Moscow, Russia

The Thunder Bears didn't really do what needed doing dropping 2 of 3 in a series vs Buenos Aires and they lost to the monsters of the division at London. The underwhelming Bears offense posted a respectful 4.5 runs per game while Moscow pitching had a surprise sour 6 games series allowing 5.3 per.
BEARS OF THE SIM - SIM #5
Pitcher
P César Torres
9 G, 7.11 ERA, 12.2 IP, 2.6 K/BB, 1.58 WHIP, -0.1 WAR
The rotation, for once, had no real bright spots so we look to the bullpen for the BotS. Closer Riyadi Subandrio hummed along as he always does logging 2 saves in as many opportunities. But we'll go with Torres who isn't likely to tally nods. But the righty tossed 5.1 innings allowing just 2 hits and 1 run while fanning 7.
Batter
1B Eng-hee Shen
29 G, 6 2B, 1 3B, 8 HR, 20 RBI, .277/.320/.562, 11 SB, +0.7 WAR
Surprise, surprise! Shen pocketed GBC Eurasia Player of the Week Award and that kind of boosts a guy to BotS by default. Shen slashed .520/.552/.920 with 4 2B, 2 HR, and 6 RBI. In his shadow was RF Isacco Aglietti lurked in the shadows of Shen epic week delivering 3 doubles and 1 HR to push across 5 runs while slashing .414/.414/.621.
