I know it's still early and it's only a small sample size so far but I'm surprised how we are not getting any power or xbh's from the DH/SS/3B/CF/Bench positions in the lineup.
Collins, Yelich, Mitchell, Dunn, Ortiz Capra, and Hoskins have way below average .slg rates. Yelich is closer with his slg rate (due to his 3HR) to NL average (still think his .slg need to be 50-60 points higher though to be an effective offensive weapon) but goose eggs for Mitchell, Ortiz, and Hoskins in the power and xbh threat. Mitchell, Ortiz and Hoskins only have 1 xbh each. Even in tonight's game only 5 hits all singles.
Right now our offensive threat is Chourio and recently Contreras.
We are hoping that with some of the guys coming off the IL that the pitching side of things will level out but right now our lineup has to many outs and weak contact in it regardless of this recent stretch of SP we have been seeing.
Glass half full is they will eventually get hot and get closer to their career averages which will do wonders for this offense considering even with all the struggles in the lineup, we are 4th right now in total Runs for the NL. But we need improvement from the majority of the lineup otherwise that won't last.
