It is so maddening and frustrating to see all these so called “talented” players make zero adjustments at the plate swing at all the heat but cannot recognize or lay off the slider or junk pitches thrown on the outside portion of the plate. Eloy and Robert are so terrible at this especially Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 dude eloy needs to be swinging at that garbage. it's a fucking 72mph hanger, who cares if it's a bit inside isn't that the fucking point of standing a billion feet off the plate with that stance? and then gets jammed on a 92mph "fastball". what a fucking joke. can't cover any of the plate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Maybe they have one but aren’t executing, but it sure looks like most of these guys don’t have a plan when they come to bat.

caulfield12 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Every baseball fan in America needs to switch to being a Rays fan for just this year... like that 2001 Mariners season. Who doesn't love a classic underdog story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
