Home Run for Guzman! ... Good grief!
Dukes may just be a slow starter -- he was horrendous to start the year last year -- they're not going to send him down I would imagine -- they'll need to at least platoon him till he get his rhythm/stroke going ...
people aren't going to be happy but I think it's a near certainty that Dukes will not be a starting outfielder for this team on Opening Day. He struck out again today. That makes 20 Ks for him in 48 ST ABs (42% whiff rate).
say it ain't so! i don't know how i'm going to deal with that if it happens. Dukes is in a severe slump right now, but he'll break out of it.
Nah. They said in today's Post he's pulling his head off the ball.
I can't believe some pro players still have that problem.
yeah, but i'm of the belief, hitting major league pitching is the hardest thing to do in sports.
Exactly. So if you're a Major League hitter and you're pulling your head, you're just making your job that much harder and the pitcher's that much easier.
Ryan has picked the perfect time to start raking! 3/3 3 RBI 3 RUNS HR! everyone else seems to be following suit too- except for Dukes, but i'm 110% confident he'll come around.
But it is one of easiest things to correct. Basically all they are saying is he's opening his front side to soon. Stay back, let the ball get deeper in the zone. Works the same at all levels.
Great job by Joel and Mock preserving the win.Mock lowered his ST ERA under 4. He better make the team over some bum like Tavarez.
