How about DeJesus - our leadoff hitter, batting .258, and hitless today.
How about Pickering, who Ken Harvey cannot nearly be so brutal as. Pickering is .200 on the season with a home run and 5 K's in 14 AB's.
Berroa has to put the ball in play in the 9th and at least give them a chance to make a mistake. It would have been better to try to bunt for a base hit than to chalk up the game-ending whiff.
Last of all, Buck is hitting .136 . I'm not sure that a you couldn't hit .136 by simply holding the bat out over the plate.
All these years people have been bitching about the pitching coach, well, where the hell is the hitting coach. Can we at least get a hit every other inning?

There is no offensive identity to this team - None. I've been saying this since we broke for Spring training. So, the fact that we suck at the plate is of no surprise. What's surprising was the lack of offseason movement to get a fn identity for this team. THAT FRUSTRATES THE FOCK OUTTA ME!
