Yuli had his hand surgery. Typically 6 months for the power to return. Still showing his clutch hitting with his RBIs. Should have more power when we near the playoffs.
Now that my thread has had its intended effect ... One area I was curious about was GDP. We are 2nd to last, grounding into 66 double plays so far this year. http://www.espn.com/mlb/stats/team/_/stat/batting/sort/GIDPs/type/expanded-2/order/true OK thread, do your work
Last year we were number 1 by a wide margin, 139 which was 20 ahead of second place. When you get on base a ton and never strike out, you’ll have a lot of GIDP. Also, last year we seemed to be a heavier TOOTBLANs team than we are now. The unintended consequence of that is that our peripherals end up looking even better than our basic numbers like runs scored.
