Raccoons (52-41) vs. Loggers (51-42) – July 19-21, 2072

The chasers dueled in a 3-game set starting on Tuesday, while the Indians and Crusaders would play head-to-head for the division lead at the same time. The Coons were bracing for another horrible experience against the league’s #1 offense, surely unable to lay paws on the second-worst pitching. The Loggers had a +49 run differential (Coons: +4), and a 5-4 lead in the season series.

The Loggers had splurged prospects on Monday to acquire Boston ace Mike Bell (8-6, 2.90 ERA), on an expiring contract no less, including #12 prospect SP Danny Ramirez. Bell had pitched on Sunday, however, and would not be able to face the Raccoons in this series. The Loggers then further scooped up Falcons outfielder Eddie Mullen (.264, 4 HR, 46 RBI) on Tuesday morning, dealing ancient Eric Frasher (.254, 4 HR, 11 RBI) to Charlotte.

Projected matchups:
Tony Gaytan (4-6, 4.33 ERA) vs. Kevin Bennett (7-5, 2.66 ERA)
Jimmy Wharton (8-7, 4.32 ERA) vs. Matt Crist (10-6, 4.16 ERA)
Nick Walla (9-2, 3.29 ERA) vs. Colt Long (10-4, 3.80 ERA)

Bennett and Long were the first southpaw starters the Coons would face *this month*; the previous southpaw starter to face them had been Indy’s Pablo Apodaca on June 30.

Game 1
MIL: 1B C. Ramirez – 3B Sowards – RF C. Dominguez – C M. Rodriguez – LF Frank – SS Hills – CF Mullen – 2B Vic. Morales – P Bennett
POR: 2B Yocum – CF Hamel – SS Katzman – 1B V.D. Morales – C Contreras – 3B Gonzales – RF van Otterdijk – LF Morentin – P Gaytan

Cesar Ramirez (22 HR!!) and Carlos Dominguez reached base on a walk and single, respectively in the first inning, but Gaytan also struck out a couple and kept the Loggers from scoring before a Hamel single and back-to-back bombs by Katz and Victor David Morales gave him a 3-0 lead in the bottom 1st. That one needed bobbling, urgently, and so ex-Coons Brian Hills and Victor “Vic” (Hugo) Morales put singles together for a second-inning run in reply. Gaytan’s pitch count then exploded with lots of long counts in the third inning, and also another run as Hills drove in Dominguez, who had walked, hitting back-to-back singles with Ken Frank. Mullen then struck out, but the lead was already down to 3-2 and we were heading surely for another 11-run slapping.

Katz hit a leadoff double off the wall in the third, and the Otter singled through the left side in the fourth, but neither even got to third base with a lack of support from the lineup, while Gaytan also piled up nine strikeouts through five innings, but ran his pitch count to 90. He then threw just eight pitches in the sixth, despite a Mullen single, and got through that as well, then gave up a leadoff single to Ramirez in the seventh before notching a final K against Jesse Sowards. Rios then got around Dominguez and Manuel Rodriguez (kinda, walking him), before ringing up Frank on strikes to bring on the stretch, still in a 3-2 game.

Bennett was still going, but also wouldn’t finish seven. McFarland batted and singled in the pitcher’s spot to begin the bottom 7th, and Hamel hit another single. Katz then *smashed* a 3-run homer to left, 6-2, and that was the end of Kevin Bennett. The eighth was reasonably calm, Pedro Valentin getting a scoreless inning for a base hit by Vic Morales, and the ninth went to Chad Brown and also not so well. Ramirez hit a leadoff jack, after which Brown engorged himself on long counts and put Dominguez on base with a full count walk, and then Frank doubled home the runner. With the tying run at the dish, McMahan came in to face the lefty-hitting Hills, but got catcher David Pavlacka instead, who grounded out to short. 6-4 Coons. Hamel 2-4; Katzman 3-4, 2 HR, 2B, 5 RBI; V.D. Morales 2-4, HR, RBI; van Otterdijk 2-3; McFarland (PH) 1-1; Gaytan 6.1 IP, 8 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 10 K, W (5-6);

New York’s Raul Ledesma gave the Crusaders a second-consecutive win against Indy with a come-from-behind walkoff homer in the ninth inning on that day.

