C-Notes 2042.11 - August's Cougar Collection

Post by GoldenOne » Tue May 12, 2020 4:37 pm

The Charlotte Cougars had a very disappointing 8-21 record in August. The wheels came off once SS Quinn 'Short Stuff' Richardson went down with a torn hamstring on July 28th. At the time, Richardson was only hitting .239/.266/.421 with 23 doubles, 3 triples, 15 HRs, and 43 RBI on the season but his outstanding defense and leadership were surely missed during the month of August. There were some bright spots on the team, no matter how dim they might be though:

Batter of the Month: 3B Joey 'The Dart' Newhouse showed he was playing for next year's contract by going .354/.396/.573 for August. Added in to the mix were his 9 doubles, 4 HRs, 12 Runs scored, 16 RBI, and 7 SBs for the month.

Pitcher of the Month: The star pitcher of the month for the Cougars was RP Mario Contreras. The same Mario Contreras who on 31 August sustained an elbow injury and will be out for the rest of the season. For August, however, Contreras went 3-1, with 1 Save in 10 games and 18.2 innings. While his 4.82 ERA may not turn heads, he managed to keep the ball in the park with only giving up 2 HRs in the month. He also managed a WHIP of 1.23 and an OAVG of .209 (the ones put in play seemed to find the holes though with a BABIP of .364) to go along with 32 Ks to 9 Walks for the month.

AAA Player of the Month: For the second month in a row, CF Florian Rudhart finds himself as the Cougars' AAA Player of the Month. Rudhart's .284/.348/.431 are not as impressive as what he did in July, but he still managed to pace the team. Rudhart also managed 7 doubles, 1 triple. 2 HRs, 18 Runs scored, and 5 RBIs to go along with 4 SBs for the month.
