Option #2 is the key. Can the offense be 15th instead of 23rd in runs scored? Can they average 4-5 runs per game instead of 3? The problem is that this group hasn’t been able to do that since mid-August of last season.
Lot of “ifs” for the offense.
If Buck, Correa, Wallner stay healthy. If Lewis figures things out. If Larnach, Lee, Jeffers, Castro can produce at an average to above average level. If 🇫🇷, Bader, Clemens continue hitting as they have so far.
I like this team - we will sink or swim with our hitters.