Game 2
MIL: CF Mullen – 1B Metcalf – RF C. Dominguez – C M. Rodriguez – LF C. Ramirez – 3B Sowards – 2B Vic. Morales – SS Hills – P Crist
POR: 2B Yocum – CF LeVan – SS Katzman – RF V.D. Morales – 1B Woodley – LF Hamel – 3B Gonzales – C S. Brown – P Wharton

Jimmy Wharton nearly gave up a homer to the leadoff man Mullen on Wednesday, but the ball was caught at the fence by V.D., and Jimmyboy then instead retired the first ten Loggers in a row, whiffing four… before giving up a homer to Travis Metcalf instead. That one tied the game in the fourth, erasing a 1-0 lead from a Hamel single and Gonzales’ RBI double in the second – pretty much the extent of the Coons’ offense so far. Rodriguez and Ramirez then hit singles to get to the corners, but were stranded with a K to Sowards; and Jimmy struck out the side in fifth inning, getting to 8 K for the day on just 66 pitches. He rung up Metcalf and Dominguez in the sixth to get to double digits.

The Coons retook the lead in the bottom 5th when Yocum got on base by walking, stole second, and scored on groundouts by LeVan and Katz. The following inning, the Coons added two runs in wicked fashion, beginning with a Woodley single to right. Hamel flew out, but Gonzales singled and the lead runner went to second base. Brown then shoved a hit through a diving Sowards, and up the line for a double. Woodley got around to score, and Gonzales was sent to the plate, but thrown out by Ramirez, while behind him Brown attempted third base after the throw went through. Rodriguez peppered it up the line again, but this was the second time that ball got through Sowards in some seven seconds, and this time Brown jumped up and scampered home on the throwing error, 4-1 tally on a 7-2-E2 play. Jimmy then grounded out with the bags empty, and struck out Sowards for good measure to end a clean and quick seventh inning. Woodley blasted a 2-out, 3-run homer to put Crist away in the home half of the seventh, while Jimmy added Vic Morales and PH Ken Frank to a tally of 13 strikeouts in the eighth inning, but was now over 100 pitches. He did enter the ninth inning, though, popping out Mullen behind the plate for the first out. Metcalf ran a full count before fanning on Jimmy’s 110th pitch, but Dominguez singled to center on the next. Jimmy remained in to face Rodriguez, probably his last batter – and struck him out!! 7-1 Furballs!! Woodley 3-4, HR, 3 RBI; Gonzales 2-4, 2B, RBI; Wharton 9.0 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 15 K, W (9-7);

15 strikeouts!! Holy fuzzball!!

The Crusaders completed a sweep of the Indians for first place on Wednesday.

Game 3
MIL: 1B C. Ramirez – 3B Sowards – RF C. Dominguez – C M. Rodriguez – LF Frank – SS Hills – CF Mullen – 2B Fish – P C. Long
POR: 2B Yocum – CF Hamel – SS Katzman – 1B V.D. Morales – C Contreras – 3B Gonzales – RF van Otterdijk – LF Morentin – P Walla

Different game on Thursday, as Nick Walla struck out one batter the first time through, got around a Cesar Ramirez single to begin the game when Dominguez forced out the runner and then was caught stealing, but gave up a single to Jon Fish in the third and then a homer to Ramirez to fall 2-0 behind. Rodriguez added a solo homer in the fourth inning, while the Coons so far had mostly hit into double plays, but got V.D. and Contreras on base through hits, and then Gonzales when Fish misfiled his double play grounder for an error to load the bags for the Otter in the bottom 4th. Van Otterdijk popped out to shallow center for no gains, but Jesus Morentin snuck a 2-out, 2-run single through the left side to narrow down the score on the board. Walla whiffed to leave runners on the corners, and Yocum reached on Sowards’ error to begin the bottom 5th, but never made it off first base through three poor outs by the 2-3-4 batters.

Walla didn’t have enough to retire either Ramirez (who singled again the third time through) or Dominguez without defensive heroics and/or divine intervention, and then was removed for a pinch-hitter (Woodley) when his spot came up in the bottom 6th with Gonzales on second, Morentin on first, and two outs. The move didn’t work, as Woodley grounded out to Hills, and the Coons remained 3-2 behind.

Rios handled the 6-7-8 batters in the seventh, while the Loggers also replaced Long with righty Danny Mendoza, who got two outs to begin the bottom 7th, but then walked Katz and gave up a scratch single to V.D. Morales. Contreras fell to 0-2 before striking a ball to deep left and into the corner for a score-flipping, Walla-unhooking, 2-out, 2-strike, 2-run double…! GIMME MORE ADJECTIVES!! … Gonzales grounded out, and Rios got Vic Morales and Ramirez in the top 8th before Newhard replaced him for a K on the unlucky Sowards. Sam Brown pinch-hit for Newhard, reached on an error, and was left stranded in the Coons’ half of the eighth inning before the 4-3 lead went to Rismiller against the 3-4-5 batters, who were worth 51 homers, and of whom he retired exactly none, giving up a single to Dominguez and then walking the bags full. Cam Jackson inherited that mess, struck out PH Travis Metcalf, but gave up a sac fly to center to Mullen to tie the game, then struck out Fish to leave two on.

