August 2012 - Winnipeg Bisons
Manager and GM Fritsche


4th August 2012


Finally Sharlon Schoop (.318, 3 HR, 20 RBI) is ready to play ball again. For him disappointing IF Alberto Gonzalez (.253, 0 HR, 12 RBI, 4 SB) makes the trip to AAA - Regina. Schoop should give us much needed stability at the Nr. 2 spot. Even when Schoop is a defensive liability at 2B, he will see action at all infield positions. The Mets series was nothing special, but the Brewers got swept by the lowly Cubs. So our lead grew to four games. are also struggling and their .441 is the worst in the NL East. Especially their pitching is simply awful. Next up are the Reds who try to make the playoffs for the first time since 1995. They are six games out of the wildcard and are primarily carried by very strong starting pitching and the best batting average in the league.
