There's more to good at bats than drawing walks; Anderson knows how to hit and isn't an overly aggressive free swinger.

If he isn't drawing walks then he needs to hit around .330 to have an OBP worthy of lead off.

 

Out at 2nd!  Nice pickoff play!

I’m noticing a trend

I didn't think I'd be moderately comfortable with Gonzalez by this point.

He has a lot of those now a days.

And yet somehow he leads the AL in 95+ MPH hit balls.  Go figure.

Agreed, he lets the lip come into play far too often 

That and for as athletic as he is, things get a little awkward when he has time. 

Oh god this ump

Rough AB for Eloy

because he loads up early.  he's cheating on fastballs.

Boyd getting generous calls now. 

That was well inside

Nice catch by Stone to catch Anderson working the angle subtlety to cheat in before breaking in on that pickoff play. Again he has just a spectacular baseball IQ. 

EE looks like he’s swinging a very heavy bat

Encarnacion late on any fastball lately it seems like

bring in Mccann/collins/engel/mercedes over EE... EE looks B A D!

Lay off the slider

jesus.

Robert needs to be more competitive than that. He’s swinging at terrible pitches.

Robert is swinging at too many bullshit pitches right now.

Robert chasing everything.  Terrible AB. 

Edited August 18, 20205 yr by SouthWallace

garbage at bat after garbage at bat

Let's try this Robert, don't swing the entire AB and see what happens

Some terrible at bats that inning.
