I looked up the 2002 (106 loss) season. The Brewers OPS was .711.
Before today's game the Brewers OPS was .677. So yes, it seems like they are hitting worse than those bad teams. Especially since that .711 number includes the pitchers of that team. This year's team hits like there are 2-3 pitchers in the lineup.
I'm glad I chose to watch WWE Raw tonight.
