Cold weather, bad approach, just missing, bad luck, credit the opposing pitcher, not grinding... Do other teams go thru this year after year, or just us?

Or, possibly, have we overrated our own players' ability to hit, especially in the clutch? Cleveland leads the league in excuses for not hitting, doesn’t it?
