Got hitters who should be hitting 35+ HR barely reaching 11-12 a year with 35-40 RBI. .330 hitters reduced to .240 hitters. I'm not even going to start on my pitching. All the ones bloviating about learning your roster, blah, blah, blah....I wanna hear what you got to say when you team is sucking badly with same players most everyone got...But more luckier winning the lottery than assembling a consistent team in PERFECT TEAM. Something just ain't jiving
Game after my 21-0 lost Syndergaard gave up 7 runs on 12 hits in 4.2 innings. team gave up 18 more hits & lost 8-1. last 2 games 0-2 losing combined score of 29-1 giving up 39 hits. lol...Carlos Carrasco Noah Syndergarrd started those games....LMAO

I'm not sure which guy you think should be hitting 35+ who is "barely reaching" 11-12.Going down your team in power, you have Eloy future who's an 80, who has 13 HR in 100 games this year, or at least on pace for about 20. Your other power hitters are Abreu, who's already hit 21 HR, Fisk, who admittedly has done bad for you, but who still has 7 HR in 50 games, Winfield, who has 12 in 90 games, Arenado only has 3 HR but only 29 games. Your next few best hitters all have 10+ HR in 90-100 games, so again, well above what you say.
Batting is low, but it's low for everyone because pitching is so good. But your team is 3rd in the league in HR. Remember, the league batting average is around .260, and this is a league where teams routinely have guys like Bregman or Winfield on the bench, so you need some luck to be higher.
Yeah, your Syndergaard had a bad game, but other than that one stinker, he's done pretty well for you. And again, remember, the average starter in the league is a mid-80s rated starter. And I know it was in your other thread, but if you think ratings mean nothing, I would suggest going to the league, check all qualified starters, and sort by WAR or FIP or anything. On the first page, I see 3 perfects, 9 diamonds, 8 golds, and 3 silvers (2xLen Barker plus Whitley). On the bottom page, yes, there are a Carrasco and a Strasburg, but it's mostly Bronze and Silver players.
Basically, the talent levels are just crazy high. So yeah, sometimes you get unlucky. You're also unlucky this year in that you have 2 of the probably 4 or 5 best teams in the league in your division, so that sets you a bit back from the get-go, unfortunately. And we're both in a little bit of an unfortunate spot, being around the .500 mark, enough back that we need a good run to get a wildcard spot, but I think we're both top-16 in the league, so if you think this year is hard, next year might be worse.
