If you're sitting breaking ball, you have time to adjust mid swing accordingly and put the ball in play,. It's just somewhat baffling that Barger hasn't made the adjustment yet. It's way overdue.
Barger better make the adjustment to the breaking ball, that's all he's been seeing lately. Is it really that difficult to go up and sit on a breaking ball? He'll see more fastballs as a result.
Kirk needs to be a little more subtle when popping his glove up on the framing of low strikes. He used to be better than what I've been seeing so far this year and cost Lauer a strike out on that 3-2 curve.
I agree but this is the Shatkins way. There's no way they'll show weakness on a premier signing or trade, like they refuse to bat Giminez eighth or ninth given the money he'll be making.
Would had it not make sense to PH Giminez with Schneider vs the LHP knowing he can't come out of the game yet? We need base runners at this point with Springer looming to PH. Can't worry about the defensive downgrade. Schneider is a horrible manager, my God.
