OPS is a legit stat but a well rounded team is also legit. I don’t mind a table setter leading off. High OPS guys memes to make contact when needed too

We definitely need a well rounded team. The idea that the offense is set is just wrong though, and I have read that some fans actually think that.

To me, it is hard to decide if our prospect starting pitchers or our prospect hitters are closer to fulfilling our needs in those respective areas.

I read fans on Twitter seeming to think we only need pitching.

I've pinpointed the problem and bolded it for you.

i don't think anyone including me believes this offense is set but going into 2023 i think the starting 9 are as close to set as it could be but beyond that only 3 or 4 are set. now as far as bench players i think we should go with internal sources. thus, bringing in any FA should not be considered.
as far as pitching is concerned for 2023 there is virtually nothing set. Gray and Perez as starters and Burke, Hearn and maybe Hernandez as relievers and the rest is open to FA's and trades for the most part

on the bolded part, neither is ready for 2023 but in 2024 or 2025 who knows

Ragans was already at his limit, so that's probably just for the roster spot, right?

Ragans might be the only one of those four pitchers left on the 40 man roster at the end of next month. Not sure what they will do with Yerry.

Not sure about his limit, but he wasn't scheduled to start again any way.

think it is a sure thing that Ragans will still be with us the others released or traded

Thought I remembered him having a hard cap on innings and he got there.

I think his stint in the DL took care of that.

If he had 50 innings left under a cap he still wouldn't pitch any more though.

hell yeah, Calhoun!

No Taveraa Seems like 2 days in a row.

I don’t think our OF is set next season

Judge seems like he's pressing as well.

Yea, we can watch him go 0 for 4 with 3 strikeouts. He sucks.

 

[Duane1952]

even if they do we will still struggle with their pitching especially if we send Calhoun and/or Culberson out there

Probably not going to win tonight, Calhoun is playing.

The Rangers contingent is off to a really good start.

Acuna is 2 for 2 with a single and a double. Zavala is 0 for 1 with a walk and Hauver is 1 for 1 with a walk.
