[Hiles] Shelton on what needs to change for his team at the plate: “I think we gotta be more aggressive. We’re taking too many balls in the zone for strikes … We don’t have to get the perfect pitch. … We gotta get back to what we were doing earlier in the year.”

yeah no shit derek
Happy to hear he’s aware of it.
It’s early enough in the season that anything that happens in April can be entirely meaningless in September. I think here on r/buccos we are hyperfixated on early performances because last season that’s all we had, everyone is expecting a May collapse rather than this team just playing .500 ball all year long. Adjustments can be made and this team can find a rhythm, no one should expect a 90 win season. This team still doesn’t have a guy like Soto or Ohtani to carry the lineup. It’s going to take all nine batters to get it done.
