Current Day Review on frontpage

7/30/07

Batting

• Alex Gordon - 1/4 with his 22nd double.  He hit 3rd yesterday for the first time this season.  He's 10 for his last 24 with 7 extra base hits - the move to the 3rd spot should boost his RBI totals slightly over the remaining 2 months.

• Ross Gload - 3/5 with a double (13).  He looks like he wants to hold onto the job even when Shealy returns.  He has a 8 game hitting streak, during which time he is 13 for 27 with 6 extra base hits. 

• Bobby Abreu - 2/3 with a double (23) and 2 walks to break a 2/17 slump.

• Melky Cabrera - 3/5 with 2 doubles (14).  He is 9 for his last 18 with 5 extra base hits.

• Nick Markakis - 3/5 with 2 doubles (29).

• Miguel Tejada - 3/5 in his 3rd game back from the DL.  He's 5 for 13 with a double since his return.

• Johnny Damon - 3/5 with a double (16).  He's 13 for his last 36 with 6 doubles.

• Adrian Beltre - 2/4 with his 16th home run to extend his hitting streak to 5 games.  He's having the best season since 2004.

• Mike Piazza - 3/5 with 3 RBI.  On fire since his return from the DL with a .367 average and 2 home runs in 30 at bats.

• Kurt Suzuki - 2/3 with a double (3) and a walk - breaking a 0-10 slump.  He has a 5/1 bb/k ratio in his last 9 games.

• Willy Mo Pena - 2/3 with a double (8).  Being showcased for a potential trade?

• Kevin Youklis - 2/4 to break a 2-17 slump.  His .307 average is the lowest it's been since the middle of May. 

• Manny Ramirez - 1/4 with a home run (18).  His 7th home run since the break.

• Akinori Iwamura - 2/5 to extend his hitting streak to 5 games.  He's 7 for 16 during this time.

• B.J. Upton - 1/4 with his 13th home run.  Hitting well, but no steals since his return from the DL.

• Chone Figgins - 3/5.  He's now 11 for his last 19 with 8 runs in his last 4 games.

• Casey Kotchman - 2/4 to extend his hitting streak to 11 games.  He has 5 doubles during this time and looks like he's on the verge of another power stretch with doubles in 4 consecutive games. 

• Jose Reyes - 2/3 with 2 doubles (24) and a steal (49).

• J.J. Hardy - 3/5.  He's hitting .219 since June 1st with 4 doubles and 3 home runs.  Surprisingly, he has a 15/17 bb/k ratio during that time vs. a 16/37 ratio over the first two months.  He's not as bad as he's been lately, but he's not as good as he was over the first 2 months either.

• Russell Martin - 3/4 with 2 doubles (25).

• Jeff Kent - 4/5 with 3 RBI.  He now has a 10 game hitting streak and is hitting .423 in July with 5 home runs and 17 RBI.

• Matt Holliday - 2/3 with a home run (20).  He has homered in 4 of his last 6 games.

• Jimmy Rollins - 3/4 with a triple (14). 

• Miguel Cabrera - 4/5 with a double (28) and a home run (25). 

• Hanley Ramirez - 2/5 with a double (31).

• Luke Scott - 3/5 with a home run (13).  He's 12 for 25 since July 17th and could become a regular player while Pence is out if he can stay hot.

• Eric Munson - 3/5 with a home run (4).

• Kevin Kouzmanoff - 2/6 with his 11th home run.  He has a 6 game hitting streak.

• Milton Bradley - 3/6 with his 2nd double.  He's hitting .333 with 4 home runs and a 9/10 bb/k ratio with San Diego.

• Mike Cameron - 3/5 with 2 doubles (25) and a home run (14) to break out of a 6 for 49 slump.

• Chipper Jones - 1/1 with a double (23) and 5 RBI.  What a bizarre stat line - came from 2 sacrifice flies and a bases clearing double.

• Jeff Franceour - 3/5 with 2 doubles (27)

Pitching

• C.C. Sabathia - 7.2 IP, 6 hits, 0 walks and 11 k's.  He now has 18 strikeouts in his last 14.2 innings while allowing only 11 hits and no walks.  Safe to say that he's back to his early season form.

