Well if people on this site, especially in the game thread think it so, then it is real.
Gunnar is hitting 287 with 33 HR for the year. He really hasn’t slumped much. He is 23 in his second year.
Astros might end up getting the best record in the AL because the Orioles, Yankees and Guardians have blown their opportunity to separate themselves from the field.
Average numbers blah blah. One feast game makes several famine games average out. It is true. The offense stinks right now and has stunk for a bit. A 12 spot evens it out and makes the "average" apologists look right. There is no consistency anywhere. I would love to see the consistency we had the first couple of months this year again. Punt the 12 spot games. I want to see that 5.whatever runs per game be a 5 to 6 spot 5+ nights a week. As Moose said, what happened to us making the pitcher work and throw a lot of pitches? That has been completely abandoned.
Even the Mariners and White Sox putrid offenses can pull out a feast game to offset the putrid game averages. We are better than that.
It's not just me and people on this site that sees issues with this offense, I don't know which one it was, I believe it might have been Ben McDonald, who said during a broadcast some time ago that this team often doesn't do anything in the middle innings.
One glaring issue on offense is Adley. He really needs to turn it around. His "slump" has been longer than 10 games. I brought this up in the other thread, where has Mounty's power gone to? The only somewhat consistent hitter has been Santander and now Gunner, who's finally getting out of his slump.
