Also they have been playing against the other bottom feeders. And I am not sure what the stats are showing but it seems that the pitching is wearing out almost everywhere in MLB. Every pitcher going many more innings than in 2020. So I would be cautious of drawing any conclusions that guys like Hernandez and Thomas are long term regular answers in the lineup. I mean the Phillies scored 17 runs last night and they have major holes in their lineup.
As they say in West Virginia, it's all relative. They are something like 2nd in runs this month. Yes, it's some bottom teams, but Miami had solid pitching, Marquez is good, it was the Mets, Wheeler too. I mean, it's more impressive than beating up the nyy or bos staff.
