Rights and Wrongs: 6/1 - An ugly 1-5 week

After thinking about the title, is there a pretty 1-5 week? Yeah, didn’t think so.

Rights: OK, this’ll be pretty quick.

Puma: A one-man wrecking crew. He put up a typical 1.125 OPS - which actually dropped his season OPS - and scored four of the team’s 14 runs for the week. Just full of awesome goodness.

Ty Wiggington: Huh? Really? Ty continues to heat up, putting up a 909 OPS for the week in which he homered and drew four walks in just 22 PAs.

The Bullpen: For the week, the pen put up a line of 14.2 IP, .61 ERA, and .86 WHIP. Only Oscar Villareal gave up a run. Oops, outside of Jack Cassel.

Wrongs:

The rest of the offense. The Cards and The Alcoholics stymied our offense except for an 8-run outburst against Looper. Outside of Puma and Wiggy, the offense was held to an OPS below 500 by some very mediocre pitchers. Brad Ausmus “led” the way with an 0-7 week (but, hey at least he gets to hit in clutch situations!), Miggy was at 360, and Carlos Lee, Kaz Matsui, and JR Towles were all below 500. Offensively, we were downright offensive.

The Starting Pitching: As good as the relievers were, the starters were the opposite. Chacon followed his nice outing on Tuesday by getting blowed up on Sunday, and only RoyO kept his weekly ERA below 4.

One week is a small sample size, but it was a tough week. We’re off on Monday before heading to Pittsburgh for a three-game set, then back to home cooking against the Cardinals.

As a special note, I had a rough bike accident (not my fault) on Saturday, and I am kinda screwed up for the time being. I will post as I can.
