It sure looks like it.

Thus far Joey Votto is batting .226 without an extra base hit and 2 RBI's. Adam Duvall is batting .107 with 11 strikeouts. Jose Peraza is batting .200 with 7 strikeouts and no extra base hits or RBI's. Billy Hamilton is batting .136 with a .240 OBP. 

That's four regular starters batting for a combined .167 average with a combined 9 RBI's, Duvall has 6 of them alone. So half of our offense is stinking the place up. And now one of the four actually hitting, Suarez, is out for an extended period. Gennett started off decent but has been slipping and he can't drive in a run to save his life ! He has 1 RBI and he's the cleanup hitter.

I figured the offense would at least be decent this season but it seems they're going to stink just as bad as the pitching.

It's early lets hope they turn it around.
