This team is not magical

Feels like this has been the case forever. 

"Well, Trout didnt hit a grand slam, hope the pitching holds up for his next at bat in 3 innings".

Foe this team to succeed (here comes brilliant strategy), the back half of the order needs to hit. Period. 

Not all star level. Merely just contribute every 3rd game or so to a win. 

All they really have to do is make less outs so Trout/Ohtani/Rendon can get up sooner.

I mean, Marsh is fine.  Not sure why he's getting hate.  2 for 7 in two games with 2 walks and some good ABs. 

Trout and Marsh need to be the two stalwarts in the OF in my opinion.  If Maddon doesn't have faith in Adell just send him to AAA and at least get him some reps.  

But yeah, this offense is pretty concerning, especially if our core guys are going to be getting a lot of rest days.  Looking at the quality of ABs and plate discipline from Houston versus our scrubs is night and day.  Fletcher is a utility/bench guy at this point, and everyone outside of Ohtani/Trout/Walsh/Rendon are just plugs.

Fletcher has completely changed his swing since he came up! He used to load and everything now he is a FRONT FOOT SLAPPER... Which leads directly to Analytics and "Putting the Ball in Play" and hope for the best **CONTACT RATE**. Even though he scorched that one to RF late yesterday. He is still out front just trying to put it in Play and the DEFENSES are PLAYING him ACCORDINGLY. Tucker was playing a Rover Spot yesterday in shallow Right on that line drive down the line. 

Oh, And yes, I'm also over the OVERSHIFTING of our DEFENSE once again! Whoever moves them around needs a Breathalyzer test! Or, maybe, ask the Pitching Coach what they are throwing to that hitter... Happened when Bradley was out there before he got chased to the showers. If the 2nd Baseman is playing normal they get that in the hole...

They OVER THINK and OVER ANALIZE EVERYTHING!!   Keep It Simple Stupid.

Is there a joke I'm missing with your inclusion of Adell? 

Did I really write that, or did someone change it? I did not mean Adell, I meant Rendon. Probably a brain fart on my part.
