It's also about the timing. eg. Bases loaded and less than two outs. For the payroll and firepower that the lineup has, it should be higher than .363. Home runs are great, but I've seen too many opportunities squandered this season when the batter is swinging for the fence with runners on base resulting in a K/infield pop fly or hitting into the inning ending DP.
(48-30) Nice job by Hughes to keep it close going 8 frames and as many strikeouts. Heading to Tampa. 6 games up on Baltimore.
