I fully agree he's not healthy. At times this year he has been ridiculous distances off the plate though. He's had at bats where his heels are almost on the line. I don't remember him being that far off the plate in his earlier years, but could be wrong. Edit... Went to good old YouTube and watched a compilation of his 2012 home runs and he is equally far off the plate. Had some back of the box pulled balls that year.
He's not pulling anything because he's standing a mile off the plate. Might be to protect his thumb from getting jammed, who knows. Fully believe if he moved back up on the plate he would pull balls with power.
Dead Simmons, no catching prospects at AAA that could fill in? Cards system is raved about so much, seems odd they wouldn't have a better option than Kottaras. Although catcher isn't a position that's easy to have depth at.
Good lord does Yo nibble when he gets two strikes. Be aggressive and he would pitch deeper into games. Seems like he's always chasing the punch out almost to a fault.
With Kelly on an 85-90 pitch limit, probably going to be a lot of arms used tonight for the Cards. Big first inning in more ways than one. Keep it going Segura!
In my daughters Tball game tonight a runner held on second when there was a grounder hit to short. She was cleaning the dirt off the bag, but she still held. 7 year old girl > Logan
The fan reached over for sure, but to me it looks like Logan would've missed the ball by a foot. Edit: the angle from the infield actually looked like it was headed into the glove.
With Yo's option at 13M next year what are the odds the Brewers pick it up? Is 12 wins and a 3.80 ERA worth 13M? That seems to be a typical year for Yo.