• Matt Garza - 6 IP, 5 hits, 3 walks and 11 k's.  His best start of his major league career, and he lowered his ERA to 1.37.  His walks are a little high, 10 in 26.1 innings, but strikeouts are impressive (24).

• Daisuke Matsuzaka - 6.1 IP, 8 hits, 1 walk and 6 k's. 

• Scott Kazmir - 6 IP, 6 hits, 1 walk and 8 k's.  He's been great since the All-Star break, with 21 k's in 19.2 innings and only 14 hits allowed.  His 8 walks are high, but is a good number for him.

• Jeremy Bonderman - 2.1 IP, 9  hits, 3 walks and 4 k's.  As bad as these number look, he allowed 11 of the 12 baserunners to score.  A horrible start that will skew his numbers for the rest of the year, but he's still a top tier pitcher.  Pounce on him if you can.

• Shawn Marcum - 8 IP, 2 hits, 0 walks and 8 k's.  His best start since July 1st and his best strikeout performance since June 16th.

• John Maine - 5 IP, 1 hit, 0 walks and 5 k's.  A sub 3.00 ERA and a 12-5 record.  It's time to start taking him seriously - his peripheral numbers at the beginning of the year were a little overinflated due to the fact that he was walking a lot of hitters (34 in his first 61.1 innings), but in his last 66 innings, he has issued only 12 walks.

• Yvonni Gallardo - 5 IP, 4 hits, 2 walks and 7 k's.  Good peripheral numbers, but he allowed 4 of the 6 baserunners to score.

• Carlos Zambrano - 7.1 IP, 2 hits, 3 walks and 6 k's. 

• Ian Snell - 6 IP, 6 hits, 3 walks and 7 k's.  His best start since July 4th and his most walks issued since June 23rd.

• Kyle Kendrick - 7 IP, 6 hits, 1 walk and 4 k's.  His 23/15 k/bb ratio is very unimpressive, and he doesn't have a minor league history of very good strikeout or control numbers either.

• Tim Hudson - 7 IP, 3 hits, 1 walk and 5 k's. 

7/26/07

Batting

• Greg Zaun - 3/4 with a double (10) and a home run (5).  He's not a full time player, but he does have a 3 game hitting streak.

• Alex Rios - 2/5 and is up to .307 on the season.  He's hitting .386 since the All-Star break.

• Robinson Cano - 3/4 to extend his hitting streak to 7 games and he's now hovering just below .300 for the season.

• Ross Gload - 2/3 with 2 doubles (11) to extend his hitting streak to 4 games during which time he has 3 doubles and a home run.

• Chone Figgins - 3/5 with a double (14) and a stolen base (26).  He's up to .325 on the year.

• Casey Kotchman - 3/5 with a double (19).  Starting to heat back up - he has a 4 game hitting streak and is 7 for 13 during that time.

• Reggie Willits - 2/4 to extend his hitting streak to 3 games.  Only one stolen base since June 19th.

• Garret Anderson - 3/4 with a double (18).  He's having a great month, hitting .373 with 8 doubles since July 1st.

• Mike Piazza - 3/5 with his 3rd home run.  His 2nd in the last 3 games.

• Ryan Raburn - 4/5 with a double (2) and 2 home runs (3).  He's a 26 year old rookie with solid power/obp numbers in AAA the last two years - 98 extra base hits and 96 walks in 922 at bats.  Strikeouts are high (229), but not absurdly so.  Possibly trade bait?

• Curtis Granderson - 2/5.  He has 4 multi-hit games in his last 5 games played.

• Josh Fields - 2/4 with a home run (8).  He has 3 home runs in his last 4 games.

• Craig Monroe - 2/5.  He's 6 for his last 20 with 2 home runs, but he also has 7 k's during that time.

• Akinori Iwamura - 2/3 with a walk.  He's walked in 5 of his last 6 games, but has only one extra base hit since July 7th.

• Corey Patterson - 3/5 with a double (20) and a home run (5). 

• Ramon Hernandez - 2/3 with a double (10).  Three walks and only 1 strikeout in his last 4 games.

• Adrian Beltre - 3/5 with 3 doubles (26).

