2063.15 - Getries take on SIM #4

[CTBrewCrew]

---
Record This Week: 3-4 | Overall: 11-15

Oh, honey.

We started hot, winning three straight and making it look like we had turned a corner—but then the baseball gods slammed the brakes on that joy ride and made us eat a four-game losing streak for dessert. April might not be done, but I sure am with these one-run losses.

Let’s recap the rollercoaster:

Yes, we beat the death metal out of DM and split a barnburner with YS9, but Twin Cities gave us nothing but heartache and overly expensive concessions.


Rookies & Rising Stars

Rookie Debut

• RP Alejandro Ramiraze made his long-awaited debut:
  2.0 IP • 0 ER • 1 K • 0 BB • 0 H

Welcome to The Show, kid. You've got ice in your veins and velocity in your soul.

Milestone Alert

• Boyd Fitzgerald, our 19-year-old future heartbreaker at short, crushed his first dinger. Kid’s got whip in that swing and a smirk I don’t trust.

Injury Report

Kevin Edwards (RP): Out 2 months with elbow inflammation.
You can't throw heat if the hinges are squeaking. Rest up, Kev.

Prime Cuts (Hot Hitters)

• Player AVG OPS HR RBI

• Kensaku Kato .583 1.583 1 7

• Boyd Fitzgerald .364 1.073 2 4

• Ricardo Norman .385 .962 1 2

• Gary Fellers .353 .801 0 3

Also shoutout to Esteban Paz for making the most of his 4 plate appearances—he slugged 2.000. I don’t know what he’s drinking but I want two.

On the Bump

Starters

• Chris Stout: 7.1 IP, 1 ER, 2 K. Vintage stuff.

• Clint Thomas: 5.2 IP, 1 ER. Gutsy.

• Wesley Turner: 4.1 IP, 2 ER. Walked a tightrope with 4 BBs.

Bullpen Notes

• Alejandro Ramiraze is smooth as silk and twice as strong.

• Heath Brown gave us 3.1 clean innings.

• Jugnu Sampath struggled with command, and we’re gonna have to whisper some sweet control into his ear next sim.

Down on the Farm

Top Bats:

• Name Level AVG OPS HR RBI

• Augusto Martinez AAA .455 1.091 1 3

• Jose Carlos Deleon AAA .333 1.030 1 4

Prospects are making noise. Now if only I could get them to show up in our lineup without a federal subpoena.

Final Thought from Gertie:
"Three wins and four heartbreaks. Welcome to the life of a Wolves fan. We may be clawing uphill, but the fight is in us. Don’t count us out, sugar—not this early, and never in Shotz Stadium."

See y’all in May.
