On Charlie's choices, impotent offence, which players need a call-up, which players need to go, Berríos, Manoah, Chapman, Pearson, Buehrle, Jordan Hicks, and more.
I'm hoping to catch the podcast today, but I'm struggling to think of a question to ask. I just have no words when it comes to the offence. Like you, it's hard to think of a solution and the internal 'fix' options as you point out are no guarantees.
Right now we're a .500 team after a pretty tough schedule overall. That's not disastrous, but this season feels worse than others. The offence is just so putrid! I'm trying to think of the last time I remember our offence being so inept...the first half of 1980 comes to mind (dating myself).
It's also a shame because we are not taking advantage of the excellent starting pitching we're getting (for the most part).

ZiPS projects Matt Chapman for a RoS wRC+ of 127(!)
Until Matt Champan's wRC+ exceeds 100 I will be responding to these posts only with Sublime lyrics which, unfortunately, I know a lot of.
