The first Mad Men thread last year was also on 9/13. It's like 9/11 for the rest of the NL Central, plus two.

One important thing to remember is that offense is way down across the league. That's not to say that we aren't struggling, particularly with regards to slugging. Our drop in slugging is way, way more than it should have been. But the league had a .750 OPS last year and it's at .728 this year. As for Willson, he's dropped way off in slugging but his OBP is nearly the same. OBP is more important. So his overall offensive performance hasn't dropped as much it would seem, especially considering the league-wide shift. That's the same for a lot of these guys (Happ, Almora): OBP nearly the same if not higher with huge drops in slugging. It looks weird, but they haven't been that much worse overall comparative to the rest of the league. As for Schwarber, his OBP is up over .040 points from last year. And he's also up in slugging%. At a time the rest of the league took a huge step back. Of course he's had a bounce-back season. You can't complain about everyone else taking a small step back and then not credit a guy like Schwarber for making a small step up.
