And Freeman being out for a month and our closer who was having a really good season getting hurt.

Yes, those factors led us from being the a decent team (which we were) to the awful team that we are today.

Not sure how that can be denied.

Freeman being out hurt. And losing Grili really didnt' have much of an impact. JJ was still good and losing our closer didn't cause us to stop scoring runs.

You still fail to acknowledge that the only reason we were 'good' was because of unexpected starts to the season from several hitters. And most of them have regressed to the mean and we are garbage again.

You built up the fact that making contact would score more runs. Well guess what? It hasn't.
