The guy nibbles. Has all this great stuff and he nibbles. You think it would get through to him by now...but it does not. Hanging his off speed stuff and doing what Cordero does....away ...away with his fastball until he has to bring it right down the pipe.
Just like the Juan F AB.....You think some of the coaches did not tell him or have told him to shorten his swing with 2 strikes by now?
You know when this team was not very good....I was not that upset or anything ...It would just be another game. NOW this team is better and stuff like this gets old. I like Juan but I think you would rather have an actual "old veteran" on the bench for this type of role. I mean JJ Putz? This guys arm was done and he is not the same pitcher that he had been in Seattle. A hitter with a clue or a plan would have done a better job. Now since I did not see the AB...maybe it was a good AB and the pitcher won this time. What about Bruce? This is the kind of guy he should hit...but since it is early and all is well....not going to sound like a troll for getting on his case.
