2020 Week 2

Week 2 snapshot
Record last week: 4-2 (Overall: 7-5)
Run Differential: +10 (Overall: +15)
Standings: 5th, 1GB

Game Recaps
Game 7: LEO 1 - TIJ 7 Quiet offense, rough bullpen
Game 8: LEO 10 - TIJ 4 Leclerc leads the way with 2 bombs
Game 9: LEO 9 - TIJ 7 (12) The Bravos steal a win in first extra innings game
Game 10: LEO 7 - CHI 7 Three Bravos dingers bring a win
Game 11: LEO 3 - CHI 1 Offense doesn’t stand up to pitching, close loss
Game 12: LEO 10 - CHI 1 Shirley dominates, offense crushes

News and Notes
Jaylen Brutus suffered an injury in game 9, and was later diagnosed with a sore shoulder. The team doctors have suggested that he sits out, so he has been sent to the 15-day IL, with hopes of returning in a few weeks. It was a bad day for the Leon arms as bullpen ace Chris Teague is dealing with a sore forearm. Out of an abundance of caution, he has also been sent to the IL.

In corresponding moves, the Leon Bravos promoted Damian Arreola and Kyle Cihak who will be joining the bullpen. This is Cihak’s first time in the majors.

For the second week in a row, a Leon Bravos player has snagged the player of the week honors. This week it is left fielder Nabil Leclerc who went 9 for 20 with 4 homeruns and 9 RBI.

Highlights

Leclerc has been a highlight leading the Bravos offense with 6 homers, contributing to the teams 25 which leads the league. 9 out of 13 players have at least 1 homer, which makes sense with the amount of power that is on the roster.

The Bravos’ ace, [b[Rogelio Shirley[/b] has gotten better and better at every start and delivered his first gem of an outing in game 12. He delivered a 7 3 1 1 0 6 performance, his first quality start of the year.

Lowlights

While the pitching has improved in week 2, the injuries to Brutus and Teague are certainly concerning. The organizational depth will be tested right away.

Looking Ahead


Game 14: vs. Puebla Pantera (Barrett)
Game 15: vs. Puebla Pantera (Garcia, first start)
Game 16: vs. Puebla Pantera (Cruz)
Game 17: vs. Toronto Express (Melgoza)
Game 18: vs. Toronto Express (Shirley)
Game 19: vs. Toronto Express (Barrett)
