14 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Monday, June 20, 1988 BASEBALL Major League standings Leyland can do with, without publicity National League East Division average after beating Minnesota last Monday. "He really battles," White Sox Manager Jim Fregosi said. "He's got a lot of poise and confidence. He's got to be the front-runner. He's done the job and pitched well all year." Texas knuckleballer Charlie Hough is 14-5 lifetime against Oakland but has no idea why.

"I guess it's because they swing hard, and I pitch soft," he said Don Baylor, a free agent who signed with Oakland rather than Kansas City, told a Kansas City, writer why: "A big key was when the Royals told me I'd have to platoon with Jim Eisenreich. Nothing against Eisenreich, but having to platoon with Dave Parker is a little different" San Francisco catcher Bob Brenly calls Candlestick Park "a landfill on top of a fault." The Royals recently sent Scotti Madison to the minor leagues. After being hit in the face with a pitch, Madison was asked by the team trainer if he knew were he was. "Well," Madison said, "I know I'm not in the majors." By Paul Meyer Post-Gazette Sports Writer Whitey Herzog, who we saw this weekend, has managed three of the last six National League pennant winners. Davey Johnson, who we'll see tonight, managed the 1986 NL champs.

Both receive a ton of attention Herzog because of the St. Louis Cardinals' record in the 1980s; Johnson primarily because he manages the New York Mets. And the manager whose team is in the middle of six important games against Herzog's and Johnson's receives relatively none. Which is OK with Jim Leyland. "They've earned it," the Pirates' manager said of the media attention given Herzog and Johnson.

"They've been more successful. We haven't won enough. When you win, you're requested more. I guess it is a compliment, because it means you're getting better. "I want to do whatever is part of my job," Leyland said, "but I don't care if they talk to me or not." Leyland said the last without bitterness.

It's just that he'd rather see his coaches and players get recognition. could foul tip a high, inside laser which sent Hershiser sprawling. When he regained his feet and his composure Hershiser asked plate umpire Gerry Davis why he didn't warn Ryan. "Warn him for what?" Davis asked. "That he gave you a heart attack?" Milwaukee pitcher Bill Wegman, just back from the disabled list (tendinitis in his elbow), had a five-hit shutout working against Seattle last week but was lifted after eight innings.

"They had me on a 100-pitch limit, and I already had 98 after the eighth," Wegman said. "I told them maybe I could get three outs with two pitches." Pirates pitching coach Ray Miller on Bobby Bonilla: "If he has a big day, he's thankful he's in the big leagues. And if he has a bad day, he's thankful he's in the big leagues." With the season nearing the halfway point, the top candidate for the American League's Rookie of the Year honor is Chicago's 22-year-old Melido Perez, who was 6-2 with a 3.29 earned run INSIDE THE PARK "The coaches are one phase of the game that never gets credit," Leyland said, "and the game belongs to the players." So where does Leyland fit in? How does he compare himself with other managers? "When I go into a game, I don't feel inferior to anybody, and I sure don't feel superior to anybody," he said. "If we win, I have nothing to do with it. If we lose, I don't think I'm going to be the reason, either.

"When the game's over, I feel comfortable with myself. I feel like I'm OK. The game belongs to the players. Anybody who thinks it doesn't is crazy. Anybody who thinks being a manager is a big deal is out of their mind." In a recent game between Houston and Los Angeles, Dodgers pitcher Orel Hershiser upset Nolan Ryan with a wild swing at an 0-and-2 pitch that he barely fouled off.

Ryan then decided to see if Hershiser I Pel GB L10 Streak Horn Away New York 43 23 .652 5-5 Won 2 23-10 20-13 Pirataa 37 30 .552 6V4 5-5 Won 1 23-15 14-15 Chicago 35 31 .530 8 7-3 Won 4 16-14 19-17 St. Louis 34 33 .507 9V 3-7 Lost 1 15-16 19-17 Montreal 31 35 .470 12 4-6 Lost 5 18-13 13-22 Philadelphia 29 36 .446 13 6-4 Lost 2 16-15 13-21 Wast Division l' Pet GB L10 Streak Horn Away Los Angeles 37 29 .561 5-5 Won 3 19-17 18-12 Houston 36 31 .537 1V 6-4 Won 2 20-10 16-21 San Francisco 33 34 .493 4V4 4-6 Won 1 19-17 14-17 Cincinnati 32 35 .478 5 6-4 Lost 1 16-15 16-20 San Diego 29 40 .420 9V4 6-4 Lost 3 22-19 7-21 Atlanta 23 42 .352 13Vk 3-7 Lost 2 10-21 13-21 l.

