That's almost a Sisco for Holliday.

I agree his timing seems off. That is why I was saying he might have a bit too much of a leg kick. There are some who can get away with it in the majors, but others have had to adjust.

Gunnar was bad but it was mainly because he was too passive. He often would watch a strike or two and then try to hit. That isn’t what is going on here. Admittedly Holliday seems to get a lot of tough pitches but he also seems to basically miss them off

True but it’s one thing when you foul a few off and then strikeout. He is often not even fouling off balls.

I am sure this will work itself out but I am really surprised with a guy that is supposed to have the hit tool that Holliday has swings and misses as much as he does. This is a guy who walked and struck out the same amount in the minors. He swings and misses a ton.

Holliday may have to modify that leg kick and make it into a little more of a toe tap. His timing is off. He isn’t as extreme, but Ohtani had to drop his leg kick when he couldn’t hit in spring training. Trout convinced him to do it.

You won’t have to worry about him for too many more weeks.

Oh, I didn’t have a guess.

What am I missing that makes the story unlikely? Is it that no one seems to have stolen many bases on that team?

Not suggesting moving him now, but he will go as a free agent when that time comes. There is just too much at the farm.

Not close. Remember how many balls down the middle Davis watched?

I truly wonder as these guys come up whether the Orioles will get anything of significance for any of the vets. Mounty should have some value to someone.

Better start working Mayo at first.

Second hit for Holliday coming up soon

One of those Bs is not like the others.

Not a lot of guys in the pen that can throw over 30 pitches.

Ramirez has been a nice pickup. Big Mike is definitely behind him.

I thought this was a joke but he was +3 coming into the game. I can’t remember any particularly impressive plays. Meanwhile Gunnar is -1 and seems to make plays that impress me every other day.

Gunnar is -1 somehow.

Someday Holliday is going to look back and laugh on how tough this was. For now though, it has to be rough.

He had a long break between innings.

This might end up getting McCann off the snide. He hasn’t won as a catcher this year I don’t believe

I am not convinced the Adley is always the best choice to DH on this team.

I bet they did. Try to help him with his confidence.

I never want a slow team again. This team is so much more fun than the 2012-2017 teams.
