Ok, Kim needs to sit down with the guys and his translator and Coolbaugh and explain his method. He's unfazed by changes of speeds, whatever you give him. In fact, I'd like to see them do it before the 9th inning arrives.

Not always swinging from your heels for a home run will cut down on strikeouts.

Indeed. Even choking up once in awhile. And using a heavier bat vs. junk and slower pitchers. And moving up in the box vs them.

    • Re: pinch hitting for Mullins…Rays had lefty warming in the pen so PH O’Hearn is same side match up, so with Os leading at the time, I agree with Hyde saving OHearn for pinch hit appearance later in the game if needed.  Re: DC in the 8th, I agree with you there.  More so bc Tate threw 14 pitches yesterday and threw 8 today in the 7th inning already.  Why have him go multiple innings in two consecutive days?
    • I'm sure that if he had golfed it into the outfield for an RBI single you'd still be saying that.
    • There is a question whether he would have to give them permission to send him down based on his service time.  They are going to give Cedric more chances to come out of this funk until the All Star break as long as they keep winning.
    • Yeah. I think the Ronald Guzman experience is going to be over after today's game. One hit, three walks, an error, a wild pitch, and one out recorded today. ERA at 30. WHIP at 3.75.
    • I’m not better than that remark, which said I thought there was a decent chance this would be his best year.  Everything else I said was correct.  Mountcastle at times drives me nuts with lack of situational awareness.  Comes up today with one out and the bases loaded, one down in the 8th, with a pitcher who’s been struggling with his command.  The very first pitch he sees, he swings at a pitch well below the knees and grounds into a DP, killing the rally.  I know Mountcastle likes to golf low pitches, but he can’t do it in that situation.  Take ball one and make him throw you a pitch you’re more likely to hit in the air.     
    • He has not been the same since the hamstring injury.   I am not sure what to do with him a trip to dl or even sent down would be best and give Johnson a shot who is hitting in Norfolk could give us a spark short term possibly.
    • I think Mullins has options, so the team could demote him to AAA for awhile where he could work on his swing.  I doubt the team would consider it before the break, but the options are there.
