Strange, it's almost as if you have a lineup that is absolutely inept at putting balls in play you aren't going to have much offense. I think they will end up being OK, but between injuries and a lot of guys coming back to earth from last year I think this is a decent team that should make the playoffs, but they certainly aren't going to run away with the division.
Maybe the stats say otherwise, but it sure seems like the approach for much of the lineup is not good at all. They are taking so many strikes, then getting down 0-2 or 1-2 and chasing stuff out of the zone. Buxton was swinging early in the count, and though it got him in trouble at first he started to really get hot and drive the ball by being aggressive until he was injured. Then again, he's at 20:1 K:BB, so there's that. The rate at which Sano and Cave strikeout is absolutely incredible.
It seems like league-wide more pitchers are adjusting and are being more aggressive early in the count. Watching the Braves last night absolutely pounding first pitch strikes made me super jealous.
