Yeah but the offense was good last year. Finished tied for 7th in wRC+ and that was with several key guys having down years.
People just think it was bad because we had some luck/clutch issues that are unlikely to repeat (and in fact improved toward the end of the year) and people weren’t baking in the new park factors into their perceptions of what the offense should be.
If Vlad, Kirk, Varsho and Springer rebound like they are projected to the offense should be pretty good.
