I swear, you guys won't let anything thru.
We have identical wOBA as last year, and it was better just yesterday. We just hit 1 HR in 11 games. Freeman has been slumping. A couple of good games from Freddie, and our offense is bumped up.
Obviously we had more talented hitters last year than this year. By the end of the year, however, I do not expect our offense to be worse than last year. Right now, it's been around the same and that's been with a major slump. A couple of even mediocre games will put us above last year's team.
None of this is even really the point. We were supposed to be teh worzt offense evarrrrr omggg but even after a heavy slump are right in line with last year's STAR STUDDED team ohmygod HOW DID WE LET THEM GO. The rebuild is, right now, undoubtedly working.
Again, this is exactly why people have a problem with those that only read the stats: you can pick one or two and spout them, and suddenly your point is (somehow) made. It's really not how it works. Finished with addressing these posts. chicken little ass ninjas.
I do love how the whiners and chicken heads never post in GDTs or talk about the game, just come on the next day and, if they feel justified, whine and use snark. just too classic.
The weird sidelight to this ongoing (and exhausting) conversation is that the improvement—or at least the holding serve—of this year's offense has ****-all to do with shedding Heyward, Upton, and Gattis. Some folks seem determined to twist those two subjects together in a way that doesn't even pass the sniff test, as far as I can tell.
