June Recap

The best month yet! Yet, that's not saying anything good about this year. LA finished the month of June with a 12-16 record, and now stand at 31-49 on the year, in last place in the West, and 27.5 games behind the Astros. Heading into July the only question should be, who is going to be traded? It's got to be Guerrero. I mean, really. He's got 1 year left, and has value. Tanana perhaps? Maybe Price, DiPino? Maybe they even move Rickey? He could bring something. He has a couple years left, but he's a clubhouse cancer and it's killing the team. Plus he's one of the highest paid guys on the team.

We still suck at hitting. LA is 12^th in runs scored, and 10^th in average (.239) and OPB (.304). The team leader in HR's is Guerrero with 9. He also leads the team in average with a .269. There were no offensive weapons in June. The top hitter all around was, Mike Scioscia. Scioscia had a .287/.341/.438 slash line and he lead the team in HR's with 3. Inky played in 5 games and fell 1 shy of tying him. So bad. Who was bad? Everyone else. Rickey hit .188/.310/.250. Pedro hit .235/.303/.370. The guys who had been the best, are suddenly not producing.

Pitching wise, the team is 7^th in the league in ERA. The starters were 9^th and the bullpen 7^th. Opponent average was 5^th. If there was any offense at all, we might be close a .500 team. At Chavez Ravine, LA is 21-19, while the road is hard and they're only 10-30. Lefties are harder on the team (5-16) than righties are (26-33). Defensively, LA has dropped to 5^th in the NL. This is the lowest that we've been all year long. The top pitcher for June was DiPino, who pitched in a club high 11 games. Throwing 15 innings with a 1.20 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP. Franco was also good with 5 saves and 11.2 innings of scoreless baseball in just over 11 innings. The top starter Frank Tanana (again, remind me how wound up in the bullpen) who was 2-1 with a 3.30 ERA in 30 innings. Tanana had a 1.30 WHIP. Who wasn't? Not Joe Price, who was 1-1 with a 6.30 ERA and a 2.10 WHIP and not Bryn Smith 1-4, 5.70 and a 1.54. Viola pitched 41 innings and allowed only 34 hits and 11 walks, but still had a 4.97 ERA and a .214 OAVG. Some bad luck? Bad something.

Is it next year yet?

The Astros are crushing the souls of the West. With a 59-22 record they are 18 games in front of the Reds, who are only 9.5 in front of LA. That's a big gap. In the East, the Pirates and Expos are at the top, followed by the Mets and Phillies only 1.5 behind. It's a very tight race. In the AL, the Orioles have lost the wonderkid, Griffey Jr for the rest of the year, but they still find themselves in front in the East, with a 3.5 game lead on the Red Sox and Yankees. In the West, it's the White Sox out front by 1.5 over the Mariners.

Just how dominating are the Astros? They are 2^nd in the NL in all offensive categories, and first in steals. Their pitching staff is first in every category and they are #1 in defense. It's pretty sick. They should roll to their 2nd straight title.

For LA, the year is over. We're not completely out, but it's not far off. I wonder if there will be any good sales this year?