Katz hit a single and was left at second in the bottom 9th, and the game went to extras. Cam Jackson remained on the bump in the tenth and had Vic Morales out, but gave up a single to the unretireable Ramirez. Sowards flew out to deep center, but Morentin hurt himself on a diving grab and had to leave the game. Thankfully, non-hitting super utility Nick Luebbert was still available to fill in. Dominguez grounded out to Jackson to end the inning. Luebbert then singled with two outs in the bottom 10th, making the Coons use their last pinch-hitter, McFarland, and for nothing, since Luebbert in his infinite wisdom was then picked off first base by Omar Vences to end the inning, and the pitcher had to go back in the #9 spot, so McFarland had been burned for ****.

We ended up with Vinny Morales in long relief then, although the Loggers started hitting rockets, so “long” was perhaps more a technical term here. Frank smashed a 1-out double in the 11th, but was left on base after two sharp groundouts to Gonzales by both Jonathan Wright and Eddie Mullen. Vinny had to bat leadoff in the bottom of the inning, leading to another big zero on the scoreboard, then unavoidably gave up a 2-out homer to Ramirez in the top 12th to break the tie. Former Critter Justin Cullum in his second inning faced the 3-4-5 batters in the bottom of the 12th. Katz shanked a double to left to lead off, but Morales and Contreras hit ****** pop fly outs, and Gonzales rolled one back to Cullum for the final out. 5-4 Loggers. Katzman 3-4, 2 BB, 2B; Contreras 3-6, 2B, 2 RBI; Luebbert 1-1; Jackson 2.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K;

Not having a closer sorta sucks!

Just like having Cesar Ramirez (.361, 25 HR, 59 RBI) batting 5-for-6 with a couple o’ dingers for the other team.

Jesus Morentin (.352, 1 HR, 8 RBI) broke a rib and went to the DL for probably the rest of this and all of next month. Humph was in rehab right now, but we wanted to give him another day or two, and instead called up defensively awful corner outfielder Dave Falquez, who had missed a shot at a September call-up last year for being hurt, and was now trying to transition to first base, with ghastly reviews.

Raccoons (54-42) vs. Aces (53-43) – July 22-24, 2072

Last year’s CLCS foes both sat some games out in their divisions before this weekend series, with Vegas holding a 2-1 lead from the first meeting of the year. They ranked second in offense (whee!), and pitching, for a +83 run differential. The rotation was decent, but the pen was sturdy, and they led the league with 100 stolen bases.

Projected matchups:
Crispino D’Urso (8-5, 3.66 ERA) vs. Harrison Bucci (9-5, 3.31 ERA)
TBD vs. John Santamaria (3-9, 4.27 ERA)
Tony Gaytan (5-6, 4.25 ERA) vs. Luis Ortiz (10-5, 5.01 ERA)

No clue who pitches on Saturday. Best bet was probably Val Centeno (1-0, 7.20 ERA) in AAA. Meanwhile, the Aces threw another two left-handed pitchers at us, while offering a right-hander on Sunday.

Game 1
LVA: 2B J. Williams – 1B A. Jones – C Haynes – CF Phelps – SS Hatakeyama – 3B Rodewald – RF Harmsen – LF McGrew – P Bucci
POR: 2B Yocum – RF Hamel – SS Katzman – 1B V.D. Morales – C Contreras – 3B Gonzales – LF van Otterdijk – CF LeVan – P D’Urso

The pitching situation might yet get worse due to mucky weather on Friday, and rain threatening from the start. Crispy Bear didn’t help himself *or* the team by running lots of long counts and walking John Harmsen and Luke McGrew in the third inning before an out was made. Bucci bunted, but Jimmy Williams struck out and Adam Jones’ did so as well, flailing through ball four in another full count. The Coons were rather calm in the early going, but got Katz and V.D. on base in the bottom 4th and snuck extra bases with a double steal before Contreras hit another go-ahead, 2-run knock to right. The Coons then stranded their catcher (and the Otter, who got an intentional walk), then left the bases loaded in the fifth when Yocum singled and stole second, and Bucci walked the bags full with Katz and V.D., but Contreras popped out.

