This is a really bad hitting team. Ranked among the bottom in BA,
althoug h, surprisingly, many of the hitters have a lot of walks to go
with their .214 BA's.
But they really unloaded on the local nine this weekend. I was at the
Sunday game and they did it again. 9 runs in the first 2 innings and 14
overall.
