Diamonds and Pearls 2041.6 - May-hem

Post by tallywood » Mon Jan 20, 2020 8:44 am

The month of May was kind to the Manama Pearls. Going 15-12 over the course of the month does not seem like much on paper, but the Pearls have passed the eye test with flying colors--especially this last week, which ended with an 11-0 victory over Mumbai

The Pearls of May: The Team So Far:
  • The Pearls sit 7 games back of the Istanbul Bosphorus. According to GM Dillon Lowery, "7 games back in May and playing how we have? I'll take it."
  • After going 1-5 at home in April, the Pearls took back home-field advantage by going 11-7 this month.
The Major (League) Moves:
  • The Pearls picked up two BBA veterans off of free agency, and both have made huge immediate impacts. SS Jesus Flores is hitting .268, flashing an elite glove, and swiping 4 bags already*. RP Gilberto Tovar is lights out in the pen, throwing 7.2 innings with a 1.17 ERA and 10 strikeouts.
  • SP Feheen Silvester, who is having a great year, is rewarded with a 2-year extension worth a total of $2 million.
  • The Pearls still search for their fifth starter, this month seems to be in the hands of SP Ricardo Maldonado, who the Pearls picked up from free agency. His first start did not go very well, so we shall see just how long he lasts in Manama.
* = Flores is out for 4 weeks with a broken wrist after a collision while sliding into home.

The Farm:
  • CF Joshua Koka has less competition in front of him now that CF Juan Castillo has had a set-back. However, Koka's stats are still rather pedestrian in AA.

I “hope” the loss of your shortstop doesn’t slow you down ;)

The 11 - 0 beating was against Mumbai, not Beirut. :)

Although Beirut still got spanked by the Pearls who swept the Cedars 4-0, 5-2 and 4-3.
