> [@HoustonCouillon](#): > > As ugly as the pitching and defense has been, the lack of hitting continues to be the biggest issue. Pitchers have to be perfect for this team to have a chance. I think we are past the point of “They’ll figure it out”. We’re 23 games into the season. We’re an offense that will hit around .260 with little to no power that has to manufacture runs via walks, bunts, hit & runs, etc. Pitching and defense needs to lock back in and stay locked in. Excellent points here. Hitting has to improve for us to have a chance in the postseason. ---

There was a time (prior to Deggs) when our lineup was built around power—big, physical hitters who could change the game with one swing. Lately, that identity has shifted. The current approach leans more toward speed and pressure: getting runners into scoring position with less than two outs, creating chaos on the basepaths, and forcing defensive mistakes. It’s a strategy designed around quickness and agility, which naturally influences recruiting toward smaller, faster athletes who can execute that style of play. That approach has its merits, especially when it’s executed well. Aggressive baserunning and constant pressure can rattle even the most disciplined defenses. But there’s something undeniably exciting—and effective—about timely power hitting. Moments like the three-run blasts we saw from Galloway remind us how quickly momentum can swing with one solid connection. Those plays don’t just put runs on the board; they energize the team and the crowd in a way small-ball tactics often can’t. Still, it raises an important question about balance. While singles and doubles with two outs can grind out runs, relying too heavily on that approach can feel like missed opportunities for bigger innings. The most dangerous lineups are the ones that blend both philosophies—speed that disrupts and power that capitalizes. Finding that mix again could be the key to turning consistent pressure into explosive production. ---

And that’s something I feel Deggs just doesn’t want to do. GO FIND SOME HEAVY HITTERS…. ---
