Main Event Tracker: Week 19 review The tales of frustrating pitching continue, at least on the ratio side. We also took a step back on offense and lost one of our key contributors to an injury. All of that being said, we were still able to put up a decent week across the board, and while we didn’t gain any ground, we didn’t lose much either.
It wasn’t the absolute premium production that we have come to expect from our offense over the past week and a half, but given the missed games due to injury/illness, we’ll certainly take the overall production that we received. William Contreras finally hit another ball out of the yard, but he hit just .111 (2-for-18) on the week with two runs and two RBI.
His elder brother, Willson, had a rare down week as well, hitting .148 (4-for-27) with three runs scored and zeroes across the rest of the board. We’re never expecting huge production out of the first base position, so it was nice to see Paul Goldschmidt at least sock one dinger this week.
The fact that he did so with a nice average (.269) and five runs scored was actually helpful as well. Xavier Edwards has been a tremendous addition to our squad over the past few weeks, and Week 19 was no different.
He hit .391 (9-for-23) with four runs scored, four RBI and three stolen bases. Just monstrous production out of the second base spot.
Ezequiel Tovar had a down week with his batting average (.160), but still socked a dinger and scored four times. We can live with that.
The real.
