Wonder if our woes this early are from the Murphy Effect . We are 14th in Avg. 14th in OBP , 11th in runs scored , yet 2nd in Home runs . That tells the whole tale . AA brought in Melky ,Jose Reyes , and Izturis to address the OBP problem . Reyes is hurt . melky has an OBP of 301 and Izturis 246 . The whole team still seems to be swinging for the fences and that never works .
This team has few that have a two strike approach thus the K rate is ugly . I know this isn't Mottola,s approach , Is Murph still being heard ?
