Except ... Dalbec our first baseman is hitting .198, our left fielder finally got sent down but had been hitting .179, our utility infielder is hitting .188, & our utility outfielder is hitting .104.
Amazingly, the team batting average is a normal .254 thanks to the core but that just means if the 2-5 batters can't score runs the rest of the lineup is dead.
My apologies to disparaging Bobby Dalbec. He's up to .214 now after a heroic 3 for 3 outing yesterday. And it looks like Hernandez got dropped from the leadoff spot.
