Game Recaps
Game 14:PAN 11 - LEO 5 Barrett blown up, team can’t recover
Game 15:PAN 7 - LEO 4 Garcia has rough outing
Game 16:PAN 9 - LEO 11 Pitching struggles but offense overcomes
Game 17:TOR 12 - LEO 5 Pitching is hurting
Game 18:TOR 11 - LEO 7 Henry’s 6 RBI not enough
Game 19:TOR 14 - LEO 13 (10) Leon drops in extras

News and Notes

This is the sort of slide that I thought would be happening at some point soon. The team has aa powerhouse offense, but their pitching is just abysmal. Even looking at the games that they win, it’s often times because of a double digit game from the offense. Looking at the preseason predictions (yikes) we’re projected to finish at the bottom of the league by a pretty wide margin with a 40-68 record, resulting in relegation to BOTA the 2nd league. I will definitely begin to look into some trades to bring in some pitching, but at the same time it’s not worth it to mortgage the future just to stay in the premiere league.

The Leon Braves claimed Porter Kempton from the San Antonio Condors, a SuBOTA team. They hope that he can help patch up the bullpen struggles, although with how poor the rotation is he may see some time as a starter.

In a corresponding move, Kyle Cihak optioned down to AAA. He had 2 rough days giving himself an ERA of 12.6.

Another player got a player of the week award, starting to wonder if it’s just the Bravo of the week. Jamar Seals hit .400 with 7 RBI, 1 homerun and 9 runs.

Highlights

A couple of Bullpen arms had a week with no earned runs including de Leon, Fleming and Fogg. The offense continues to be strong with 6 thoroughly above average batters.

Lowlights

Oof, where to start. A really rough week, it’s never fun to go 1-5, but what is more discouraging is that I don’t see it getting any better with these players. I may try to get some more quality arms, but I don’t think it’ll be cheap, and thus not worth it. We’ll keep trucking along and hope that the offense can carry us.

Looking Ahead

Bravos are heading on a Canadian road trip next week
