Definitely this... For the most part, our #3 and #4 hitters in the lineup contributed 16 and 15 extra base hits, respectively, this year... a really WTF season-long cluster17, especially when you had Yeager, Hines, Kellum and Cumbest doubling those totals.

Luke - 9 doubles, 7 HR
Logan - 8 doubles, 7 HR

Yeager - 15-2Bs, 1-3B, 18 HR (34 extra base hits)
Hines - 13-2Bs 1-3B, 16 HR (30 xbh)
Kellum - 12-2B, 1-3B, 14 HR (27 xbh)
Cumbest - 12-2B, 15 HR (27 xbh)

I know you're wanting your OBA guys on ahead of the power bats, but our 3- & 4-hole hitters were 4th & 5th on the team in RBI... definitely makes the case that Lemonis ran with the wrong lineup all season. But again, our MAJOR problem this year was pitching so I'm probably splitting hairs with my argument on the batting lineup.
