Raccoons (39-30) @ Indians (28-40) – June 21-23, 2004

The Indians weren’t doing much of anything. They had the worst batting average, allowed the most runs, and had the worst rotation with an ERA over five. The season series was split, however, 3-3. But the Raccoons were the Raccoons, and worst of all, Nick Brown wouldn’t pitch in this series, so no wins for us!

Projected matchups:
Randy Farley (5-6, 4.58 ERA) vs. Alonso Alonso (2-2, 4.57 ERA)
Ralph Ford (4-5, 4.58 ERA) vs. Jack Hamilton (1-8, 7.24 ERA)
Edgar Amador (5-4, 4.28 ERA) vs. Anthony Mosher (5-7, 4.07 ERA)

Game 1
POR: 3B Sharp – 2B Nomura – RF Brady – 1B Martin – CF King – C Ledesma – LF Tyler – SS Sheehan – P Farley
IND: 2B D. Mendez – SS Stevens – LF Alston – 1B D. Lopez – C Paraz – CF MacKey – RF P. Taylor – 3B Kilters – P Alonso

Alonso pitched only two innings before he left the game with an injury. Through three innings, the Raccoons had three runners but no hits and didn’t score, while Farley walked the bases full in front of the slugging trio in the heart of the Indians’ lineup and got out with a pair of RBI singles by Alston and Lopez. Two out in the bottom 5th, there was a runner on first for the Indians, and Martin made an error and dropped Nomura’s throw for what would have been the third out on David Lopez. Instead, Farley issued another three walks for seven total before getting yanked, flogged, tarred, and feathered. And the Raccoons? Still without a hit. The first hit they got was a 2-run homer by Al Martin off Patrick Moreau, ERA over six, collecting Brady, and cutting the gap to 4-2. They would manage only two more singles, and remove both on inning-ending double plays. 4-2 Indians. Williams 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K;

Well, are they pathetic or what!?

Wow. Just wow.

Game 2
POR: 3B Sharp – CF King – LF Reece – 1B Martin – C Thomas – RF Beairsto – 2B M. Ramirez – SS Sheehan – P Ford
IND: 2B D. Mendez – RF Cortez – LF Alston – 3B D. Lopez – C Paraz – CF P. Taylor – SS Stevens – 1B Kilters – P Hamilton

Ford struck out six in the first three innings, not allowing any runs, and with two men on base got a key strikeout to Art Stevens to survive the fourth inning without a score, too. The Coons had tallied one hit through four against a total joke of a pitcher toeing anxiously against the rubber. The second hit for the Coons came in the sixth inning, when Sharp singled with one out. Reece worked a lucky walk, having struck out twice already, and once the total joke had wild-pitched the runners into scoring position, Martin singled through into left field and the runners scored. Up 2-0 became 2-1 right away on Ron Alston’s leadoff jack in the bottom of the inning, but that run was gotten back from Hamilton in the seventh when Sharp singled in Beairsto. No reason for happy feelings, though. Ford put two men on with singles, then was whacked by Cortez and Alston with doubles. Corkum allowed Alston to score as well and the Indians, who were never hitting and were pitching like crap, put up a 4-spot. This was not something the Raccoons were able to come back from, getting the first two men on base in the eighth or not. They only scored on a balk, and that run got away from Corkum again, too. 6-4 Indians. Sharp 2-5, RBI; Martin 2-4, 2 RBI; Ramirez 1-2, 2 BB;

Game 3
POR: 3B Sharp – RF Brady – C Thomas – 1B Martin – CF King – LF Beairsto – 2B M. Ramirez – SS Sheehan – P Amador
IND: 2B D. Mendez – SS Stevens – LF Alston – 1B D. Lopez – C Paraz – CF MacKey – RF Martines – 3B I. Burns – P Mosher

More of the same, more of the same. The Fat Cat was wonky with control, didn’t keep the ball on the ground, but the Indians didn’t make very good contact either and allowed Amador to go seven shutout innings that had absolutely no sparkle to them. The Raccoons in those seven innings reached third base once, with the help of an error, and didn’t score either. Neil Reece hit for Amador to start the top 8th, singled to left, and was on second when Sharp singled. No outs. Brady lined out to Mendez, but Thomas FINALLY came through and hit a double up the left foul line that scored Reece, but not Sharp, who had to wait for Martin’s single that made it 2-0. Then Matt King grounded into his second double play of the day. All that work quickly went bust when Alston homered off Moreno in the eighth, and while Williams survived a triple by Matt MacKey, Bruno blew the save in the ninth after a leadoff double by Miguel Cortez. Yay, more extra innings. But it didn’t take long to lose this one. David Lopez gladly took Angel Casas deep in the bottom of the tenth. 3-2 Indians. Sharp 2-5; Brady 2-5; Reece (PH) 1-1; Amador 7.0 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 3 K;

How very pointless is our very existence.

