The A's own Darvish. What else is new? Don't start him against them.

Odor will continue to a good player rather than a great player until he learns to have more patient at bats.

Odor needs to see some pine for a game or two. Has got to learn how to have professional at bats.

So sitting makes you more professional. Fail

No. But sitting as an act of discipline for not taking better approaches at the plate might wise him up and make him have more quality "professional" at bats.

Heard the rooster on the fan today ...bascik asked him about Odor not taking pitches. Odor has only 9 walks this year . Banny's answer was" he's young and still learning " .
He'll be OK

That's the problem, he'll continue to be simply an ok player until he learns, that's the point being made

Rangers' Fielder has fusion surgery on neck

It was C5-C6 that was fused. As is often the case, fusion has beget more fusions. He needs to realize he's going to wind up with his whole neck fused if he doesn't give it up. Each level above and below the fusions will break down because he had to get the motion from somewhere.
Fielder has young sons. If he wants to be a 40 something and able to toss catch and hit balls to them he needs to think this through.

He will too but not on the pine. Study film, Hitting instructions ,time in cage, and desire will do wonders.

I feel bad for him , really do . He's a great guy in the club house , but this is probably a blessing , insurance will pay 50% of his salary .

You honestly think those things haven't been tried so far? I guarantee you that multiple people have talked to him about taking more pitches and spent time with him in the cage.

I like that DDJ takes pitches and usually has good ABs, but he ALWAYS takes the first pitch, basically the pitcher just has to throw a lollipop right down the middle and DDJ always starts behind and has to battle back to work a walk
