"Guardians' Lineup Woes: Can They Find Solutions?"

The Cleveland Guardians have the worst hitting stats in MLB, but there are ways to turn things around. The team should be more aggressive in swinging in counts where strikes are likely, send Oscar Gonzalez to Triple-A, give Amed Rosario an IL stint for his back, get more offense from the 13th position player, mix up the batting order, tell Andrés Giménez to stop attempting sacrifice bunts and stop diving into first, begin shopping for a real upgrade in right field/designated hitter, and remind Guardians hitters that hitting a baseball is fun.
