Small team sample size: Can anyone just write anything they want because they have a “title”?

The correct quote should be:
Maybe it’s due to maturity. Maybe it’s because they’re being more patient at the plate. But whatever the reason, the D-backs have had, with 13% of the season played, one of the most powerful lineups in all of baseball. But, as we all know, almost anything can happen in 20 games or so. If we look at the career stats for all of their players, we can easily see that they have been hitting over their heads, and will likely have one of the least powerful lineups in all of baseball, for the remainder of the season, although even that will likely be disguised by the fact that they play half their games in the one of the best hitter’s park in the NL.
I have not read the article itself. Irresponsible me.
