Take one for the team Adley

[Wavetrapper]

Back injuries happen all the time. Getting into the car, getting out of bed, whatever.

How about reporting in tomorrow that you have a sore back and could use a short stint on IL.   

Help us out here.

He won’t be on the team in a couple of years. Bookmarket.

I wonder if wavetrapper is a competitive bowler and loves Asian women.

Adley is hurting this team, let’s be honest 

[Sports Guy]

Let’s just bench/rest every player. We are bound to win more games then!

He needs to catch up to the scouting report. Needs to start looking for pitches on the edge of the strike zone early and driving them. He's failing to adjust in my opinion. I also have serious concerns about his bat speed from the left side.

Not sure why all the hate.  Adley had a bad back. This is the worst slump of his career.  Maybe some time off would be good for him.

Sorry, I misses it.   Where was it reported that  Adley has a back injury?

[Chelsea_Phil]

That, and the inane TikTok video has not garnered him many fans as of late

He missed a game with back stiffness about 2 weeks ago.  So now people want to assume he has a back injury.

If he keeps playing like this,  we may not want him on the team in a couple of years.   He's so greatly disappeared in the 2nd half it's really troubling.   His defense, game calling and holding runners has all regressed imo, and now his bat is gone.   Unless he can turn it around, why would we want him in a couple of years if this is how he's going to play?

Don’t disagree. Basaillo will be next man up.

All joking aside, there’s definitely something wrong. Adley‘s stance at the plate looks very awkward. He tends to be leaning forward and swiveling his hips forward as if he has some pain in his lower back just above his pelvis.
he seems to hunch his shoulders just before swinging, as if he’s trying to make up for lost power in his hips with increased power in his shoulders. I don’t know if that’s normal or if that is how he has always looked at the plate, but it doesn’t look comfortable, and it certainly isn’t effective. Maybe he is nursing an injury of some kind? Being bad for so long is a problem in itself, but what is worse is the difference between where he is and where he was at his best.
