The worst part about this "I'm going to call pitches 6" outside strikes, yolo!" attitude that the umps all have this year is that it forces Vladdy to swing at that garbage pitch and fly out like that.
He wasn't a signing. He was traded for.
And he's a great piece to have, a speedy excellent defending CF is a nice bench piece. He shouldn't be playing this much, but our starting RF shouldn't be out with an injury...
So, when Jansen is back, Kirk to AAA to work on stuff? I don't really care about projections, he looks awful at the plate, and he really had almost no minor league time, so it would probably do him some good.
Is it my imagination, or are a lot of balls dying quickly in this home stand? Like, ones that look really well hit just not travelling the way they sound and look like they should?
Noticed it a few times yesterday as well.
