  1. These paint a more accurate picture imo. 43% of pitches down and away this year vs 37% last year. 58% of pitches down this year vs 54% of pitches down last year. 23% of pitches up this year vs 29% last year
  2. Theoretically lol. Could take a month or a week or so...or not until the offseason to get dialed back in. #1 though he needs to get back to the approach from last season. Attack fastballs and take walks while punishing mistakes. At this stage of the season thats a tough adjustment to make
  3. Closer to the plate than last season- was to focus on more outside pitches but keeps getting jammed inside Closed start with his lead foot compared to last season. Kind of a cross body swing vs an open one Closed step compared to last season. Same issues above Bat angle dipping before the swing vs vertical last season leading to decreased launch angle, especially on lower pitches Load elongated (too early and extended) compared to last season causing him to be late and off balanced In the last week he has opened his stance, stepped off the plate, adjusted the bat angle before the swing and attempting to be more smooth and quick with the toe tap. Nothing wrong with the swing, but little things innthe set up causing some issues, along with patience needed to get a good pitch
  4. Correct...35 less walks than last season is a big part
  5. Definitely. In reality its probably some combo of being pitched tougher and differently, trying too much, being tough on himself, swing adjustments, approach, and confidence
  6. Vlad's season high is Judge's season low of pitches in the strike zone with a 10-20% gap much of the season. So over any given stretch Judge was routinely getting significantly more pitches in the zone. Part is Vlad trying to do to much, but they are being pitched differently and ultimately tougher on Vlad
  7. How he is pitched in those situations have changed to the most extreme in baseball....minimal strikes basically or perfect pitchers pitches all low or away, meanwhile Judge will get a grooved in cookie over and over lmao. Everyone looks at results and never considers how insane Vlad is being pitched vs last season, yeah he needs to walk more to change it, but the hitters behind him fail at an asinine rate. Being 23 and a top hitter he tries to do it himself more than he should. Will take experience and adjustments...and a team succeeding behind him. Too many people want everything now now now lol
  8. Amazing game from Manoah given the circumstances. Offense came around finally, sparked by Vlad. Hopefully we keep it going vs 2 top pitchers
  9. Id thought they would move White up to Game 1
  10. September 13th. Game #1 Vladdy - 1 Point - Springer - 1 Point - Bichette - 1 Point - LTBF Hernández - 2 Points - Kirk - 2 Points - Chapman - 2 Points - Jansen - 3 Points - Biggio - 4 Points - Gurriel Jr - 5 Points - Bradley - 5 Points - Merrifield - 6 Points - JaysAllMighty Collins - 6 Points - Espinal - 6 Points - Moreno - 8 Points - Tapia - 8 Points - Zimmer - 9 Points - Off the bench: 10 Points- Game #2 Vladdy - 1 Point - Springer - 1 Point - Bichette - 1 Point - Hernández - 2 Points - JaysAllMighty Kirk - 2 Points - Chapman - 2 Points - Jansen - 3 Points - Biggio - 4 Points - Gurriel Jr - 5 Points - Bradley - 5 Points - Merrifield - 6 Points - Collins - 6 Points - Espinal - 6 Points - Moreno - 8 Points - LTBF Tapia - 8 Points - Zimmer - 9 Points - Off the bench: 10 Points-
  11. I'll assume if Manoah can't go game 2, Stripling will go 3-5 innings
  12. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth
  13. There's no certainty - only opportunity. And thus I clothe my naked villainy With old odd ends stolen forth from holy writ And seem a saint when most I play the devil.
  14. I will say, do you believe I care what you think specifically? Or for that matter what anyone thinks? Do you believe this is how I am away from here? There is a large contengient of group think s*** posting going on all year based on over inflated expectations that perpetuated a fallacy to overblown proportions and it is extremely fun to act counter to that idiocy
  15. He is 4-8 with 2 2Bs last 2 games, multi hit games in 4 out of last 8 games, 5 game hit streak...hitting the ball harder and harder and adding loft on lower pitches. Its coming
  16. You notice you can never say the umpire was a star in our favor lol
  17. JBJ wasn't going to come up short thats for sure
  18. Asking for time 2 times and not getting it...super trash ump
