Morrow is pitching ok. Or seems to be. Indians are just dialed in.

He’s always been good at taking walks. He doesn’t strike out much either. I don’t remember his numbers off hand but his K% isn’t much higher than his BB%.

Is it just me

or does Bautista get behind in the count a ton? Not that it seems to matter…

by Nadia on May 31, 2011 8:52 PM EDT reply actions  

he doesn't swing a lot

so there’s a lot of called strikes

As funky as Bautista can get.

by Nadia on May 31, 2011 8:54 PM EDT up reply actions  

its crazy

he’s on a funk, and he’s hitting like .250/.350/.500. That would be a good line for most players

Choose me, Ash!

by Pikachu on May 31, 2011 8:58 PM EDT up reply actions  

The last few games he’s been going the other way more on those pitches though. Or is this just me being crazy?

but thats the problem

he should be pulling the ball. He hits the best when he pulls it. If its outside, he should lay off. Instead, he’s been swinging more at outside pitches. Like i said, its a bit of a funk

Choose me, Ash!

by Pikachu on May 31, 2011 9:02 PM EDT up reply actions  

maybe just a hit?
