Me, Elsewhere: NL West May Recap

My latest at Baseball Prospectus ($) examines Arizona’s stellar month, Colorado’s not-so-stellar month, and various other shenanigans (including one Dodgers fan who dropped his child while attempting to catch a foul ball… don’t worry; he also dropped the ball). The Padres went 14-14 in May, although it was a bipolar month for the offense:

Dates      G  AB  R   H 2B 3B HR BB   K   BA  OBP  SLG
5/1-5/16  14 493 82 138 24  2 14 44 103 .280 .340 .422
5/17-5/31 14 455 28  98 15  4  5 29 122 .215 .261 .299

As I point out in the article, “this is roughly the difference between Brandon Phillips 2010 and Aurelio Rodriguez 1974.” I point out other stuff as well, so go read it…
