I remember starting a "Give Love To Encarnacion" thread and even though I was bashed on it, the love has poured through and hes doin pretty "OK" in my book. I say we try and show some love and high spirits for our man at 3rd. I know his slump cant possibly last 4ever, but we gotta back this dude up! I hope people who are goin' to the games are given em' support and I think we should do the same here.

 

LETS GO MIKE! WE NEED THAT BAT!

 

:prayer :cheer :crossfingers :ole :clapping

:arms MIKEY YOU CAN DO IT :arms

I feel bad for him. He looks so angry at himself for being in this slump. All athletes have their slumps, and they all get out of it in due time. I wish the best for him, and I hope he starts being his old self again. Im thinking they should bench him for a couple of days so he can get some rest and improve himself. Go Lowell!

You can do it !

 

One AB at a time. Maybe this year Mikey does the opposite, slumps first half, and tears it up in the 2nd half. If he did that we will be well on our way to October.

Go get em Mike. We know you'll turn it around. I feel bad for him also.

Come on Mikey, you can pull through.

:notworthy GO MIKEY

How about the next game you go to, start a "LETS GO, MIKEY!" Chant?

Mike will bounce back he is a great guy and a great team player he deserves to get outta this one !

The Mike Mularkey pick me up solution: Eat cheeseburgers before a game. Go Mike!

Hey Mike we all believe in you and we have faith in you, so don't lose faith in yourself. You're going to get out of this funk, you are going to hit .300+ for the year and a nice round number of 30 HR's is in your future.

 

 

Just take it one AB at a time. :thumbup

Looks like Bill Robinson has him tied up like a pretzel.

Poor Mike.

 

Hopefully he gets it together soon!

Mike just keep bringing your glove, the hitting can wait for later.

Mikey we all believe in you

 

Just go out there and have fun, sooner or later it will all click

1 hit today Mike! Get that swing back!

All the luck too my favorite Marlin of all time, and IMO move Mikey back too the #3 spot! He needs too be 3 4 or 5! I think part of the reason is BECAUSE hes hitting deep in order.. its not doing him any good not seeing the action.

LET'S GO MIKEY! *clap clap clapclapclap*

I think I know how to get Mike out of his funk. They need to start playing Party up by DMX, ever since they changed his song from the last two seasons he's been horrid.

Watching Mike today it is apparent his balance is totally out of whack. Just about every swing he ends up with his back foot on home plate. He has now spread out his feet more and is squatting a bit more. I don't know what kind of adjustments they are trying, but it looks like he is getting worse and worse from a mechanics perspective.

I was thinking the same thing at the game today Maxx... :thumbup

 

Seriously though every time I've seen Mike in a slump before, he gets out of it by trying to take the ball to the opposite field or up the middle & tries not to pull everything so much.

:bump

 

 

 

 

GO MIKEY... Good Luck today

let's go mikey lowell!!! You can do it!

Mike, relax and play baseball!

Mike should take some comfort in knowing several other key hitters in the NL East are off to a slow start

 

Jim Thome - .233

Andruw Jones - .185

Rafael Furcal - .218

Johnny Estrada - .220

Mike Piazza - .200
