GAME HIGHLIGHTS

Kraken @ Rattlers
Colin Rea and Felix Bautista 2-hit Brooklyn and the only run comes on an RBI double off the bat of JD Davis in the fourth.  Windy City prolongs Brooklyn's losing streak with a 1-0 victory.

Argos @ Sweets
A tough season to date for Trea Turner is made a little sweeter as he walks off Mother Lode with his fifth homer, leading off the ninth.

Madmen @ Rougarou
Motor City scores early and often, led by Cody Bellinger's four hit night.  Bellinger doubles and homers twice, driving in three runs to pace a 15 hit, 10 run attack.  Lakeview raps out ten hits of their own, but the can't string them together well, producing only a single run (a solo homer) as they suffer the 10-1 loss.

Bums @ Koi
The first team to 20 wins, Bako follows ace Gerrit Cole's seven strong innings to the 4-3 win.  Shea Langeliers continues to lead the offense (who'da ever thunk THAT would be an actual sentence...) with his 8th home run and two RBI.

Dogs @ Miners
#cantbeatmeonPeloton #cantbeatanyonerightnow... Phoenix sends Sonny Gray to an early shower with seven runs in two innings.  Aaron Nola fares much better for the home team, coming within one out of a 4-hit shutout.  A walk, double and RBI single ends his night after 8.2 superb innings and Jakob Junis ends the "threat", inducing a routine groundout to shortstop.  The surging Miners take the home win, 8-1.

Thunder @ Yetis
On the heels of #cantbeatanyonerightnow's skid, archrival #donttradewithKyle has picked up their play.  Winners of three straight and seven of their last ten, the Thunder have pulled even with the Dogs after doubling up Everest, 4-2.  Spencer Strider (2 H, 2 ER, 4 BB, 12 K) goes only five, but collects the win.

Captain's Quarters / The Great Auk fires manager today
Last post by Bob Miller -
In a press release today the Great Auk's owner/GM fired the field manager effective immediately.   Also in the release the owner threatened certain pitchers with a "fate worse than extinction" if they don't start pitching up to expectations.  Starting pitchers: Max Scherzer 8.39 ERA,  "Drop Dead" Fred Peralta 5.37 ERA,  Seth Lugo 6.97 ERA and Aaron Civale 5.40 ERA were all singled out by the owner.       

"This team was built to win in 2024 and this tomfoolery by the pitching staff WILL Not continue"    A beer vendor from the upper deck was chosen to manage the team for the remainder of the season.   "He can't do any *#@&ing worse" bellowed the owner. 

When asked about the performance of closer Jeff Hoffman 12.46 ERA 0-2 with two blown saves including yesterday's 3 run blown save the owner's face turned purple and then he suffered what appears to be an apparent heart attack and had to be taken away in an ambulance.    The press conference ended at that point.

This game seems to be a game of streaks. A long losing streak seems to always follow a long winning streak. Here's hoping our winning streaks are longer than the losing streaks.

CONFERENCE TRENDS

KML
The KML has tightened up as Santa Ana, Ann Arbor, and Lakeview have each won three in a row and Ankeny has begun to climb as well.  Brooklyn has lost three straight after their ten game win streak, and Chicago has played .500 ball over their last ten falling back toward the rising foursome behind them.


Frick
The middle of the Frick has shuffled around over the last week-plus.  Great has slid as they have lost seven of ten; Tucson and Phoenix have risen as they have won seven of ten.  Sandwiched in between those shuffling teams has remained Mother Lode, treading water at .500 over their last ten.  At the top of the conference, Bako, on a current 9-1 run, has put a couple games between themselves and nemesis Scurvy, who has dropped three straight.

GAME HIGHLIGHTS

Sweets @ Thunder
Clayton Kershaw has yet to be scored on this season.  In his third start of the season, Kershaw completes seven 1-hit innings as Tucson plugs away offensively with 11 hits, scoring in four different innings.  The result is a 6-0 home win for the Thunder.  Kershaw now has 19.2 scoreless innings to open his 2024 season.

Miners @ Argonauts
Mother Lode gifts Phoenix a 2-1 win.  More specifically, closer Andres Munoz gifts the win.  Entering in a 1-1 tie in the top of the ninth, Munoz gives up back to back singles to open the inning, throws a wild pitch to advance the runners and then balks home the winning run.  Phoenix closer Jhoan Duran tries to reciprocate, hitting Yordan Alvarez with a pitch with one out, allowing pinch runner Elly De La Cruz to steal second, throwing a wild pitch to advance him to third before inducing a pair of ground outs to escape with the save and the Miner win.

Sea Wolves @ Kraken
Despite a 5.45 ERA, Brayan Bello stays perfect on the year, running his record to 4-0.  11.8 runs of support will grant a guy a lot of leeway.  Tonight the Wolves score the averaged runs, plating 12 on 15 hits (five doubles / five home runs) to breeze to the 12-5 win.
