A team being that far below .250 still blows my mind.
I know batting average has been declining over the years, but man.
This year, the average BA is .237 so far.
Last year, .243.
It hasn't been in the .26X range since the 2000's.
Are pitchers just getting that good or are hitters focusing too much on the long ball nowadays that it's causing BA to drop?
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
Sorry for Party Rocking!
