Remember when everybody thought Tucker was for real. /Enscheff

That is like 13 double plays today.

Our boys need to gather round McCarthy and learn the art of the Chuckie Hernandez K.

Remember when there were comments about keeping Acuna down longer so Tucker could have more ABs?

 

[msstate7]

Swanson good AB

 

[Enscheff]

sweet jesus

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

great AB from Swanson....been encouraging to see him get off to a good start

 

[Julio3000]

Yeah, good battle. If he can't hit sliders, he can at least lay off.

 

[jpx7]

Was that an IBB to get to the two pitchers’ spots in the lineup, or did Cole think Dansbae’s slider problem would lead him to chase pitches even to the opposite batter’s box?

Jack Wilson is learning

Multiple sliders. Dansby's performance early this season has probably been the most encouraging thing for me. If he can hit we have a really good up the middle combination for a long time.

 

[Julio3000]

That ability is really all that's held him back, IMO.

 

[thethe]

Dansby starting to live up to #1 overall pick status?

 

[msstate7]

Try to steal

My favorite....LOL

I don't think people were attributing his (Acuna) slow start as the reason for taking extra time before promoting him (I wasn't anyway). It's more about riding a hot hand in Tucker to see what you've got with him. He made several adjustments last season and finally started producing. Then he falls into our laps and carries a scorching hot camp into the season. I personally would like to see him get as many ABs as possible

 

[thethe]

Inciarte needs to hit. He's better than this.

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

When Ender is going slow at the plate he turns in some really ****ty at bats.
