Tuesday, April 24, Year I

We are in Houston to play a short 2 game set with them in the Astrodome. We go from the easiest park to hit home runs in to the hardest. But it does not matter to us, because every park is near impossible for us to hit home runs in.... These will be the first games we play against the East division. The Astros took 3 of 4 here from the Oakland Oaks over the weekend. They are 6th in scoring with 3.8 runs per game (Portland is down to #11 at 3.4). They are 6th in runs allowed at 3.6 per game (Portland is 5th with a little lower 3.6).

Portland Beavers (9-10 .474 2 GB in 4th place in the PCL West) at
Houston Astros (11-9 .550 3.5 GB in 2nd place in the PCL East)

POR: Ron Wolf (27-R 1-2 8.20 ERA) vs. HOU: Pat Porter (24-R 1-0 1.00 ERA) Rookie

This will be Porter's second Major League start of his career. In his first, he pitched a CG 5 hitter, walking 1 and striking out 6 and allowing only 1 run.

Wolf is supposed to be our ace...

8 straight games we have scored 3 or fewer runs, but we are 4-4 during the stretch. I want to shake things up, but we do not really have many guys on the bench who might possibly hit better than the starters. Especially in the infield, where all the cold hitters reside. I am making one change and installing rookie Jeff Schottler in left field to give him a chance to show what he can do. We have not gotten many lefties to start him against in center. Howard McNeal has not been terrible, but he has not been all that great either, and he is 30 and Schottler is 24. Also, 3B Randy James is going to play for a bit to see if he is better than 39 year old Glenn Pearce. So far, James is 0 for 9 with 5 SO, so the answer is probably no. If he plays horribly as a starter, we will look to make a trade for a third baseman.