"I feel bad because I'm going to miss the Mets series," Cangelosi said, "but it's the smart thing to do." Cangelosi injured his right thumb May 25 making a diving catch in left-center field against Houston.

He was hitless in his next six at-bats before being placed on the disabled list effective June 6. If Cangelosi were an everyday player, he probably would've come off the DL tomorrow. "But I'm a pinch-hitter," he said. "For me to get my stroke back, getting maybe four or five at-bats a week would be kind of tough. I'll go to Buffalo and play center field every day.

That way I can be sure I'm 100 percent." Pitching coach Ray Miller said he spotted something in Mike Dunne's delivery that might help the right-hander in his next scheduled start, Wednesday in New York. After Dunne's loss to St. Louis Friday night, Miller looked at videotape and noticed Dunne was planting his left leg in a different spot than last season. "He was collapsing his front leg," Miller said of Dunne, who's walked 18 batters in his past 22 innings.

Pirates calendar Home PIRATE BOX SCORES Sunday's game Pirates 3, St. Louis 2 FROM PAGE 11 out, and Walk went to the ninth needing only three outs for his second complete game. He got the first two, although right fielder Darnell Coles had to go to the wall in the corner to catch Ozzie Smith's drive.

Then Willie McGee lined a single to right, stole second and continued to third on catcher Mike LaValliere's throwing error. Tom Brunansky walked, and Leyland went to Gott. Gott threw a strike to Tony Pena, who drilled the next pitch by Bonilla for a single, making it 3-2. But Gott struck out Jose Oquendo to earn only his second save since May 10. Walk was masterful through eight innings, allowing just three hits and no walks.

Two of the hits came in the second inning, when Walk was called for two balks by the balk-happy umpiring crew chaired by Doug Harvey. Brunansky had a leadoff single and went to second when first base umpire Frank Pulli called a balk. Pena's bunt sent Brunansky to third, and he scored on Oquendo's single on a 3-and-0 pitch. Tom Pagnozzi flied to right, and before Walk got Luis Alicea to bounce to Lind, Pulli called another balk. After the half-inning, Leyland strolled out to discuss things with Pulli.

"I like this crew," Leyland said. "I think it's a real professional crew. I have fun with them. My only problem was that Walk threw over to first six times the same way as the two that were called balks Frank said he saw something with his Walk's shoulder that was drastically different. If that's what he saw, OK." Walk weathered that inning and had retired 14 straight batters when McGee led off the seventh with a double.

No problem. McGee went to third on Brunansky's foul pop to right, and with the infield in, Walk got Pena on a ground ball to Lind. Then he caught Oquendo looking at a third strike. He zipped through the eighth routinely. Walk's 8-4 record is complemented by a 2.38 earned run average, meaning he should merit consideration for the All-Star game.

"He's got to be considered," said Whitey Herzog, the Cardinal manager who will select against it. His sinker really dove. This year, his sinker's sinking, but it's a pushed sink. It happened with that rib cage thing that put Dunne on the disabled list in April Dunne threw on the sidelines Saturday, using the newold delivery. "It felt like last year," Dunne said.

"It felt, uh, normal." The Pirates have fired Augusta Manager Jeff Cox, whose team finished second in its division after the first half of the South Atlantic League season. The Class A team had a 44-26 record. Cox could not be reached yesterday and reportedly was on his way home to California. But Augusta General Manager Len Monheimer said the firing came after Cox benched standout center fielder Moises Alou during a showdown series with Myrtle Beach, S.C., for the first-half title. "Evidently, it was a disciplinary problem," Monheimer said.

The Pirates were upset about Alou's benching and discussed that and other issues with Cox. However, Syd Thrift declined to elaborate on the firing. "Player development is the No. 1 thing in our player development program," the Pirates' general manager said. "It's more important than winning." Replacing Cox is Woody Huyke, the long-time manager at Bradenton of the Rookie League.

Julio Garcia will manage Bradenton this season. He'd been hired by the Pirates as a roving infield instructor. Saturday's game St. Louis 6, Pirates 3 ST.