We sent for Alejandro Rojas to join us the following day, needing another bat off the bench. Angel Casas wasn’t going to help us with anything anyway.

Raccoons (39-33) @ Condors (31-41) – June 25-27, 2004

Oh, look, it’s the team with the second-lowest batting average! They were still scoring runs through extra-base power, ranking sixth in the Continental League in offense. They gave up the fourth-most runs. We are 2-1 over them this year. Gonna change that to 3-3 at least, depending how Brownie’s gonna fare.

Projected matchups:
Felipe Garcia (4-7, 5.40 ERA) vs. Manuel Pineda (9-3, 3.75 ERA)
Nick Brown (10-2, 2.97 ERA) vs. Brian Patrick (1-3, 5.47 ERA)
Randy Farley (5-7, 4.64 ERA) vs. Kelvin Yates (3-10, 4.90 ERA)

The interesting thing about the last of these three right-handers? Yates is second in the league in strikeouts (to Brown), yet has lost double digits already in late June!

Game 1
POR: 3B Sharp – 2B Nomura – RF Brady – 1B Martin – C Ledesma – LF Beairsto – CF King – SS Sheehan – P F. Garcia
TIJ: SS A. Simon – C Cicalina – CF R. Perez – 1B B. Román – RF B. Miller – 2B Stein – LF MacGruder – 3B N. Chavez – P Pineda

With the Condors bringing a heavily left-handed lineup to the plate, all except the battery, not much was expected from Garcia, who was just getting pummeled relentlessly by anybody capable of holding a stick. Bartolo Román took a bite out of him with a 2-run homer in the first inning, with another loss coming up in a hurry. We also had our share of left-handers playing, but they weren’t doing anything to Pineda. In the fifth inning, the right handers hit singles, King up the middle, Sheehan to left center, and after a bunt by Garcia then Sharp to left, with Sharp driving in the runners to tie the score. Garcia responded to the help by walking the leadoff man, Arthur Simon, in the fifth, but the defense kept digging him out, with Sharp starting a double play on Cicalina’s ground ball, and Brady stretched pretty well to snag Ramón Perez’ fly to right. Al Martin homered in the top 6th to put the Coons up 3-2. And Garcia? Walked the leadoff man. Miller’s rocket was caught in mid-flight by Sheehan, but it was enough for Garcia. The sucker was removed and pelted, with Williams coming in, walking Jim Stein, and then surrendering a 2-out, 2-run double to Nelson Chavez. Pineda was still going in the eighth, got Sharp, but Nomura singled and Brady doubled, bringing the tying and go-ahead runs into scoring position with one out and Martin next. But Martin walked, Ledesma flew out to shallow center, and Beairsto grounded out to short, and nobody scored. In turn, the Condors got an unearned run off Huerta, with Huerta making the error himself, and I still think in that case runs should not count for zero, but ten-fold against the ERA. 5-3 Condors. Brady 2-4, 2B; Martin 2-3, BB, HR, RBI;

So, by logical extension this gives us a win for Brownie in the middle game, then another gut-tearing loss on Sunday with Farley messing around.

Game 2
POR: 3B Sharp – 2B Nomura – RF Brady – 1B Martin – C Ledesma – LF Reece – CF Tyler – SS Sheehan – P Brown
TIJ: 2B Heathershaw – RF B. Miller – C Cicalina – CF R. Perez – LF Bayle – 1B Cambria – SS Stein – 3B N. Chavez – P Aguilar

