J.D. Martinez should have been called out for being out of the batters box. Awful stuff to see a guy injured so badly by this bush league play pic.twitter.com/pBpDto76Ws

That swing was so bad I literally lol'd. Just DFA the mother****er already. Either his hand eye coordination or bat speed is so far off he is way outmatched at the plate right now. Though my guess is its about 80% mental 20% age related. He just cant wrap his head around the age related adjustments he needs to make. [Reply]

The evidence being his foot behind the white chalk of the left handed batters box from a camera angle behind home plate? Interesting. If the idiot who tried to play detective bothered to take the still frame from after the swing when Martinez's foot is pivoting, you can see white chalk where he was planted, or just bother to look at how the front of the boxes line up from that angle and realize the left side box sits farther forward than the right side.
