Hit 'em with the sauce(do)

[Omar]

Saucedo getting er done.

[DevoW]

Look at Saucedo

[DevoW]

Have a lot more faith in Saucedo than Hand.

[DevoW]

Yes Springer

[Inklink]

Spring that dinger

[EdwinsParrot]

there goes that man again

[Inklink]

Vladdy happy again, nice to see.

[Jays24]

No one likes a show off Springer, let your teammates wear the jacket too you selfish jerk

[connorp]

Traded for Hand so he can get some good work in 10-2 games lol

[Stangstag]

Vlads ground out was 110.1 MPH. Hardest ball by anyone in the game. Thats a positive sign

 

And now a walk. No Ks tonight is a good sign

Not sure why they wouldn’t go with new guy here.

[ShowtimeBelli]

Fk! Just realized we scored 10-runs and now we're doomed tomorrow

[Daniel Labude]

And now a walk. No Ks tonight is a good sign

 

He had some powerful swings as well. If he plays tomorrow I think his bad will be sped up facing Ohtani which may help as well

[Inklink]

Saucedo was at 11 pitches too?

[connorp]

Hopefully Ohtani has some sort of blister or sore something and can’t start. Wouldn’t be unheard of

[DevoW]

OH MY Hand has done it.

[Eat My Shatkins]

With Mayza on the IL and Borucki sucking bad enough to get sent down, they need to get Hand going. No problem with letting him work out the kinks in a 10-2 game.

[InvincibleTiger]

Time to win another series tomorrow!!

[Effit]

Remember when we couldn’t get over the 7 games above .500 hump

[thatoneguy]

[Spanky99]

Where was this velocity from Manoah in the last few starts?

 

He was using his 4 seamer(finally), he should use it more. Geez.

[Spanky99]

Fk! Just realized we scored 10-runs and now we're doomed tomorrow

 

lol...

[Spanky99]

 

Hahaha... good luck.

[Laika]

Not really. The bad version of Guerrero = hitting blistering groundballs all the time.

He's just mentioning the hard contact, he's been rolling over a lot of poorly hit balls during this slump. I see it as a positive.

Okay, but it's not a positive. He was an elite exit velocity guy last year and he was a replacement level player.

 

He will always hit the ball hard. When he is playing poorly his launch angles will be off.

 

In the second half so far his LD% is only 7.6%. It was over 21% in the first half.

 

Interestingly, his GB% is not up. Groundballs were the problem in 2020 and 2019 but so far in the second half his nemesis is lazy pop ups and flyballs.

So ironically enough at the end of the post you basically contradict your opening lol. Well done

thank you?

 

doesn't change the point

 

his exit velos are not relevant. he always hits the ball hard even when he sucks.

Yes, and rolled over soft hit balls to the left side. He's slumping, s*** happens, are you worried or something?
