As we face yet another slate full of losses, we’re forced to conclude once again that T.S. Eliot was correct: April is the cruelest month...mixing memory with desire
Remember back in April when everybody in the system was winning, leading divisions, best in their leagues, etc? July has been a brutal reminder of what the long, hot summer can do. Sacramento, Richmond, and San Jose have each won just 7 games this month (7-15, 7-16, 7-18). The top five affiliates are collectively 42-77 in the month of July, good for a .353 winning percentage. Only the two AZL teams have managed a winning record this month.
