Chicago Bruins (9-8) 2nd in VL West (Portland Moose in 1st) ½ GB
65 Runs Scored (7th in VL)
71 runs against (3rd in VL)
3.88 Starters ERA (5th in VL)
3.83 Bullpen ERA (5th in VL)
.691 Defensive Eff. (3rd in VL)

Game 1: Both pitchers played like their usual selves today, which created a low scoring affair. Nick Hampton gave up 3 earned runs in 7 innings, but the performance wasn’t enough, as he got outpitched by Danny Ortiz. Ortiz breezed through 7 innings without letting Chicago score before he gave up 2 earned runs in the 8th off of Bobby Rittmeyer and Collin Coy hits. Balderrama and Scott Fitzhugh got Chicago through the 8th and 9th without a scratch, but the offense wasn’t able to capitalize on any opportunities. (Pioineers: 3 Bruins: 2)

Moose 1B Carlos Avila’s 25 game hit streak was snapped.

Game 2: The Bruins’ offense finally came alive, scoring in 6 innings, while also pitching a decent game. 6 different Bruins (Pedro Centeno, Carlos Pirelli, Ed Olloqui, Francisco Serna, Bobby Rittmeyer, and T.J Keough) recorded 2 or more base hits, including Ed Olloqui’s first homer of the year and a 420 ft. shot by T.J. Keough. Everyone in the lineup got on base today. Soudai Tomita pitched pretty well, throwing 7.2 innings of 3 run ball with 8 Ks. Jason Goodman came in to close out the Pioneers, and gave up a run in the 9th, bringing his ERA to 16.62. (Bruins: 10 Pioneers: 4)

Game 3: The Pioneers struck Alex Ramirez early with a Sergio Camacho double followed by a Phil Riely 2 run shot. Something didn’t seem right with Ramirez’s motion, so Castro luckily ordered Hoshi Kawai to check on Ramirez. “My arm feels a little off. After 3 outs, I’ll give you an update. Just let me pitch.” “Be careful, alright Alex? You got this.” Ramirez gave up another double, and then induced a ground out. With 2 outs and an 0-2 count on David de Santiago, Alex Ramirez fired in a slider to strike de Santiago out. As soon as Ramirez winced and collapsed to the ground, I had a feeling that I knew how this would end up. Worst of all, he was clutching his right elbow, one he had injured 3 times in the past. Ramirez was carted off as a hushed Chicago crowd watched in shock. Chicago later scored in the 6th from a Robbie Sandoval single, but little noise was made as Chicago fans worried about Ramirez and watched the offense get mowed down by Justin Iverson. (Pioneers: 3 Bruins: 1)

I feared the worst for Ramirez, and the worst case scenario is what turned out to happen.

Game Over for Ramirez: And so ends the career of Alex Ramirez. The Chicago starting pitcher, diagnosed with a damaged elbow ligament, has announced his retirement from baseball. Ramirez held an impromptu press conference with reporters in the team's clubhouse, at which he described the battery of tests he had recently undergone. "The results were less than encouraging," he said. "But I got to live my dream. How many people can say that?" And so the dream has come to an end.

Series notes: We lost another series. This trend needs to end. Our bullpen looks shaky, our offense is inconsistent, and our starting pitching is good, but not enough to carry us. Serna and Rittmeyer look like the stars right now, but both were 0-4 in game 3. If they become cold, we are in big trouble.
