And the talking heads want to kick the offense....

In truth it is the pitching being so bad and these guys being resigned to it that drives them to put the offense under such a microscope. If the pen was even average, they wouldn't be talking about too many strike outs or putting the ball in play more, or my favorite, belittling being the league leaders in homers.
