CEO Charlie Hough likes that the Tropics through 118 games have the
second lowest Average Against and the third lowest Hits Allowed in the
MBBA. Hawai'i has given up 1008 hits in 1067.6 innings pitched.
"Problem is," says team spokesperson Stitch Lilo,"142 of those hits have
been homers." Which is second in the JL to Louisville and three less than
Atlantic City.
Hawai'i is shedding its pitching staff of the worst offenders in allowing the
long ball.
Which is why Hawai'i put knuckleballer Abe Colbert on waivers (who was
claimed by New Orleans only to be released--which sucks, because now he
won't negotiate even a MiL contract with Hawai'i). Michael Duran Duran will
be the next to go.
Guy's got great stuff, said the Wave Watchers, but he can't keep the ball in the
park.
The Tropics 4.13 ERA is 7th in the JL and its bullpen ERA of 3.77 is 4th. McKinley
Washington needs 6 saves for 400 in his career.
