Gotta ride your horses. Remember when people wanted to pull Springer two years ago? Just gotta ride what got you here.
They are going to break Alvarez, this man is getting traumatized...it's one thing to trust you players and believe they will get out of slumps when they have a body of work to back it up the way this is going he's playing scared and overthinking x 1000.
That first strike down the middle of the plate that he didn't swing at would have been a HR with the old Alvarez. Now he only swings and balls that bounce on the ground.
Hinch proved us wrong two years ago when he left Springer in even though he sucked in the ALCS.. but I just don't feel confident.
