Ryan O'Hearn with two weak popups and a strikeout looking at a pitch right over the plate tonight (which he stared down the umpire about even though it was clearly the correct call). What else does this dude have to do to get the boot? [Reply]

Yep, needs to keep trying to go with the pitch and slap it around, not try to power it! Swinging lately like he started the season, hitting to all fields. [Reply]

That boy is built like he can hit it a mile! Tall, long swing, has good balance through his swing. The only thing I can think is his problem is he's just not picking up the ball as it leaves the pitchers hand or just losing it on the way to the plate!
That guy is built just as I was back in the day. But I could hit the damn ball for power and average. [Reply]

He can hit it a mile. But the problem is that he usually misses.
I don't know what happened. In his rookie season he had 12 HR and a .950 OPS in 44 G. Since then, he's OPSing at Alcides Escobar levels. [Reply]
