Why do we consistantly struggle to hit with RISP throughout the Years?

After looking at the stats, I would say it has a lot to do with the manager putting players in the best position to win. We haven't been good at all at it since Fredi took over. Can't imagine it is just a coincidence.

Of course you can't imagine that. It would against your stance on Fredi.
 
I think the better way to look at it is the teams overall batting average compared to the teams batting avg with RISP. I haven't looked it up but the Braves seem to be a poor batting avg in team in general. So of course the team will have a poor avg with RISP.

Exactly. Over the long haul teams that hit .250 tend to hit about .250 with RISP. Teams that hit .280 tend to hit about .280 with RISP.

The other thing is that RISP tends to fluctuate from team to team and (especially) player to player over time due to comparatively small sample sizes.
