Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 1857229, member: 289"] When nobody is hitting, nobody hits. When everybody is hitting, everybody hits. You've heard it all your life: "Offense sells tickets but Defense wins championships." Well, offense is a very large bucket of whitewash that can be used to cover over a lot of problems. When you are scoring 6 runs a game, (as they have in their last 15 games), you can still win games with tired arms, fielding errors, base-running mistakes, lost opportunities, etc. When you average 3 runs a game, (as they did in the previous 29) , everything matters. It's the same thing in football. If you are scoring like a Scott Shafer team, everything matters. If you are scoring like a Dino Babers team, you can overcome some things and make them irrelevant.
