O's assesment 5/2

DiamondDave · 05-02-2007, 02:03 PM

Well... the first month is over and done with... we've seen some good, we've seen some bad... we're sitting at 12-15, 3rd place, 5 games back of Boston... just about where I figured we would be...

The good...
Tejada hitting at a nice pace, 6th in the AL in batting at this time
Markakis and Mora with suprisingly good run production numbers
Loewen coming along with a very respectable ERA under 4
4 bullpen pitchers with ERAs under 2
Roberts with 11 steals already

The bad...
The next highest average after Tejada, of a regular starting player is Roberts at .257
206 team strikeouts on offense, 2nd worst only to Philly in the NL
125 walks by the pitching staff, 2nd worst only to the horrible Washington Nationals
Our 'ace' Bedard with an ERA over 6

I expected more after the 11-7 mark but the play became
sloppy & the starters cant go more than 5-6 innings & the
pen is being used to often.The hitting went south

So far we,ve lost Benson for the year,Penn,s out for the
season ,I feel that Wright is finished,Gibbons is batting
at.192 w/1 homer & 2rbi,s.

" Perloco" has no bench
so all in all we are Screwed again this yr.

Even though he's dead, he's the better choice! Superdelegates - Because even the Democratic party knows it's base is too stupid to make really important decisions.
