August Games Recap

It takes too much effort to blog game after game, so I will only be updating sporadically now with stats.  To be honest I am doing this right now after the season, because I got too exhausted doing it every day!

The Mariners went 4-2 in August and are now 19-17 when I attend.  The Mariners scored 20 runs and their opponents 22, for a run differential of just two, but the 8/31 game really fudged the numbers.  The average attendance was 22,559 vs 23,265 in July.
Our starting pitchers had a higher combined ERA at 3.12 vs 2.92 in July. The starters accounted for 75% of the innings pitched compared to 73% in July.  They accounted for 73% of the runs given up.


Our OBP was only 26 points higher than our average, compared to 49 points in July.  Of our 45 total hits in July, 28.9% were extra base hits compared to 25.9% in July.  Thames, Ackley (surprise!), and Jaso were the best hitters.
