It was an okay 4-2 week to start the season, but there were a few concerns. The first being our temp ace Dave Rankin allowed 6 hits, 3 walks, and 8 runs in just a singe inning in our first game of the week. The rest of the starts went pretty well, with just Hank Spencer having a little trouble. He allowed 4 hits, 4 walks, and 3 runs with 2 strikeouts in his 4 innings. Dick Leudtke had the best start, 4.1 with 2 hits, a walk, and 2 strikeouts. Dick Lyons went 4 with 3 hits, a run and strikeout. Dick Reid went 4 with 2 hits, a run, and a walk. Dick Sexton went 4.1 with 4 hits, 2 walks, and 3 strikeouts. We also had two potential starters make multi inning relief appearances as Ace McSherry and George Johnson threw 5 and 4.2 innings a piece. McSherry allowed 4 hits, a run, and 2 walks while Johnson allowed 2 hits, a run, and a walk with 2 strikeouts.

On the bat side, Pete Asher had a strong first week as a Cougar, going 5-for-11 with a double and 3 RBI's. Slim Bloom was 5-for-9 with 2 walks, 2 RBI's, and 3 doubles. Mike Taylor was 5-for-13 with 5 walks and 6 RBI's. Lou Kelly, Doc Love, and Joe Masters didn't hit that great, but had a homer a piece. Non-roster Invitee Howard Moss made just six trips to the plate, but he walked twice and launched two homers. Top prospect Leo Mitchell hit a homer and walked twice in seven PA's.

We have six games coming up this week so I'll run back the same six starting pitchers and continue to move the position players around. I'm really excited for Opening Day as I really want real fake games to start again as it feels like it's been forever.
