Week 3: 50-50

The Durham Bulls went 3-3 over in Norfolk last week. They ended the week at 7-11 and tied for 8th place in the 10-team International League East Division. That’s a tick upwards from last week.

Key stat changes are dismal but slightly better.

Batting: OPS – .720, 12th in 20 team IL, + .046 from last week.

Pitching: ERA – 5.16, 14th in IL, -0.27 from last week

Pitching: WHIP – 1.534, 16th in IL, -.034 from last week

Pitching: OBA (Opponents Batting Average) – .262, 18th, -.007 from last week

This week begins with an oddity, an 11:00 am day game — Education Day. Busloads of school kids at the park. If you haven’t been, try it. Sort of fun listening/watching young folks. 

The Bulls are playing the Memphis Redbirds, the St Louis Cardinals Triple-A team,  They are 9-9 on the year. 

Lastly, Tyler Zambro, the Bulls pitcher who took a line drive to his head last year, is back with the team. Nice to see him on the field.
