Sounds like I don't actually have the worst catchers in the PEBA through 1 week, you do.
C Steve McDonald is 0 for 21 but he has drawn 3 walks.
C and sometimes DH vs LHP Rusty Butler is 1 for 15 with no walks but managed to lean into a pitch.
Meanwhile Padawan Sith 'Fido' and Padawan Sith Domingo are a combined 10-30... Neat!!
Of course a 6-1 start to the year - beginning with a 3-1 series win over the pesty 'Gnats is particularly Neat... Let's start with the Provost-'Tugboat' pairing: 3-0, 25.2 IP, 4 ER, 27K and a single walk (Smith's) - combined... Clark Snow, in his Aurora debut threw 7-shutout innings... Carlos Rivera, on the other hand, picked up where he left off in 2026 - a 2-homer outing in the lone lose on the week... The bullpen gave up 2-runs, total... All Neat... Not So Neat, Pedro Vega, picked up from The KTY during the offseason, threw 3.1 scoreless innings before rupturing a tendon in his finger and is out until mid-summer... Rookie Tomas Moya, who already has 3 saves and a 1.80 ERA at Thornton, will fill the void...
On the hitting side, Not So Neat was River Pope going down with another injury - pulling a rib muscle, and will be sidelined for 3-4 weeks, after starting the year 7-22... Pedro Ferringo was 9-24 and Gabe McIntyre has started well at 7-22... 'Fudd' Martinez started his AAA season - just missing the Opening Day roster, with a 7-26 week, with 2 HR and 5 RBI and will be called up and thrust into the lineup, taking Pope's spot... New CF Tomas Flores had a mixed week, going 7-30 with a double and 3 RBI - with a team leading 6 K (tied with Carlisle)...
What's On Deck:
After a week with Crystal Lake and the Yumans, it'll be K-Zoo at home and then off to the Far East for Round 1 with the Evil Evas, with Provost and 'Tugboat' lined up to start that series...
