Frustration Boils Over In The Land of Tundra

It was another lackluster few days for the Beavers, losing to Los Cabos, but then taking the win over them against a former Beaver in Allan Landry.  But the highlight of the sim was the first game between New Orleans Looters and the Beavers at the Beaver Dam.

After SP Carlos Castillo was shelled, the Beaver bullpen took over with MacBride coming in to calm things down, only to give way to Wayne Poole.  After surrendering a solo bomb, Poole wanted to see how mentally tough these clowns are from New Orleans.  Clearly not tough at all, Poole merely tried to brush back Errol Hughes at the plate with a 95 MPH fastball, only to see Hughes lean into it.

"What the f*** is this bulls&$*!" Wayne Poole could be heard yelling to Retardo Hughes.  Hughes clearly does not enjoy having his real name uttered and so in tune went all postal on Poole.  Local TV station Inuit 10468 on Bell ExpressVu was there to capture it all.

After the game Poole stated, "I was simply brushing him back from my plate, there's a written rule in baseball to try and do everything possible to avoid being hit.  Clearly Hughes is too stupid to figure that one out.  So I attempted to pummel some sense into him."

"I do not condone any statements Wayne Poole makes, I will review his statements and determine if a fine is in order," GM Aaron Blank phoned into local media from an undisclosed location.

Moving on, the Beavers do have a few bright spots, the top 3 performers these past few days were
1B Charlie Murdock : 23 AB, 9 H, 2 HR, 5 RBI, .391 AVG, 1.130 OPS
OF Michael Jackson : 12 AB, 6 H, 0 HR, 3 RBI, .500 AVG, 1.333 OPS
OF Damien Yates : 22 AB, 7 H, 1 HR, 5 RBI, .318 AVG, .920 OPS

After Carlos Castillos shelling, it has been determined he will be moved back down to AAA to get some innings in, this was the first time he pitched in 2014.  Making the jump up will be a semi-familiar face to Baffin, Bobby Dunlap, who was with the team in ST and a cup of coffee in 2013 will be taking Castillos spot in the roto.  Dunlap's numbers last year with the Beavers were  3-6 with a 4.85 ERA.  He will be given an honest chance to stay up with the big club.

The Beavers look forward to the next few games against El Paso and playoff Rival LA Bruins.
