dodged a bullet there, but I doubt we can muster a hit. Dusty took over hitting coach duties, told them to swing on the first pitch and swing freely and early. no walks, they're useless.
It’s funny how Dusty felt the need to announce publicly that Maldy would catch the entire Mariners series after the success Diaz had catching and hitting in the Rockies series. It’s like he’s protecting his feelings. Dana Brown says in an interview he wants to see more Diaz appearances, Dusty immediately strips Diaz of his catching starts and then feels the need to bring up publicly that Maldy brings more than hitting. It’s no coincidence.
No, regular squat, right knee slightly closer to ground. Ball bounced, but straight. Like it hit maldy without making him move.
Diaz was catching. Maldy pretty much gave up 1 run single handily allowing an easy steal and dropped catches.
He's gotten incredibly lazy about getting his chest over the ball, but like I said I didn't see this one, so no idea how egregious it was.
