Bottom of the Third:

Top of the Sixth:

Bottom of the Sixth:
Dave Risinger leads off with a home run to right!! Tie game: 4 to 4. That is his 2nd home run in the last 3 games! Only 4 on the year.

Top of the Eighth:
Luis Hernandez draws a full count walk. Call to the Bullpen: Roger Lerer (28-L). With 1 out, Carlos Lopez gets jammed but muscles a pop fly hit to right and Hernandez goes to 3rd.

That's one chance gone... Juan Rojas smashes one on the ground to the hole on the left side and 3B Ronaldo Entrevinhas makes a diving stop and throws Rojas out and the runners hold...

Jack Hinckley grounds out to short.

Top of the Ninth:
Who can preserve a 3 run lead when we have already used Roy Huls? David Fuentes went 3 innings yesterday, so he is out. I guess we will go with Garry Ayers (29-R). He strikes out a pair and then walks Juan Garza. Ronaldo Entrevinhas bounces one back to the mound, but P Ayers boots it.... That brings the tying run up in the person of Luis Hernandez, the ex-Beaver who hit 41 HR and had 132 RB1 last year.... He swings at the first pitch and pops out to 2nd and THIS Ball Game Belongs to the Beavers!

We are in Kansas City to play the Royals a 4 game series through the weekend. They just beat the Astros in a pair of games here. We lost 3 of 4 to them in Portland, April 8-11. They are 6th in scoring in the PCL with 4.32 runs per game (Portland is 4th with 4.38). The Royals lead with PCL in fewest runs allowed with 3.05 per game (Portland is 7th with 4.10). Their team ERA is 2.71. Their Bullpen ERA is a league best 2.09. Our Bullpen has been a bit better of late and its ERA is down to 3.81, but still worse than the league average of 3.41. The Royals run differential is +142, the 2nd best in Baseball. The best is, believe or not, the Minnesota Twins at +143, who are 12 games behind the Royals in the standings. Ours is +32.

Portland Beavers (55-58 .487 23.5 GB in 4th place in the PCL West) at
Kansas City Royals (76-36 .679 in 1st place in the PCL East)

POR: Steve Muir (27-R 11-7 2.79) Gold Glove vs. KC: Al Johnson (22-R 20-3 1.77) Cy Young/RoY/2-time All-Star

Muir is 4-0 in his last 5 starts and allowed only 9 hits in his last two combined, both complete games. We have officially listed him as our #1 starter over Bobby Johnson.

Oh, how I wish had noticed that Al Johnson was 7' tall back at the B Leagues draft of 2001... I would have surely traded for him instead of Bobby Johnson. We have not faced him this year, but we were 1-1 against him last season. We beat him in his 2nd Major League start, but he shut us out the 2nd time on 4 hits.

Moe has gone at least 7 innings in 3 straight starts, but was only 1-0. He only gave up 5 hit and 1 run in 7 IP last time out at Kansas City, but had a no decision.

SAC: Jerry London (36-R 3-11 4.69) vs. POR: Duke McKenzie (24-R 2-4 4.89) Rookie

London has 3 straight no decisions where he allowed 2 or fewer runs. We faced him last year and beat him, but only scored 1 run in 7 IP.

McKenzie has allowed 9 runs and 15 hits in his last two starts (8 IP). He only lost one of the games, though. Another bad outing today and we will evaluate our options... Especially against the weak hitting lineup the Solons are running out there today.