No score through two, but early on it was clearly visible that Brown had left his stuff in Portland and that Aguilar was dominating the lineup the visitors’ fielded, except that he allowed the first run of the game on a solo home run by Brad Sheehan in the top 3rd. Bottom 3rd, Stein reached on a single, and Brown walked Chavez, until Aguilar’s bunt was skillfully played to third by Brown for the out on Stein, and that allowed Brown to wiggled out, nabbing only one K through three innings. Aguilar had five, but also surrendered his second leadoff jack in the top 4th, hit by Clyde Brady. And there was something with leadoff batters for the Coons in this game. Tyler sent a poor roller to third that Chavez gutted for a 2-base error, and Tyler would score on Sharp’s 2-out single to make it 3-0. Brown found something around the fourth inning and struck out the side in the fifth, holding the 3-0 lead. Aguilar then walked Brady to lead off the top 6th, but the Coons didn’t score for the first time since the second inning. Brown was untouchable by now. When the Condors made contact at all, it was poor. He shut them out over seven, was left in to retire the lefty Jim Stein, but was then removed since a go at a shutout would most likely pushed him towards 125 pitches, and we need him for another three months. Plus 12 years or so. Martinez finished the inning, and in the top 9th Shane Sweet loaded the bags with no outs. After Sheehan whiffed, Beairsto managed a run-scoring groundout, but we did get a bigger tally when Sharp walked and Nomura singled home a pair. Sharp 2-4, BB, RBI; Nomura 2-5, 2 RBI; Brown 7.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 9 K, W (11-2);

If Nick “One Man Army” Brown won’t win Pitcher of the Month, I’ll blow up the ABL headquarters. I’m as serious as sulphuric acid.

Game 3
POR: 3B Sharp – 2B Nomura – RF Brady – 1B Martin – C Ledesma – LF Reece – CF Tyler – SS Sheehan – P Farley
TIJ: SS A. Simon – 2B Stein – LF Reya – CF R. Perez – 1B B. Román – RF B. Miller – C Estrada – 3B N. Chavez – P Yates

Brownie had been one strikeout ahead of Yates before his start on Saturday, in which he fanned nine, thus growing his lead to ten. The Critters in this game were NO help to keeping him in front. Yates matched Brown when he fanned Farley to start the top 6th in a scoreless game with three singles total. He got Martin and Ledesma in the seventh, leaving Brownie in his dust, and the Critters were hopeless at the plate. Although Farley DOUBLED with Sheehan at first, Sharp struck out to end the eighth still without a score. Bottom 8th, Jeff MacGruder and Hugues Cambria led off the inning with a pair of doubles. That knocked out Farley, and the team as a whole. Cambria scored on a throwing error by Brady. 2-0 Condors. Sheehan 2-3; Farley 7.0 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 6 K, L (5-8) and 1-3, 2B;

In other news

June 25 – CHA LF/RF/1B Jose Lugo (.314, 2 HR, 22 RBI) faces missing up to a full year with a ruptured medial collateral ligament.
June 26 – The Crusaders acquire 26-yr old 2B Todd Moultrie (.333, 2 HR, 16 RBI) from the Cyclones in exchange for 1B Bill Tinker (.275, 7 HR, 24 RBI). The Crusaders also receive Jose Andrade, the Cyclones’ 2003 second-rounder.
June 26 – Denver’s Victor Bernal (8-6, 3.46 ERA) spins a 3-hitter in a 7-0 shutout over the Cyclones.
June 27 - While the Gold Sox fell 7-6 to the Cyclones, it was a big night for one player: 41-year old LF Dale Wales (.328, 3 HR, 21 RBI) picked up two hits to break through the 3,500 hits mark! The landmark knock is a first inning RBI double off Jeremy Peterson. Wales, who has been an All Star nine times after being picked second overall in the amateur draft *24* years ago, ends the day with 3,501 base hits, just 81 off the ABL record mark of 3,582 set by Jeffery Brown.

Complaints and stuff

There are no words.

Few notes, despite the fact that there are no words.
• We will get Eddie Torrez back from the DL on Monday. We could dump any outfielder except for Brady, but in reality, it will be Tyler. Concie is a week off, Marv a few days longer, but Concie should help a great deal.
• No Raccoon other than Brownie has won a game in three weeks. See also this thread: http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...ever-seen.html
• And yes, this will be losing season number eight. At the current pace, we will drop below .500 on July 5 in Milwaukee, a Felipe Garcia start (unless he gets shot before)

And Ledesma? He raised his CS% all the way up to 12.5% this week! Yeah, you go, Pablo!
