and Chicago. They will face the twister’s ace in game 9, Edgar Zapien, which will prove to be a difficult matchup.

Game 8: At Tijuana Twisters (Shirley)
Game 9: At Tijuana Twisters (Barrett)
Game 10: At Tijuana Twisters (Brutus)
Game 11: At Chicago Blaze (Cruz)
Game 12: At Chicago Blaze (Melgoza)
Game 13: At Chicago Blaze (Shirley)
