Worst Offensive Performance - 2025

[RobDibblesGhost]

I think this is it. Awful.

Those first 8 innings were as bad as it gets.

I’m so tired of this team being abysmal. Can this be the year we finally get rid of Rizzo, Davey, and the Lerners?

3 against Colorado. Can it get worse?

Usually we talk about a single game in this thread, but I think as a series this  disaster in Pittsburgh probably has to be up there.

Cumulative stats, see the bottom team: https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=0&type=8&season=2025&month=1000&season1=2025&ind=0&team=0%2Cts&rost=&age=&filter=&players=0&startdate=2025-04-14&enddate=2025-04-17

Lowlites? 137 PAs, 1 HR, 7 runs, .175 /.228 /.222, but hey, 3 steals and only a 13.9 K% (to go with a 5.1 BB%). .196 BABIP.

To be fair, the Angels stunk too, but they only played 3 games.

Darnell Coles took over in 2022 - Team OPS this year is .685 - 21st in MLB vs. 25th last year - 21st in 2023 and 22nd in 2022 - what a "rebuild"

Bump

[JCA-CrystalCity]

May as well add last night to the list. 4 hits, 1 walk, starter breezes through 8 IP on 88 pitches.

The average MLB team swings at about two-thirds of the pitches they see inside the zone — the Nationals (24-30) swung at 60 percent of them against Evans. The average team chases just about 28 percent of the pitches they see outside the zone — the Nationals swung at 37 percent of them. In essence, they made a lot of quick outs. And they saw just 98 pitches as a result. While these were slightly exaggerated from the Nationals’ season totals, they fit snug into a pattern. The Nationals are one of just three teams that chases balls at a bottom-ten rate (they rank 22nd) and swings at strikes at a bottom-ten rate (they rank 29th).

In the eighth, Josh Bell drew the team’s first walk since Friday.

Everytime Bell is in the lineup it is like davey waving a white flag. I wonder what the Nats record is without Bell  versus with Bell. Cut your bad decision Rizzo.

Apparently 18-27 with Bell, and 7-3 without.

The "without" is a small sample, but that's quite damning.

Thank you. Much appreciated. No one should stay up to watch the game tonite as Bell is in the lineup. You are better off getting a good nites sleep. Screw you davey

After CJ and Wood, rest of tonight's lineup has an OPS under .700.  Thank Rizzo for being unable to draft, develop or trade outside of the Soto deal.
