Cain's plate discipline has been miserable this year.

 

Yep. Lost his eye from a year ago and it’s killed this team this season.

 

Good eyes out there in centerfield at the wall though.

[folly412]

Didn't lose his run-stealing ability though. That's a catch.

He's sees everything out there... We could bat him 9th. He could be worse than Arcia... that defense though.

 

Good grief.

 

I mean I hope no Cain fans think I'm bashing the guy. He can suck at the plate and War positive. He just shouldn't bat 1st sucking at the plate. Love the guy in CF, but he's useless at the plate this year.

[markedman5]

One of Cain's best......and that's saying a lot.....wow

[B-Train]

Boy, is that fun to watch Cain’s timing out there.

[sveumrules]

Now THAT is why you bat Cain leadoff!!

Lol... bat him 9th and let him do that even if he's hitting .100.

[Diamondbacks]

Moooooose

[Diamondbacks]

Good job, Braun, you got bailed out, dont fail again.

[B-Train]

Moose should have scored if the first baseman caught that.

Ya. But it SHOULDNT be a problem to score him.

[Diamondbacks]

Good job Braunie

[PinaMadness]

Good to hear the D-Back fans shouting MOOSE whenever Braun comes up to bat.

[wallus]

Remember that we scored with a runner on third with no outs....

[TJseven7]

Well... karma was on our side. Moose shoulda scored on his hit. Dumb park.

[Diamondbacks]

Another rocket by Keston. To bad it was an out.

[wallus]

Hiura's contact has that special sound

[tomwopat]

Sure this has been said before, but the authority that Hiura is making contact is increasingly reminiscent of Braun's rookie year.

[B-Train]

At some point Hiura is going to be so highly thought of, that there won’t be any comparisons -his swing reminds me of.... I can’t think of a guy with that type of compact swing and inside out ability to get his hands through and barrel up the ball especially on the inner half of the plate. Very impressive.

Yes sir. Kinda like Griffey Jr.

I’m thinking it was more like Travis Shaw.

[wildcat83]

That was a big jump. Jeesh.

Sheffield without all the waggle.

Griffey Jr without the tall stoic stance.

Higher pitched hallow ball sound... bat speed is different than Shaw.
