Muckdogs Star Wrecks One-Of-A-Kind Car: Batavia star Jarod Goldberg is known for his hard-driving play on the field, but after what happened this week, he should probably drive a little more carefully on the roads.
The star closer was driving late at night on a winding road and smashed right into a highway barrier. He escaped with only scrapes and bruises and is listed as day-to-day, but the bigger injuries are to his wallet and his pride--the car, which was completely totaled, was a custom-built luxury Maybach valued at half a million dollars.
He angrily declined to take questions as he limped out of an Batavia-area hospital last night, but his publicist released the following statement: "Jarod is happy to be home with his family, and knows how lucky he is to have escaped nearly unhurt. He will be more careful in future, and he knows that cars, unlike people, can always be replaced."
Maybe so, but if he wants to be able to replace this one, he may need to drive a hard bargain when he next comes to the negotiating table.
Kemp Signs for 6 years: The latest news from the BNN reporters following the Philadelphia Freedom is that an agreement has been reached with R.J. Kemp to continue as their first baseman for another 6 years.
Looking at his stats this year, Kemp has compiled a .202 batting average, while hitting no home runs and driving in 11 runs. He has played in 28 games and scored 12 runs.
Star RP Krause Signs for 3 years: The Batavia Muckdogs have finished a deal with All Star-caliber reliever Terry Krause that will extend his stay in Batavia at least 3 years and will pay out $9,600,000.
This year Krause has collected no saves in 12 relief appearances. He has also compiled a 0-0 won-lost mark with a 0.75 ERA and fanned 11 batters in 12 innings. Opponents are hitting him at a .238 clip in 2016.
McPherson Belts Bunch of Base Hits: What a day for Jamie McPherson of the Los Angeles Dinos! A 5-hit hitting spree! That doesn't happen every day! He ripped Death Valley pitching apart at Sonata Stadium and sparked the Dinos to a 15-0 victory. He wrote his name in the record books, finishing his special day 5 for 5. "I'm usually a first ball hitter," McPherson told BNN reporters in the postgame press conference. "I think pitchers think batters are going to let the first one go by. I never do. I've always found that it's better to pull the trigger early in the count. Pitchers get real nasty when they get ahead of you, so I try to avoid that." Jamie McPherson singled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 5th and singled in the 7th.
In 31 games this year McPherson has posted a .358 average and put up these numbers: 5 home runs, 15 RBIs and 26 runs scored.
Star RP Signs Extension with Batavia: Batavia fans celebrated as word of a signing became reality. Martin Diaz won't be pulling up stakes anytime soon, as he has signed a 2-year extension at a pay rate of $3,000,000 per annum.
Since he is widely seen as an integral part of the club, Batavia officials had to keep Diaz from jumping ship.
This season Diaz has recorded no saves with a 0-2 record. He's made 17 relief appearances, tossed 11.2 innings while fanning 13 with a 5.40 ERA.
