Philly Freedom (64-53; 1.0 GB)
2-1 vs Morgantown: 10-2, 4-1, 1-3
2-1 vs Windy City: 8-7, 0-1, 8-5
The Good
-Jim Newlin, if it wasn’t for Geoff Scott he’d easily be the best player on the team. This week Newlin put up a line of .435 | .500 | .696 | 1.196; with 3 2B, 1 HR and 6 RBI
-Geoff Scott is really starting to turn it on and that’s saying something considering his lowest OPS month of the season was April, and that was .930. This week: .333 | .462 | .667 | 1.128; with 1 2B, 2 HR and 7 RBI. He is quietly putting up one hell of a season.
-The offense as a whole: .284 | .373 | .437 | .810; scored 31 runs in 6 games. That’s another week with 5+ runs per game (5.43 R/Gm Post All-Star Break). It’s quite a turnaround from our 1st half average of 3.99 R/Gm.
-Doug “Light” Miles - He’s young. He’s inconsistent. He’s prone to flashes of brilliance. This week: 6.1 IP | 2 HA | 0 ER | 1 BB | 11 K in a 4-1 win over MOR.
The Bad
-Despite the note above about improved offensive production, we had 2 pitchers this week post ERA<1.20 over 7 2/3 IP or more that failed to pick up a victory (Ben Irvin and Joe Ponte). Hell, Ponte suffered the indignity of actually losing his start while allowing only 1 R in his effort opposite Dunmore Theodore in a pitchers’ duel.
-We’ll take a 4-2 week, especially at home where we have inexplicably struggled to maintain a .500 record, but when your offense has a productive week and your pitching staff puts up a team ERA|WHIP combination of 2.78 | 1.04 for the week you might expect to fair a little better.
What’s Next
-Interleague play. Time to pay the piper. This week sees us going to Maine for what will probably be a hide tanning. We’ll probably be so shell shocked after that series that we’ll end up sleep walking through the following three game set with Hartford. Prediction for the week 1-5.
