Other than Cano, the rest of the lineup is batting 255 or worse. Thats a fucking horrible offense. No way they win 80 games.
For someone who is so good with advanced metrics in other sports, gotta admit I'm shocked to see you site something as meaningless as batting average.
This offense is a dreckfest as always, but not because of it's batting average.
I admit, I dont know jack shit about baseball and my friend in that industry says the same that batting avg is not a good stat. But when did that change? I don't remember people disputing BA 10 or 15 years ago. If you had at least a few guys hitting above 300, you'd have a better offense.

The Mariners suck in both as well, go figure.
Although I do love the 6 walks they've drawn today
In all seriousness the team probably isn't that good but 3 in a row at oakland is damn impressive
