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:

[+] spoiler

- Moreta has surged to a 7-1 record, pitching at least 8 innings while giving up 1 run or less in each of her last 4 starts.

- Gunpowder has hit 7 home runs in his last 11 games and continues to lead the league with 24.

Quality managing to get the rotation set such that she got a start against the Meat Gayzers.

This season govmentchedda has been credited with no saves. In no relief appearances and 104.1 innings he has a 7-3 won-lost mark, a 2.50 ERA and 56 strikeouts.

"This great starter is not in the bullpen!"

Post by **Sabo** » Fri Jun 15, 2018 7:53 am

In addition to throwing a complete game in a 5-2 win, I also went 4 for 4 with 5 RBI.

I appear to have been the king of the run-scoring single this past week...

"2 hits?" he said with a laugh following the game. "Listen, I'd be happy with a 30-hitter as long as it was a shutout."

I need a slump buster or something.

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...

Ok that's much better.

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Fri Jun 22, 2018 12:45 pm

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

Post by **brian** » Fri Jun 22, 2018 12:48 pm

Kalamazoo has to be Derek Jeter Field/Stadium

Regina - Queen's Park

Rick Cerone Stadium sounds like the quintessential Brick City Ballpark name.

There actually is a section of Regina called Queen’s Park.

Post by **brian** » Sat Jun 23, 2018 11:14 pm

Should have guessed my suggestion would be taken.

DSafetyGuy · Post by **DSafetyGuy** » Sun Jun 24, 2018 8:08 am

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.)

Pruitt · Post by **Pruitt** » Sun Jun 24, 2018 3:51 pm

Rimouski - Ici Stade

Shreveport - Terry Bradshaw Feild

Altoona - Sheetz Stadium

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Mon Jun 25, 2018 7:57 am

Ft. Myers should be Fucillo Kia Field