• Richie Sexson - 2/5.  He's 5 for his last 17 with only 3 strikeouts.

• Michael Young - 2/4 with a double (27).  His hitting streak is up to 9 games.

• Matt Holliday - 4/4 with 2 doubles (33) and a home run (18). 

• Garret Atkins - 3/4 to extend his hitting streak to 4 games.

• Carlos Lee - 2/4 with an RBI.  He now has 81 RBI on the year.

• Jeff Kent - 2/3 with a home run (15).  He now has a 9 game hitting streak with 4 home runs during this time.

• Nook Logan - 2/3 with stolen base (11).  Breaking a 0-13 slump.

• Ryan Theriot - 2/5 to extend his hitting streak to 6 games.  No extra base hits and 2 steals during this time.

• Alfonso Soriano - 3/5 with a double (29) and a triple (5). 

• Mike Fontenot - 2/5.  His average is up to .331 on the year.

• Juan Encarnacion - 4/4.  He's 11 for his last 20.

• Adam Dunn - 3/3 with a double (18).  He's approaching a .270 average.

• Connor Jackson - 2/4 with a double (18).  He's 7 for his last 20 with 2 doubles and a home run.  His strikeouts have picked up recently though, with 6 of his 32 k's coming in the last week.

• Paul LoDuca - 2/4 with 2 doubles (13).  He's 4/8 with 3 doubles in the series so far.

• Jason Bay - 1/3 with a home run (16).  His 3rd home run in 2 days.

• Jeff Franceour - 2/4 with a double (24).  He's hitting .382 since July 18th with 4 walks!

Pitching

• Jesse Litsch - 7 IP, 5 hits, 1 walk and 4 k's.  Since his recall he has sported a 2-2 record with a 2.22 ERA.  That is a very misleading number though - his WHIP during that time is 1.44 and he has a k/bb ratio of 12/9.

• Joe Blanton - 6 IP, 11 hits, 0 walks and 3 k's.  His fourth consecutive start of allowing 10+ hits.

• Jose Contreras - 4.2 IP, 12 hits, 9 runs, 3 walks and 3 k's.  That doesn't help his trade value.

• Erik Bedard - 6 IP, 6 hits, 2 walks and 8 k's. 

• Josh Beckett - 8 IP, 4 hits, 0 walks and 7 k's.  Strikeouts have picked back up lately, with a 34/5 k/bb ratio in his last 4 starts (28 innings).

• Fauston Carmona - 8 IP, 4 hits, 2 walks and 6 k's.  In July, he is 5-0 with a 1.57 ERA with 30 k's in 34.1 innings.  His strikeout rate has improved every month, from 3.1 in April, up to 7.9 in July.

• Aaron Cook - 9 IP, 7 hits, 0 walks and 2 k's.  Minimal strikeouts, but he does have a 2.51 ERA and a 3-1 record in hist last 6 starts.

• Matt Albers - 5 IP, 3 hits, 1 walk and 5 k's.  His first start in a month, and he's pitched well since he was recalled at the end of June.  In July, he has allowed only 9 hits in 14.1 innings while striking out 12.

• Cole Hamels - 7 IP, 6 hits, 1 walk and 6 k's. 

• Ted Lilly - 7 IP, 6 hits, 3 walks and 2 k's.  Only 3 strikeouts in his last 12 innings, but he's won each of his last 6 starts.

• Adam Wainwright - 5 IP, 9 hits, 1 walk and 7 k's.  Another good strikeout performance, but a poor outing overall - his worst since mid-May.

• Brandon Webb - 7 IP, 6 hits, 3 walks and 8 k's.  He has 30 strikeouts in his last 26.2 innings.

• Tom Gorzelanny - 2.1 IP, 7 hits, 3 walks and a strikeout.  Left early with a shoulder injury.

• Noah Lowry - 8 IP, 7 hits, 2 walks and 4 k's. 

• Chuck James - 6 IP, 7 hits, 2 walks and 5 k's.  Not a great strikeout pitcher, but has a 1.47 ERA since June 29th.  Somehow he's only 2-1 in these 5 starts.

7/25/07

Batting

• Curtis Granderson - 2/4 with a double (29) and a home run (15).

