Early 90s and mid 2010s is basically it. I think it's the specialized bullpens and shifts that neutralize offenses now.

Ibwas surprised to see how bad years the core position players on Oakland were having in terms of batting average (Olson, Laureano, Chapman, Davis, Semien). Besides Hendricks being really good pitching, how insane has Jake Diekman been? The guy is just like, "nope youre not going home"Collecting Cutchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18066493614914957891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835850805517703121.post-36054496361923001842020-09-08T03:13:32.689-04:002020-09-08T03:13:32.689-04:00When I started following baseball, the Pirates wer...When I started following baseball, the Pirates were good, I even watched them win a World Series. It's sad to see what they've become for so many years. It's also sad to see so many teams struggling in the hitting department. I'm not sure if the quality of pitching (and the sheer variety of pitching) is the main reason that teams can't hit like they once could or if it's the constant swing-for-the-fences mentality. I just know that I miss base hits and stolen bases and stuff like that.night owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673973790245316059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835850805517703121.post-13079455914320809642020-09-07T22:37:46.899-04:002020-09-07T22:37:46.899-04:00Can't think of one Oakland Athletic that I am ...Can't think of one Oakland Athletic that I am 100% sure is hitting their weight. It's kinda sad. That being said... I'm pretty sure Liam Hendriks has an ERA below his weight... which is kind of impressive.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835850805517703121.post-38072093035861743722020-09-07T16:54:07.230-04:002020-09-07T16:54:07.230-04:00The Yanks fall into this category too.