But Crispy Bear wiggled himself through seven innings of constant long counts, giving up just one base hit to Matt Rodewald, and held the 2-0 line, but was expended after that. His spot led off the bottom 7th and Falquez made his ABL debut as pinch-hitter, grounding out as Bucci went 1-2-3 on the Critters. Chad Brown then held the line in the eighth inning before the Coons went to Rismiller *again* in the ninth. Josh Phelps hit a single in the inning, but apart from that the Aces made enough quick outs to get the teams to the clubhouse about ten minutes before the storm broke over the ballpark. 2-0 Critters. V.D. Morales 2-3, BB; Contreras 1-4, 2 RBI; D’Urso 7.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 4 K, W (9-5);

Falquez returned to AAA after going 0-for-1 in this game and was replaced with Val Centeno for that spot start. The plan now was for Humph to then return on Sunday at Centeno’s expense.

Game 2
LVA: 2B J. Williams – 1B A. Jones – C Haynes – CF Phelps – SS Hatakeyama – 3B Rodewald – RF Lawyer – LF McGrew – P Santamaria
POR: 2B Yocum – RF Hamel – 3B Katzman – 1B V.D. Morales – C Contreras – LF van Otterdijk – CF LeVan – SS McFarland – P Centeno

Centeno had a … start to the game, getting a clean first before leaking a single and a walk to Koji Hatakeyama and Rodewald, respectively, in the second, but no runs. Santamaria led off the third inning and shoved a triple into the rightfield corner – and didn’t score. Williams popped out, Jones grounded out to third, and Chris Haynes grounded out to short. The Coons had only two singles in the early innings; Morales was doubled up by Contreras, and McFarland was bunted to second by Centeno in the bottom 3rd, and then left there.

Centeno appeared to run out of wits in the fourth inning, running a 3-0 count against Josh Phelps leading off before Phelps poked… and reached on an infield single. Centeno then walked the bags full with the next two hitters, then got a comebacker from Jay Lawyer that he took to home plate, keeping the Aces off the board for the moment. That was as good as it got for him; Luke McGrew got 3-1 ahead and then sliced a bases-clearing triple, Santamaria banged an RBI double, and van Otterdijk then took two fly balls on the warning track to end the inning. He was done after five innings and would return to St. Pete with the same 7.20 ERA he arrived with.

Up 4-0, Santamaria then walked Contreras and the Otter to begin the bottom 5th. LeVan flew out, but McFarland slapped an RBI double to left-center to get the Critters on the board. Woodley batted for Centeno and grounded out, plating a run, 4-2, but Yocum fanned to leave McFarland at third base. Valentin then pitched a shoddy inning, giving up a single to Santamaria, who was by that point a home run away from hitting for the ******* cycle.

The tying runs were on when Hamel and Katz slapped singles to begin the bottom 6th, but the next three batters popped out, struck out, and grounded out, leading to no runs for the brown team. Santamaria kept pitching, but was denied the cycle when McMahan made him ground out in the top 8th. Chris Derrick then took the ball from him in the ninth inning against the 4-5-6 batters. Contreras’ 1-out double brought the tying run to the plate, but McGrew shagged the Otter’s liner to left. LeVan slapped a soft single to center, and Contreras was held at third base. Sam Brown batted for McFarland, but grounded out to first to end the game. 4-2 Aces. McFarland 2-3, 2B, RBI;

Hey, Humph!

Yocum was in a slump and got the day off on Sunday, while Pedro Valentin had a cold and was day-to-day.

Game 3
LVA: 2B J. Williams – 1B A. Jones – C Haynes – CF Phelps – SS Hatakeyama – 3B Rodewald – RF Lawyer – LF McGrew – P L. Ortiz
POR: LF Humphries – CF LeVan – SS Katzman – RF V.D. Morales – 1B Woodley – 3B Gonzales – C S. Brown – 2B Luebbert – P Gaytan

Contact off Gaytan was immediate, loud, and plenty, and the Aces hit three singles the first time through, all sharp, but the fly balls to the outfield were all caught (so far…) and they didn’t score. Yet. The writing was definitely on the wall, but Jimmy Williams’ leadoff single that didn’t actually make it out of the infield grass in the third inning was followed by two force outs at second and the runner being stranded at first. A leadoff walk to Hatakeyama and then a single by Rodewald put runners on the corners with nobody out in the fourth, and now surely the levee would break! But it didn’t, as Lawyer fanned (Gaytan’s first K in the game), McGrew popped out, and Ortiz also whiffed. Haynes nearly homered in the fifth, but had the ball picked by LeVan on the warning track in dead center.

