Why do the commentators always pull on Corey's DICKerson?  This "tough out" thing is approaching the Wes Helms "professional at bat" thing.  Ok, I'm done complaining about Corey.

Yeah I'm with you.

I don't care if he averages 8 pitchers per at bat, get on base.

Solid inning!

This team really needs to improve on hitting with RISP

 

Jesus Sanchez has walked in two consecutive plate appearances.

He's on fire.

Loving what I’ve seen so far from Sixto! Great stuff and a great presence on the mound

Kiebloom Carter, is Todd dyslexic?

BA left an 0-1 92mph fastball go by cause this “take it the other way” approach that is obviously being preached is getting in peoples heads (BA and Dickerson specifically) and it’s killing them

My favorite approach is "hit the ball hard somewhere."

Cervelli didn't see a single strike in that at bat ...

(sigh) Oh well.

Definitely lol I’m not crazy though right? They have this small ball approach that I didn’t see the first week when we were actually scoring runs. Aguilar was pulling home runs, Dickerson pulled a ball into the upper deck in philly. I haven’t seen anyone sitting on an inside fastball and just turning on it. You can’t always have that approach, but sometimes you need that aggression. Especially from some of the power bats in the lineup 

Cervelli not taking pitches for the walk screwed that inning up... Swung 2-0 after 6 straight out of the zone and then swings again at Ball 4

Sixto looked like, “damn this offense sucks.”

I think Dick's always had the approach but who knows.

And Cervelli is hurt?

I still think Rowson isn’t all he’s cracked up to be.

I thought he grimaced during his previous AB

I think we'd have a better idea in a full season.

Aw, shit-stickers.

Dammit

Alfaro already fucking up Sixto. 

Trailing 1-0 with our offense feels like a big deal right now

Come on, kid, don't let that rattle you.

Especially in a 7 inning ManFred special. 

That helps.
