“It’s like he almost refuses to make adjustments at the plate. When he’s gone well, all he did was stay on the ball and let his barrel get into the zone as opposed to pulling every pitch and trying to hit it off the warehouse. I don’t get it. Isn’t there a point of embarrassment when you strike out four times a night? But I guess the players now have no shame when it comes to striking out.”

“I start to wonder if he is just guessing. He’ll take fastballs on the inner half at like, 0-2, because they threw him two sliders and then they are trying to come in. And the pitcher actually makes a mistake and he takes it. And you go, ‘What the hell are you looking at?’ There are times when it looks like he just mails a game in. And you’re going, ‘OK they’ve got a guy hitting in the middle of the lineup that is four outs, and three of them aren’t going to be productive. They’re gonna be strikeouts on three or four pitches.’ They can’t have that, and he should be better than that.”
