Nonsense.  You mean to tell me 9 hits and 2 runs in 23 innings is slumping?

Nah, probably just a combination of bad luck and facing elite pitching.  You have to remember that this is a team so full of good hitters that there's no room to promote guys who are feasting on minor-league pitching.

I think you are right.....I have first hand knowledge that Wieter's didn't want Dempsey's input or advice.

I remember Caleb having a bat first reputation in the minors and working with Dempsey on his throwing.

But that was a decade ago, so maybe I'm wrong.

....even though Henderson, Rutschman and Westburg actually were promoted and ALSO feasting on minor league pitching at some point.  Ortiz and Stowers feasted to an extent as well.  It's not the lack of promotion that's the problem.....
