I am curious to see if other teams will handle Lahair like the Brewers did over the weekend, I don't recall many FBs in the zone and just beat him to death with breaking balls.

 

As I recall he did have a couple of hard hit balls to the wrong places, though. Specifically a lineout into a double play that had no business being stopped in the infield. Your point remains though. Definitely didn't look like the same guy he has been.

One positive is that uses all fields, so if they try and go backdoor on the breaking stuff that he'll go towards LF instead of rolling over.

 

He's been pretty selective despite the higher K ratio but unlike Pujols, I don't want him to press and start expanding his zone. His swing gives him limited room for error.

Well at this point I'm convinced he's going to finish his career with 500 homers.

 

Maybe if you include batting practice.
