So you don't think that those numbers are statistically proven to lead to more runs?

When you don’t have people that can get on base between the few that can hit HRs, then they will lead to more losses than not when facing decent pitching. YOU HAVE TO HAVE BASE RUNNERS TO DRIVE THEM IN.

You won't be in a thread without talking about wanting to bunt.

What about steals and walks and just getting on base? You left that out.

This team lacks fundamentals and once again decent pitching (not great) beats that arse because they cannot hit the ball for shite or draw walks.
But go no further than the ninth inning today.
Lead off runner on and he has ZERO confidence in bunting the runner over because his team sucks arse at it.
