Next, I'd just like to say that I'm a little frustrated at how the articles end up looking in the Milton Independent. The articles that I'm submitting don't really look or sound like how I write them. I guess that happens. But I hope people enjoy them and the articles are all posted on here exactly how I write them.
As we're 3/4 of the way through the season, I thought it would be cool to look at the stats and pick out some things. First, the leaders:
AVG - Peet (.421); AB - McRae (43); H - McRae (18); 2B - McRae (4); RBI - Peet (15); BB - Peet (10); SB - Hurley (8); R - Hurley (10); OBP - Peet (.540); SLG - McRae (.558); OPS (OBP + SLG) - McRae (1.015).
Pitching (Minimum 15 IP): IP - Duchesneau (29.1); ERA - McRae (1.37); K - Hurley (17); W - Duchesneau, Hurley, Ferguson, McRae (2); CG - Hurley (1)
Notes: the team batting average is at an astounding .321 after 26 hits in the last two games...we average 2 steals a game...the season total for hits through 12 games is at 114, last year's total was 139 in 19 games...there have been 15 doubles through 12 games this year after 16 through 19 games last year...the team averages 5 strikeouts a game...through 12 games: 94 runs scored, 75 runs allowed...team ERA of 4.07...pitchers have 54 strikeouts to 41 walks.
Random notes of the day: the Padres and White Sox have a deal in place to send Peavy to Chi-Town. Since Peavy has a full-no trade clause, however, the deal is not done yet. For those of you wondering what Chicago is giving up, Peter Gammons says 4 players, none of which are Gordan Beckham (the great shortstop they drafted with their #1 pick last year out of Georgia)...the Yankees have won 8 straight...Ortiz finally hit a home run...Ellsbury tied an MLB record for most put-outs by an outfielder in a game (12).
At this point in the year, we look to be in position to grab a top 4 seed for the playoffs. Check back as I'll hopefully be doing a little something after each game.
