Some nights he looks like he doesn't care.  

I actually think Mountcastle has been trying his best all year. He's just a relic from a bygone era of hitting development in this organization. And he's physically gifted enough that he gets by on that.

I've seen a fair amount of Hicks with the NYYs. This is ridiculous. 

Some players super-achieve in the Bronx, others wipe out. Remember Ed Whitson? He always looked terrified on the Yankees despite coming over after a good season with the Padres. Once he returned to SD a few years later he was good again--in fact, much better than before. Fine 15-year career.

Ballparks I want to visit even though I don't want to visit the cities

PNC Park - Pittsburgh

Great American Ball Park - Cincinnati

Miller Park - Milwaukee

Been to Pittsburgh and it's a great ballpark. Maybe second to Camden Yards for me.

    • Not trying to be naive or contradictory, but are we sure that he's swinging at bad pitches?  
    • I tend to agree, I'm not convinced. Cowser had hand/nerve stuff and continued to play his game. Westburg broke his hand, came back, and looked good. Not sure why getting hit on the hand suddenly made Adley swing at trash out of the zone. 
    • I hate that Adley getting hit on the hand is the excuse why he kept playing and his season went down the crapper, yet Italian Breakfast gets hit on the hand, breaks his thumb and works his ass off to get back to his team in time for the playoffs.    I’m a 50% believer that Adley getting hit on the hand is the reason that he was so bad towards the end of the season, but it still doesn’t explain the drop in OBP. He’s getting down to Adam Jones levels of on base percentage.  His approach seems to be totally different than when he first came up. A hurt hand doesn’t have anything to do with that. 
    • I watched both the Elias and Hyde press conferences in full and they both get weird around the Adley question. You can feel the hesitation on saying it's not an injury, and the way they kind of squirm around the question. If we can point to the HBP then surely they can do and would have done MRIs if Adley still felt iffy after the x-ray. Unless he's truly hiding it. But it sure feels like all parties know about something and for some reason that makes no sense to me, they aren't divulging it. 
    • They might not even know. Initial x-rays were negative, it's possible that Adley thought he could just play through it and maybe it wasn't painful, just fatigued? Who knows. But unless Adley tells them (assuming they're not hiding it), nothing they can really do. Wonder if Adley just felt the All Star Break was coming up, so he'd just deal.  I think it's way too obvious of a data point to ignore, personally. 
    • One interesting thing is I think he homered later that game and it was his last for a while. 
    • Roster-wise and money-availability-wise, yes, the Orioles are the best fit of the 30 teams.  Location-wise and track-record-of-spending-wise, not so much.  I kind of think SF is the team. Posey just meddled in the terrible signing of Chapman, as former player GMs often do, and I could see him going hard after a big signing and overpaying like hell for him.
