Rafaela swings at two pitches a foot outside. That’s what I have been talking about. He’s completely lost plate discipline though he can still hit mistakes
-
Winning run on 2B
-
Duran is just useless
-
He kept us in the game at least
-
Suarez did his job even though it wasn’t pretty
-
Masa needs to avoid killing more worms here
-
The Flops needed that play. Maybe it will wake them up
-
Durbin is definitely a dirtdog
-
Winning run on 1B
-
I expect better from professional baseball players Don’t you?
-
Idiotic play by Rafaela. Little league baseball
-
I guess we had our little flash in the pan. Back to the Flops being the Flops
-
Duran couldn’t even just make one out This team very likely won’t make the playoffs
-
The good news is that the Patriots season starts tomorrow
-
Suárez stinks
-
Game just about over
-
3 pitch K for Rafaela. Yaaaaawn
-
Is he still here? Why?
-
If you were paying attention(which you obviously are not) you would know that while last year I was content to make a brief guest appearance in the playoffs this year I’m not going to be content with that. If BresLOW had completed his job over the winter we wouldn’t be trying to squeak by as a third wild card team. Year after year we finished last because our owner is too CHEAP to pay for top rate talent. Mookie Betts. Schwarber. Alonso. Etc. This is a big market team. We should be competing for a ring nearly every year. Hence, we are the FLOPS. And yes, Rafaela has had a great year. Now he is in “swing at everything” mode as other posters here noted on last night’s game thread. Merloni mentioned it too, because it’s true. Only those who senselessly defend him disagree.
-
I didn't claim to know whether he will continue to look worse for the rest of the year or for any specific length of time. I claimed (as did others) that over the past several games he has begun to regress and lose the plate discipline he had before the past several games. He was instrumental in our long winning streaks and he is also contributing for the recent losing streak.
-
Merloni simply verified what my eyes were telling me: : Rafaela has lost plate discipline. Again. Anyone with half a brain can see it. And his OPS for the 7 games from the end of the LA series to before last night’s game was .584. So his lack of plate discipline is being reflected in his performance. Let’s hope he regains his form before the Flops complete their choke job.
-
Since the LAD series his OPS is .584. He’s been swinging at too many pitches off the plate. It’s just 7 games but I don’t want it to turn into a trend-like the Flops choking year after year or what he did last year. Overall he’s had a great year. Let’s hope it doesn’t turn into the downturn he has last year.
-
Did the Flops recover from the deficit? No? Then it was over
-
Rafaela is regressing in terms of his plate discipline . Merloni noticed it too. He knows what he is talking about. He might improve again with a few days of rest. Could be wearing down again like last year
-
I’m not the only one here who has noticed his decline in plate discipline. He can still hit mistakes but his swing rate is way up again. Have you been paying attention?
