As evident from the tweet above, for the first time this month the Istanbul Bosphorus won a series taking two of three from Cairo Chariot Archers. First Basemen Kelly King going 5 for 5 in game 2 with 2 doubles, 1 homerun and 3 RBI. Since being called up June 17th he's batting .393 with 2 homeruns and 8 RBI's. Whether the 36 year old is really in the future plans for Istanbul, is yet to be determined. But as of right now fans are glad to see some winning.
With the 1st half coming to a end, Istanbul has a overal record of 25-53 .321 winning percent and 22 games behind division leader Manama. There has been alot of movement betten Istanbul and their affiliates under new GM. So really hard to tell what the future holds for this team. We do know that that team wants to get younger. What all that entails and how they go about doing it, is still to be determined.
Since the first half has come to a close, figured now would be a good time to go over the team leaders.
31 year old left fielder Rich Ayers is only one with the required number of at bats, batting over .300. He currently sits at .305 with 9HR and 38 RBI. He has been the one bight spot for Istanbul this season leading the team in 13 different categories included but not limited to: AVG (.305), HR (9), RBI (38), OBP (.343), SLG (.498), OPS (.841), WAR (1.4), HITS (76), 3B's (3).
32 year old Francisco Cardona leads qualified players in ERA at 4.62 over 85.2 innings pitched while going 7-4 in 15 starts. He's also the only the pitcher with more then 3 wins.
30 year old SP Cisco García is one of 3 pitchers on the opposite side of that spectrum. Carcia, SP Nando Ricciolo & CL Kunz Schuck all lead the team in losses at 6. (On a side note, the game says Schuck should be a starter and that he's started 4 games. But yet some reason he's listed as closer in player list. But he's also only closer listed. So not sure what I done there. LOL)
