The "gappers" aren't really finding success in the Safe this year, for whatever reason. Smoak didn't get his first Safeco double for months, Ackley had like a two-month gap without one, Montero's are all singles because he can't run... Not like the opposition's doing that much better. The 2012 Safeco effect isn't so much suppressing all balls in play (which it does a little) as suppressing all forms of XBH, especially doubles and triples. It's gotten a little better lately, but earlier in the season it felt like we could go entire series and neither team would hit one double or triple.
