This is absolutely stunning because I watch a lot of games with the game cast on to see pitch location after the fact. He's had prolonged bouts of swinging at garbage for at least the last 3 years where he went in the tank. The moment he started taking bad pitches he got hot.

 

His OSwing% (% swung at pitch outside the zone) the last three years:

 

2017 38%

2018 36.3%

2019 38.9%

 

He's been above 36% since 2014.

 

Duh I should have checked there...

so pre 2014...O-swing 31.7

Since 2014... O-swing 37.3

Career 34.2

 

Hasn't been since 2017... its been since 2014. That helps me feel less crazy.

Grandal has been stuck on 19 homers for a while...
"Dustin Pedroia doesn't have the strength or bat speed to hit major-league pitching consistently, and he has no power......He probably has a future as a backup infielder if he can stop rolling over to third base and shortstop." Keith Law, 2006

Even that double bears this out.

Watch Braun work a 12 pitch at bat here.

 

Watch Braun swing at 2 balls and the announces gush over him poking a pitch 4 inches outside up the line.

 

It would have been ball 4 if he handed chased one earlier.

Nice AB from Braun and good usage of the bench inserting Gamel.
"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

So let's recap.

 

I jest about Braun.

You get defensive.

 

I digress.

My tone is highly mistaken around here.
