5/6... Giants game 3 (let's salvage 1)

[TURBO]

[CJ9]

This is my problem with this team that was masked by our early BABIP luck. Way too many hitters refuse to work counts. It’s painful to watch.

[sturg33]

Ablies lack of patience is infuriating.

Hate Ender swinging on a 2-0 count

[The Chosen One]

Team got no heart

[msstate7]

lol that was anticlimactic. freeman coming home to the plate proves to be costly.

Sam freeman hitting for himself. Flaherty never got an AB

[striker42]

I'd bench Ender and Ozzie the next game. You have a pitcher that can't hit the zone and so they swing at trash and get themselves out. Pathetic

They aren’t even trying.

This is pretty much who Albies is. And while he's gotten good results, pitchers have been taking advantage of it. He trusts his bat control too much so unless it's just badly out, he's going to swing...at absolutely everything. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of his weak contact outs have been on just outs of the zone, where he's trusting his batting ability too much.

[Ozzie Swanson]

You have got to be one of the most insufferable people to ever gain access to the internet.

[GeorgiaGirl]

And on the other hand, as long as it's left handers you also can't bench Ozzie as while it went down today he absolutely mashes vs them, and the guys when it's the Rays will be left handers.

But I've been saying in general, that you shouldn't be trying to play everyone EVERY day.

[UNCBlue012]

This was a really weird series. We got worked by a not-very-good team but also hit complete lasers all over the place while they blooped nearly everything. It’s really hard to be frustrated.

Gotta step up though.

ya def didn’t try lol

He’s 21 with very little experience against mature pitchers. It was just a matter of time before they adjusted against his aggressiveness. Now he has to learn to be a little more selective.

Albies is extremely talented. The plus or better hit tool is still there. The plus plus speed is still there. He is still going to be a very good player, even though he isn’t going to be the offensive monster he was in April.

Folks were all over his nuts in April, and calling him pathetic after a few games in May. Pure silliness.

Through 3 games Bautista is hitting 300 with a 800+ OPS. Working so far.

Care to guess how he will rate defensively? I'm guessing not so well. He does look better than I thought offensively though. Hopefully he will get better with glove

[Enscheff]

1. That's not what I said.
2. I really don't think that's true, but you're welcome to do your usual schtick and raid through my old posts in an attempt to prove me wrong.
3. I thought you were always the victim and never tried to pick fights?

I said I don’t resort to personal attacks first. I give people **** for being dumb any chance I get.

[mossy]

What a buzzkill

Clearly another amazing move by AA!

In all seriousness, my amateur eye test tells me the bat speed is still there. No idea if that means he can still be productive though.

[Ozzie Swanson]

Well, I didn't say Ender wasn't trying. I said he goes through spells at the plate where he's going so badly that it looks that way. I assume that all major league players are "trying." Also, I still see zero evidence I make those type of accusations twice a month.

I liked what I saw on offense and defense. Missed too many meat balls in the zone for me to be excited. But he’s still way behind in at bats compared to everyone else

I’d still rather learn about comargo

If this was a bench bat and spot starter I’d be very encouraged. 750 ops IMO. Low avg good obp and slug

Who called Albies pathetic?
