I had it muted... Did Bregman get tossed?

Serious question... Do our hitting coaches do anything? Lots of guys looking not great at the plate over the past month. The only guy with a big breakthrough (gurriel) got tips from someone working for another team.

Can we hire Berkman as our hitting coach?
I agree with him this team takes way to many fast balls in the middle of the plate in hitters counts only to swing at the next pitch which is usually a slider off the plate.
Exactly. I was talking with a former pro pitcher who said that, when executing properly, Altuve would be one of the easier outs of the Astros everyday starters.W said:
Sparky called out Altuve on the radio broadcast last night.
he said from a pitcher's standpoint...it's easy to pitch to a guy that is so obviously trying to pull everything. Just attack him low & away every time. And it worked again for the Angels in that AB

Can't watch. But how did Lucroy hit a triple? Isn't he slow AF?

As a sports fan I usually hate the all star break, now I'm kind of looking forward to it.

Offense needs to be addressed at the trade deadline. People talk about how good we'll be at full strength, but we're 1 batter short of being full strength (Correa) and look at how limp our bats are. We need another bat.

Devenski saves Urquidy's ERA from ending at 13.50 by stranding his 2 runners. That was a failed experiment. Who is next? Nothing is at AAA. What is at AA?
That seems like a pretty broad assumption for someone who is not posting from the dugout.W said:Lance is basically 100% right on everything he says.shady said:

but in the one-true-outcome era...the players generally won't listen or won't change.
with guys like Reddick and Brantley being the exceptions
