hankchifan Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 At least, we found our lead off hitter in Benintendi and hope with Remilliard, and got TA out of the leading spot. Major disappointments in Robert and Eloy with RISP, and roster difficulties with slider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put your bias aside and look at what he’s doing objectively. This does not involve my biases. I am as harsh as anyone here when it comes to calling players out. His talent is huge and yes he has some major learning and flaws to correct relative to plate discipline. Yet that is exactly what a coaching staff, especially the hitting coach's job is to help him learn that discipline. That is not what is expected on good winning teams. They do not to expect the player to figure it out on their own, when they have Jake's type of talent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is on them. He is having severe pitch recognition issues right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to get his baseball skills closer to Trout IMO, and that needs coaching and not just trust from Pedro. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake is raw but if someone works with him, he has so much upside! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also go to the batting cage to work with them, especially now, when they can use that new batting machine that can throw secondary pitches to help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjusttyped Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 If Burger had even adequate plate discipline he would have been intentionally walked. Seattle knew they could get him out without throwing a strike. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
