2008 Hitting Summary

[Frayed Knot]

Overall pretty good for a team playing in a pitchers' park and virtually devoid of corner outfielders.

too many runs; not enough doubles.

[Guest AG/DC]

Yeah, to carry over from the last thread, doubles are what you want more of from your singles hitters, not your power hitters.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I think maybe we could stand to be less awesome in triples, thereby improving our shameful double showing.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Improving the run prevention, particularly in the late innings, would probably help the team win more games.

How does the team rank in GIDP?

[soupcan]

So we can conclude that the offense was not the problem?

Hmmm, what could it have been then...?

129 GiDPs vs a NL avg of 124
a difference which is pretty much a non-factor IMO, especially when you consider that a higher BA/lower K team (like us) is likely to be a bit higher just from more opportunities and more balls in play.
