"Wouldn't be Diggs if we didn't see him take a strike"

At this point I think you have to play someone else in right. Diggs bat is a major liability and he isn't coming out of it.  It's no longer a slump.

Yeah, we're beyond the whole "let the veteran hit out of a slump" approach.

He's an automatic out and looks absolutely lost at the plate, and they've tried everything with him from resting him midweek and to moving him all over the batting order. Ironically, I think his glove is what's keeping him in the lineup.

I think our OF needs to be some combo of Souza, Edmunson, Holt and Lovich. Wilmsmeyer is nothing more than a late game situational defensive sub.

9-3 after the Gator homer.   I'd say that is it but this team has zero quit.

We are at the Nat Bergatzi show.  I need this game to end before 7.  Technology is awesome.  Watching the game from inside NRG arena.

This streak is dead. Long live the streak.
Well, shit...

I like Haferty.  Not sure why we haven't seen him more.  Tall, lanky and has some life to the fast ball.

I said that earlier this year. He looks good.
Well, shit...

I really like him. He's got some good stuff. May be a year away but better keep him.

Horrendous.

Also, I believe we are 13th in the SEC in batting avg in league play.  Way past time for NT to GTFO.
I'm on smoko, so leave me alone.

The Holt pump fake was indeed a top 10 Sportscenter.  Like 2 I think.   I've never seen that before.

Edit. It is the top SC play.

It really might be time to either re-evaluate our recruitment of players and their hitting or the hitting coach.  Seems to be our main weakness every year and mostly what keeps us from winning it all.

Our "hitters" aren't keeping their eye on the ball. They all seem to be looking out as they swing and miss. Hand/eye coordination can't exist that way.
Well, shit...

Barton Fink

We do pull off on a lot pitches.

Awesome. The best part of that video is the look on Dumbass O'Sullivan's fat dumb face.

I've thought we've needed a new hitting coach for a few years now.

Aloy definitely does this quite a bit, and it reminds me a lot of how Slavens used to flare his head. Diggs' swing is probably the worst on the team right now.

We won't get one.

I love DVH, but unfortunately I think we're in the stubbornness phase of his tenure. Case in point - Diggs should sit, Holt should never sit again, and they should hide Wilmsmeyer's bat bag from now on.

Was there any word as to why Molina didn't pitch? I guess I missed if there was.
