The offense is ass. Will win AND lose a lot of 2-1, 3-2 games.

Basically, their entire gameplan is have enough of a lead that the bullpen can shut down teams to close it out.
Which is fine... but at some point, you're not going to be playing the A's and White Sox and Mets. You have to be able to actually get people on base and score runs.
To adapt a phrase Froot likes to say in regards to the Lions, sometimes you need to win games 8-7.

They don't have any truly established major thumpers in the lineup, they are relying on defense and pitching. Until it warms up these bats will be silent. We knew this going in, the key is getting to warm weather near .500. The last two years they started terribly and had decent finishes to get close to .500.

This team's batting coaches and minor league bat development has been atrocious for about three decades, and it doesn't look like that has changed in the slightest.
