His last AB last night Julio swings at a ball that hits the plate to K. Very next AB tonight he watches a center cut fastball go by for called strike three. What brain cells in his brain cause him to make those two decisions. Just bizarre.
Yea he may be off to his best start ever but he is still Julio. Btw Cal breaks out tonight with 2 singles lol
Seth Nails it!!!! :shock: :D
WTF

Sounds crazy... but the M's best bet at the trade deadline to get better might come in trades with Houston.

Parades, Correa, Walker, Hader...

I'm sure Houston will be looking to move a lot of $$.
Parades: We already have a 3B and another waiting in the wings in the form of our top prospect
Correa: Out for the season
Walker: We already have a 1B and our DH has a .800 OPS and almost hit two Salamis tonight.
Hader: Jerry and Stanton trade for a 32 yo reliever owed almost $50M???? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

So ohtani has been dominant pitching but his hitting has taken a toll. That is going to be the issue in my mind
Ohtani entered Tuesday's game with just four hits in 36 at-bats this month -- none of them homers -- bringing his slash line down to .233/.363/.404. Lately, the Dodgers have become concerned with the quality of Ohtani's at-bats. His four hits in the past 10 games are his fewest in a 10-game span since 2022, which also marks the last time he tackled two-way duties for a full season.

2 singles and a walk.

I was talking to a coworker today, we were complaining about Cal, and I predicted he was going to break out of the slump today or the next day. Because every time he goes through a dry spell, he starts crushing foul balls into third decks right before getting his shit together. And the last couple/few games he's hit a couple giant foul balls that went 425 the wrong direction.

lol You posted that about 2.5 Hours after his second single. How do you get that wrong??? Especially when you think you are correcting someone. Did you think we all were wrong so you didn't think you needed to just take two seconds to check the box score? :lol:
