2-0!

I didn't get to post last night as I went out with our guests from The Biggest Loser after the contest...Here are the thoughts on win number two, a 4-2 decision over Midwest...

Here's My Game Recap

Ryan Gehring equals wow! That was as good as Gehring looked all of last season and it came in his first start of 2008...The poll question on the front page of the website is who's performance to start the season was better, Bryan Rembisz or Ryan Gehring...Rembisz retired the first 10 batters he faced while Gehring allowed only one hit, retiring the last 15 in a row...Rembisz threw very well in his first start...but I give the edge to Gehring...

Mike Epping had two more hits last evening and is the only player to have tallied multi-hit contests in the first two games...The Beach Bums drew a total of 10 walks, showing patience at the plate...Mike Goetz drew three of those...Goetz was caught stealing twice, one of which was on a hit and run where the pitch was a fastball way high...Steve Young dropped down two sacrifice bunts...Lets not forget that in 2006 he set a Frontier League record with 21...

The big things to remember is that it is still very early in the season...the only problem I've seen so far has come in the bullpen...Nick Pepper recorded the save last night, but after Jeff Williams recorded the first two outs of the ninth easily, Midwest was able to load the bases and score a pair without really having to swing the bat...The bullpen ERA is 7.20 in the first two games having allowed four earned runs in five innings of work...A strength last season, I am sure the bullpen will get it going as the season progresses...The goal was for the bullpen to need to get nine outs or less and they've done that in the first two nights, preserving wins despite the minor struggles...

Highlights
Mike Goetz 2-run Single in the 8th
