He hit the ball hard into the shift a lot cause his knee didn't let him lift the ball or go oppo very much. It's some of the same problems he's having right now. 

It was similar, but I think this year is a much more extreme version of those struggles. Grandal had a .145 ISO in April last year and then it was .273 (with a .136 avg lol) in May. I'm sure all of his batted ball/quality of contact metrics by even early May last year would have been outrageously good.

Let's Go Boys !!

Well Cueto proved me wrong and has lasted through 5 so far. He has settled down and pitched well. He is giving the team a chance which is all you can ask from him.  

The awakening shall begin now

Instead of everyone hoping to see Harrison released, I’d love to see Hahn gone.  Can’t wait to see how the idiot messes up the deadline.

must be nice knowing once you have two strikes that you don't need to throw another strike for a K

He's left handed. If he was a righty, he'd be down in AAA.

Give me a Burger !!!!

Burger time!

They can’t be this bad forever as painful as it’s been to endure as of late

Sheets needs to go 

Burger will absolutely demolish a hanging breaking ball.

I was talking about 2023, but ok. 

BTW what is everyone's opinion on Cease? Just one bad start or can we lump him in the underperformance category? 

Leaning toward one bad start against a hot team myself. 

So far this year, his K rate is up, his walk rate is the same, his hard hit rate is down, and batters have outperformed their expected stats. This sure looks like an unlucky stretch.

Burger ? ???

 

Say Hey Jake! Too bad the bases were empty.

Put Burger at second and forget about it

Simmons might be the laziest fielder I've ever seen.
