It wouldn't be Tuesday...

The Stats Geek reiterates a theme from last week and it's a pretty simple one. GET MORE HITS. More specifically, get some hits that go far and aren't singles. Of 52 NL pitchers with enough innings to qualify, Kip Wells, Mark Redman and Josh Fogg are 52nd, 51st, and 47th in the NL in run support. Yeah, they've been bad, but the offense has been worse. In some cases, a lot worse (though with runners in scoring position, they've been downright good, scoring one run per 2.48 ABs with a RISP, best in the NL, go figure that one out).
