44 and 44
2 games back from the Cubs

Good thing they are in the NL Central

If they were in the NL West they would be 15-16 back

Nl East they would be 10-11 back

right now Baseball Reference give the Birds a 15% chance at the playoffs and 0.9% of winning the World Series

They say Molina is still having a problem with his thumb
Carpenter's back is cranky
Hick's is gone for the rest of the season
Ozuna out for an undetermined time
Gyrko same as Ozuna

12th in OPS (11th in most other categories re hitting)

Hasn't been pretty but the Team ERA is 4.14 ( 4th in the NL)

Team Fielding is .988 for 2nd in the NL

Carpenter once said you are what your baseball card says you are

What do you make outta of the Birds 1st half?

Do you think lightning will strike like it did last year and the Birds go on a tear or will they be playing golf at the end of September?
