Detroit Dynamo's July 1936 Report
July Record 11-17
Overall Record 36-66
July got off to a solid start early but the team faded down the closing of the month. The team appears headed to their 2nd straight last place finish in the FA and team owner Eddie Thompson is currently very upset although he was angry before the All-Star Break. OF Irv Brady who was picked up at the beginning of the month, has been a solid hitter and brought some more stability and leadership to the club.
July's top hitters
1B Bill Moore 362/463/971 10 RBI's with 10 doubles
OF Ray Cochran 355/383/949 3-16
SS Slim Bloom 333/370/790 0-4 8R
Producing runs is still a large problem for this team. While their production in July is better than their early season numbers, the 4.07 rpg (114 runs scored) is still not going to cut it in the FA where most teams are scoring 5+ a game (league average is 5.4). The issue of scoring enough runs is quickly becoming this organizations top priority.

While run production has been a season long problem, the pitching in the first half of the year was noticeably better. That stopped in July when signs of the 35 pitching staff reared its ugly head. The team ERA in July was 6.33 which was worse than the numbers seen last year (barely). There really is much positive to say about it right now. We hope that it is just a horrible month and not a sign for things to come.
The team's run differential for July was -66 scoring 114 runs and giving up 180. So looking that it could have been a worse month for the team.
