Since our last update, we've really improved our play. We've won 8 of 12 to improve our record to 11-9. We're currently 2.5 games back of Trenton in the NL East, but only a half game back of San Francisco for the WC2.
With this morning's game, we completed a sweep of Monterrey. The highlight of this game was David Matos, who pitched a 2-hit complete game shutout, surrendering only one walk. Despite throwing his 5th quality start (out of 5 total starts!) this season, he just picked up his first win.
We're really going to find out where we stand over the next few days. Tonight we'll enjoy an off day, and then move into 16 straight games against Los Angeles/Sarasota, St. Louis, San Francisco, and Salt Lake City. If we can come out of that with our heads above water, we'll be in great shape, but if we play poorly, we might be done for.
Cap Glass is playing well early this season, with a team high six home runs and 1.130 OPS. Midre Cela has come on strong lately as well, with four home runs and a 1.058 OPS. Finally, D'Angelo Rivera is still pitching well out of the bullpen, posting 10 scoreless innings with a .080 WHIP in nine appearances.
Not all is well, however. Jumbo Tabaka is batting just .133 after 45 ABs, Pete Benes just .163 and no home runs after 43 ABs, and Ted Reith is hitting just .158 after 38 ABs. These players need to pick it up!