Don Kelly lines out to 2nd! Bottom of the Eighth: Jim Shippy lines a hit to left center. Fernando Martinez doubles to right center and Shippy stops at 3rd. Dave Risinger swings at a 3-2 pitch and grounds out to 3rd and the runners hold... That's one chance gone... Juan Rojas smashes one on the ground to the hole on the left side and 3B Ronaldo Entrevinhas makes a diving stop and throws Rojas out and the runners hold... That's two chances gone... PH Don Neumann (32-S) swings at a 1-2 pitch and drives it over the head of the center fielder for a double and both runners score!! 6 to 4, Beavers! That does it for P Marty Becker. New Pitcher: Victor Alvarez (28-L) with a 3.61 ERA and 60 SO in 47.1 IP. Jose Julio grounds a hit to left and Neumann heads home...safe! 7 to 4, Beavers! Jack Hinckley grounds out to short. Top of the Ninth: Who can preserve a 3 run lead when we have already used Roy Huls? David Fuentes went 3 innings yesterday, so he is out. I guess we will go with Garry Ayers (29-R). He strikes out a pair and then walks Juan Garza. Ronaldo Entrevinhas bounces one back to the mound, but P Ayers boots it.... That brings the tying run up in the person of Luis Hernandez, the ex-Beaver who hit 41 HR and had 132 RB1 last year.... He swings at the first pitch and pops out to 2nd and THIS Ball Game Belongs to the Beavers! Won - 7 to 4 We had 12 hits and made 2 errors Seattle had 8 hits and made no errors Rondey Moe went 7+ innings, allowed 4 runs (3 earned), 7 hits, 1 home run, 2 walks (1 INT) and struck out 7.

RF Jose Julio had 2 hits with a triple, scored a run and had an RBI. 3B Fernando Mexicano had 2 hits, scored a run and had an RBI. C Jim Shippy had 2 hits with a double and scored 2 runs.

Posts: 16,142	Thursday, August 8, 2002 We are in Kansas City to play the Royals a 4 game series through the weekend. They just beat the Astros in a pair of games here. We lost 3 of 4 to them in Portland, April 8-11. They are 6th in scoring in the PCL with 4.32 runs per game (Portland is 4th with 4.38). The Royals lead with PCL in fewest runs allowed with 3.05 per game (Portland is 7th with 4.10). Their team ERA is 2.71. Their Bullpen ERA is a league best 2.09. Our Bullpen has been a bit better of late and its ERA is down to 3.81, but still worse than the league average of 3.41. The Royals run differential is +142, the 2nd best in Baseball. The best is, believe or not, the Minnesota Twins at +143, who are 12 games behind the Royals in the standings. Ours is +32. Portland Beavers (55-58 .487 23.5 GB in 4th place in the PCL West) at Kansas City Royals (76-36 .679 in 1st place in the PCL East) POR: Steve Muir (27-R 11-7 2.79) Gold Glove vs. KC: Al Johnson (22-R 20-3 1.77) Cy Young/RoY/2-time All-Star Muir is 4-0 in his last 5 starts and allowed only 9 hits in his last two combined, both complete games. We have officially listed him as our #1 starter over Bobby Johnson. Oh, how I wish had noticed that Al Johnson was 7' tall back at the B Leagues draft of 2001... I would have surely traded for him instead of Bobby Johnson. We have not faced him this year, but we were 1-1 against him last season. We beat him in his 2nd Major League start, but he shut us out the 2nd time on 4 hits.

Flores pitched a 1 hit shutout on his last start and beat an All-Star pitcher, so no worries...

Posts: 16,142	Friday, August 16, 2002 The Sacramento Solons are here to play a 3 game series over the weekend. They just won 3 of 4 in Houston. We are 6-3 against them on the season and split a pair of games the last time they visited us, July 2-3. They are 15th in scoring in the PCL with 3.68 runs per game (Portland is down to 6th with 4.30). The Solons are 8th in fewest runs allowed with 4.14 per game (Portland is 6th with 4.05). Their run differential is -56 and ours is +30. The Solons were 1 of 2 teams in the PCL (Denver) who did not have a player make the All-Star team this season. Denver is the only team in Baseball to not have any players chosen in the past two seasons. Sacramento's one All-Star from last season, 2B Jim Holberton, is currently on the DL.

He is 0-1 against us in 2 starts this year, but had Quality Starts both times. Moe has gone at least 7 innings in 3 straight starts, but was only 1-0. He only gave up 5 hit and 1 run in 7 IP last time out at Kansas City, but had a no decision.

We faced him last year and beat him, but only scored 1 run in 7 IP. McKenzie has allowed 9 runs and 15 hits in his last two starts (8 IP). He only lost one of the games, though.

That does it for P Jerry London. New Pitcher: Tom Butterworth (26-R), making his Major League debut. His wife is Mrs. Butterworth! She makes the BEST pancakes! He had a 1.73 ERA and 37 SV in B Ball last year, but has not pitched anywhere in nearly a year. No rehab; just throwing him to the wolves. Does not seem very nice...
