Cubs have 7 starters hitting .235 or less. Hard to get hits with RISP when you don't hit the ball hard very often.
But, funny thing is, with their .238 team average, the Cubs are 11th in mlb in team batting average; 18th in HR; 10th in OPS; 9th in OBP; and 12th in runs. Granted, seems half of the composite offense came in the Pirates and Braves games. Hard to believe the daily futility on offense is a top-half offense....
