Article on Lind's new batting approach

[Abomination]

Didn't see this posted anywhere, and it's an interesting read. Maybe if we're lucky JPA will read it too...

He's looked like a completely different player. He honestly looks like a Joey Votto (that can't hit lefties).

Wow, he's had only 5 PAs against a lefty this year. Impressive by Gibbons.

Gibby is awesome at stuff like this.

Yeah, don't get that. He platoons Lind since he can't hit lefties but JP bats 4th even though he can't hit anything. Head scratcher.

Platoons Lind - Good

JPA 4th - Bad

Bautista 2nd - Good

Manages to the save rule to an extent w/ Janssen - Bad

Bullpen management in general abiding by gmLI- Good

 

Gibby's been a bit of a mixed bag but I like what he's done so far.

I really can't understand the blinders this organization has for him. It makes no sense whatsoever. As terrible as it sounds, I'm pretty much hoping for a lingering injury at this point. Nothing to the face though. Don't want to mess up this kid's livelihood.

Lind for the 4 spot just makes so much sense now

 

Do it Gibby

Lind needs to be in the 4 hole and he needs to play against lefties...the article said lindy has swung at something like 10 pitches outside the strikezone...that's insane. He's clearly got a much better approach at the plate and should be given an extended run against some lefties, He's clearly got a different approach and is a different hitter than he was in the past so his past stats against lefties have lesser relevance. His OPS is above .900 now...how do you sit that as often as gibby does?
