Every one of these hitters are the same. About average with nothing special on a consistent basis.

We continue to swing at anything though 2 of the Ks were called strike 3s. This team will continue to struggle with the bat as pitchers will keep throwing the ball out of the zone knowing our guys will swing at anything.

MEANS Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Although this little turn around as of late is nice to see, the offense was barley alive and now is back to the way it has been for the past 2 years. This team is going no where, they can't ever get on a consistent good offensive streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About average with nothing special on a consistent basis. All subject to look incredibly bad v any pitcher at any time. None of them can hit a slider. Most do not take pitches or work the counts, and end up swinging at pitches they can not hit. A crappy soft tossing lefty like Garrett can dominate them.

Give more take signs… Just like the Dodgers ordered their rookie second baseman not to swing throughout the spring. Of course you have to have talent to make contact with two strikes if you get behind in the count like an Arraez or even "prime" Madrigal lol.

Dan Pasqua Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 These MLB games are difficult to watch with this K ZONE. What's the point? I'm pissed off all game long because the ump blows at least 15% of the balls & strikes calls. It's so obvious to me that they keep the ump around just for gambling sakes.

Giolito and Bieber could both suffer the same fate of being very good but not great pitchers sacrificed to the budget or payroll gods "out of financial necessity." But, to be fair, Guardians' fans are showing up in the low 30000's each and every game recently...at least on weekends. Really tough call for GM in that particular market.
