Earlier in the season, when Springer was doing pretty well at the plate, his at-bats looked a lot more like Bregman's current at-bats. I even remember remarking to my dad that his eye was pretty good this season. Currently, he's swinging at first pitches left and right and hitting like crap. Poor quality at-bats nearly every time. He looks desperate up there. Bregman, meanwhile, has worked to become way more selective than he was at the beginning of the season. His performance lately speaks for itself. Methinks Bregman needs to give the rest of the team a clinic on how he approaches at-bats and eyes pitches.
Also, the idiot neck baseball yokels of Houston, with a guy pitching a no-hitter, decide the top of the 6th is a greaaaaaat time to start doing the ****ing wave. I had to rewind it to make sure of the precise level fukwitery I was watching.
