That is kind of who he is.

He has been working on it. Look at the improvement so far.

K% 19.6% to 14.3%
Whiff% 27.6% to 22.7%
Out of Zone Swing 44.0% to 34.9%

Yanier's chasing and approach is leaps and bounds above what it was last year.

But that doesn't fit your narrative.
LOL, my narrative...

Yanier started the season leaps and bounds above what it was last year, but he has definitely reverted back to his old ways. Something that perhaps a hitting coach could help him get back on track with?

Finally struck that punk out. 13 pitches, geez.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

Why can't Bregman foul off a thousand pitches he doesn't like instead of blooping them for an out?

It may be my imagination, but JV at 41 requires more pitches to get his outs than even just 2-3 years ago.

A 13-pitch AB. I'm afraid we won't get but 4 innings out of JV instead of 5.

84 pitches. If he feels okay, I let him come back out to at least face Canario.

79 foul balls vs a 1-pitch out.

One thing for sure has changed in the past couple of years- the Astros offense does not wear down starting pitchers.

Yep. Even if a pitcher shut us down, we could knock them out in 5 innings due to pitch count and then feast on relief pitching.

He doesn't throw 97-99 anymore. Requires more pitches.

Montero threw a cookie. Thankfully, the Cubs can only hit the ball backwards or sideways today.

I mean it's kind of the time to throw cookies. Nothing seems to be able to get out today

I've seen Altuve, Dubon, and maybe McCormick all move their right foot backwards from the plate during the middle of their swings. Is this some new hitting approach?
