I just have a hard time believing this team is performing below their talent level. We're 37-47, our pythagorean is 39-45. Our offense is fine, but our pitching was going to be average at best and when you factor in our awful defense they were going to look worse than they are. Is it any shock that our pitching has a .328 BABIP with our awful defense behind them? You could say that's luck, but it's not. It was known that this wasn't going to be a good defensive team. Team ERA is 4.76, team xFIP is 4.41. The ERA is 14th in the National League, the xFIP is 11th. So still well below average. This isn't luck, it's a poorly constructed team.