The Raccoons had one measly hit in four innings, then put the battery on the corners with singles in the bottom 5th, bringing up Humph with one out. He struck out, though, and LeVan lined out to Williams, so the whole act was for nothing. Gaytan survived another leadoff single by Phelps in the sixth and got to the stretch in a scoreless game, was still denied run support, then got through one more inning and around another Phelps single and stolen base in the eighth, and still got out of the game without allowing a run. Hamel pinch-hit for him and grounded out in the bottom 8th, but righty reliever Daniel Richmond then walked the bags full with the 1-2-3 batters. V.D. FINALLY had mercy on the fans and hit a single through the right side to drive in two runs, Woodley filled the bases again with another single to right, and Yocum batted for a hitless Gonzales and drew another walk from Richmond to force Katz across the plate, 3-0. Brad “Fails” Fales replaced Richmond and got a double play grounder from Brown to clean up.

The Coons then tried to get the save from McMahan, who retired the 7-8 batters before giving up a homer to third baseman Sergio Rubio. Williams then singled, and Joe Jackson batted for the left-handed Jones, so Cam Jackson came in to give up the inevitable game-tying homer. (bangs head against door frame repeatedly) Haynes’ groundout brought the Coons back to the dish, but Luebbert, Hamel (who had remained in the game over Morales), and Humph made straight outs to send the game to overtime. Jackson did the tenth, and then Vinny Morales was at it again, probably punching another L in “long” relief. The only long thing was the top of the 11th inning, which the Aces opened with three straight singles off Vinny and eventually scored four, capped by a Phelps homer. 7-3 Aces. V.D. Morales 2-4, 2 RBI; Woodley 2-5; Contreras (PH) 1-1; Gaytan 8.0 IP, 7 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K and 1-2;

Complaints and stuff

This bullpen is gonna be the end of me.

We haven’t heard anything about Felipe Salinas this week, but since we didn’t make another offer it is safe to assume we’re out of it.

With the way the schedule was laid out, the Raccoons could get to August without having another spot starter, but then would need some sort of solution for the fifth slot in the rotation again.

The Flying Fireballs would take the show on the road now on a 3-city trip through San Francisco, Charlotte, and Atlanta. Off day on Thursday, conveniently, but then not another one until August 11, so two weeks from now we’d need a fifth starter, twice.

Fun Fact: David Johnson is the eighth batter in league history to reach 400 homers.

It’s not a power league. But anyway, here’s the career top 10:

1st – Eddie Moreno – 478
2nd – Ron Alston – 475
3rd – Danny Santillano – 457
4th – Raúl Vázquez – 416
5th – Ivan Villa – 414
6th – Gil Rockwell – 412
7th – Dan Morris – 408
8th – David Johnson – 400
9th – Zach Suggs – 396
10th – Tony Roman – 393

All are in the Hall of Fame, except for the last three. Johnson and Roman are still active, and Suggs retired after 2067 and has not been eligible for the HOF ballot just yet. Only 90 homers in these top 10 came in a Critters uniform; Ron Alston hit 71 in a 2 1/2-year stint in Portland in the late 2000s, and Gil Rockwell played his final season in brown, hitting 19 and thus also #400 while here.

You have to go down to *48th place* in the all-time leaderboard to find a player that hit the majority of his home runs for the Raccoons, and all the way back to somebody that played in the league’s inaugural season (but for the Buffos): Mark Dawson hit 304 dingers in his career, of which the last 231 came in a brown shirt.

Fun Fact (Bonus Round): Jimmy Wharton is the first ABL pitcher to strike out 15 batters in a game since Ben Seiter of the Crusaders did so on July 17, 2063.

Jimmy is also only the second pitcher not named Jonny Toner to put up 15 strikeouts in a game, the other being Tadasu Abe, Toner’s rotation mate in the late 2010s.

Portland Raccoons single-game strikeouts:

18 – Jonny Toner – October 2, 2016
17 – Jonny Toner – July 23, 2020
16 – Jonny Toner – May 1, 2015

15 – Tadasu Abe – April 13, 2016
15 – Jonny Toner – May 12, 2017
15 – Jimmy Wharton – July 20, 2072

No Coons had whiffed even 14 batters since “Tragic” Travis Garrett in 2023, and the last time a Coon had struck out 13 had been in 2060, when the feat had been achieved four times in total by “Tipsy” Bobby Herrera (twice), Tyler Riddle, and Zach Stewart.
