A slightly below average offense, yes, but the pitching was incredible and the defense in the field was pretty stellar as well. They're a solid team.
Oh, their pitching has been top notch. Defense has been a part of that. I just think they would've won a hell of a lot more games without a crappy offense.

Like I said in some thread, not sure which. I despise their offensive philosophy because it just doesn't work. If their 1-3 starters wouldn't have all posted career years, they'd be a 75-win team based on that offense. It's frustrating to cheer for a team who just does things so obviously stupid and wrong offensively.
