June Recap

How can a 19-10 month be underwhelming? No idea. It was a great month for the Dodgers. They sit with the best record in baseball at 56-25 as the break approaches. Another 50 wins will equal last year's total. LA is a full 15 games up on the Reds and Padres. The magic number is 67. It's not even the break yet. It should be just a matter of time before the pennant is ours. Yet LA only has the lead on the best record by 2 games. Montreal is in full control in the East.

LA released a statement on Scioscia. He's going to be out until August at least with a back issue. That's not great. He's not been a big offensive producer, but his defense has been good and he gets on base. This will push Buck Martinez into the starting role. He's also good defensively, but he's lost a step and isn't much of an offensive threat.

From last year to this year, the biggest change has been on defense. LA has the #1 defensive team in baseball. It shows. Many of the games that we've lost have been because of defensive issues in that game. Randolph and Templeton have been outstanding and a massive improvement.

Offensively, the team is slightly behind last year's team. They are 2^nd in runs scored, 5^th in avg, but first in obp and hr's. The pitching staff is similar. With them being first in runs against, and starter ERA. While the bullpen is a lowly 4^h. Not nearly as good at that 1^st last year.

Still, this is a good team.

Willie Randolph has to go to the AS game. He's been nothing short of a stud. Dwight Evans has been the bullwark of offense in most games and Dwayne Murphy is slowly recovering from that poor start.

The starters have been carrying this team mostly. Tanana may be losing favor with Lasorda, and Wilcox might be getting a bump. Tanana is the only starter with an ERA above 3. Pena is a legit Cy Young candidate at this point and Neidenfuer has a shot as the fireman award.

Team health will be key as we turn the season toward the homestretch. It looks like the pennant is ours to lose, but there are 5 other good teams in the league that can easily take us out. We've seen it each of the last couple years.
