Well....quite a June. We went 19-11 and are now just 1 1/2 behind the A's in 2nd place. The bats were explosive all month, all 9 of our regulars have an OPS+ over 100, everyone is rowing the boat.
Wynn has vaulted into MVP awareness as he is 2nd in HR's, 2nd in RBI 5th in slugging and 5th in OPS. Mickey Rivers is back to leading the leading in hitting and Al Bumbry is up to .300 and is 31 for 34 in steals.
The team is 1st in AVG, 2nd in OPB, 2nd in offensive WAR, 4th in slugging ....and dead last in HR's. We are 1st in triple and 3rd in doubles along with being 1st in steals.
Attendance is on the rise as we ended the month on a 12-3 tear. After being as low as 5,000 early in the year we were up to 11,000 on the last day of the month. Since we are still $350,000 over budget, we need to get that number to keep rising. I did raise ticket prices 20% in the off-season which led to the low early numbers. But if we can actually be in a pennant race, it could turn out to be good move.
