Finn’s Commentary
I’m impressed with our team’s progress from last month! We improved a lot on the pitching side, and our offense still ranks in the top three in our league in almost every category. We got a lot more aggressive on the bases and jumped from 8 steals to 37, while keeping a stellar success rate at 80.4%.
We’re still faced with some issues as far as lineups go. A lot of our guys have been on hot streaks, but a lot of it is about trying to get everyone in the lineup and trying to figure out that best combo still. We’re in a position now, with Ben Miller up, that if he hits well enough, he may force us into a strange position between him, Hosmer, Beltre, and Gallo. They can all play, but then you have DeShields, Stubbs, and Pompey all fighting for one spot in center field, and they’ve all been playing very well of late. I don’t know, man.
We’ve also considered shaking up the pitching staff a bit. Andrew Cashner may get bumped into the bullpen for a while, but we need Yu and Martin Perez to get back before that happens, this spot starter thing really isn’t working out too well.
19-9, though. Woo.
