Getting Lei’ed: Hawaiian League News and Notes (Part Two)

You know what time it is when Dangerfield is to the left of the text? We’re all going to get lei’ed. But unlike high school, I got off to an early start. And as always, I’ll do all the work so it’s remotely enjoyable for everyone. So suit up folks, here we go!

Caleb Gindl went 0 for 8 since Friday’s installment, seeing his average dip to a meager .200. He hasn’t tallied an RBI since then either.

Fellow outfielder Logan Schafer isn’t doing much better. He’s dipped to a .171 clip at the plate, and his OBP dropped from a respectable .353 to .286 since Friday.

Brewers pitching prospects have fared considerably better than their bat-toting counterparts have this week. Mike Ramlow, who had already put up good numbers, continued his excellence on the mound. Ramlow lowered his ERA from 2.68 to 1.00 in his last scoreless outing. He’s surrendered just eight hits over 9 IP spanning four outings.

Chris Cody regained his old (impressive) form since Friday. After coughing up just one run over five innings Sunday he saw his ERA fall from 6.48 to 4.37. He leads the CaneFires in innings and strikeouts with 13.1 and 14 respectively and he’s walked just two hitters in league play.

As of (Word)Press time, your CaneFires have lost four straight games, but still sit atop the two-team Hawaii Winter Baseball West division standings with a 6-7 record (kind of like the NL West of the Hawaiian baseball league, ehh?). Their record is good for third best overall in the four-team Hawaiian Winter Baseball League.

You’ve just been lei’ed. I hope it was as good for you as it was for me. I always aim to please.

Until next week,

Aloha!
