00:00like starting pitching's on there outside of crochet the bats are on there the massive
00:04strikeouts the defense used to be on there i feel like that's been cleaned up largely because the
00:08overall yeah i think defense early in the season you'd point to that is what i put the first couple
00:12weeks i'm like why are they underachieving that is what i would point to i mean the manager's on
00:16the list defense is one of them but i felt this way last year about the team where they didn't
00:21have the expectations but it was the same thing as soon as you were ready to say the starting
00:25rotation was a strength it wasn't and then as soon as you were ready to like write off the
00:30bullpen they'd pitch well and then the like they've overall scored i think enough runs but it does seem
00:36like there's been a lot of kind of all or nothing games right like where they have the game where
00:40they scored double digits so like you might average x amount but it's not really you're not getting that
00:44consistently i just think they're one of those teams where like they don't have one thing they
00:49can really hang their hat on like that is like this is the thing they do the best but then also
00:54it's a variety of reasons why you're a 500 team so as much as i want to say cora's their main issue
01:00i think he's been bad yeah i don't think he's their main issue but you know maybe some of his issues
01:05are symptomatic uh or or he is a symptom rather some of their bigger issues like their strikeouts
01:11to me are alarming so yeah that's a good one the only teams that struck out four 65 times this year
01:16yeah 465 which is third in baseball the teams who have struck out more than them the colorado rockies
01:22who are trending to be worse than the white socks a year ago what were you telling me yesterday nick
01:26they're they're trending to be the worst team in modern baseball history colorado you read something
01:31this morning they have the worst start since 1895 yeah they're 8 and 42 and then the grab bag they're
01:378 and 42 okay am i mistaken don't worry about it i'm just saying like i just saw that stat too like
01:41they're historically the uh maybe the worst team in over 100 years okay the other teams in the top
01:47five are right around where they are the angels are surprisingly only a game under 500 24 and 25
01:52cincinnati has massively underachieved they're 25 and 26 so similar to boston and then the other team
01:58in the top five is detroit who's actually been great at 33 and 18 i think that their whole as you said
02:03keith approach at the plate and i think the manager is somewhere on the list with that issue
02:07if you're asking me why they underachieved 16 k's the other night it's yeah it's crazy they're
02:13non-competitive at bats for what should be a what should be a good offense
