The Good
I was hoping to extend our lead over L.A. but it’s hard to complain about going 20-8 and maintaining our spot in 1st place. Should we just make a permanent spot in this section for Tatis Jr.? He had another stellar month with a .333/.410/.556 line with 9 doubles, 5 HR, and 23 RBI. Dickerson finally looked like himself with a .361/.392/.649 line, 13 doubles, and 5 HR. Franmil Reyes led the team with 7 HR, more than doubling his season total prior to this month.
On the other side of the ball, our starters were cruising this month. Weathers went 5-0 with a 1.45 ERA and 0.83 WHIP. Paddack went 2-2 with a 3.58 ERA and 0.98 WHIP. Bieber went 4-0 with a 1.70 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and 12.6 K/9.
The Bad
Not much to complain about this month. If I had to choose, I could look at the youngster Elvis Luciano who experienced some growing pains coming out of the pen this month. He posted a 7.53 ERA with a 1.67 WHIP. Definitely a month to forget for the 24 year old, but also not enough to really hurt the team given how well we played.
The Ugly
Nothing to report! Just some nagging injuries, nothing major.
