July Recap


Another month of this long season is behind us and LA finishes with a 13-13 record, or the best record in any month all year long. As of right now, LA is dead last, in 6th place with a 44-62 record, 32.5 games behind the Astros for first in the West. We are very close to the official end of the season. Once that happens these games will float right by. In fact, that Astros magic number is 34, and we're 32.5 back. It's that close.


The Dodgers are the worst team in the NL in runs scored. But, they've improved to 9th in AVG (.242), 10th in OBP (.308) and 9th in HR (68). The team didn't have anyone who was good in July. Guerrero was probably the best. He lead the team with a whopping 5 HR's in the month. His slash line was .258/.320/.483. Von Hayes was next with 4 HR's and a team leading 14 RBI's, with a line of .245/.291/.392. God Awful. Henderson's OBP of .371 lead the team, but his .223 AVG was horrid. Barrett hit .176 and Scioscia hit .225.


The pitching was the only reason we won 13 games. LA is 8th in the NL in ERA, and the bullpen is all the way up to 4th. Defensively, the team has dropped down to 6th in the NL. Who would have thought that Jim Beattie would be the best pitcher of the month? Beattie was 1-1 with a 1.71 ERA in 5 starts and 31 innings. Even his WHIP was an impressive 1.01. Tanana was next. In his 8 games he pitched over 20 innings, with an ERA of 1.77. Viola had a 2-2 record, even though his ERA was 2.53 and his WHIP 1.10. Too many guys sucked though too. Bryn Smith was 1-2 with a 4.70 ERA and Ken Howell was 1-3 with a crazy 7.50 ERA.


The team sucks. They are really bad on the road (.321), against lefties (.286) and in extra innings (.222) Let's see just how bad, and if who we might end up drafting as a result.
