Boyle is not throwing strikes at all but goes 3 up 3 down

How insane is it that I'd be thrilled with an opposite field fly out from Vladdy at this point?

why the hell is nobody talking to his moron??? Literally the exact same swing and approach in every single at bat for the past 3 weeks! Like wtf are these hitting coaches doing man? The guy literally cant hit the ball into the air! Its ground outs to short over and over and over. Unreal.

At this point I'd rather see him just try to uppercut every swing even if he misses badly or pops up and gets caught a bunch. Tired of these flat trajectory swings, even worse when it misses.

With the exception of some 40-50 at bat hot streaks this has been a problem forever.

Get that pitch count up early, and get to some bullpen arms out of the way today.
Of course Cash will probably pitch his relievers back to back games,

Don't let Boyle of the hook, make him throw strikes.

That guy is going to give zero expletives about pitch counts today or tomorrow. He's playing to ruin our fun which is what he should be doing.

Vlad and Kirk in a competition to see who is the worst batter right now. Although Kirk only gets paid about 30% of Vlad.
(As I typed this at least Kirk makes good contact)
