    It's hard to believe Abreu actually hit some HRs in spring training.

    A 30 mph gust came up when he hit the ball in the air.

    Softball game. With a metal bat. Off a tee. In a little league field

    Chas continues to light up lefties. What more does Dusty need to know - never sit Chas against a lefty again. No excuse not to and it’s not like we face a lefty that often !

    McCormick should always be playing against lefties.

    6 pitches and none were in the strike zone and Julks keeps swinging away.

    Imagine this lineup with Myers instead of Julks and Diaz instead of Maldy. Guarantee the score would look different

    Leave too many runners on and even the crappiest team will beat you

    2 games in a row of Julks free swinging and whiffing at junk. Nothing to indicate that he's putting anything together or just unlucky. It's just bad.

    More dividends from Dusty’s tactical thinking and Maldys toxic behavior

    This team is in a serious offensive funk, too many guys struggling to get hits & the long ball is becoming less & less frequent. I hope they can find their rhythm but this is concerning

    Infield single. This is how bad things start.
