The Good

We managed to separate ourselves from the pack this month and finished in first place. Can’t complain about that!

The bats also started waking up a bit. Tatis Jr. looked better in May with a .316/.368/.561 line with 7 HR and 21 RBI. Corey Dickerson finally looked like himself with a .311/.357/.500, 5 HR, 23 RBI month. And I know our owner wants us to upgrade in center and replace Carlos Tocci, but when he hits .349/.410/.431 with 7 doubles, I kind of can’t.

On the mound, Chris Paddack added another 4 wins to his tally, although he didn’t look quite as dominant as he did in the first month of the season. Shane Bieber continues pitching like an ace, despite not getting results - he went 1-0 over 6 starts with a 3.38 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, and 49 K. Ryan Weathers now leads the club in losses with a 1-3 record in May, despite the fact that he’s pitching exceptionally well. In 6 starts he posted a 3.52 ERA with a 1.02 WHIP.

The bullpen also looked very strong this month. Seth Elledge bounced back with a 1.69 ERA, 0.38 WHIP, and 20 K in 10.2 innings of work. Blake Cederlind racked up 12 saves with a 1.84 ERA and 0.95 WHIP. He converted 30 straight save opportunities, dating back to last season, before blowing his last attempt of the month.

The Bad

Archie Bradley and Chad Green both had months to forget coming out of the pen. Ha-Seong Kim improved this month, but that doesn’t mean that he’s hitting well. Hopefully he can figure things out. Manny Machado had a disappointing month as well. The only silver lining being that he added another 6 HR to his tally.

The Ugly

Injuries. Again. Luis Campusano fractured his ankle trying to advance to second on a fielder’s choice in the 9th inning of a game against the Dodgers. He’ll be out 2-3 months. We don’t have any real options to take his place, so Diego Cartaya is getting the call. He’ll start the majority of games with MJ Melendez rotating in. Blake Snell is once again on the IL, this time with a rotator cuff strain. He’s out 6-7 weeks. Pierce Johnson is suffering from shoulder tendinitis, and he’s out 5-6 weeks.

Our 2021 first round draft pick, SP Will Bednar, will replace Snell and RP Nick Sandlin will rejoin the team to replace Johnson.
