Offensive July

[LHG]

We all know that this has been a hard month (along with May) and the offense has been struggling. How badly? Well, look at the slash lines of the hitters on the team for the month of July:

.800 OPS
Chase D'Arnaud - .286/.316/.486 (35 ABs)

.700 OPS
Hunter Pence - .297/.297/.500 (36 ABs)
Steven Duggar - .286/.309/.396 (53 ABs)

.600 OPS
Pablo Sandoval - .200/.267/.418 (55 ABs)
Alen Hanson - .286/.308/.365 (63 ABs)
Brandon Belt - .232/.329/.319 (69 ABs)
Buster Posey - .254/.329/.310 (71 ABs)
Austin Slater - .250/.351/.281 (32 ABs)
Nick Hundley - .259/.310/.296 (27 ABs)
Andrew McCutchen - .205/.333/.274 (73 ABs)

.500 OPS
Gorkys Hernandez - .219/.242/.344 (64 ABs)
Brandon Crawford - .184/.279/.237 (76 ABs)

.300 OPS
Joe Panik - .150/.150/.150 (20 ABs)

Based on numbers for the month, the best lineup that could be put together for today is:

Slater - rf
Posey - c
D'Arnaud - ss
Pence - lf
Longoria - 3b
Sandoval - 1b
Hanson - 2b
Duggar - cf

When the only two hitters that are being effective the whole month are a career minor leaguer and a veteran well on the down side of his career, you know the team is going to lose some games.

Obviously the “like” is for the research and insight. Not the actual message...
