Some odd stat crunching...

While listening to the Cubs bumble their way towards a sweep at the hands of the hapless Marlins, I decided to look at some odd batting stats. These are current up through 45 games and are compared to all 30 MLB teams. (pardon the odd formatting)

GIDP= 47 T-28th (Pit & Tx 30th, 48)
Groundball/Flyball ratio= 1.54 30th (29th Min 1.40)
AB/HR= 44.9 29th (30th KC, 46.0)
XBH= 104 30th (29th Min, 114)
BB= 113 28th (30th KC, 109)
BA= .242 29th (30th TB, .237)
OBP= .299 30th (29th TB, .302)
SLG= .365 30th (29th SD, .376)
RC= 156.1 30th (29th KC, 165.6) (runs created)
RC27 (this is ugly)= 3.47 30th (29th TB, 3.93) (runs created per 27 outs)

I got all of these stats from ESPN.com, which is kinda ironic since I'm usually ripping on the "worldwide leader". The one stat I didn't see, but would be interested in seeing is Team LOB. Plus, with the way they're playing today, I'm sure the stats will be worse.

what struck me...
was the distance between last place and second to last place in some cases. They create nearly a half run less per 27 outs than the next worst team. WTF??

This is
a clear indictment of the hitting instructors, whether it's Dusty, Gene or Gary.  The philosophy needs to change.  Von Joshua anyone?
