With the pitching the O's have gotten and just average RISP, they would be at .500. What's looming if the pitching hits a pothole? Could be bad stretch coming up.

I wonder whether the short benches and reduced ability to pinch-hit in clutch, men-on-base situations has a negative effect on hitting with RISP. It seems logical that it would, but it may be quite small.

Update through the week ending 5/29.  All references are to the week ending…

4/17: 10 for 86 (.116); 21 runs in 9 games

4/24: 11 for 58 (.190); 23 runs in 7 games

5/1: 15 for 52 (.288); 27 runs in 6 games

5/8: 10 for 43 (.233); 25 runs in 6 games

5/15: 8 for 41 (.195); 18 runs in 7 games

5/22: 16 for 69 (.232); 33 runs in 7 games

5/29: 13 for 54 (.241); 33 runs in 7 ganes

For reference, the league is hitting .243 with RISP.  We’ve been below that every week but one.   But, four of the last five weeks have a least been respectable.
