    Likely gonna lose today. Padres pen will lock you up and sit you down. They may suck overall but their pen is that good, it's one of the best in the majors.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    He's done, it's over.

    .240-.250 bat at most with meh defense unless he changes his approach.

    Albies most certainly has to change his approach. Not sure what the laughter is about. Teams will not stop pitching him above the zone until he proves he can lay off that pitch.

    Luckily for every interested party he's only 21 years 5 months old, and younger than half the players who were drafted this week.

    Just a guess, but I think that might bode well for his chances to make adjustments.

    Do you think he ever consistently hits that high pitch? If you don't then her post is 100% right.

    Remember when someone said Albies needed to stop swinging at high pitches and hitting fly balls?

    Remember when Gov came in and dropped knowledge about how I was wrong?

    yeah that's a pretty big loophole...riddle me this...how many major league hitters never change their approach

    If it was one comment I wouldn't care. But it's like your posts in regards to Newk but the reverse.

    It's been out for a good while (at least a month), sometimes he lays off (he does if it's out of the zone), sometimes he doesn't, and unless he goes back on top of the ball he won't hit anything above the belt.

    Which means...hello .240-.250 bat.

    Looks like a 5 and fly game for Folty.

    SD is doing a BP game and not really worrying about getting the platoon advantage. Seems...sub optimal, but working so far.

    The funny thing is, Albies is actually migrating back to an all fields hitter in a small sample size in June. Only 33.3% to the pull side in June. 42.9% hard contact rate.

    It's failing horrendously. He's being badly punished for earlier in the year. Likely will go back to being dead pull because of it.

    We should probably stop screwing around and get some runs. Just saying.

    The Padres may be bad, but their ahead bullpen is very elite this year. The Braves caught a horrible break when the Pads chose to not start a spot starter and are likely now going to lose this game 2-1.
