This just in: the offense is bad
And how do you know when the offense is bad? When PAUL MEYER writes an article that's critical of it . Yeah, that Paul Meyer. The Pirates have scored 18 runs in 6 games in May, winning only one of them. That's pretty much what happens when you score three runs a game, you lose a lot. You know what the scary part is? Adam LaRoche is hitting .316 in May. I know he's only slugging .328 on the month right now, but the point is that he's actually putting the ball in play and we still aren't scoring. And I don't think the runs are coming, either.
