is that the first 2nd base pickoff since MB? It has to be.

THE VET!

he'd tell you there are two sides to the game himself.

lmao nasty changeup, who the fuck is this guy?

hey grandal decided to move!

filthy pitch, wow.

a bad habit.

he's def in his own head at this point.

come on TA, keep ur head in the game.

abreu with a pathetic AB.

yup.

jesus how does he not rip that pitch?

come on abreu.

if grandal is going to walk so much move him up to 2 and put Yoan 3rd.

WOW! HE GOT SLIDER AND HE HURT IT!

totally man I don't see why someone is just telling him in the on deck circle or pre game to consider not swinging until he has a strike on him.

ah fuck good pitch.

mendick is up there hacking and slashing, I love it.

not even that good of a breaking ball after looking at a fastball and fouling one off meekly. wtf.

mazara's bat is slower than shit.

oh gimme a break stoney that was a flat meatball.

lol Gio has it working.

they were pretty good sliders tbf.

What is going on with the audio on this broadcast, jesus.

Well James' bat, at least against LHP, is legit imo. His swing and approach are just better now. He proved in September last year he wasn't going to let himself just fall into his old bad habits again. He's continued to shorten his swing and take a patient approach this year. It's too bad because it looks like another self scouting failure by Chicago. They should have locked him for a few years on a team friendly deal, and he probably would have taken a bit of a discount for a 3 year deal last offseason.
