I should have finished this series up last week, but the reason I do month-by-month analysis is to give myself a chance to break down the season into manageable chunks to tease out various story lines.
Despite a potent offense, the K-Mets struggled to a 9-17 record in July.  The offense hit .290/.368/.436 and scored 184 [...]

So I’m bringin back the monthly reviews for each affiliate, starting in St. Lucie…
