We Got Wood - 47.25 - Portland Just "Hovering"

Post by 7teen » Mon Jun 21, 2021 9:05 am

The Portland Lumberjacks are just sort of "hovering" at the moment. The team is stuck in neutral. But for a franchise that has posted seven consecutive losing seasons, six of which saw the team lose over 90 games, perhaps hovering in neutral isn't so bad. After a disappointing 11-16 May, the team has recovered a little bit, going 8-5 to start June and sits squarely in 4th place in the Pacific division, 2 games out of 3rd place and 7 back in the division.

"We're happy with our standing, but not satisfied" commented team General Manager Chris Wilson this week. "We want to be contending for a post-season spot but we aren't really in that position right now. We'll gladly take the start compared to years past, but we want to be viewed as a contender in the league and we're still a little short of that. Perhaps we can keep digging and climb our way up the standing. Right now, our goal is to get back to or over .500."

To date, the team is yet to climb over the .500 mark. Three times this season, the Lumberjacks sat at .500 with a chance to get over, only to lose the following game. At 32-35, the team needs to find a winning streak to reach that plateau. That could be tough to do considering the upcoming schedule for Portland.

The team begins a 10 game road trip beginning tomorrow night that runs through Long Beach, Yellow Springs, Hawaii, and Vancouver. Portland is a dismal 11-19 on the road compared to a solid 21-16 in games played at the Trail in Multnomah.
