Well offhand I'd say I agree with the first two categories. For the last two, perhaps we are 2nd in DPs as a consequence of so few Ks. Homeruns are nice but will not win you a NC in the cavern of TDAmeritrade. If my team depends on HRs to score most of our runs that is a concern not a strength. Strike outs looking, eh, Ks are Ks and we do it less than anybody. Most wild pitches? I'm not saying that is a good stat, but many times its related to an effective hammer throwing pitching staff. As far as worst fielding I think we solved 70% of that issue this past weekend.

One thing that concerns me that's not on your list is hitting with RISP and/or stranded baserunners.

Um we've given up the second fewest hits and you have it in the bad category. Might out to change that. And I assume k's looking are a pitching stat too considering we have the least amount of k's in the league offensively.. and the hits allowed is a positive stat as well . So might need to change your info.

Good catch. I messed that one up.

We have hit more homeruns so far in the year than we usually do. We are averaging more than one homerun per game, for perspective, we didn't average that when Brent Rooker went off in 2017 and is also a welcome change from when we only hit 16(!) total homeruns in all of 2014.

After further review you really need to go back and do this completely over. We aren't even close to next to last in runs. You missed on multiple more in where our placement is on categories. Some by one spot, no big deal. But if you're going to post it and have people who read it, ( and many beleive every thing they read) at least put out accurate info. Yours is wrong.
