Sim #15 was cleansing to the pallet at 5-2. A nice win of a 4-game series vs Atlantic City then taking 2 of the first 3 games of a 4-game series vs mighty Charm City. This was a Sim full of offense so we'll pick out a pitcher who kept things close.
SPUDS OF THE SIM - SIM #15
Pitcher
RP Adrián Fox
20 G, 4-1, 35.2 IP, 4.54 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, -0.2 WAR
No one on the Boise roster has been more maligned than former-closer, former AAA-banished, Adrián Fox. He may be starting to pitch more like the 2056 Fox than what we've seen thus far in 2057. He made 3 appearances in Sim #15 allowing no runs in 5.1 innings striking out 4 and earning himself a win (which was surprising to us looking at his 4-1 record).
Batter
1B Bastião Fardos
86 G, 25 2B, 4 3B, 13 HR, 52 RBI, .318/.356/.550, 2 SB, +1.8 WAR
Good lord is Fardos cooking this month! He went 15-for-29 scoring 8 runs and delivering 2 HR for 4 RBI and he swiped 2 bases off Charm City on the 11th. He's on the trade block as a rental and if he keeps this up some contender is going to regret not coming after him.
