If this were the middle of July it wouldn't even be a blip on the radar.

Counterpoint: You'd probably need a team of 25 Tony Gwynns to strike out just 58 times over 3.5 months. There's only one Tony Gwynn and he died several years ago, so I think that would register as a significant blip on all the metaphorical radars to see a team of 25 Tony Gwynns playing baseball together in 2018.

The real question is how many of those Tony Gwynns can dance on the head of a pin?
You two wanna go stick your wangs in a hornet's nest, it's a free country.  But how come I always gotta get sloppy seconds, huh?

How big a pin we talking? Gwynn was fatter than Baez.

Easy, now... let's not say anything we can't take back.  Are we talking about Tony Gwynn in his playing days, or just before he died?  Because Baez is probably somewhere in between.
Your toilet's broken, Dave, but I fixed it.

Approx. 3000 PAs by mid-July so 60 SO equals a K% of 2%. We'd need the '95 vintage if we want to make it to bliptown.

at some point this team is going to need to learn how to actually deal with pitchers who throw mostly off-speed stuff and change speeds. They get fooled by fucking wiffleballs.
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

Do any of the internet websites track which offenses are the highest/lowest variance? An offense that scores 9 runs one day and then 3 days the next would (you think) win less games than a hypothetical offense that scores 6 runs on both days. Wondering if the Cubs seemingly dramatic swings in production are actually that dramatic as compared to the rest of the league.

I would be very interested in that statistic.

All you would need to do is run an average and  a standard deviation on the number of runs scored for each team.  Would seem to be easy to do (just not by me)

Bumping this for an offense that can't hit anything other than mediocre or bad pitching.

I agree with the bumping of the thread, if not the sentiment expressed.
