Ryu? Pitched one scoreless inning, one hit. At least he actually appeared in the game.
For July, 12-11 (.522). For the season, 52-54 (.491) Division 2nd Overall 15.
We’re out of the wildcard race, as far as I can see. It’s either catch up to the division leader or watch the post-season on television. We’re 5 GB, and we don’t do well against FFXIV. 9 games to play against him, 3 road and 6 home.
Looking pretty long shot, the press is not excited.
Max is finally pitching well, but he’s getting a reputation as a headhunter (12 HP in 23G, wowsa). We moved Clevinger in at #5, because he’s having an amazing year in the bullpen (BABIP .184, ERA 0.53 over 51 IP), so we’ll see if he can stand up in the starter job. Couldn’t do much worse than the previous parade of pitchers through the five hole.
Defense is humming along, the schedule ahead is mildly favorable (except for 26 road/24 home and one brief shark attack). But if we’re going to make up 5 games in two months, the offense needs to step it up.