• Vernon Wells - 2/4 with a double (27) and a home run (14). 

• Travis Buck - 4/5 with a double (14), a home run (7) and a stolen base (2).  He's a solid breakout candidate for 2008 and could up big numbers in the 2nd half.

• Marlon Byrd - 2/3 with a triple (6) to boost his average up to .359 on the year.

• Derek Jeter - 4/6 with a double (26). 

• Johnny Damon - 2/5 with a stolen base (18).  He has a 5 game hitting streak after breaking out of an 0 - 17 slump.

• Hideki Matsui - 2/5 with a walk.  He has had at least one RBI in 5 straight games.

• B.J. Upton - 2/4 with a double (19).  He's picked up right where he left off before getting hurt.

• Carlos Guillen - 2/5.  He has only 1 extra base hit since the All-Star break and is hitting under .200 during that time.  His strikeout numbers have remained impressive though, so expect him to round back into form shortly.

• Manny Ramirez - 2/4.  His average is back up to .300 on the year.

• Grady Sizemore - 2/4 with 2 steals (27). 

• Michael Young - 2/4 with a double (26) and a steal (8). 

• Aaron Rowand - 3/4 with 2 doubles (31).  He has a 4 game hitting streak and has hit safely in 10 of 11 games played since the break.  During this time he has 11(!) doubles and 3 home runs.

• Aramis Ramirez - 4/5.  He's up to .321 on the year.

• Scott Hatteberg - 3/5 with a double (16).  He's up to .310 on the year.

• Adam Dunn - 2/3 with a home run (27).  Still hitting for a decent average at .263.

• Ryan Braun - 2/4.

• Lastings Milledge - 3/3 with a home run (2).  He's playing well since being called up, hitting .282, but his 1 walk in 39 at bats is a concern.  He's 7 for his last 12 with a double and a home run.

• Jason Bay - 3/4 with 2 home runs (15).  After striking out in 8 straight games, he hasn't struck out for 2 consecutive games for the 1st time since June 5th.

• Chris Young - 3/5 with a stolen base (15). 

• Orlando Hudson - 3/5 with a home run (9).  He's 8 for his last 17 with 2 home runs and hasn't struck out in a week (since 7/18).

• Dan Uggla - 2/4 with 2 home runs (21).  He is on fire lately with 4 home runs in his last 5 games and is 14 for his last 30 with 5 doubles to go along with the 4 home runs.

• Miguel Montero - 2/2 to break a 0-9 stretch.

• Craig Biggio - 2/4 with a home run (6) to break out of a 1/20 stretch.  He's not playing regularly anymore and has only 24 at bats in the last 12 games.

• Lance Berkman - 2/4 to break out of a 1/13 slump.

• James Loney - 2/4 with a double (8) to extend his hitting streak to 7 games.

• Edgar Renteria - 3/7 with 2 doubles (28) and a stolen base (10).

• Chipper Jones - 3/5 with a double (22) and a home run (17). 

Pitching

• Javier Vazquez - 8 IP, 4 hits, 1 walk and 8 k's.  Since June 23rd, he is 5-0 with a 2.60 ERA and 0.98 WHIP.  

• Dustin McGowan - 7.1 IP, 4 hits, 3 walks and 5 k's. 

• John Rheinecker - 7 IP, 6 hits, 1 walk and 4 k's.  He's not a high level pitching prospect, his minor league numbers were very ordinary.

• Daniel Cabrera - 7 IP, 1 hit, 5 walks and 3 k's.  Very odd performance, and he's now walked 12 in his last 18 innings.

• Jamie Walker - 1 IP, 1 hit.  His 2nd save in 3 days.  He could take over the closing job in Baltimore with Ray possibly heading to the DL.

• Scott Kazmir - 6.2 IP, 7 hits, 3 walks and 8 k's.  Typical Kazmir performance - good k's, too many walks.

• Daisuke Matsuzaka - 7 IP, 4 hits, 3 walks and 5 k's.  After 3 shaky outings, this was a very good sign.

• C.C. Sabathia - 7 IP, 5 hits, 0 walks and 7 k's.  Out-dueled by Matsuzaka, but this was by far his best outing in July.

