News and Notes

Wow, what a crazy week for the Bravos! I had hoped that they would be able to sweep the Puebla Pantera, as they are currently sitting at the bottom of the league. Following the sweep I had hoped to get one of three from the first place Toronto Express, but getting two out of three was even better! The summary of this week is simple: the pitching was still awful, but our explosive offense overcame it, including 3 games in the double digits.

Mike Bell came away with another player of the week including 4 homers, 12 RBI and 9 runs scored.

Our backup center fielder, Gene Jones is upset about his playing time, which is totally understandable. He is a quality player who is not getting much playing time. This week I will begin to explore some trades to see if I can move some of my batter depth for some decent pitching.

Highlights

Mike Bell’s walk off homer in game 36 was awesome, and gave the team the momentum to continue on a win streak, ending at 7 which is the longest in the teams short history.

Lowlights

Chris Teague has another nagging injury again, which is his third so far this season. He is a terrifyingly good reliever, but I am worried this will become a trend.

Looking Ahead

3 games at Philadelphia Buzz (21-21, 5th)
3 games at Cancun Matadors (25-17, 2nd)
