Can Smoak give Bautista some advice on how to use all fields

 

Considering Bautista was a substantially better hitter in his prime (and last season too) while having an extreme pull approach, I'd rather he not.

[Daniel Labude]

How much blame can you place on them though? Yeah depth has been a problem, but they've lost Pearce, Pompey, Alford and Ceciliani all to extensive injuries. That's all of your depth gone right there.

 

Our AAA outfield depth is pretty good. All would be an upgrade right now and Smith looked pretty good in his short stay...better fielder than what we have now

He has lost a step though. Pulling outside pitches seems to be almost impossible this year for him

Lol that must have been an interesting conversation between Goins and Smoak.

 

Goins: "Hey Justin, nice hit man, what should I be looking out for when I get up to the plate?"

Smoak: "Idk man, just sit on a pitch or something and crush it 400 feet."

Goins: "Uhh, thanks..."

[Orgfiller]

f***ing right, Kevin!

Pillar is BACK

[fatcowxlive]

Ayyyyy!!!!

[Orgfiller]

We're all over Cotton.

[EdwinsParrot]

Nice to see. He hit some hard balls last night without much luck.

Bautista has reached base safely 3 times in the month of June

Throw 3 sliders to Pillar

It's a pretty sound strategy, the problem is that you have to get them off the plate and rely on Pillar's history, if you leave them down the pipe then any hitter can do damage with it.

Liriano brought the filth today.

[G-Snarls]

Smoak again?

 

Hurrah!!

Really good to see

[Daniel Labude]

Our entire defense is a circus right now

[Jonn]

Talk about losing a step

[LGBJ29]

[gruber92]

[Jonn]

Goins f*** you. You're a glove make plays f*** bag

[Orgfiller]

Not sure if there was going to be enough time, but holy f*** boys. Terrible defense on display.

[Daniel Labude]

Goins' defense is turning into a pumpkin this season

[Bobthe4th]

I know there aren't many fans in the stadium, but the announcer and sound effects really do sound echoey and very weird. Terrible atmosphere.

The unfortunate thing is he's probably right with Travis out again.
