That was one of the purest sounds of the year off the bat, mercy!

I swear Yoan gets that called a strike more than any lefty in baseball

I've been thinking the same thing. Yoan gets screwed on balls more than anyone I've ever seen.

Yoan just looks like he did before his breakout year. He always looked like to me he was hoping for a walk rather than a hit.

And not attacking the fastball

Yeah idk why he stopped going after the first pitch. 

 

BOOM

Nice to get to Plesac a bit again 

 

Someone tell Grandal he's allowed to hit the ball in the air.

He gets grooved so many fastballs in the zone like pitchers know he'll auto take. We've seen him make this adjustment before, but it's frustrating to watch right now.

I wouldn't say that, but he's had a lot of meatball fastballs and has been late a bunch. He hasn't squared up much this year.  

They should just DFA Jose he's had it. No more cheating Jose. 

Grandal *not* into the shift. Progress??

That made no sense Jason.  

Yasmani "groundball" Grandal

How do some people in the game threads watch so much baseball and yet have no idea what they are watching?

Got an 0-1 fastball right down the plate and took it for a strike. But yes, he’s been late a ton on fastballs as well.

Plesac is just a guy imo

My god, he can’t throw the ball.  Also so glad they put Mercedes at first.
