April Recap
LA went 12-9 in the month, good enough for second place in the West. The Padres, hold a tight 1 game lead on us. That series against us really put them up. It's early, but this team is struggling. Early on we were leading the NL in runs scored, but by the end of the month we are 10th in average, 8th in homers, and 7th in OBP. That's some of the lowest numbers we've put up.


The pitching staff is on track. Either first and second in all pitching categories and first in defense, despite a couple of horrendous defensive games.


Our bombers aren't bombing. Dwight Evans leads the team with 3 homers. Sid Bream had a good April and it's good to see that he got the nod over Greg Brock. Graig Nettles is awful. He's hitting .100 in part time play with 1 home run. Roy Smalley not much better at .156.


This team could be super explosive, but right now they aren't doing shit. If the pitching staff can hold it together we might be able to get back on track, but for now it's just not working.


Best record in baseball? California Angels at 15-6. Not sure why, they are among the bottom of the league in offense, and pitching is holding them together. Former Dodgers getting playing time with the Angels are Steve Garvey, Ken Landreaux and Dave Stewart.
