We knew pitching would suck this year but not seeing any hitters take giant leaps forward is super crushing.

Bob is hitting in bad luck
Pratto has stepped up. Which is good to see. I think Vinny's been hurt longer than he has let on with him going on the DL today it makes sense. MJ has been a disappointment for sure. Massey is meh. He makes it, we scored if not no lose. Garcia is a rookie.
I still think some of the bats will come around. Hell they are all 23 and 24. It's not like Gordon, Moose, Salvy, Hosmer and all of them just came out of the gate as bad asses at that age either. And the team's timeline of 2025 seems reasonable just knowing the average age of hitting your prime is 26.
