Rojas, Sierra, Gosselin, and Stefanic

[Angel Oracle]

Are a combined 23-156, which = .147.

That is also like the most Halos thing, four current part-time players hitting pretty much nothing.

Add in Walsh’s .136 BA since July 1, and for those 5 players it’s either bad scouting or bad coaching or lack of talent.

That would be Good Scouting if you are the Opponent? Right? As you know the Halo's wouldn't make adjustments within the game or each at bat... 

Which then that would account for Bad Coaching as in game adjustments and in at bat adjustments aren't being made....

It's not a lack of talent, as Walsh, Stefanic have shown some ability to hit. 

Sierra/Rojas the jury is still out. 

Gosselin is what would be considered a 4-AAAA player limited ability without a permanent home defensively but can play numerous within an emergency but excels at none.

I do not handle the sorting by data as well as others.  However it seemed liked the first two months Ward, Marsh, Walsh and Trout were all raking.  Then Trout goes into his worst slump striking out too much and the other three seems they can't make contact with the ball.

This can't be a coincidence were all four face similar problems.  I can only think it's advance scouting putting too much in their heads or bad coaching.

Not new, but getting progressively worse 

If not for Ohtani, Rengifo, and Ward, the offense would need to be on a milk carton.

I wouldn't be looking for anyone to blame. Rojas and Gosselin are AAA depth fodder. They're not even back up options in the major leagues. They're the back up options to the back up options, used if there aren't any upside prospects ready.

That does get back to option #4.

Well, they did have depth. Just the exact wrong kind. Andrew Velazquez and Tyler Wade aren't major leaguers, but when they were playing, and Rendon was healthy, it meant Rengifo was in AAA. 

Their biggest mistake right now is not having Stefanic up and playing 3B everyday.

Not fair to lump Stefanic in there.

Also...  this was said about Ward a year ago.   He's disappointed lately after the quick start but he's a solid regular at least.  

Maybe.  I thought Walsh was, too.

Humans playing sports.  Humans evaluating humans playing sports.  Whatever.
