I'm shocked Bagwell is an Abreu apologist.

Hard to focus with that light blue shirt just left of home plate.

So there is the unofficial official answer. It's in his head.

BS. That swing is so slow and so inside out.

One of Abreu's hardest hit balls this year

No reason to pitch to Yordan and Tucker at all. Easy.

Put some pitches on Burnes, so there's that.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

Same with Cabrera, should end up with 40+ HR and 100+ Ribbies

That's why Bagwell and the hitting coach got out there with him early…

Now we get to watch them pitch around Yordan and Tucker with no repercussions. Brewers are smartest club we have faced yet

Abreu is not a threat. At all. Period.

Yep, some of us thought that putting Tucker behind Alvarez would give the big guy some protection.

The Brewers answered that.

If nothing else, it shines a big spotlight on Dusty's decision making.

He just went on to say Yelich is also proof that guys with track records always figure it out.

Because Yelich is a somewhat decent leadoff hitter right now after being a literal MVP-level player a few years ago.

What have you seen from Abreu?

Bagwell: I would tell the fans he's gonna be fine. He has a long track record. He's going through it right now. He's getting stuck a little bit. His brain tells his bat head to get to the ball and that means he has to lean back and either gets jammed or tops the ball.. Every single person who's played this game has been through what he's through. New team and all that. Nobody cares more than Jose. It becomes in your brain. I don't care how long you've been playing this game. Mentally, you get messed up. He's going through it right now but all it takes is one swing and one pitch. When you're struggling, there's no trust.

How much of it is a new team?

I'm sure it does. To come to a new team, sign a big contract, there's gotta be some pressure. He cares. That's an attribute that I like that he has.

So Javier is a fly ball guy and we have a weaker defender in LF. I guess Chas hadn't made a game saving catch in the last day or so.

Easy to do with two outs already by the time Yordan stepped up. There needs to be more than two guys in the lineup to plate runs or someone other than Abreu behind them. Probably both.

Read something earlier this year that he is more elusive taking a little off, he was over gassing it one game I think I remember

Isn't Dusty a big rest guy? The first baseman needs a lot of rest.

Fastball is down 0.8 thru 1.

I'm so conflicted. I love Bagwell and enjoy listening to him talk baseball, whether you agree with everything he says or not. I just wished that was it regarding his involvement with the team.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.
