Week 5 snapshot
Record last week:2-4 (Overall:12-18 )
Run Differential:-14 (Overall:-44)
Standings: 9th, 8GB

Game Recaps
Game 24: Loss 1-11 vs. Cancun, pitching gets shelled
Game 25: Loss 0-6 vs. Cancun, Melgoza gives up 6, offense only produces 2 hits
Game 26: Win 6-2 vs. Cancun, Bravos take advantage of a good Shirley start
Game 27: Loss 4-5 at Tijuana, close game dropped by Lee
Game 28: Loss 5-7 at Tijuana, Garcia’s 5 ER too much to overcome
Game 29: Win 5-4 at Tijuana, Cruz and Bell heroes in close win

News and Notes

There have been more trade rumors about teams inquiring about Mike Bell, including the New York Bucks. The Bravos would benefit greatly from gaining some prospects, especially some pitching.

After this week’s games, the Bravos optioned Miguel Cruz to AAA. He started 6 games, pitched 24 innings and posted a 9.85 ERA. The team is hoping he can work out a few mechanical issues in the minors. In a corresponding move the team selected the contract of Mike Bixler, the 26 year old southpaw who will be making his major league debut this week.

Highlights

Shirley and Garcia’s ERA has dropped into the 6s, which is an improvement. It’s kind of sad that two starters in the 6s is a highlight, but that’s just the state of the pitching right now.

The offense continues to dominate with 6 players posting a wRC+ over 100, lead by Berry Henry with a 156.

Lowlights

Starters ERA is sitting at 7.49, good enough for last place in BOTA. Looking at the AAA roster, I think it’ll be time to start giving some of those arms a chance in the bigs.

Looking Ahead

3 game series at Los Angeles Stars (11-19, 10th)
3 game series vs Chicago (16-14, 4th)
