I'm getting really excited about Inciarte. I especially liked seeing him get a couple hits off a lefty yesterday. If he is able to be just average against lefties he's going to be very, very dangerous.

I watched his two hits from the links you posted.. I really liked his swing against the Lefty... especially that sharp breaker on his second hit... He might be a fun guy to watch.. I loved that he was rounding 1st Hard by the time the center fielder picked up the ball.. He is aggressive and will look for someone who is being lazy.. I like that..

Those were two really good swings. He stayed back which is hard to do for a lefty against a lefty.

Those were two really good swings. He stayed back which is hard to do for a lefty against a lefty.

was having another discussion about hitter splits against pitchers. I was looking at Ender.. He has faired pretty well against some tough Lefties. Now Zack G. owns him.. but likes of Kershaw and Madison, he has hit well against them..

Kershaw in 11 ABs is hitting .400 avg and a .455 OBP.. he does have 3 Ks however..
Madison in 28 ABs is hitting .270 avg with .321 OBP.. only 1 K against him.

here is a list of pitchers he has hit against at least 9 times

I watched this game last night. Some nice swings from our new additions Olivera and Inciarte, a big hit from Albies - the offense looked pretty good. It was nice to finally see Swanson out there. I still have no idea why we have Kendrick on this team, but Chacin looked great. It was nice to see Tyrell Jenkins pitch. He has an interesting delivery.
