    Stewart better step it up.

    It's going to be awfully hard to win a Cy Young as a middle reliever.

    I'm not sure if I saw it here or some place else, but one of the changes Encarnacion is said to have made is keeping both hands on the bat all the way through his swing.

    Congrats to EE on his offensive numbers but like Adam Dunn, it couldn't have happened here due to the lack of a position for him. Clearly the BJs have made the decision that he hurts them too much in the field so they're playing him at DH with an occasional start at 1B. That's just plain not possible here

    Actually wasn't thinking that he is a user, unless they make PEDs that only work in Toronto or at the Skydome. But thanks anyway.

    Your prerogative, but I note a pattern and I'm not alone in that.

    That's fine. But we are talking about a guy with a 21/4 HR and 59/17 RBI home/road split over the last 7 months while there are recent allegations of the team cheating at their home park.

    To me, it seems fishy.

    Fred Lewis came in here and after OPS numbers well over .700....could barely crack .650 while playing here....after playing half his games in SF where he almost hit .800 OPS in 2008.

    Ludwick was supposed to come in here and re-discover his swing here and power. Nothing so far. Maybe it's the teflon hitting coach they have here.

    Or maybe it's just that we picked up those guys on the wrong side of their career arcs.

    The guys who we have who we figured could hit, seem to always hit. The guys we always have questions about, tend to continue to have questions about them. How does that fall on the hitting coach?

    Might be wise to wait until the ball starts carrying before lumping Ludwick in with the other guys.

    So you are happy with this Hitting Coach and how he has developed the hitters here?

    MLB hitting coaches don't develop guys. By the time they get their hands on these guys, they are generally developed. The guys we expected to hit, have. The guys we expected not to, haven't. I can' see that going on the hitting coach one way or the other. Do you see him as failing to do something? If so, what.
