Fangraphs take on that exact topic http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/when-stars-and-scrubs-doesnt-work/ It's seems kinda bizarre to me that the lineup has a leadoff hitter with a .372 OBP, the next four hitters all have a .300 plus batting average, and a .900 plus OPS, yet consistently scoring runs is such a struggle. I get why the pitching is bad, the talent in the rotation is poor. The offensive struggles though are a little harder to explain given the numbers of the top five hitters in the order, even though i get that Lucroy has struggled a lot, Weeks has hit more like a pitcher with an almost unfathomable .555 OPS, and Yuni reverted back to being Yuni.
