I think we rely on too much overachieving, instead of having better talent than the other top teams in the nation. The problem with overachieving is that you can run out of gas at the most inopportune times in a long season.
I don't see the offense getting substantially better throughout the year. I'm also ready for a change at hitting coach, and I say that based on a number of years of seeing Thompson as our hitting coach.

I posted this on another board, but reposting here since it’s relevant to this convo:
Unfortunately, I think this is likely who we are at the plate outside of someone doing a complete midseason 180 like Cali did last year.
McLaughlin, Stovall, Diggs, and Sandlot are our reliable hitters.
Aloy is Slavens 2.0 — a 3 outcome hitter who can hit the ball over the fence but is going to strike out on a lot of offspeed pitches, especially low and away (which was Slavens' achilles heel).
The outfielders (save for Diggs) are going to be crapshoots at the plate. Wilmsmeyer looks to be the weak link in this lineup.
White is the best hitting catcher but that's not saying a ton. I'm not sure he needs to DH on days where he's not catching. IMO that should be Holt or Souza depending on who’s in the field.
We're going to have to manufacture runs with free base runners, clutch hits, and capitalizing on errors and mistakes.
