A three-game losing streak to end the month left us three games behind the Sidney City Scorpions in the TBL East. We lost 15 games total on the month. Our base running, usually tops in the league, has slipped to 13th place. Claude Speech is hitting just .171 and B.J. Pallister just .216. We have hit for some power, with Miguel Bello providing 17 home runs and De'Andre Harris 15. Nadif Awuah has been solid as usual, with a 2.87 ERA.
Around the league, the Patrick Legends lead the WC with a 44-34 record. Joseph Johnson of the Lenaway Storm is doing is best to repeat his Player of the Year performance from last season, and Tim Adams of the Silverley Mustangs is leading the league in batting average as usual. Max Covert of the Freeton Crusaders is making me wish I had ponied up the $250M it would have taken to get him.
I've got some money in the budget after dumping Kjell Skjervold prior to this season, and I can get one of the better international amateurs- probably Valorian pitcher Aaron Pabon. Additionally, I can probably swing a trade for an expiring contract or two if we remain in the hunt.
