greg775 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 That's more like it, good job by Melky. How did we get Eaton on third? I missed all that part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 They should call the game after the 7th. Hopefully after a Garcia homer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Avi is such a bad guesser. No pitch recognition at all. I really hope it's something he can learn. Right now he knows if he's going to swing while they are delivering the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You darn well know that's why teams finally gave up on Viciedo. They were sick of seeing him swing at everything and figure he just won't change that approach. His 20 bombs aren't worth his bad defense and bad recognition (meaning Viciedo). I'm starting to wonder bout Avi. He's young but if he doesn't learn to lay off some pitches and draw some walks I'm afraid he's not going to excel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he can develop that with experience. He's still only 23 and without the benefit of a full season in the Major Leagues, so you would think he does have time, with experience, to fine tune those tools and then recognize his talent. The problem I have at this point is trying to get him to do that underneath the pressure of being a middle-of-the-order hitter. I think he needs to be down around 7th in the order at this stage of his career. Edited April 25, 2015 by Thad Bosley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
