Wrote: I'm not FREAKING out freaking out yet, as the season is only a little over a month old and they COULD put together a hot month or two to stay in it, but man it's getting bleaker by the day when they're hitting like this. Even with Friedl back, I don't expect him to just start smoking MLB pitching right outta the gate, in fact it wouldn't surprise me one bit of he also caught whatever offensive flu the rest of the clubhouse has came down with. I hope not, but it wouldn't surprise me one bit!

Summer is right around the corner, here's to hoping they get this worked out before they're out of it by the ASB!

Oh I'm not throwing in the towel just yet. Like you say this season isn't even 1/4 the way thru yet. But my champagne wishes, and caviar dreams have cooled a bit.

I get it, this team is still pretty young. There's going to be ups a downs. There's going to be waves in the ocean. It's a hell of a long season! But they're now (besides an inning here and there) in a 14 game "TEAM SLUMP" of near epic proportions.

You could send 9 guys up there blindfolded and they'd hit for a higher average. 

Bell needs to manage and not stare at computer stats. Put on some hit and runs, run and hits, suicide squeeze, have guys steal that aren't great at it, bunt more and so on. Anything to get this offense out of it's funk.
