It looks like he's swatting flies up there with his bat. Why even swing at it if you're not gonna hit it hard?

Looks to me like he's selling out completely to make contact. That's why his K rate is so low but he's not hitting for any power

Robert needs to change something at the plate because his whole approach is screwed. Anything not center of the plate he can't hit.

Would much rather see the strikeouts increase if it means more power

Is Harrison hurt?  Tony like to sit a hitters coming around not named Garcia.

RHP vs. LHB.

Would prefer Harrison's defense.

Luis Luis Luis you don't want to hit outside pitches son ! Take a freaking walk once in a while. Make the pitchers respect you.

If I was a pitcher I wouldn't even put a pitch in the strike zone until there were 2 balls on the count.

More bad Zavala base running.

Can't get two more hits to score him.

2nd is still scoring position on a 2 out hit even for him with a nice secondary lead.

I'd understand that swing with 2 strikes, but that was an 0-1 count. His approach just sucks. 

These change ups are in the zone but Seby isn't framing any of em. 

Very Pro Bundy strike zone so far.

Benetti is annoying the crap out of me tonight.

Can't keep giving up all these base runners.

he's pretty intent, even for Jason, on not calling the game tonight.

It definitely seems like the pendulum has swung way too far towards making contact. Maybe it's a health thing because his quality of contact metrics were outrageously good early in the season

Look at his first swing and his feet.  He had absolutely no base on that swing.  Looked like a bad hitting pitcher.

Love seeing good defensive positioning take away a hit like that

Good positioning. Kiriloff did the same thing the first time up, but didn't hit this one as hard. 

good positioning

Greg will be upset that wasn't a base hit up the middle.

cueto is fucking awesome.

Bill left already? Probably headed to the strip club. He is loving the single life!

Unless they're under orders to hawk concession items like Harry sold Budweiser.

Looks too much like Eloy.

Johnny on the spot tonight......sorry I had to.

Time for a Sheets solo homer
