Is kyle hendricks one of the pitchers whose spin rate is way down? Given up a lot of hits and homers this year. Giolito hasn't really been hurt

by it. Like an unnecessary mental crutch.

If you're accusing Hendricks of using spider tack beforehand he is probably the last pitcher in the league that would've done it.

I think is the best Luis has looked ranging around CF since he returned. Looking like his 2020 self out there today.

Much smoother and faster. Also not grimacing after every play.

At every point in Luis Robert's development there's a period where he briefly struggles and then gets locked in and starts destroying that level's pitching. Seems like he's there with MLB now but there is no higher level for him to get promoted to now.

He is laying off the low and away slider. He's a bad man

He HAS to figure out how to stay in the line up 150 times a year. If he can do that regularly,  he will be an MVP type player.

It's hard for him to resist that because he's been able to hit it at lower levels and MLB pitchers are too good, they started taking advantage of him and he was having some tough ABs for a while, but he figured it out. Still strikes out on it (like every MLB player does) but nowhere near as often.
