Yeah that's the reason he's playing even though Vazquez is a way better hitter than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that all the pitches look the same out of his hand. You're basically guessing. If you're sitting fastball, you're never gonna hit the curve. He's also getting calls on the curve low in the zone, so you can't just take all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it’s a difficult play, but one that could have been made. It’s a night where they’ve already not made two plays that would have resulted in outs.
