When a .666 OPS is considered an wRC+ of 100 the stat loses all credibility....

They are hitting .219 with a sub .300 OBP for a .654 OPS and that is the 12th best offense in baseball???? Really??? Sorry but the emperor has no clothes. I don't care if T Mobile is the size of a 9 Hole golf course located at the bottom of Puget Sound, that is totally nonsensical.

Rudimentary stabs at statistical analysis are adorable.

Thinking the M's have an above average offense is comical.

M's have scored the 4th fewest runs on the road in baseball. I guess that is T Mobile's fault too and is why their wRC+ is so high.

The M's offense had virtually the same wRC+ as they had ERA+ last year.

You really think they believe the offense and pitching were more or less equal?

Get out of here with that nonsense. Servais isn't spending every presser protecting his pitching staff and talking about how they can improve. That should fill you in.

I generally buy into advanced stats but at some point you have to employ common sense as well vs a number that clearly doesn't paint an accurate picture.
