Or maybe losing a guy who hit .305 and won the ROTY award the previous year and was hitting .285 when he got injured and was replaced by a couple of guys who collectively hit something like .200 may have had something to do with it.
In truth, there's no reason to construct the fictitious category of "chemistry" when what you're really describing is talent. Nobody talks about "chemistry" in individual sports like tennis, but whether Venus Williams has a bad year because of injuries or the Giants have a bad year because of injuries, it's largely the same thing. It's not the "chemistry" that is suffering, it's the level of talent.
