Recap
I just... I mean... I don't...

Do I even want to go on?

Getting swept in the double header is one thing, but letting the Saints take three of four? Just unacceptable... 1-5 drops us to two below .500, and with four losses of two or fewer runs, it's just beyond frustrating. Now 8.5 out, we're basically out without being out, and at this point we have to do everything we can to not finish below .500 for the first time since 1936. Our Pythagorean (73-65) would put us right behind the Kings and Stars (74-65) who are tied for third and just three out. Yay underperformance!

I'm not sure there's much worth mentioning, but the Jones Brothers hit pretty well! Johnnie was 1-for-2 with a double and run scored while Donnie was 3-for-7 with a double and run scored. Walt Pack was one of the few batters to not suck it up, 7-for-14 with 2 homers, 2 walks, 3 RBIs, and 5 runs scored. Billy Hunter was 7-for-16 with a homer, 2 runs, and 2 RBIs. Sal Pestilli was 6-for-21 with 2 triples, walks, RBIs, and 3 runs. And then the quartet of Eddie Howard, Bill Payne, Homer Guthrie, and Clark Car was 7-for-15. Otherwise? Plenty of failure...

Pitching? Well? Donnie had one good start -- so let's talk about that! He went all nine with 4 hits, 3 runs (2 earned), 5 walks, and 6 strikeouts. Oh wait, that was the loss.. In the win, he allowed 9 hits, 4 runs, and a walk with 6 strikeouts in the complete game win. Otherwise, all four of our starters allowed 4 or more runs, and the lone reliever, Ken Matson, allowed 4 hits, 3 run, and 3 walks in 2.2 innings. So yeah, not much to talk about this week...

Looking Ahead
Do I even want to??? Well...

Off to start the week, but then there's two against the Cannons (74-62), three against the Wolves (66-69), and then a double header against the Foresters (63-76) to finish the week.

I think that's all for today. Maybe if I feel like it I'll come back and edit things later. Or maybe not. Seems like this year is over and done with :/
