joeynach Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Ugh, I love what Rios has done this season for the most part, its been a great, and rather expected turn around from last year. However, right now our #3 hitter is killing us just when we need him the most. Hes been great all year, but his recent slump is so bad in terms of timing. He is 16 for his last 69 AB's, thats a .231 hitter, 8 RBI, 10K, and hit into 5 DP. I hope he comes out of it soon, he still looks at little lost at the plate. I have defiantly noticed a lot of swinging at pitches out of the zone or in the dirt. Has anyone noticed anything different? Is it his swing, is he getting tired, has the league adjusted?

lostfan Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Doesn't Rios still have a wrist issue or something like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has said that yes, that he is going to just have to play through it. But then a few weeks ago he started hitting the ball hard again for a few games, only to fall back into this pattern of hitting weak choppers to the left side. Hit that ball to the opposite field hard today though, so maybe he is starting to feel better about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rios is off limits of criticism to many. I applaud Fathom for ripping him regularly of late. Edited August 23, 2010 by greg775 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Wedmesday Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Isn't an annual second half fade a big part of Toronto fans' being glad to see Rios go (aside from the ridiculous contract)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 at least he woke up though and got the triple today. Though after that he took an 0-fer his last four at bats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
