Our starters are also...
16th WHIP
15th AVG
22nd Ks
-
19th BBs
15th HRs

Below average in everything besides BBs. (It, like HRs, are better to be ranked lower because they count by how many you've given up.)

Our relievers have been better at 12th in ERA.

Also...
7th WHIP
6th AVG
6th Ks
-
16th BBs
13th HRs

Above average in everything except HRs, which is probably slightly to be expected in GABP. Quite a bit above average in WHIP, AVG, and Ks.... our bullpen has been much stronger than our starting staff. Ashcraft, Montez, and Martinez have all been below average on the year and that's 24 of our 54 starts.

As for the offense making some noise they're...
19th Rs
29th AVG
26th OBP
26th SLG
28th OPS
7th BBs
1st SB
-
6th Ks
1st CS

They take a lot of walks and steal a ton of bases, but they are REALLY bad at everything else. Don't expect any noise before it's over. This year is not a Reds team to have and real hope for.

On a depressing note, in the 10 games since that electric 4 hit/4 SB game, EDLC is hitting .108/.214/.162 (.377 OPS) with 17 Ks (39.5% K rate) and just 1 SB.

Oh don't get me wrong. I have no illusions that this is a deep playoff run team. I'm just hoping they can bring it up into the "fun zone" still playing for something come August. It's a long shot for sure.
