Like I'd posted a couple other times, he finished last season terribly, also.

Rafi is struggling to swing. You can see it. He is trying to take his usual hack and it looks like a wet noodle.

Now here is the bad part....if he has shoulder surgery, forget seeing that swing again next year IF EVER.

Because the sore shoulder messes with his timing…

Funny how this alleged 'sore shoulder' doesn't affect his throwing the baseball. 

Oh well, let's see if Cora shuts him down.

He should have been sitting a month ago

The longer he pretends to play out there the better the chance that he will suffer permanent damage. Another absolutely DUMB decision on the part of management to let him pretend to play out there. No wonder they suck year after year.

His swing is a bottom hand swing. His top hand is mostly just guiding the bat to the ball. So all the viciousness in his swing is coming by way of that front side.

Devers has been swinging and missing high(above the waist)fastballs most of the season.

The Trop is a mausoleum with a circus tent inside. IOW, a perfect reflection of the entire state.

That's a dumb take.

I have a place in SoFlo and a place in the Northeast.

I find myself spending more and more time in SoFlo. Can't stand cold and gray for half the year up north. I get to play golf and go fishing pretty much year round, start my mornings with a nice bike ride along the beach and grab some breakfast staring out at the ocean.

Certainly not a mausoleum.
