Tridents skewer Snakes again GT 5/30. WOO rattles Nelson

Welp, Julio's 10 HR may left him with an OPS over .900 and a slugging near .600 for the month.

Still needs to turn some of the K's into walks as the OBP is low for the BA and slug, but that's a good sign.

Julio is an aggressive hitter, he just is. I doubt that changes much. He's going to get his fifty walks this season along with 150 strikeouts and his thirty plus home runs.

Aggressive does not negate the potential to be smart.

Arozarena is an aggressive hitter with a .370 OBP... why? Because he's finally decided to take pitches where they're pitching vs swinging for the fences every AB.

Julio would be a much better hitter if he stopped trying to turn on pitches to the outer half. Arozarena has 29 hits to right field vs Julio's 13.

Mariners win! We're HEROES!!!

And a shutout, no less. We're not counting that "run" in the ninth.

Who was the BP guy that didn’t bother to cover home? I was driving from Spokane back to Yak so I was only catching bits and pieces.

But good win and a nice 5 game and counting against good teams.

OK, he's stupid then. Personally I'm appreciative of what he delivers rather than harping about the hitter he isn't

Another solid win. Good pitching, good defense, good hitting = wins, go figure!

PS Happy OKC elimination day to those of us that celebrate.

It's about him getting to the hitter he should be.

You can appreciate it all you want. I don't have to. Just like you didn't have to reply to my comment.

Fair enough. Stupid it is.

Same problem Felix had once throwing hard was no longer an option.

Just wants to do what he does, not what will make him better.

I think a lot of MLB players problems can be explained by low IQ.

Many of them go into baseball at a young age, so it's even understandable.
