I wanted to title this thread, UNDER ACHEIVING A-HOLES, but decided to be a little more civil.
Which, at the moment, is more than just a little difficult because I am absolutely furious at this bunch of under achieving morons.
So, with that in mind, I did some research.
As Joe Friday said in the old Dragnet show: "Just the facts, Ma'am, just the facts."
And here they are, and they ain't pretty.
Player At bats Home Runs RBIs
Bailey 232 6 39
Sabol 259 11 36
Wade 330 11 33
Pederson 256 11 39
Consider: Bailey and Sabol are rookies and are basically clueless as to the pitchers they face.
Yet in 24 more at bats, Patrick only has 3 less RBIs than Pederson, and 6 more than Wade!
Sabol has 3 less at bats than Pederson, but the SAME NUMBER OF HRS!
If you look at our established veterans, only Flores is at or exceeding his expected numbers.
I keep beating on JD Davis and I have no intention of stopping on the off chance that he reads this board.
Wade has been in a toilet-draining-spiral for weeks, right along side of JD.
Conforto, though he recently got hot, was hitting in the .230's, and his 15 HRs are only buoyed because of that hot streak.
Estrada looks like he's finally got his timing back and is starting to hit the ball well again.
But here's the deal:
Flores
Conforto
Davis
Wade
Pederson
Are established major leaguers; 56% of our line up!
And we can't score any runs?
Those 5 guys alone should be responsible for putting up 2-4 runs per game.
But they aren't.
I will not accept any excuse from any of them.
They are getting paid a lot of money to perform... but only Flores is.
Pederson, Davis and Conforto are not being held accountable for their lack of production.
Each of those 3 have over 5 years of ML experience each.
This crap has been going on for too long now. Too long.
I don't want to hear fatigue
I don't want to hear their mechanics are off
I don't want to hear any of their excuses because 30 days is more than enough time to fix what's wrong.
But they haven't.
And frankly, I'm surprised that fans are still showing up at the ball park in the 20 and 30 thousand range.
I know I wouldn't go.
Heck, right now it's hard enough for me to even turn on the TV and watch them!
So, for those of you who live in the left wing bay area (small letters. They don't deserve any CAPS).
Where's the out cry?
Where's the protest against what they are not doing?
Are the fans being vocal in the press/media at all?
Inquiring minds, ticked off minds, want to know.
