They rolled 3 left handers so AJ wouldn't use Kerry Carpenter. We can't watch Baez for 3 more seasons can we? He is so washed.

At least Goff has produced, and when he doesn't, Brad Holmes already has a Plan B and C available down the line.
I like the starting pitching and the bullpen somewhat, but the hitting is gosh awful."I hope to see the Lions in the Super Bowl before I die"

They raked last night in the desert heat. 13-0. Of course they do it for the pitcher who least needs in in Skubal. He had a perfect game going into the 5th but once they got a hit off him he went one more inning to turn it over to the pen.
Of note Colt Keith went 4 for 5.
I continue to be impressed by Perez at the plate, he rarely has a bad AB. He wasn't thought to be much of a prospect. But he has a little pop, switch hits and is a great base runner. There isn't a big league book out on him, so you don't get too excited but he has hit at every level

It has all the hallmarks of a team that has no fucking idea what they're doing at the plate. Sometimes, they'll get a string of (lucky) contact, but for the most part they're listless and lost offensively.
Sometimes, it looks like they might as well be going up there blindfolded and swinging at random.

Some of that is true especially with Baez. but nobody said this was going to be a good offense. They are 20th in runs per game and they have a lot of young hitters. You hope guys like Keith adjust to major league pitching, because he does have a decent approach at the plate. If he has a .477 OPS for the whole year they are fucked. When you are 20th in runs per game it means a fair amount of teams are worse offensively. They were near the bottom of the league the last two years. And in the last two years the offense perked up in the second half of the season. Most people missed it because they checked out after the first two months.
The formula for this year was going to be relying on the pitching while they see what they have with the young guys. So far the pitching has more than held up their bargain, while the young guys have for the most part have been well below replacement level.
