Bigsoxhurt35 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 17, 2014 -> 01:07 PM) Yea no more Beckham, Carroll and Dunn please. Ya no kidding. Gona be a breath of fresh air to have them gone and if we could land Victor and a starter I'll be happy. Pen needs some real work also. The pen is the key in the offseason. Have to get it fixed.

caulfield12 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) I think it was July 21st, which is about when Cooper left the team. Would have to double check. Â Stanton hit his 32nd today. Â Â Jackie Robinson LL getting smacked around. Must have already used their best pitcher. LV had a pretty impressive (and big) kid there out on the mound.

thxfrthmmrs Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 It's a combination of fatigue, pitchers making adjustments, and regression to the mean. He leads the league in just enough and "lucky" homeruns, only 3 of his long balls were "no doubt". He was bound to slow down at some point. Â While we all want him to hit 50 home runs and shatter records, it just wasn't very realistic in his first year. The encouraging sign is he's still making contact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
