It happens like this all over the league though, especially the hard grounders, these teams nowadays know how to defense these hitters and are positioned almost perfectly.
So these line drives that go right to an outfielder or hard grounders being right at a fielder isn't unlucky, it's just good scouting by the opponents.
Yep, that why saying they're spending means nothing because the bulk was spent on players that aren't getting the job done.
Those 4 hitters in that group are supposed to be the heart of the offense.
Small ball works if executed right
Bunts, stolen bases, hit n run, hitting the other way to move runners over/in, Sac flies, taking extra base.
You can steal a couple add on runs this way, the problem is they struggle to score any runs to add onto.
Tied with the Mets 37 losses only the Rockies and Marlins has more, so right there with the bottom 3(4) of the league.
Maybe their luck will change soon 🤷♂️
