It's like Diaz kept thinking he could hit a ball 6 inches off the plate, 12 inches off the plate and then 18 inches off the plate. What?
I think he's always going to be aggressive swinging at stuff out of the zone. It's just that he has an uncanny ability to connect on pitches most hitters can't, so it hides his chasing (hence, a high chase % but low K %). Abreu being a near-auto out right after Tucker is the big problem.
I'm fairly confident in Javier going 4 innings with one run --- 5 IP with 2 runs isn't bad either. 85 PC should be his limit regardless if he qualifies.
Serious question folks...is Brantley not able to play tonight ? There's 5 games left...my goodness.I know tomorrow but goodness.
