Horrible? Putrid? Embarrassing? I am sure there are more adjectives than that but you get the message. I could have drawn up 1000 different April outcomes and a putrid offense would have been 1001. A .235 team average with a .312 team OBP? Offense is down drastically this year, but this is ridiculous.
Offensive numbers are way down and these prove how much. ,Also noticing strikeouts are way down as well. The one thing it appears we can do it steal bases....
Of course, the team jumping out of the gates in the AL is our division rival Detroit. With the exception of NY and Phoenix, everyone is within 6 and most are within 2 of the division lead.
LA is off to a big start and SF injuries are not going to help. San Diego off to a decent start and Austin has 11 wins, I think we had 11 around June 1st our 1st expansion season.
