He is definitely extending his arms out farther from his chest. It is very obvious. And I think it is causing him to have a hard time getting to good fastballs - especially inside ones. EDIT: I am also totally on board with moving Hall ahead of him and agree with X that Billy of 2006 is back as I have mentioned before. Even times when Hall is facing a tough RHP matchup, he seems to be finding a way to make a good AB out of it, whether it be working the count in his order, fouling off tough pitches, or just flipping a single out there (often times to right field) on a tough pitch
