2023 Spokane Indians Schedule

[David]

The following is the 2023 Regular Season Schedule for the Spokane Indians.

Spokane enters its third season with the High Single-A format, along with the defending back-to-back league champion Eugene Emeralds, Everett AquaSox, Hillsboro Hops, Tri-City Dust Devils and Vancouver Canadians. All six teams will continue to play in a division-less league, with no plans in the future to restore the North and South divisions of the original NWL.

The Northwest League season runs from early April through mid-September, playing a total of 132-games (66 home/66 away).

Spokane enters its third season as a minor league affiliate of the Colorado Rockies. Year Two of the Spokane-Colorado pipeline began with the Indians beginning the season in April for the first time since 1982. They would finish the first month of the season with a 10-10 record, following it up with a successful May with a 14-10 mark to climb into 1st place at the end of May with a 24-20 record. However, a rocky June record of 11-14 would see them fall out of the top spot, finishing the first half of the season at 34-30 and 4.5 games behind Eugene. The Indians would begin the second half of the season with a win, but would struggle off and on for the rest of the season, amassing a 30-36 second half record for a 64-66 overall record. Spokane held its playoff destiny for second place in the league behind Vancouver, but would lose 5 of 7 games against Vancouver and 4-6 in its final 10 games to fall out of playoff contention.

The 2023 season begins April 7th on the road against Vancouver in a three-game series. Spokane will then return home the following week, kicking off a 6-game home stand against the back-to-back defending champion Eugene Emeralds.

Spokane will have a stretch of two weeks (June 13-25, August 8-20) of their longest homestands, taking on Eugene and Tri-City in the first set, and Hillsboro and Tri-City in the second set. Spokane will only see two long road trip this season, spanning from May 30-June 11th with trips to Tri-City and Hillsboro, and July 25-August 6 with trips to Eugene and Everett.

Monthly update: After seeing the entirety of their opening series against the Vancouver Canadiens wiped out due to inclement weather and wet grounds, Spokane finally got the 2023 started at home against the Eugene Emeralds. 

Spokane has played 3 series in April and has split all three series against Eugene, Tri-City Dust Devils and Everett AquaSox.

Spokane ends the month with a 9-9 record, placing them 4th in the Northwest League behind Eugene (12-8), Everett (11-9) and Vancouver (9-8). 

[David]

Monthly update: Much like their first three series in April, May began the same way: the Indians splitting the series, this time on the road against the Eugene Emeralds.

Returning home, Spokane would find itself in some wild high scoring games, outscoring Hillsboro 38-12 in the first 3 games of the series, including a wild 11-10 victory. However, Spokane would drop the next two, forcing the decisive rubber match in the final game of the series, a 9-8 victory that secured Spokane's first series win of the season. Spokane would secure its second series win of the season, dropping the first and last games of the series to the Everett AquaSox, but securing the series win with 4 straight wins in the middle of the series.

Spokane would return home to take on Vancouver for the first time in 2023, making up 2 of the 3 games lost from the start of the season due to field conditions and rain. Spokane would go 3-5, losing both double header match-ups. However, they would bounce back traveling down to Pasco to take on the rival Tri-City Dust Devils, securing the first two games of the series.

Spokane went 16-12 in the month of May. Entering June, Spokane is tied with Vancouver for 1st place in the Northwest League with 25-21 records. They continue their series against Tri-City for the rest of the first week of June, and sit 1.5 games ahead of Eugene & Everett (both 24-23).

[David]

Monthly Update: The month of June got off to a rocky (no pun intended) start; after taking the first two games of the series against the Tri-City Dust Devils to end May, Spokane would drop 3 of the next 4 in the series, getting a series split.

A road trip to Hillsboro would turn Spokane's fortunes around, as Spokane would win shootouts with the Hops, taking the first 5 of the series. However, Spokane would miss out on the Sweep, but would come out ahead and in first place in the Northwest League Standings.

However, Spokane would proceed to run into a buzz saw; after taking the first game against the Emeralds, the Indians would lose the next 5 games (and the series) to the Emeralds. The losses to the Emeralds effectively ended Spokane's chances at winning the first half title, as Spokane would plummet to 5th place in the standings at 33-32, including a season high 6 game losing streak.