• Carlos Zambrano - 6.1 IP, 5 hits, 3 walks and 5 k's.  Not a great start, but ran his record to 13-5.  He's been on fire since early June with 8 wins 71 strikeouts during this time vs. the 5 wins and 51 k's over the first 2 months.

• Yvonni Gallardo - 6.2 IP, 6 hits, 3 walks and 2 k's.  Not a great start, but he picked up his 3rd win.

• Chris Young - 2 IP, 1 k.  Left early with a strained oblique.

• John Maine - 7 IP, 5 hits, 1 walk and 7 k's.  After 2 shaky outings, he put it all together last night - he even hit his first career home run.

• Livan Hernandez - 7 IP, 7 hits, 1 walk and 5 k's.

7/24/07

Batting

• Coco Crisp - 4/5 with a double (15).  He has a 7 game hitting streak, and is a ridiculous 10 for his last 13.  Only one extra base hit though.

• Manny Ramirez - 2/4 with a double (22).

• Jose Vidro - 4/4 with a double (14).  He's hitting .500 since the All-Star break with 4 of his 17 extra base hits coming during that time.

• Adrian Beltre - 2/4 with a double (23) to break a 4 for 29 slump.

• Brad Wilkerson - 2/4 with a home run (15).  He's hitting well lately going 7 for his last 20 with 2 doubles and a home run.  More importantly, he has a 3/4 bb/k ratio during this time.  He's never been a good average hitter, but he could be a nice 2nd half pickup in deeper leagues.

• Alex Rios - 2/4 with a double (28) and a home run (20). 

• Frank Thomas - 2/3 with 2 home runs (16).

• Justin Morneau - 2/4 with 2 home runs (28).

• Mike Napoli - 2/4 with a home run (9).  He is now 7 for 15 with 2 home runs since returning from the DL. 

• Nick Swisher - 1/3 with 2 walks.  He's been in a slump for the last 5 weeks, hitting .143 during that time with only 1 home run. 

• Mike Piazza - 2/5 with a double (8) and a home run (2).  His first home run since returning from the DL.

• Nomar Garciaparra - 3/5.

• James Loney - 1/4 with his 4th home run.

• Luke Scott - 2/4 with his 12th home run.  Remember this guy?  He is starting to hit, going 6 for 12 in his last 4 games with 2 home runs.

• Brad Hawpe - 2/4 with a double (21) and a home run (18). 

• Milton Bradley - 2/4 with a home run (3). 

• Chris Young - 2/4 with a double (16).  Starting to show some signs of heating up with 2 walks, a home run and 3 steals in his last 4 games.

• Mike Jacobs - 2/4 with a home run (8).  His 2nd home run in 2 days.

Pitching

• Jon Lester - 6 IP, 5 hits, 3 walks and 6 k's.  Obviously a great personal story, but the results were good as well - his walks were a little high, which he's struggled with throughout his career, but other numbers are good.  He could be a factor down the stretch.

• Huston Street - 1 IP, 2 hits, and 1 k.  His first outing since returning from the DL.

• Roger Clemens - 7 IP, 4 hits, 0 walks and 3 k's.  He hasn't struck out more than 4 hitters since June 21st. 

• Aaron Harang - 10 IP, 7 hits, 0 walks and 10 k's (121 pitches).  A great performance.

• Greg Maddux - 6 IP, 5 hits, 0 walks and 2 k's. 

• Doug Davis - 6.2 IP, 5 hits, 2 walks and 8 k's.  His best k/bb ratio of the year and he's been stingy lately allowing only 20 hits in his last 25 innings.

7/23/07

Batting

• Mark Grudzielank -  4/5 with a double (21).  He has limited power/speed, but he's making it tough to ignore him by hitting .391 in July.

• Mark Teahan - 2/5 with a triple (6).  He's hitting .350 since the All-Star break with 3 doubles - only 1 walk and 6 k's during that time though.  Also - no home runs.

• Curtis Granderson - 2/4 with a stolen base (11). 

• Casey Kotchman - 2/3 with a double (18).  He's starting to show signs of breaking out of his extended slump with 2 extra base hits in his last 4 games, and he hasn't struck out in a week.

