August in the Rear View Mirror

August in the Rear View Mirror

64 - 74 after five months of baseball. The Roxs definately picked things up going 10 - 5 on the road (but a mediocre 5 - 8 at home). 

Historical Winning Percentage vs Pythagorean Winning Percentage:

Another good month, too bad they played so-so at home.  

Runs Scored vs Runs Allowed Historical:

Pretty average month.  Wish we could be average through April and May.   If you look below to me it is and always has been the hitting that has let the Roxs down this year.

The lines are just arbitary set points I used to base my preseason prediction. Pitching is right where it needs to be but the offense...yikes! What does all this mean, well look at the graph below on predicted wins (versus last year) and I think it tells the whole story!
