[Duane1952]

Nice first inning.

 

[Bmurph]

That looked like it was gonna get out

 

[donaldson79]

He has more HRs than singles on the year as well

Isn't this something? Honestly?

 

[donaldson79]

Well executed Dlino

This guy is being the poster boy for "the ebb and flow" of the game......2 years ago, terrific....Last year, sucked....this year pretty darn terrific.

As someone said about him earlier, "he'll make a terrific part time, key sub for a team on the cusp". Something like this anyway.

8 pitch inning, so much for making him work

Evan needs to shut up,

Actually that article was actually pretty spot on in a lot of regards, I don't like Joe West but his observations about the game are pretty good,

I totally agree about the choking up and altering swings thing, Gallo and Odor could still murder baseballs pretty good if they choked up a little with 2 strikes and they would make a lot more contact and his average would probably improve

Basically all of this below
Game-changers
“The base running has gotten worse, and outfielders hitting the cutoff man is even worse. And no one changes their swing anymore. They’re all trying to hit home runs. They think, ‘If I’m a 30-home run hitter, I’m a millionaire. If I hit .270 and make contact, I’ll never be paid.

“It’s like watching the US Open now. If you keep swinging from your heels all the time, it’s tough to keep the ball in play. Babe Ruth struck out a lot too, but he hit .342.

“You just don’t see anyone try to hit the ball the other way. And nobody chokes up. Barry Bonds used to choke up on the first pitch, not just when it’s 0-and-2. The only one I see choking up now is the kid from Chicago, (Anthony) Rizzo, and he only does it when he has two strikes.’’

Honestly.....Pretty sage advice/vision toward the game, yet some cold, yet firm, realization of ML ball which is being lost in the great game.

And I totally despised his ass before this. Ain't in love with him now. But swear, this is one of few good things I know about him.

Pitch count is getting up there for Nick after that AB
