Sports Illustrated Looks At Numbers Behind The Pirates' Offense

5

Jay Jaffe does his usual good work, taking an analytical look at the Pirates' offensive production. It is still shocking to be reminded how bad things were offensively in April/May (look at those BA & OBP numbers sans Cutch) and how good they have been since then. Jaffe breaks out the numbers at the corner OF positions since Starling Marte was called up on July 26 and, of course, gives the requisite nod to Andrew McCutchen's MVP candidacy.
