The View from the Gangplank August 1, 1928

A rough finish to the month, in which they end up going 13-15, leaves the Bucs with an uphill battle from here in their hopes for a 5th straight title.





An injury to Bressler doesn't help matters, and they lose catcher Walt Lerian right at month's end, which - if it proves something long-term - will be a further hindrance to their chances.

It's hard to see why they aren't getting better results, as both the hitting and pitching has been solid. It happens, sometimes, that the raw metrics belie a side's ability to put it all together in a way that wins a lot of games. I think that's the case here.





The BoSox put their foot down with a 19-11 month to take control of the AL, while the Giants take advantage of yet another mid-season meltdown by the Cards to move into first place in the Senior Circuit.




Awards, news, leaders. Lou Gehrig is still leading in all TC categories, while young Satchel Paige is top 3 in each and needs just 53 more strikeouts to claim the all-time season record of 373 by Rube Waddell in 1905.
