He must have bad eyes because he didn't see Manny at 3B giving him the big stop sign either.
Julio is a very talented ball player but he’s an unguided missile who just thinks that the miracle swing or the run through the stop sign is going to always work out for him
He’s not even hitting hard foul balls at the plate these first few games Much less putting a well hit ball into play
Sure he’s gonna catch fire a couple times throughout the season just like every ball player does and hit 350 to 400 over a span of a few weeks and look like the next coming of Tony Gwynn.
But he needs to focus on day-to-day ball games, and just being a good hitter. Every time he’s up at the plate and quit swinging for the damn fences and swing at strikes. He hast to learn pitch recognition or he’s never gonna reach anywhere near his potential in the Mariners are not gonna succeed, and Julio is gonna miss out on a hell of a lot of money of incentives that are built into his contract.
