They're 2nd in the league in pitching, but 2nd to last in the league in scoring and they really shouldn't be IMHO.

Any suggestions??? Am I missing something??? Lineup ideas???

Coach,

Low OBP would be my guess. Exacerbated by Meusel's slow start, but he'll come around.
Where are you batting Cobb? While I prefer him 3rd, he may have to lead off here. Schoendeinst, Fernandez & Sanguillen (if he cools down) are going to cut down your on base chances at the bottom of that order, for sure.
Try throwing the dice left-handed.

Randy,

I started the year with Cobb batting 3rd (Steiny 1st & Meusel 2nd). Moved him to leadoff after the first 12 games or so. I've juggled the lineup twice already and am just mystified by the lack of scoring outta this offense.

Lineup suggestions are welcomed and encouraged .......... :idea:

Here are your lineup numbers, a bit low vs RHs for this type of team IMHO, but that does not explain the low team OBP.

OBP vs RH 0.407
SLG vs RH 0.481
OPS vs RH 0.888
HR Rate vs RH 1.4
BPHR vs RH 15
OBP vs LH 0.425
SLG vs LH 0.498
OPS vs LH 0.923
HR Rate vs LH 1.3
BPHR vs LH 15


You are in the Stick, but you play in a couple of hitter friendly parks.

My guess is they will come around. Suggest:

Cobb
Steiny
Meusel
Snider
Ludes/Manny
Manny/Ludes
Red
Fernandez

Well, that's one I have not tried, so I may as well give it a shot. I'll keep you posted.
