The first 12 games of 2012 were worse...

[GAC]

So do these numbers make up for and/or supersede the numbers that T. Gack posted in the other thread?

IMO, yes. TG's stats are not irrelevant, but what nate and Raisor are showing are not small windows, isolated situations (Ks w/RISP), but TOTALS that would include all, including TG's numbers.

So regardless of the fact the Reds aren't batting for average to well with RISP, are K'ing, they still are....

- 5th in the league in runs scored with RISP, 6 runs behind the Cardinals (nate)

- are averaging over 5 runs a game (Raisor)

I have a love/hate relationship with the month of April. I love it obviously because it's the start of baseball. I hate it, in a sense, because of the erratic weather and other variables... players trying to get comfortable, find their groove... and that it doesn't, IMO, present the true nature (identity) of a team as a whole. I just think it's too small of a "window" to be too critical or over analytical RIGHT NOW.
