Fleetwood Stats through August (140 games)

Fleetwood finished August with a strong 19-9 record (12-2 at home, 7-7 on road), keeping the Walkers tied for first with Maine in the NL Central race with a 96-44 overall season record.

Fleetwood's offense had a slightly down month by its standards in August, scoring just 150 runs (5.4 per game; Fleetwood's season average = 6.0 per game). Its pitching and defense came through with another good month, though, allowing only 102 runs (3.6 per game; Fleetwood's season average = 3.8 per game).

Given Fleetwood's total runs scored (833) and total runs allowed (530) on the season, its Pythagorean Record would be 100-40 (.712 x 140 games). As such, it appears the Walkers' record remains slightly below what might be expected (-4 wins versus expected record). Again, this is likely due to some large blow-out victories by Fleetwood during the summer.

Fleetwood continues to dominate right-handed starters (70-26, .729), while also steadily improving its record versus lefty pitchers (5-9 through May; 13-12 through June; 24-17 through July; 26-18 through August).

Fleetwood's most exceptional players so far on the season are Miguel Cabrera, Derrek Lee, Jim Edmonds, A.J. Burnett and Esteban Loaiza. In the month of August only, Derrek Lee (.365/.413/.765), Jim Edmonds (.284/.433/.617), Miguel Cabrera (.321/.408/.468), Javier Valentin (.364/.488/.636), Mark Buehrle (4-0, 1.74 ERA), A.J. Burnett (3-1, 3.68 ERA), Arthur Rhodes (1-0, , 9 IP, 0 H, 0.00 ERA), Scott Downs (0-1, 17 IP, 1.59 ERA), and Fernando Cabrera (1-2, 11.1 IP, 2.38 ERA, 3 SV) all excelled.

Players who have struggled the most during the season are Marcus Giles and Ryan Doumit. In August specifically, Jose Guillen (.177/.236/..219), David Wright (.234/.328/.421), Esteban Loaiza (3-1, 4.74 ERA), and Greg Maddux (2-2, 4.50 ERA) had difficult months.

All in all, August was yet another great month for Fleetwood. Although it lost a game in the standings to Maine, the team continues to lead its division and is a virtual lock to make the playoffs for the first time since 2003.

Looking ahead to September, Fleetwood will face its divisional foes in the NL Central...including 7 games versus the co-leader Maine Black Flies. Overall, the opposing teams in this division have averaged 77 wins against 63 losses so far in 2006, making it a tough conclusion to the regular season. At the very least, though, the Walkers will get a chance to battle for the divisional crown versus the rival Maine Black Flies.

August 29-31, 2006: Fleetwood at Box City

August 29: Fleetwood 4, Box City 5
Fleetwood began this series against Box City with a 4-2 lead heading into the bottom of the 9th inning. Leading the charge for the Walkers were Miguel Cabrera at the plate (1-4, HR, 2 RBI) and Mark Buehrle on the mound (8 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 6 K).

Derrick Turnbow entered the game in the 9th inning, looking to nail things down. Three batters later, though, he walked off the field with the loss. First, he walked Jason Giambi. Next, Matt Holliday hit a single. Darin Erstad then excited the hometown faithful with a 3-run walk-off homer.

August 30: Fleetwood 6, Box City 2
Following a tough loss the day before, Fleetwood rebounded with a strong all-around effort. After 4 scoreless innings to begin the game, the Walkers exploded for 4 runs in the 5th inning and 2 more runs in the 6th. Starring in the rallies were Javier Valentin (2-run HR in 5th, double in 6th) and Jim Edmonds (2-run HR in 6th).

Meanwhile, Esteban Loaiza continued his great season by throwing 7 strong innings. He allowed just 4 hits and 2 runs while striking out 7 against just 1 walk. Rookie Fernando Cabrera did most of the remaining work, pitching the last 5 outs for the save.

August 31: Fleetwood 12, Box City 6
The rubber match of the series pitted the experienced A.J. Burnett for Fleetwood versus the young D.J. Houlton for Box City. Neither pitcher would enjoy their first innings on this day, but Houlton found things particularly rough.

After just six batters, Fleetwood scored 5 runs against Houlton. A grand slam by Jim Edmonds knocked Houlton from the game, and an RBI double by Marcus Giles added a sixth run to the scoreboard.

Burnett gave up three runs of his own in the bottom of the 1st inning, and also seemed destined for an early shower. He was able to settle down, however, and did not allow another run until the 5th inning.

Fleetwood's offense continued to add runs to the scoreboard, including a 2-run homer by Javier Valentin and a solo home run by Derrek Lee. By day's end, Fleetwood had won 12-6.

August 20-23, 2006: Fleetwood at Plaza

August 20: Fleetwood 2, Plaza 3
An exciting series began with A.J. Burnett taking the hill for Fleetwood and ex-Walker Derek Lowe doing the same for Plaza.

Plaza jumped out to an early lead, scoring twice in the first inning on a David Ortiz double. The Lions added another run in the 2nd inning when a Michael Young single scored Geoff Jenkins.

