The phrase "brings no-hit stuff every outing" is a good thing when referring to a pitcher, like a Matt Cain or a Tim Lincecum. When it can be used to adequately describe a team's offense, mayhem ensues. But this is our 2013 San Francisco Giants. You thought I was going to say "bringing boring back to baseball" didn't you. See I mixed in a curve ball.
from Yahoo Sports:
Rockies' Chacin toys with no-hitter, beats Giants - Yahoo! Sports:
"I knew he had a no-hitter going," said shortstop Crawford, whose missed catch was costly in the Rockies' four-run sixth. "It's just nice to get a hit, put something on the scoreboard."'via Blog this'
Brandon Crawford seems to believe that registering a "hit" is bringing something tangible to the scoreboard. Maybe that's part of the problem, we're setting our expectations a bit too low. The objective for the offense, Mr. Crawford, is to score runs. By doing that more times than ones opponent, you win games.
This is a baseball, fellas. And this is a baseball bat. Let's get back to basics here.
