Week Two Recap

Taking a look at the season schedule GM Chris Renner knew that one of the toughest stretches of the Miracles schedule was at the very beginning of the season.  The first six weeks looked very difficult with the Miracles facing Gaylord, Flying Squirrels, Hackensack and South Texas.  That is a big hill to climb early in the season, Renner was quoted back in March.  Now the two easier weeks have turned into very tough matches as well.  Atlantic and Charlotte are off to outstanding starts to the season and the Miracles find themselves with an even tougher row to hoe.  Currently ranked #5 in eMLB the Atlantic Surge come to town in what should be a very entertaining match.  Best of luck to both teams.

Pitchfork of the week goes to Matt Joyce.  An .077 average and 0's across the board forced manager Renner to put Joyce on the bench.  He will be replaced by another slow starter in David Murphy.  As the Texas weather heats up so will Murphy.  Todd Frazier had as poor a week in week 2 as he had a good one in week one.  Frazier will be give a bit more rope and will find himself in the Miracle OF starting in week four as Chase Headley looks to come off the DL and man 3B once again.

Halo of the week goes to Paul Maholm who posted 2 wins, 14 strikeouts an ERA of 0.00 and a WHIP of 0.61.  The Atlanta Braves starter has had a spectacular beginning to 2013 and while he isn't the biggest name out there the Miracles always seem to find their fair share of quality pitchers and 2013 looks to be no different.

Next Up...Atlantic Surge who are off to an excellent start to the 2013 season.  This will be a difficult task for the Miracles but GM/Manager Chris Renner likes the matchup and predicts that after three weeks the Miracles will find themselves back at the .500 mark.  Note to GM Sankey...that mean we will have the same number of wins as losses. 

Prediction  Miracles 8-4
