Well of course that’s the assumption! Lay off bad pitches (which is a common problem with Flops hitters) and swing at strikes or balls at least close to the zone.
If his new approach was to lay off bad pitches his production would go up. I remember when Schwarber was in Boston his plate discipline seemed to rub off on others.
Ten more days until the trade deadline. I would assess our needs are:
1. Decide if we are going to be sellers or buys but not be in between like last year
2. A good #2 SP. That will cost the team dearly as there aren't many around
3. A RH 1B man who is at least decent defensively that can also hit the baseball. Toro is tanking
4. A backup catcher
Its a lot.
If they are going all in, yes. I don’t think they have the talent to compete for a ring or to even make a deep run IF they make the playoffs. They have the nucleus of that team but they’re not there yet.
I “go away” when the game is out of reach or when the Flops play like little league players. Or when I don’t want to waste my time watching bums anymore
