vs. ASTROS, 5/25

[capyy]

Well done Kim. Was expecting him to poke one into LF.

[Il BuonO]

We mostly dont hit breaking pitches well,and its been a while since we have.With some exceptions.

Really? I have a specific memory of both Jones and Schoop homering off breaking pitches.

Schoop can hit a hanging slider a long way.

Professional at-bat by Kim. Hasn't started in ten days and works a walk in his first at-bat. I wouldn't blame him if he was swinging out of his shoes in that situation.

[capyy]

They want Schoop.

[Can_of_corn]

Im always confident Kim will only swing at a strike.

I don't know, looks to me like he needs some seasoning at AAA.

Threw Manny one strike?

[allquixotic]

I was hesitant to become a fan of Kim, but at this point I would gladly see him start 4 or 5 times a week.

That AB was a pleasure to watch. You'd think he would be pressing to show Buck he deserves more playing time.

[Malike]

Houston has some good pitching.

[Going Underground]

Anoher night of strikeouts ...3 already in the second inning. God awful.We have to take the bad with the good i guess.

That is a fact of life.

Buck seems pretty impervious to that.

Fangraphs has Correa as the worst defensive SS in baseball over the last 2 years.

[Can_of_corn]

I wouldnt mind the strikeouts as much if these pitches were strikes.

Well when they raise the strike zone next year a third of those strikeouts will become walks.

Won't that be more exciting?

Only because Jeter has retired.
