Roger Lewis to Retire

Roger Lewis will not return to the Portland Decepticons for a 21st season, despite being only 3 wins away from 300. 

After an excellent 2017 season where he won 14 games with a 2.25 ERA, Roger came into spring training missing about 4 MPH off his fastball.  His velocity loss could not be attributed to an injury, but there was nothing he could do to get it back and found himself unable to get consistent outs.

Roger finished the 2018 season pitching out of the bullpen, threw 69.1 innings and had a 5.84 ERA.  He had no desire to struggle through another season if he could not pitch up to his high standards, and elected to walk away from the game.
