I was not aware that when we traded for Maldo he was in the midst of an 0-20+ slump. We didn’t acquire him for his bat of course, but he likely feels right at home in the clubhouse.

It’s an improvement to hammer a hanger before striking out on a slider over the recent tendency to take fastballs down the middle before striking out on a slider.

Yeah, that's because everybody knows that there's nobody hitting that can hurt him. Just chunk it in there and let them get themselves out.

Yuli can roll out of bed and hit line drives blindfolded.

He'll come around. But it's been painful in the meantime.

Dear Marwin,

You are a fastball hitter.

That means when they throw you a fastball in the middle of the zone, you should hit it

Preferable hard.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
