Wednesday, September 18, Year II

We placed LF Tony Casarez (20-L) on the Disabled List and recalled RP Barry Chapman (27-R), because our Bullpen is spent right at the moment. Chapman was not all that great in Vancouver (AAA). He had a 3.33 ERA, walking 11 and giving up 3 HR in 27 IP. But he only gave up 16 hits. And he is fairly fresh, which is the main thing...

The San Diego Padres are in town to play 2 games. They just lost 2 in Los Angeles and have lost 7 in a row and 13 of their last 14. They finished August winning 11 of 12 and have started September losing 13 of 15. We are 11-2 against them on the season and won 3 of 4 the last time they were in the Skydome, June 13-16. The Padres are 8th in the PCL in scoring with 3.95 runs per game (Portland is #6 with 4.21). They are 6th in fewest runs allowed with 3.97 per game (Portland is #1 with 3.14).

San Diego Padres (81-70 .536 14 GB in 3rd place in the PCL West) at
Portland Beavers (95-56 .629 in 1st place in the PCL West)

SD: Mike Nackley (28-L 13-13 3.23) PCL CY 2 time All-Star vs. POR: Don Panighetti (26-L 12-8 2.81) 2 time All-Star

Nackley, who was the lights out best pitcher in baseball last year, has fallen on hard times of late. He last lost his last 4 starts and allowed at least 4 runs each time. We are 3-0 against him this year, though he did have one really good game against us.

Panighetti had a no decision last time out, allowing 3 runs and 7 hits and 3 BB in 5 IP.
