This Week In Paw: Call of the Wild(card)

Hello everybody! Just when you thought that your week couldn’t get any better, it’s time for the 990WBOB Sports PawSox Weekly Update. The end of the season is nigh and the race for the playoffs is tightening up. Will the PawSox squeak in or will the 2012 Governors' Cup Champions sit this one out? Tune in to find out.

Where They Stand
PawSox
There are 17 games left of the 2013 IL Season. Right now, the PawSox are making their playoff push. They've won six straight, putting them at 67-59. However they're still in second place in the IL North Division, one game back from the Rochester Red Wings

Call of the Wild
After trailing both the Buffalo Bison and Norfolk Tide for that high-coveted wildcard spot, the PawSox have reclaimed it. They sit 1.0 games above the 67-61 (.523) Norfolk Tides and 1.5 games above the 66-61 (.520) Buffalo Bison. If things continue the way they are, this would mark the 3rd season in a row that the PawSox got into the postseason via wildcard stemming back from 2011.

Old Reliable
Picture
On August 13th, the Pawtucket Red Sox received C David Ross from Double-A Portland on a rehab assignment. A 12-year veteran in the majors, David Ross signed with the Red Sox this past off season primarily as a defensive catcher. In 23 games this season, he went 12-for-65 (.185) with 4 HR and 6RBI, scoring on 8 runs.

However Ross has spent most of the 2013 season on the disabled list due to concussions. He was put on the 60-DL on June 18th after complications from his second concussion (he spent from May 12th-24th on 7-day DL with first concussion). Ross began his rehab assignment on at Double-A Portland Sea Dogs on August 10th, appearing in three games. He went 2-for-6 (.333) with 1 BB, 2 RBI, and 2 Runs scored. 

Currently as it stands, in 3 games in Pawtucket, Ross is 0-for-9 (.000) with 1 walk, 4 strikeouts, has an OBP of .100, slugging percentage of .000, and an OPS of .167. He will be eligible to return to Boston August 18th.

Craving Some Buffalo Wings
Picture
After finishing up with the Louisville Bats, the remaining opponents for the PawSox are all going to be IL North Divisional opponents. Up first will be the Buffalo Bison from August 17th to the 20th at McCoy. 

This will be a crucial 4 game series because both teams are competing for the IL North Divisional title and the wildcard spot. The PawSox are 6-6 against the Bison this season, including 3-1 at McCoy.

That’s it for your PawSox weekly update. This is Scoop Fox, signing off.
