Their RISP average is completely unsustainable, as are Yadi's and Craig's averages given their BABIP and lack of power.
Freese is just not a good hitter anymore. For that matter, neither is Holliday. He can't hit anything over 90 MPH.
It's too easy to pitch to them, it's not a particularly good defensive team, and it has no speed. This team is going nowhere.
