    It's mental. Getting hit in the face will do that to you.

    His batting stance and swing is trash. Not sure what getting hit in the face has to do with that. He had the same issue before he got hit.

    I was just thinking along similar lines. I was so amped about Heyward that Freeman seemed almost like a "throw in" to the conversation. Boy, was I wrong.

    I would say that Jason is a sad example of an incredible athlete that wasn’t coachable, but he made a god awful amount of money on potential alone.

    Hard to call that sad.

    This is exactly the kind of game he’s supposed to pitch in.

    Why did we pay Tomlin when we didn't have much money? Wright could do his job, and he could do it better IMO

    ETA... Wilson, not Wright

    Lol. Jason thinks he’s smarter than every good hitter ever.

    What an idiot.
