We went 7-3 in our next 10, so you think I would be happy. But......I hate blowing big leads. I really do. In our last game, we had a 6-2 lead going into the 9th and we gave up 6 hits, 2 walks and made 2 errors and gave up 8 runs. Our entire team fell apart. Then, we scored 3 in the bottom, but lost 10-9. So I'm salty despite having the best record in the league. We are now 6 up on the Expos and Orioles for the best record.
Our 1st base platoon is the league MVP. Carlsen and Williams are a combined .310/.390/.670 with 34 home runs, 84 rbi's and 82 runs scored in our first 80 games.
Our SS may be the front runner for MVP. Cedeno has elevated his game massively as a 28 year old. A career .274 hitter, he is .321/.334/.506 with 11 homers, 16 doubles, 5 triples, 48 rbi 39 runs and 18 steals for a 3.4 offensive WAR. Defensively, in 75 games he has only committed 3 errors with a zone rating of 9.2 leading the league in chances.
Frias .325/.358/.623 21 HR 56 RBI
Carlsen .274/.399/.664 11 HR 27 RBI in 113 AB
Williams .317/.382/.701 23 HR 57 RBI in 221 AB
Jefferies .358/.424/.560 13 HR 42 RBI 59 runs 14 steals
Baerga .333/.353/.421 4 HR 36 RBI 44 runs 9 steals
Cedeno .321/.334/.506 11 HR 48 RBI 39 runs 18 steals
Erstad .315/.367/.517 11 HR 25 doubles 52 RBI 55 runs 6 steals
We sent down our rookie star of last year, Roosevelt Brown as he was struggling at .242 and just 1 HR. I called up Hayman, our surprise star at AAA and so far he's hitting .263 with 1 HR in 19 AB.
