A 2-4 road trip against the Brewers and Mets (is it me or does it seem we have played the Mets alot this year?). The All-Star break is here. The Roxs currently stand at 39-57. Eight and half games back from division leading D-backs in fourth place. Currently 25-21 at home and 14-36 on the road (on pace for only 23 wins which would be the worst in franchise history), the Roxs have been outscored by its opponents 419-507 (expected wins is 40 versus historical wins at 45). On pace for 66 wins with 707 runs scored and 856 runs against.
Weekly WPA leaders (overall as well):
Sigh, the week before we have an offensive explosion and this week in NY we get shutout in back to back games and in one game we get only one hit. For a team which generated so much offense last year it is maddening that the hits just aren't coming. Alas last year was last year and teams that tend to progress forward in one year tend to come back to earth the next but in a year when the division is certainly winable it is tough to shallow that we missed a chance to repeat. Big question will be who is here and gone in August. My guess is that Fuentes and Podsednik are gone, perhaps Herges as well. I also think Holliday will be here this year and probably get dealt this winter. We shall see and is this the end of Helton?
