I have had them getting swept by the A's on my radar for weeks
Now the As are "red hot"....

Your a hot.
If the A's sweep the Phillies, I'll walk home to Philadelphia.

Thats good Jim Rooker knowlegde there.

It's amazing to see the change in everyone's approach once a few runs are scored. They stop swinging for the fences, you see more level swings and hitting the ball where it's pitched.

If they adopted that approach more often, they'd be a more consistent offensive team.

Perhaps batting average is overrated, but Castellanos is #5 in MLB in batting average and Stott is #11

Of course, OBP is much more crucial. Our #1 guy is Castellanos at #26 in baseball. (Harper not eligible yet for leaderboard)

I think this speaks to the problem of this team not drawing enough walks, putting men on base and knocking pitchers out of the game

Harper having real problems generating home run power; more concerning is his absolute ineptitude vs left handed pitching..cannot lay off bad sliders and change-ups out of the zone and his bailing out is bothering on laughable

Just checked to ensure my impression was correct. OPS vsRHP 1.082. vs LHP .467….your witness.
