Lip Man 1 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 (edited) Giolito looked terrific again. Good for him. Only downer was Moncada 0-5 with three strikeouts, now down to .277. Alonzo is Adam Dunn 2.0 Both are left handers, both are making a lot of money, both usually hit under .200 and their only worth is hitting home runs. He hit one today but this is still a big mistake by Hahn unless he somehow turns things around. Maybe start going the other way to beat the shift and start raising his average?

We only have Minnesota and Cleveland to beat. Stuff can happen as were seeing with McCann, Tilson, Bummer, Gio and others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than playing 1B Adam Dunn and Yonder Alonso couldn‘t have more different hitter profiles. Usually hit under .200 is also a blatant lie. I am no Yonder fan but this ridiculous.

Its remarkably effective instead of trying to give verbal cues or doing random drills. Edited May 12, 2019 by southsideirish71 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
