Then you get to Griffey. He may be going to the hall of fame but as it stands he is amongst the worse 3 hole hitters in the league. This is a spot you wat a guy batting .330 or so. Griff hasn’t sniffed .300 since being with Cincinnati. What is he doing batting 3rd. Any other team would bat him 5th. Phillips is not a cleanup hitter. He’s a great player but 30 home runs was pretty much the maximum of his power potential and considering GABP is his home park it really isn’t all that impressive of a number. Then you get to Dunn who is constantly pitched around because there is no protection behind him. Thus he gets used to taking pitches so that when he does miraculosly get something to hit he is tardy on it. E squared is off to a slow start and yea you can;t expect much from Bako. Hatteberg was one of our best hitters last year but he is splitting time with Votto now and they are plugged in the number 7 spot.

I don;t know what more to say, but this offense has major problems. What happens when Patterson goes into a slump?

There is nothing more frustrating than stranding 23 runners in 2 games. But this isn’t the first time they’ve stranded tons of runners. Now it’s being noticed because it has caught up with them and has started to cost them games.
