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.
