News & Notes - June 8, 2020

- Amateur Draft should be arriving soon, probably June 17 of the schedule.

- Pythagorean records are amiss again. Bedford, who is nearly even in run differential, is 6 games under, while Kyoto, who is -18 in run diff., is .500.

- Scotland's hot/cold/hot streak is still going strong, as the Rebels have won 6 straight to pass Ireland for first place in the Euro. Ireland has lost 4 straight.

- League pitching continues to improve, as just 3 teams have team ERA's over 5.00. In April, over half of the teams were in the 5.00 range.

- Osaka's Prince Fielder has 30 home runs in 239 At-Bats (1 per 7.9 AB's). That's 30 HR in just 74 hits, meaning just 44 balls have landed safely in fair territory this year. He currently has a 9 HR lead over teammate Ben Parker, and is threatening to lap the field by season's end.

- Someone take the aluminum bat away from Len Thymne.

- 2019's #1 overall draft pick (SP Michael Casper) is just doing okay in his first season in Ft. Wayne. His control has been as good as advertised (just 13 BB's compared to 105 K's in 92 IP), but he's giving up a lot of hits, many of which are leaving the park. He'll be an interesting guy to keep an eye on.

- Quebec's Rick Clay has more triples (25) than doubles (17).
