On Baez:
He doesn't have a bad swing or is just getting unlucky. He's completely approaching his at bat incorrectly with those outside sliders. It's just lazy and arrogant.
The Coaches need to tell him: "I'd rather you strike out ten times in a row on the outside corner than see you swing at a pitch out there in the next ten days. If you can't get behind that, then you won't be seeing yourself in the starting lineup regularly."
It's that simple. This isn't an injury, or a slump, or bad luck. He's choosing to go against the team culture and his coaches' instructions, and further, we know from the recent past that he CAN do it right if he wants to.
