GM Notebook - September 1, 2047
When the injury bug bites, it bites HARD. We lost Shigekatsu Maeda for a few weeks, Masami Matsuura for I don't know how long, Chris Garrett for a couple more days, and now Kim Chae-bong's season is over because of an elbow strain - his first major injury.
That said...we went 18-9 in August. 5 games back of 1st, 3 games back of a playoff spot. We briefly were in third before we lost pace to the Hawks. It's going to be a mad scramble to finish the season, and keep juggling guys in the DH spot.
Shigejiro Matsumoto picked up PL Pitcher of the Month thanks to his 4-0 August with 54 Ks in 33 IP and a .140 oAVG. The man's coasting to another Sawamura award, I can tell.
And our corner outfielders are finally bearing fruit with Kenishi Shimizu getting PL Rookie of the Month! Kid batting .396 for August.
