Wasn't he pretty awful before that?

He had a streak of like 22 in a row succesfully stolen that ended in early July...right before these struggles began. He stole 2 in the first game back from the break...but after that Cleveland sweep ended...he's just fallen apart on the basepaths.

Frighteningly, our offense is actually not that bad, we're still like 12th or 13th in the league in runs scored.  Not the Red Sox, but certainly not terrible.

 

The problem with our offense is that it is still hugely home-run driven...we're 3rd in teh AL in home runs, which is the antethisis of what Ozzie ball was supposed to be.  We've been surprisingly bad this season at manufacturing runs against good pitching.  When you look at a team like the Angels, who have scored virtually the same number of runs as us, they've done it with far fewer home runs, but a lot more base hits.

 

Our guys are swinging for the fences.  When pitchers throw balls that they can hit, it works like dynamite.  But when the pitcher moves things around and keeps our guys off balance, they look really bad, because they just have not been good at manufacturing things.

Keep in mind we also play in a homer haven park. When guys like Figgins and Erstad go deep in the same game,you know something's not right........I'm not saying ouroffense is BAD, were just not good. Were mediocre at best. IMO
