Manager and GM Fritsche
18th July 2008
Before the start of another key series against the division leading Padres we take a lot at some interesting stats. Even if we are past Mid-July we have only two hitters with more than ten homeruns: Ryan Braun (27) and Prince Fielder (11).
Home Runs by Team:
Toronto (145)
Philadelphia (144)
...
Milwaukee (83)
Buffalo (82)
Minnesota (71)
Vancouver (63)
On the other hand we have already five player with more than ten stolen bases: Cesar Izturis (19), Shane Victorino (18), Prince Fielder (17), Ryan Braun (15), Alcides Escobar (10).
Stolen Bases by Team:
Tampa Bay (122)
Milwaukee (109)
New York (N) (100)
...

Buffalo 15
Last season we ranked seventh in both categories, stealing 107 bases, while hitting 230 homers.
MR Matt Wise (3-1-4, 1.73 ERA - AAA) signed a new one year contract worth $600,000. Despite being in the minors right now, he is considered playing in the mayors next season.
Game #94 – San Diego [53-40] (C. Young 5-5, 4.55 ERA)
at Milwaukee [50-43] (C. Villanueva 1-1, 3.00 ERA)
SS C. Izturis - CF S. Victorino - LF R. Braun - 1B P. Fielder - RF G. Gross - 3B M Reynolds - C. J. Estrada - 2B O. Infante
Carlos Villanueva was already roughed up in the first, loading the bases with no outs. He escaped with "only" four runs. His counterpart had to pay the bill in the third and we eventually took a 6-5 lead in the fourth. But in the fifth Kouzmanoff's two run shot gave the Padres the lead. Even if we loaded the bases for Fielder and Gross in the ninth, we managed only one run.
