Well, that was underwhelming. Why do these guys watch so many 3rd strikes? And Rodgers is. S. L. O. W
Yeah off the bat I was hoping he'd beat it and expecting a bang bang play. Instead he was out by a step and a half.
Really would have liked to see Yordan Pinch hit for Rodgers in the 5th. That was likely the game situation and there likely won’t be another AB even close to as important as that one.
Walker batting 4th - .151/.253, 1 HR, 2 RBIs, 73 ABs Walker batting 5th - .345/.387, 3 HRs, 7 RBIs, 29 ABs He should never bat 4th again even with Yordan out.
Diaz is not a good DH (off the bench) hitter. Should've left Dezenzo in. He was making contact. 0-10 with 6 Ks now on the year *edited*
Don't like the Diaz ph either. If you're going to ph there do it with the best hitter on your bench in Yordan. Diaz still looks like a struggling, free swinging hitter a lot of the time.
