September Recap

So September is for call ups. Boy did one man make a difference. The team just put the finishing touches on a 19-10 record. After that brutal start where they lost 6 games in a row, the team rebounded by losing only 3 after the 12^th. Those 3 losses by a total of 5 runs. The team was very, very good. For the season we are 94-64 and 4 full games up on the Padres with 4 games to play. The Padres, as I said earlier, the Padres started 14-1 and ended up 19-8. What are the chances that they would start the month 5 games back, play like that, and end up 4 games back.

The team is only 1 game away from the West title and another date with the Expos. With no Doug DeCinces.

September saw a big surge in offense and our team finally climbed out of the cellar, all the way to 11^th in team average. It's better than that. We're now 4^th in runs, 8^th in OBP, and 2^nd in HR's. We've hit 168 HR's this season. The pitching stayed near the top. Not the top, but near the top. 2^nd in runs against, ERA and defensive efficiency. The bullpen is the top in the NL. We're 1 game from the playoffs, and we're talented enough to make it further.

There were a few good performances in August, but there was 1 outstanding performance. Good enough that he won the NL Rookie of the Month. Pete Incaviglia nearly won a roster spot out of spring training, but he spent the year in AAA. Incaviglia's month was .326/.400/.652 and 7 HR's and 16 RBIs.
After lighting the world on fire in August, Sid Bream fell back to Earth in September. Bream only hit 2 HR's in the month and batted .224 with a .274 OBP , along with 22K's, way more than any other month.

The starters in all, did very well all month long, but the tops for the month was the return of the quality in the bullpen. Tops in the pen was Niedenfeur. He was straight dominant over 14 games, a 1.42 ERA, and a 0.63 WHIP. Eighteen K's in 12.1 IP. John Franco also found his way back to respectability with 8 saves and a 1.76 ERA in 13 games. Frank Tanana was again, the worst of the bunch, but he did get better. A 1-2 record with a 4.42 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP. We'll always have May.

The playoffs, except for the final dotted “i” in the contract, are set. More after the season finishes. We need to stay healthy. LA can't afford to lose anymore big names. DeCinces could be enough to hurt us, the answers will come in time. It would be our 4^th title in 5 years.
