April 2012 - Winnipeg Bisons
Manager and GM Fritsche


18th April 2012

We also won our second series and mood in Winnipeg is great. As expected the rest of the division is winning as well, with the exception of the Brewers and the Cubs. So far pitching carried us as expected, while the batting average is only at .229. John Rodriguez is the only first team regular who is batting better than .300.
Up next is a trip to America's first capital, where the Phillies try to rebound from a "first to last" season. Their pitching is reason for concern though, as they rank dead last with a 6.04 ERA. And without Cole Hamels they's stay at 1-9.
