What Do You Do With a Problem Like Miranda?

The fact that, not hitting at an average above .250 is acceptable is a poor perception of hitting. Lowering standards so I fit in with todays game isn't something I am going to do. Having a lineup of guys that can hit .220 along with 15-20 HR's and will probably set a record for strikeouts is not a winning formula for an offense. My perception is fine. You've just decided to jump on the bandwagon and consider it is how things have to be. 

It's how things are.....wanting them to be different doesn't make them different.

Nobody is claiming this offense is good. Or that hitting .220 with 15-20 HRs is good. It's not. Things don't "have to be" any certain way. But we've advanced. We've gained more knowledge. You're not wiser by refusing to accept new information and knowledge. Nobody has lowered standards, they've changed to a more encompassing set of standards that takes in more important information than your basic hits vs outs equation. You don't have to like it, but it's not impressive, or some badge of honor, to refuse to accept new, and better, information.
