Well that was an interesting August
15-10 while the A's crashed to earth going 11-15, so we are only 5 1/2 back with 35 games left and 6 games to play against the A's. We've got a shot.
Wynn is out a few more weeks, but we will get him back with 2 weeks to go. I'll slot him back in at DH and hope we go 4-2 or 5-1 against the A's so we can make this a fun last few weeks.
4th in runs scored and runs allowed and we have the 4th best record in the AL. Seems like we are where we should be. Bumbry is now 54 for 62 in steals, leads the league by a mile. He also leads in runs and triples. He's a real catalyst.
Our young 3b and C are developing well, 22 yr old Meoli at 3rd is .285/.390/.412 and 22 year old catcher Marquez is .274/.373/.404. I am trying to get players that can draw walks and run some. Marquez and Meoli each have a dozen steals adding to their value.
Two games in Chicago before coming home for 4 against the A's. We need to start drawing. We are slowing closing the revenue gap from last year and hopefully this A's series can be a success on and off the field.
