Spring Training: Week 2

It was a solid 4-2 week for the Cougars, and we did it all without any injury lasting more then a week! Ossie Grogan will be day-to-day for a bit with back stiffness, but I'm going to still play him in games. He didn't play since getting hurt on the 28th, but our Rule-5 Pick is 1-for-4 with a double. We will also get John Johnson back for this week, who was dealing with an undisclosed injury he suffered before the Spring, while Billy Hunter continues to rehab his sprained knee. We have had a few NRI not appear in any games in either week, so those were moved down. Not worth keeping them up if they aren't playing.

The offense was bad last week, and a bit rough this week, but we finally had a player with a .400 week. It was just a 4-for-10 for Harry Mead, but still much better then we've seen from anyone so far He doubled, walked twice, and scored three runs as well. Skipper went 5-for-16 with a double, walk, and run. Ray Ford was 4-for-12 with a homer and 3 RBIs. Leo Mitchell was much better then last week, 4-for-13 with a double, homer, 2 runs, and 3 walks. Cliff Moss wasn't great, but his 4-for-15 with a double and RBI were at least respectable. Stu Johnson was 3-for-8 with a run scored. Ollie Page was 2-for-3 with a triple, run, and 3 walks.

Joe Brown pitched in 5 of our 6 games, going 8 innings with 8 hits, a run, 2 wins, 2 saves, and 3 strikeouts. Donnie Jones had two appearances for 6 innings, allowing 5 hits, 5 runs (2 earned), and 2 walks with 3 strikeouts. Milt Fritz and Harry Parker both added another 4-inning shutout, 2 hits, 4 walks, and a strikeout for Fritz and just a single hit for Parker. An error cost Peter the Heater a shutout, as he allowed 2 hits, a walk, and an unearned run with a pair of strikeouts. Eddie Quinn was roughed up a but, 6 hits, 3 runs, and 2 walks in 4 innings. Jim Lonardo went 4 with 3 hits and a run. Ben Curtin threw 3 scoreless with a hit, walk, and strikeout.
