Yup. I have no idea. Just the hope that they are using this information to make fundamentally important improvements to certain players. Time will tell. This could easily be your run of the mill hot streak.

He pulled one for a change, that's good to see.  It's a good swing, short to the ball, I've seen him struggle with the pitch on the inside half before, if he can drop the head on those pitches more often, that'd certainly help.

 

Luke must be a happy man, Chance is yanking them out these days.

Mmmmm, I don't know.    This is a guy with 24 homers in 1852 PA in the minors.    It's not just a Norfolk thing, he's never hit more than 6 in a season at any level.   Nor does he hit a ton of doubles.    He's a high average, good OBP guy and that's fine with me.

Well, if it's from one adjustment, someone should patent it or write an instruction manual, because he went from awful to the hottest hitter (maybe along with Austin Riley of Gwinnett) in the minors.  Can the adjustment work in other fields, maybe help find a cure for diseases, balance my checkbook, make my posts witty and insightful?

Woah there fella, we are talking about adjustments, not full fledged miracles!

I'm a big believer in mechanics. Also in the new data about things like swing plane or other data that shows holes in a swing. With all of that said, there were times when I had to fight to keep any hard hit ball fair. There were other times where the pitcher shouldn't throw me a strike because I'd crush it, and none of that had to do with coaching. There's something about timing, balance and feel that comes and goes. Sisco probably feels like he cannot miss right now. That's definitely a hot streak. The only question is whether it's paired with some fundamental mechanical adjustments that can help provide better contact over time. If not, there's another deep valley around the corner.

I was just comparing Sisco’s AAA stats this year to last year, in almost an equal number of PA:

2018: 151 PA, 128 AB, 22 R, 31 H, 5 2B, 3 HR, 12 RBI, 16 BB, 36 K’s, .242/.344/.352.

2019: 142 PA, 121 AB, 22 R, 31 H, 6 2B, 7 HR, 25 RBI, 16 BB, 30 K’s, .256/.366/.479.

Kind’ve funny that the runs, hits and walks are exactly identical to last year right now (in 9 fewer PA) and doubles are only off by one.   The biggest difference is in the HR department, and of course that reflects the change to the major league ball in AAA this year.

Maybe, but it seems like a small sample size to make such a conclusion.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      There’s a good chance McCann starts game one with Burnes. Big roster. We can always move Adley from DH to C late in the game. Lose the DH, but have a big enough bench to just pinch hit and double switch to hide the pitcher’s spot coming up.  So really we’d only be sacrificing 2 ABs from O’Hearn/Mounty/Kjerstad but we get Burnes throwing to his boy every pitch.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      We would have lost last night regardless due to zero runs scored by the offense. It is worrisome that Cano looked awful in back to back games. After talk about arm soreness. He has been the one reliable guy. Once we fell behind I don't really care how bad Bowman and Baker are. Hopefully they don't even make the roster for the playoffs.

      Don’t sleep on Povich getting a chance to eliminate the team that traded him away. That kind of stuff matters. The little extra…

      I do worry about the McCann start although he has been hitting lately, so maybe you can justify it.

      It’s the 7th inning with Burnes or Eflin on the bump. A tough lefty is coming up. Who you bringing in?  Perez or Coloumbe?

      My thoughts: - I agree that the Achilles heel is the bullpen and not the offense (especially with Westburg, Mountcastle, Urias, and Kjerstad back). - I also agree that Perez is overused in high leverage situations. This is going to come down to the degree you expect his “clutch” performance to be predictive going forward.  - I second the notion that most good bullpens are built with some degree of dumpster diving.  If you go back to offseason threads, there were not many desired bullpen FA targets (outside of unrealistic ones like Hader) that would have worked out well.  Maybe we haven’t “dumpster dived” well enough as evidenced by the success of Kaleb Ort in Houston. - Jacob Webb hasn’t been sharp since returning from the IL and Bowman has looked shaky his last few times out. - We don’t have a true closer, only a group of mostly effective set-up men in Dominguez, Cano, and Coulombe. - Part of me wishes they would be more aggressive with G-Rod and the Mountain. While we expect the team to continue to contend, you never really know how many times you’ll be back in the playoffs. However, I know in my head they are probably making the right decision. - I also feel like they should be auditioning McDermot, Selby, Young, or Strowd (who has been very good since August after rough Norfolk start). They could option Baker who I think is unlikely to have a path to trusted status after last year’s ALDS performance. This feeling may be mostly driven by dissatisfaction with the current state and wanting something better.  It might be unrealistic to expect options unproven at the MLB level to suddenly step in and be key playoff pieces.

      Oh if we’re talking about what they will do, I can see it being something stupid like McCann at C and Adley at DH. I do think Mullins has enough veteranosity to outweigh Hyde’s obsession with L/R matchups.
