May 14, 200917 yr Going by runs created If Uggla played the way he's "suppose" to (career line of .258/.338/.481), he'd add 8 more runs. If Cody did (.255/.315/.476), that's 9 more. If ricky pitched the way he was suppose to (FIP 4.34, career ERA 4.49), we'd have 16 less runs against. That also isn't then including the fact that Cody and Uggla would have more PA and Ricky would have more IP. That would then put us at 176-156 RS-RA instead of 159-172. We currently have a .461 Pythagorean win % (16-19 current record, 74 win season). If they were right, we'd have a .560 (19-16 current record, 90 win season). When it comes to our offense, we knew what we were getting out of Boniacio and we knew there was a decent sized chance Maybin would fail. We knew Anibal and Miller were questionmarks. Optimistically, we could look at us as being a mid-90's team. Looking at those 4 to fail, we'd probably be a mid-80's team. Having all 4 of those fail, plus having 3 good regulars have the bottom taken out beneath them is what's put us on this slide. If Uggla goes back to .800+, cody goes back to 800+, Ricky goes back to sub-4 the rest of the way, we should still be fine. Some breaks go our way and we'd be better than fine. And based off how they're "doing" (cody and uggs hit LDs and such, Ricky still King and not BBing guys, ect), I think they can go back to those things.
May 14, 200917 yr This basically sums it up. It's not that they are not good...rather, they are underachieving. Some people fail to realize this.
May 15, 200917 yr The bench gets overlooked but they also deserve some blame. Fredo, Carroll and both "Professional Hitters" have stunk.
May 15, 200917 yr So basically a team slump. With a couple of the BGBs going for the start of the season. Interesting concept.

You don't constantly have to look down your nose at us. I'm not. Just exercising my right to point out deficiencies just like you guys are. Just because certain guys are board favs dosen't make them exempt from being pointed at when they have been doing so poorly the entire season. I could take this further, just not going to.
May 16, 200917 yr Which "BGB" are slumping right now? Ross and Uggla are BGB? From what I can tell you think Coghlan is a BGB (Which is f***ing dumb, but whatever), Hermida I will agree is and there is probably a sizable group for whom Bonifacio is one as well. Who else?
May 17, 200917 yr Hermida isn't struggling though. He's playing his ass off. If anything, Bonifacio(ut) is the Golden Boy.

Boni is the FO's golden boy, sure as hell not here. i dont know about hermi being a BGB, some are a bit to hard on him. Hes not what i thought hed be when we drafted him or the 2nd half player we saw in 07 but hes not as bad as some say.

No contest. Bonifacio would have to be here for much longer doing very badly for the hate to even catch up.
