Thats like the first time ever abreu didn't come through with a rbi opp.

Bad at-bat from Abreu there.

Whiskey

Tango

Foxtrot

 

Once again we can't make good contact with a man on third.

You weren't watching in Anaheim then.

 

Guy cant find the fucking plate and abreus plan was to swing at everything. What the hell was going through his head?

This guy should have walked in at least two this inning.  How is he still out there? 

Nice Yas! Great eye at the plate.

Yas bases loaded walk ties it!

MLB alert just came. No Slam but I'll take it. 

I'll take it

Who was it that said walks don't drive in runs?

Nice work Yaz!

Deserves benefit of the doubt

Abreu's approach at the plate there, was bad. Dunn has no control on a good day, and you're up there hacking?

Yas was just gonna stand there and let him pitch. What Abreu should have done 

I really wonder what would happen with dunn if no batter swung all game. 3-4 runs?

He's pressing extremely hard. Baseball equivalent of hero ball.

Abreu always extends his zone, that’s who he is. His walk rate has always been below average. He is obviously a terrific hitter, but that’s his glaring weakness

Abreu is often allergic to taking walks in big spots

Sample size. He’s had one season in his career where he’s had 20% hit rate and that was 2017. Walks don’t bring runners home

I guess there are exceptions. ?

He's staying in after pulling a hammy?

Must have just cramped with the slide.

We needed to get one run there. Would love more but we absolutely needed one. We helped him out too much imo but still was nice to get eight walks

Some interesting pitch choices against Yasmani there.
