Even on the "hard" hit balls, i found that they just died. This is a guy who used to be able to hit tape measure HRs to all fields. I don't know if it's the fact that his swing is all arms, his bat speed is extremely slow, or both, but the ball just doesn't jump off his bat on the few occasions that he has squared it up. I think someone mentioned he looks smaller and I tend to agree. He almost looks like he's swimming in his jersey now. I'm not trying to infer anything about his past success but he even appears to be a shadow of his former self physically. Anyway, imagine if we played last night's game in an NL park, we'd score even more runs.
