for being supposedly fast - tims speed to first base has never impressed me. 

All matters how he gets out of the box. Thought that one would be closer, but I guess not.  He’s just hitting so few line drives of late.

I think Seby getting the majority of playing time isn't helping his bat. You need to get regular at bats to progress as a hitter. If his framing wasn't so goddamn awful, he'd be playing more.

If he were better at baseball, he’d be better at baseball.

If he's gonna be a pull hitter he should just get closer to the plate with that open stance.

His bat speed isn’t quick enough to pull the ball. A lot of his success comes from flipping the ball to left.

His spray chart shows me he has 3 doubles down the RF line. 2 doubles and 1 HR to RCF , 1 HR to CF , 1 HR to slightly LCF which you could call CF  and 1 HR to the gap in LF. Only 1 double to straight away LF. Practically the whole side of medium and deep LF is empty of hits .

Just think about it, the Cubs got 7-8 of those calls yesterday. 

It's always funny to me how Contreras lives on framing pitches that are 3-4" outside that he ends up getting the call, but when one goes against him when he's in the box, he gets pissed off

Nice chart, the flips to left are the three in shallow LCF.  I believe a few came against Tampa.

Carlos might have gotten 2 Ks that inning, but he was dangerously close to walking 3 of the 4 hitters he faced. With the top of the lineup coming up, he shouldn't have a real long leash in case he starts the 6th inning wild. You also don't want to overthrow him. Gotta save him for the stretch run.

I bet he has a long leash with the rest he’s had and Hendriks likely down
