The baseball savant page has a lot of blue, meaning he hasn't been unlucky.

He just hasn't been...

making great contact.

And unfortunately, that's just a huge drop off.

He was amazing last year.

And this year, he's still searching for it.

Here we are in June, he's still searching for it.

So yeah, it's, it's tough.

And I think you look at the overall offense.

And as a group, this is a team right now that's 24th in Major League Baseball in WRC plus.

So that is seventh, seventh from the bottom in Major League Baseball when it

Yeah, it's tough to win a lot of games.

This also contributes to how much pressure has been on the pitching staff.

Not only do they just have the three starters right now, but they also are playing a lot of close games.

So that puts their relievers in a lot of leverage.

And, you know, as we say this, it is kind of remarkable.

Like, I don't want to be too down on it because, hey, there's three games under 500, which they can overcome within a week, a good week.

And they're still very, very close to playoff position here as we're into June.

Yeah, no, that's for sure.

They are a long way away from that.
