I said this in the offseason and kind of got laughed at by some, but this team ignored the offense too much to be successful. The Valazquez’ and Wade’s of the world can’t be in the lineup as starters if you want to win. Run prevention matters but so does run creation, and we absolutely have sucked at that.
Time to swing a trade for a SS and real left fielder. Backup catcher is a must too. Trout/Ohtani/Rendon/Stassi/ward are the only guys on the roster right now that should be seen as everyday guys next season ImO. Everyone else needs to be re-evaluated. Guys like Rengifo and Fletcher are useful in the proper role. I don’t know about Adell and Walsh at this point
i don’t feel like the pitching is far off at all. They’ve got some real talent there for the first time in a long long time. It’s just a shame they have a bunch of hacks at the plate now
