Moncada probably spends more time on gear and jewelry choices than studying opposing pitchers or formulating an approach.

His confidence is shot. He doesn't even want to swing. You see it constantly. Even when he swings, it's typically a very defeated swing. Just swinging to swing, without any real purpose.

I've learned on this board the only reasons players suck/slump is due to Long COVID and players banging women not being their wives. 

 

Menechino interference

TLR doesn't motivate/malaise

No accountability

Bad drafting/scouting/analytics

Duncan's son

Coaching staff incompetent

Not enough fan support at home

Not wearing the right jerseys for comfort

New baseball/humidors

Launch angle

Had a kid...lack of motivation

2000 Covid season

Training and strength and conditioning

Aging

Reggaeton videos

Climate change  too cold in April and May for Cuban players

TLR told them not to bust it all out

Vertigo

He needs a sports psychologist. Or his ass kicked by Abreu.

It's hard to watch him.  The few hacks he takes are on dead meat fastballs he can't even handle (whiffs, fouls off, or pops out). 

If you can't square up a dead center fat fastball in this league, you have no chance in this league.

Yoan is a headache

Can someone just slap him. I feel like he is in such a comfort zone to suck that if someone challenged his ass he would change 

If he's still hurting he belongs on the IL. 

If not, he belongs on the bench as Burger's late inning defensive replacement.  Maybe that would wake him up.

Why is Vaughn in the outfield ?

 

You just gave another reason.

Players' confidence being shaken by being asked to do things they're not capable of on defense.

Maybe we can blame Hostetler instead?

Oh...minor league coaching and Getz not preparing players properly.

Or blame nobody in the organization taking responsibility.

Maybe Moncada should stop switch hitting. Pick a side, LH or RH and stay with it every time up. Maybe Mendocino can have his bat speed from both sides measured along with other data to make that decision easier.
