Delayed game report…. why?

Well, look at the box score.

You try spinning a compelling narrative around a game where not only did we not score a run, but we didn’t even leave that many guys on base. 

Things worth noting about the game:

  • The Volcanoes’ starter,  Tommy ‘The Gun’ Brewer, has a 9-1, 3.05 record on the year. You know, the kind of record that, in any other minor league outfit, would have you sniffing around High-A ball? Against lefties, Brewer’s ERA drops to 1.98, which is filth.
  • The other Salem-Keizer pitchers that were rolled out this game - Mixon, Patterson and De La Rosa - have ERAs of 2.22, 3.24, and 2.55 respectively. (dies)
  • Salem-Keizer has four hitters averaging .295 or better. The C’s have one, and he’s in the ‘or better’ category by just .001 -  on the upside, most of our guys have now bettered the Mendoza Line.
  • With the bat, Matt Sulentic went 2-4, but Justin Frash was the big surprise, showing up with a hefty 3-4, including a double. That nobody could bring him home was no fault of his.
  • And finally:

The record keeps growing.
