if javy is really ambidextrous (says he is and says that's why he can tag like that) i kinda feel like he should give switch hitting a try. not like he can be much worse vs righties anyway.

It's weird that Eric Thames has more homers than Schwarber, Bryant and Rizzo combined.

 

And he was tested again after last night's game. Twice in about 10 days. But it's "random testing" right?

Not in reference to Thames, but I wonder how many guys are getting away with PEDs? Obviously there has to be more than the few who get busted by MLB.

What if Bizzaro Left-handed Javy was super patient and didn't swing at bad pitches?

haha

 

also, iirc, i even think at some point he said his natural throwing hand was lefty but he switched so he could play infield

Would Javy have a better OBP if he never swung at a single pitch?

This could be fun. Didn't some player, maybe Ian Desmond, do this at some point during the decade?

 

not sure. i remember guys ditching switch hitting but can't remember any picking it up off the top of my head

Eddie Murray did, but he picked it up when he was still in the minors so that doesn't count as much.

Remember that time we were facing a knuckleballer and Milton Bradley took his first AB against him LH and then his second AB he batted RH? Edited by Sammys Boombox

That's hilarious. I know I've read that he originally swung left-handed, but switched to swinging right-handed because he got hurt from swinging too hard as a lefty.
