Know how to tell your offense is in dire need of an upgrade?

You start a guy in LF without the platoon advantage who was deemed too poor offensively to play everyday at SS.

Not to mention, the guy being counted on to give the offense a spark is still hitting behind Swanson and Heredia.
 
The solution to the gaping hole in the OF is batting right now. He’s been the solution from opening day.
 
Swanson and Heredia are fine when providing defense at premium positions while batting 7-9. It’s not fine when they are batting 5-6.

If AA can get a bat for the OF and TDA comes back to provide his projected numbers, this offense will be just fine.
 
Dude walked down the line like it was a no doubter, then it went into the first row.

We were about 5’ away from another argument about Acuna’s hustle.
 
We are about to see a situation where Morton is due up 2nd in the 5th in a 1 run game. He should be right around 80 pitches, and hopefully less than 80. The Marlins have RHHs in the top 5 slots of the order.

It’s probably the correct move to punt the PA in the 5th to allow Morton to face those RHHs a 3rd time as long as he completes the 5th in a reasonable number of pitches.
 
He gave up some hard hit outs against that part of the order. Doesn’t matter whether we leave him in or not; we are not winning the game if we can’t score more than two runs.