Fleetwood scored two runs in the 5th inning when David DeJesus hit a home run, but Lowe and the Plaza bullpen proved too tough. Lowe earned the win with 7 strong innings, and Aaron Fultz picked up a save by collecting the last 4 outs.

August 21: Fleetwood 2, Plaza 5
Plaza again asserted itself early, scoring 5 runs in the first 3 innings. Michael Young keyed most of this scoring, collecting two hits, a steal, a run and an RBI in his first two at-bats of the day.

Fleetwood scratched out two runs by the end of the game, but Plaza starter Jake Westbrook remained in control throughout 7 strong innings. The Lions bullpen once again slammed the door shut on the Walkers, this time with Bobby Howry earning the save.

August 22: Fleetwood 1, Plaza 4
For the third straight game, Fleetwood fell behind even before breaking open the sunflower seeds. On this day, Plaza knocked David Bush out of the game in the 2nd inning with 4 early runs. A two-run homer by Geoff Jenkins did much of the damage.

On the mound, Bartolo Colon dominated the Walkers (8 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 8 K). Howry once again closed things out, earning his second save in as many days.

August 23: Fleetwood 6, Plaza 2
Faced with possibly being swept for the first time since May 13-15 (at Toledo), Fleetwood finally grabbed control of the game early. The Walkers scored single runs in both the 1st and 2nd innings, and then plated two more runs in both the 4th and 5th innings. Add it all up, and Fleetwood led 6-0 after 5 innings.

Plaza responded with a run in the 6th inning and another in the 8th, but Fleetwood lefty Mark Buehrle never lost control of the game. By day's end, he had thrown a complete-game seven-hitter. Starring at the dish for the Walkers were Marcus Giles (3-5, 2B, R, RBI), David Wright (1-5, HR, 2 RBI), Javier Valentin (2-3, 2B, RBI), and Jim Edmonds (2-4, 2B, 2 RBI).

August 13-15, 2006: Fleetwood at New Hampshire

August 13: Fleetwood 0, New Hampshire 2
Runs were hard to come by, as Fleetwood's Esteban Loaiza and New Hampshire's Jorge Sosa locked horns in a pitchers' duel.

The Derry Heifers plated two 3rd inning runs on an RBI triple by Cesar Izturis and an RBI groundout by ex-Walker Laynce Nix. David Riske and Huston Street relieved Sosa, and held Fleetwood scoreless to complete the shutout.

August 14: Fleetwood 5, New Hampshire 2
Derrek Lee continued his hot month for Fleetwood, hitting a two-run homer in the 2nd inning and an RBI single in the 8th. Miguel Cabrera also contributed for the Walkers, adding a two-run double that put the game away.

On the mound, A.J. Burnett combined with four relievers to hold New Hampshire to just 2 runs.

August 15: Fleetwood 13, New Hampshire 3
Fleetwood jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead, led by a two-run Miguel Cabrera double in the 1st inning. New Hampshire clawed back with single runs in the 2nd and 3rd innings, but the Walkers put the game away with a 6-run explosion in the 4th inning and 4 more runs in the 5th.

Among the stars at the plate for Fleetwood were David DeJesus (3-5, HR, 3 R, 3 RBI), Derrek Lee (2-4, HR, R, 2 RBI), and Marcus Giles (3-5, HR, 2 R, RBI). Meanwhile, Greg Maddux provided the Walkers with another strong start (7 IP, 3 R, 0 BB, 6 K).

August 4-7, 2006: Fleetwood at Cook County

August 4: Fleetwood 1, Cook County 7
Ex-Walker Chipper Jones hits a solo home run in the 6th and Toby Hall goes 4-4 for Cook County. Meanwhile, rookie Felix Hernandez throws 6 great innings for the Maulers to earn the victory. A David Wright home run accounts for Fleetwood's only run.

August 5: Fleetwood 6, Cook County 0
David Bush and Scott Downs combine on a four-hit shutout of the Cook County Maulers. Craig Counsell (2-4, 2B, R, RBI) helps the Walkers grab an early lead, while David DeJesus (1-5, HR, 3 RBI) puts the game away late.

August 6: Fleetwood 2, Cook County 4
With the score tied 2-2 after 7 innings, Andruw Jones hits a 2-run homer in the bottom of the 8th to give Cook County the lead. Billy Wagner relieves Dan Haren to earn the save. Carl Crawford goes 2-2 with a HR for Cook County, while Miguel Cabrera hits a 2-run HR for Fleetwood.

August 7: Fleetwood 8, Cook County 4
Cook County led 4-3 after through 6 innings thanks to home runs from Manny Ramirez, Andruw Jones, and Casey Kotchman. Fleetwood exploded for 4 runs in the 7th inning, though, powered by a pair of 2-run homers from Derrek Lee and Javier Valentin. David Wright added an insurance run with a solo HR in the 8th, and Fleetwood earned a series split at Cook County.