• Chone Figgins - 2/4 to extend his hitting streak to 8 games. 

• Delmon Young - 3/5 with his 24th double. 

• Bobby Abreu - 3/4 with his 8th home run - half of which have come in July.

• Hideki Matsui - 5/6 with a home run (17).  He has hit safely in 18 of 20 games in July.

• Manny Ramirez - 2/2 with a home run (15).  He has 4 home runs and is hitting .385 since the break.

• Jermaine Dye - 2/4 with 2 doubles (18).  Breaking an 0-8 streak.

• Dan Uggla - 4/5 with a double (38) and a home run (19).  On fire lately, going 11 for 20 with 5 doubles and 2 home runs.

• Josh Willingham - 4/5 with a double (22).  His first multi-hit game since July 1st.

• Connor Jackson - 2/4 with a double (17).  His 2nd consecutive 2/4 game, and he's showing signs of turning his season around by going 5 for his last 12 with a double, a home run and 2 walks.

• Ryan Howard - 2/2 with a double (16) and 2 walks.  On an absolute tear with 8 home runs in July after hitting 10 in June.

• Shane Victorino - 3/6 to extend his hitting streak to 4 games.

• Rafael Furcal - 2/5 with a home run (3).  On pace for 5 home runs, which would be his lowest total of his career with over 500 at bats.  Also on pace for less than 20 steals - which would be the first time in his career.

• Lastings Milledge - 2/5 with a double (2).  Hitting behind Reyes in the Mets lineup - his 2nd straight 2-hit game.  Only 1 strikeout in his last 3 games, but only 1 walk in 39 at bats.

• Nomar Garciaparra - 2/5 with a home run (4).  He hit 2 home runs in the last 3 games - never hit more than one home run in any month prior to July.

• Rickie Weeks - 2/4 with a double (16) and a walk.  He hit leadoff for the first time since his return from the DL and looks like he's seeing the ball better lately with 4 walks in his last 3 games.

• Ryan Braun - 2/4 with a home run (15).  He now has a 5 game hitting streak, but only one walk during that time.

• Josh Barfield - 3/4 breaking a 3/22 slump.

• Casey Blake - 3/5 with 2 doubles (25).  He has put up similar numbers to last year on a pro-rata basis, but will a full time job this time around, he will easily exceed the 19 home runs he hit last year.  Good walk rate and more doubles in 2007.

• Marlon Byrd - 3/4 with a triple (5).  His miracle season continues (similar to Gary Matthews' 2006 campaign).

• Jeff Franceour - 2/3 with a walk.  He's 9 for his last 21 and has 3 walks during that time.  His 6 walks in July are the most in any month since April. 

• Scott Rolen - 2/5 with a home run (5).  He's only 32, but slugging under .400 for the year. 

Pitching

• Brian Bannister - 7 IP, 4 hits, 1 walk and 3 k's.  His first good start in July, but judging by his strikeout rate (49 in 93 innings), don't expect many more.

• Jamie Shields - 3.1 IP, 10 hits, 4 walks and 1 strikeout.  This outing jumps his ERA up over 4.00 where it will probably stay for the rest of the year.  Only 11 strikeouts (total) in his last 4 starts.

• Jeremy Guthrie - 7 IP, 2 hits, 3 walks and 8 k's.  His 2nd straight good outing since the All-Star break.

• Roy Halladay - 9 IP, 3 hits, 1 walk and 3 k's.  He's allowed a total of 8 hits and 1 run in his last two starts.

• Rick Vanden Hurk - 6 IP, 7 hits, 2 walks and 3 k's.  Two consecutive solid starts for the rookie. 

• Yusmeiro Petit - 6 IP, 3 hits, 0 walks and 5 k's.  He hasn't given up more than 3 runs in any start this season. 

• J.D. Durbin - 9 IP, 5 hits, 3 walks and 3 k's.  He's 2-0 in his last 2 starts while allowing only 1 run.  Six strikeouts in 15 innings during this time is a reason to temper your excitement.

• Woody Williams - 8 IP, 5 hits, 0 walks and 3 k's.  His best start of the year.
