Bisons by the month
June had been pretty good to the Bisons until they dropped the last four games to Charlotte, including Tuesday's 4-3 headscratcher that wasted Jonathon Niese's continued brilliance.
The Herd is off Wednesday. The record is 26-49 overall, 14-30 at home.
Yes, 30 home losses before July 1. Wow. Still, June was much better. Let's compare:
April: 2-17, .197 team batting average, 2.5 runs per game, 4.25 team ERA
May: 12-18, .251 BA, 3.4 rpg, 3.96 ERA
June: 12-15, .268 BA, 4.0 rpg, 3.93 ERA.
Bisons were fourth in the IL in batting in June. Think the change of hitting coaches from Luis Natera to Bill Masse had some impact? You bet.
Hey, the Bisons were better than the parent Mets in June (9-18) and the Double-A Binghamton Mets (8-21), who had the worst month in their history.
Holy Shea, this organization is a mess!!!
