    Sorry for the negativity in a game we're winning by 9, but Happ still needs to go to Iowa.

    Solid start from Q, especially with the wind blowing out like it is. Now get Yu right, unless he is dead.

    The VBs got lucky against Kluber, but they just got their asses handed to them by Carrasco.

    On Baseball Savant, go to Statcast Search https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/statcast_search And you can play around in there with locations in the zone and stuff like "all swings" and "swings & misses." There aren't actual stats, but you can search for whatever and calculate it yourself.

    I really don't care who the culprit is. I think it's just something weird going on with him. He's seeing more pitches in the zone -- probably because he's hitting .085. But the BB% is still really fluky. It's not like he's up there hacking away like Javy. Regardless, I don't think he's looking for zones in any quadrants more than he's ever been or that pitchers know how to attack him or anything like that. He just horsefeathering sucks right now. It doesn't have to be more than that.

    Funny how you were one of the guys who said not to blame struggles on Mallee but you're pounding the Chili blame drum every game. Rizzo is his own worst enemy right now. He refuses to swing at outside pitches and has like 2 quadrants he's looking for pitches in. Pitchers know this and get ahead in the count with low and away pitches he just stares at instead of hammering oppo. He gets into non-favorable counts constantly. He's had an abysmal approach at the plate. You say Chili is pressing our guys to become oppo singles hitters and Rizzo is most definitely not trying to do that at all. Once again, you have no idea what you are talking about. Rizzo's BB% is incredibly fluky. His First-pitch strike % is 58%. Career average? 58%. He's swinging at 66% of pitches in the zone. Career average? 66%. He's even being more discerning than usual, swinging at 26% of pitches out of the zone, which is well lower than it's ever been. And it has nothing to do with him taking pitches on the outside. From 2015 through 2017, he swung at 65.5% of pitches on the outer third. This year, he's swung at 71.8%. You don't have to create some dumb narrative for everything. Sometimes guys just struggle. He's changed nothing about his approach. He's the same guy. He's just hitting it like horsefeathers.
