I have to agree with you guys that the offense is confounding. I believe it
really frustrates Santo as well. Its sad to see..Last year's line drives are
this year's outs. I thought I saw a light at the end of the tunnel for Soto and
Bradley as their batting averages raised in May and June, but thus far in July
aren't looking so good. Kosuke has started hitting again, but the enigma thus
far has been Soriano (as except for April he's not posted a OBP higher than .274
any other month), and I hope the two days off for Soriano and Soto with Von
Joshua can get them going. We're a shave past the halfway point and somehow this
anemic offense has gotten us to .500, and I believe part of that is our strong
pitching...others might be Cubbie luck if there might be a thing.
