I'm willing to bet there's a strong correlation to how good the catcher is that he's running against. Pods does a great job of taking off at will against poor throwing catchers. However, when he faces the better throwing catchers, he's not as aggressive (nor should he be).
That's a good explanation. And by no means am I ripping on Pods, before anyone gets any ideas.
Ha, am I the only one that cringes just about every time a ball is it towards Ozuna at 3B, no matter how slow or routine?
