In response to "Have you looked at other teams lineups in the league?" by groiny

I watch nearly every game. They rely on the home run and don't hit well with RISP.

This is an all or nothing team that can't manufacture runs. It's not a well built team despite the names not on the back of the jersey.
Yes, the lineup is impressive on paper and most teams would love to have our problems.

But I've watched this team all season and they pitch well, play defense even better and hit a lot of home runs. They're not a great hitting team when they need to be. They just out slug the other guys.

I do not disagree with that assessment. - groiny Aug 16, 14:59 3
- Oh, I do. Other than CC, these aren't all star guys on the mound. Kuuroda has been much better than I expected. - Krusty Aug 16, 15:04 2
  - when you lost Gardner, you guys are forced to out slug everyone. - groiny Aug 16, 15:06 1
    - Ichiro changes the way we play when he's in the lineup. Similar style to Gardner but somehow walks even less. :-) -- nm - Krusty Aug 16, 15:26
