I’m not doing a full “Week in Review” this year — I found that much of the content was repeated from my Monday posts, and who needs that kind of reduncy!
But the off-day does provide the perfect opportunity for reflection, so this year on Tuesdays, I’ll update stats, leaderboards, and transactions. Pure stats, without any annoying “me talking” bit.
Sacramento River Cats: 7-5, 1st place
+6 Run Differential

This spring in the Northwest League is dreary. More rain on the way. My fear that half the Eugene team would graduate to AA before I could see them in summer ain't going to happen. I guess that's a silver lining.
sorry we're not getting to see Ryan Murphy. hope he makes a full recovery according to the team's timeline.
