1918 Spring Training Game 3

Game 3 is against the St Louis Browns, With Wilson OUT and Ruth Day-to-day our OF pickings were slim. Pitcher Walt Kinney has a rating in LF/RF but we didn’t need him and it’s a good thing as he’s no Ruth with the bat. Babe was used in the 6th inning as a Pinch Hitter when the bases got loaded and reached on an error, then he was quickly removed for obvious reasons. But he got a good show from the on deck circle as right before his at bat we had a “Streaker” delay the game with his bare assed silly knee’s bent running around behavior .Boston drops to 0-3 in Spring action with their second consecutive 1 run loss!

We also received news that Hack Miller will be out for 6 weeks and with our outfield pretty shallow due to Ruth’s playing both ways it’s time to shop for a bench player. We’ve decided to shop our oldest player 37 yr old 2B Hennie Wagner, while Hennie is not much with the bat ha has all green in the running department and should bring in some offers. Only one OF offered, CF Pete Johns from the St Louis Browns all I can say about him is his range is good and he doesn’t K much so looks like a perfect necessity trade and it’s a done deal!
