    Somewhat yes, maybe a mini-slump too but I doubt it lasts long as that kid seems special IMO.

    I'd like to see him go up to Carolina soon. He's old enough to where he should handle it. That move would also let Morales and Herbert catch every day at separate levels.

    Astudillo can move a lot better than AJP, little grounder between him and third and boy he popped out fast and made a great throw to first to nail him. If that is AJP there's no play at all, shoot player been at first before AJP is half way to that ball. I am liking this little Astudillo fella, his defense is better than the stats show, timely plays like that you don't see on the stats sometimes. Plus his pitchers seem to love him, good at getting them focused when off their games.

    Swanson hit the ball hard again but right at the right fielder, good swing and hard hit. He will get some to fall soon I expect.

    Swanson just called out on a 3-2 pitch that was clearly outside, he was on the way to first and shook his head no way that was a strike as he walked off. He was right. BS call.

    With guys like Swanson it's not uncommon to see them with better strike zone judgment than minor league umps.
