9-6 LOSS vs Valencia
The 2 wins vs Hawaii put us at 5-3 against the Tropics over the last couple of weeks. Yeah, "owning" may be a strong word when describing Portland's play over Hawaii, but hey, it's a winning record for us of late agaisnt someone. So we gotta go with it.

Hitter of the Sim
Mario Guerrer
It's a bitter sweet sim for Guerrer. On the one hand, he gets our player of the sim award after hitting .261/.320/.696 with 3 homeruns and 6 runs batted in. He hit a homerun in 3 straight games ranging from the last Hawaii win through the Omaha series. The negative however is that he tore a thumb ligament in the loss versus the Stars and will now miss the next 5 weeks. Losing our main offensive threat may severely hurt our chances at 63 wins this season.
Sorry Sack of Shit for the Sim
Ray Verhoeve
Have I elevated my standards so much that I'm giving the SSSS award to a pitcher who actually recorded a 1-0 record? That's right! Time to up the ante in Portland. But Ray wasn't that good. In the 8-7 win vs Hawaii, Ray got the win despite allowing 6 runs on 7 hits and 3 walks in 5.2 innings pitched. He did strike out 7. In his second start, he got a no decision after allowing 6 runs on 5 hits and a walk in 4.2 innings pitched. So add it up: 10.1 IP, 12 runs, 12 hits, 4 walks, 8 Ks. Those aren't good stats!
