NEWS AND NOTES:
Not too many major developments this week:
- TT2.0 returns from his suspension for starting a brawl the week before.
- The Oats' bats continue to show more life, hitting 16 home runs over the past two weeks (with duff accounting for 5) after putting up just 22 in the first two months of the season.
- Rams Fanny won Bensell Conference Rookie of the Month for May, his second month in a row.
- P.D.X. is hitting an impressive .323, but has just 9 walks in 276 plate appearances this year. That's some Ozzie Guillen level lack of discipline.
- mister d returns from the DL this week after recovering from a fractured rib.
- I feel like there needs to be a separate "Bronto injury report" from the injury report for all other players combined. Anyway, Brontoburglar suffered a pinched never in his neck and will be out until the middle of next week. Here is Bronto's injury history going back to last year:

There were a few grumblings about run support, so I looked into the advanced stats for the average runs our teams score in each pitcher's starts (RSup) and how that compares to their records. Looks like Rush's suspicions were correct...

Oh yeah, that's something I had meant to put up here. I came up with a few stadium names based on people/things associated with that location, or references to the team name:
For the remaining ones, I'm still taking suggestions:
Altoona
Boise
Danbury
Dundalk
Fort Myers
Fresno
Kalamazoo
Nassau
Newark
Oxnard
Regina
Rimouski
Rockford
Shreveport
Yakima

The Regina GlobeScan Stadium, referred to as the G Spot.
(Sorry, none of the major Canadian corporations that start with "G" are based in the province, but I think I found the best one to lead to the nickname.)