Spokane would bounce back in the second half of the regular season, taking 4 of 6 from Tri-City at home, but hav struggled in the trip across the border to visit the Vancouver Canadians. Spokane enters July on a 4-game losing streak.

Spokane enters July with a 3-4 record in the 2nd half standings, ranking 4th in the Northwest League Standings. Overall, Spokane's record places them 4th, at .500 (36-36). Spokane kicks off the July slate with a Canada Day game against Vancouver in Vancouver, followed by a 4th of July home opener against the Everett AquaSox.

[David]

Monthly Update: After a loss on Canada Day to the Vancouver Canadians in Vancouver, and nearly getting swept by the Canadians in their series that began on June 27th, the Spokane Indians would bounce back to win 5 of their next 7 games, taking their home series against Everett 4-2 entering the All-Star Break.

However, coming out of the All-Star Break would prove to not be beneficial to the Indians as Spokane would drop 2 of 3 to the Tri-City Dust Devils in a 3-game series before a rematch series with Vancouver. Spokane would go on to lose 4 of the 6 games in that series, taking the finale in an exciting 11-8 victory. However, Spokane would see disappointment on a road trip to Eugene, losing the first four of the series to the Emeralds before bouncing back to claim the last 2 games of the series to end the month with a 10-13 mark.

Spokane enters August with a 13-17 record in the 2nd half standings, remaining in 4th place in the Northwest League standings. Overall, Spokane's record places them in 5th with a 46-49 record. Vancouver currently leads the league in 1st place once again, meaning that the 2nd place winner of the second half would claim the second spot in the NWL Championship. Spokane sits 3 games out of 2nd, held by the Everett AquaSox (16-14) and 2 back of Eugene (15-15).

[David]

Monthly Update: After stealing the final two games of the series against Eugene to end the month of July, an encouraging 9-6 win over the AquaSox in Game 1 of the 6-game series in Everett looked to carry momentum for Spokane to go off on another winning streak. However, Spokane would go on to lose 4 of the next 5. Fortunes would not smile upon the Indians upon their return home, losing 4 of 6 to the Hillsboro Hops. 

Fortune appeared to smile upon the Indians as they took 3 of the first 4 against the Tri-City Dust Devils. However poor air quality in the Eastern Washington region resulted in the final two games of the series being cancelled. After two extra days of rest, a trip to Vancouver would mark it two consecutive series won as Spokane would take 4 of 6 from the 1st place Canadians. A return home to Spokane for its final homestand of the year began with disappointing 11-5 and 6-4 losses, and a game that was cancelled due to rain, due to be made up on Saturday.

Spokane enters September with a 25-29 record in the 2nd Half standings, remaining in 4th place once again in the Northwest League Standings. The Indians overall record places them in 4th Place as well, with an overall mark of 58-61.

Spokane's playoff chances are slim entering the last two weeks of the regular season, with their Elimination Number at 2, meaning they cannot lose more than 2 games if they wish to claim the #2 spot in the league standings. Vancouver already won the 1st Half Championship by finishing 1st, and currently sit in 1st place again in the 2nd Half of the Season. Since the Canadians won the 1st Half title, if they win the 2nd Half once again, the 2nd and final playoff spot goes to the 2nd place team -- the AquaSox. Spokane must win most if not all of their games to have a chance, but the odds are not favorable. 

[David]

Monthly Update: Spokane kept its slim playoff hopes alive, but a loss in Game 1 of a Double Header to the Everett AquaSox eliminated the Indians from playoff contention. Spokane would go on to win the 2nd game of the double header, but would lose the series 4-2. Spokane finished its season on the road, dropping 4 of 6 to the Hillsboro Hops.

Spokane finishes the season with a 29-35 record in the 2nd Half, placing 5th out of the 6 teams, just above the Tri-City Dust Devils (23-40). The Indians fare better in the NWL's overall league standings, finishing in 4th with a 62-67 overall mark above Tri-City (57-72) and Hillsboro (56-76).
