Random non-Astros stories and stuff from the season
Jason Heyward took the NL batting title, hitting .319. Mike Trout's .349 average led the way in the AL.
The Dodgers seriously underperformed, finishing last in the NL West at 71-91, 21 games back of Colorado. This led to manager Don Mattingly being fired at the end of July, prompting one anonymous player to say "I never really agreed with his decisions and I think he's cost us a lot of games with the way he manages." Ouch.
The Dodgers also had one of the biggest trades this season, sending Hanley Ramirez to the Yankees for 5 minor leaguers.
Rockies reliever Greg Burke was indicted for his part in a scheme that defrauded investors of as much as $9 million dollars. No word the outcome of that trial yet.
Rumors swirled in July that Aroldis Chapman may have lied about his age. The investigation is ongoing.
Tim Lincecum threw a no-hitter against the Dodgers the last week of the season, striking out 8 and walking 1. It was the second no-hitter of the season following our own Scott Feldman's in May.
In outstanding headline writing, we're informed that on August 3rd, "Smoak cracks 5 hits."
Torii Hunter got fans excited in May with a 33 game hit streak.
Here's the playoff picture and final standings as we head into the post- and off-season.
I've started with Houston as well, and through 108 games I'm sitting at 45-63. However, it's amazing how different some of these players' stats differ between two games...how you got that kind of production from Villar (.194/.273 in 70 games) and Krauss (.206/.308 2 HR in 40 or so games) is beyond me! I like the addition of Prado; I added Aviles (for Crain) and he's been arguably my most productive hitter since early May. Anyway, good read!
