Right.

I mean, it's just not a good offense right now.

It has not been a good offense to this point in the season in really the significant measures that you're going to look to.

And so, you know, it's it's not a disastrous offense.

But again, like you need to make up you need to be better than average at something.

If you're going to if you're going to make the playoffs, you need to you need to make your mark somewhere.

And again,

It hasn't been the rotation because there are tons of injuries going on there that we can get into.

So you'd love it to be the offense.

And for the season, they have been below average.

The power hasn't really been there.

Aside from Okamoto, they haven't had players who are just creating that separation.

creating that breathing room with enough consistency and so this is this is where they are and i i think springer's going to be better i think kirk is going to be better obviously once he comes back we're seeing some flashes from from others i think vlad jr is going to be better i believe in these guys individually but and i believe that they're going to be better as a collective

But it's just at this moment in time, they have cost themselves.

And, you know, to be 16 and 21, to be swept by the Rays, like it's the time is ticking and the job is a big one to come back from being five games under 500.

It is surmountable, but it's a big job.

Like as far as how they've been producing?

Yeah, I think Pignango and Straw as far as what's actually been happening.

I think those guys on a nightly basis for the last week, they've been the ones who have been doing the most.

Right.
