Offensively, still in the swamp, apparently. Runs Scored 12th.
Pitching & defense, much the same. Runs Against 1st.
For the month of July, 15-8 (.625)
The Penguins currently lead a weak division, we’re the only team in it with a .500+ record, so we have a 10 1/2 game lead. We clutch to 4th spot overall by our fingernails.
Not much else to say about things, really. Weak & inconsistent production out of 2, 5, 6 holes, Dihigo’s not having a career year, nor Bonds.
Schedule remaining, looks like Sept is the most dangerous for us. Aug & Oct we should be all right. [Moments are writing that, I look up to see we've lost the first two games in August. Fate is a smart-ass.]
Honestly, we’re doing surprisingly well for our first Diamond season.
But I’m reaching the “baffled how to improve without a 100k PP windfall” point, the players we need in those weak holes are really, really expensive. You know how expensive the premiere Catchers are.
This might be just about as far as we can reasonably progress.
