Kennedy has played a little bit at first too.

Meadows does have the lowest BABIP on the team, only .132, so there might be some bad luck involved. He has the highest strikeout percentage on the team too, 37% which is bad.

Whatever he's doing, he's doing wrong. Not using his legs? Did he learn anything from Miggy? Cabrera was just a shell of himself once his legs started betraying him. Hitters need a good foundation to drive the ball.

That's what I noticed from the interview. How can his approach be the opposite of everyone else? If he had a 900 OPS at some point then I understand it but he hasn't.

He's had 100+ AB this season. It's been obvious how he is being pitched and he's not adjusting -either won't or can't. Depressing either way.

That interview was a month ago and one of them is a top performer in the league and the other is one of the worst in the league. Still a long way to go but if it were me, I would try copying what Greene is doing.

Two things stick out to me in hindsight. First, this article predicted Greene's performance this year:

https://blogs.fangraphs.com/these-three-hitters-can-hit-their-peak-projection-in-2024/

Second, when Tork and Greene appeared on MLB Network while they were going to play the Mets, they talked about their hitting approaches. Tork's approach was the opposite of Greene's and the opposite of any other hitter the host had ever talked to. Maybe now would be a good time to re-evaluate his approach.

Madden pitching to the score in the first. He gave up a grand slam. 6-4 Toledo.

Toledo scores six in the first. Madden making his AAA debut.

I didn’t get TV this year. So, can you still see player’s underpants or was that just ST?

Still see through until next year.

Mikolas 67 pitches already and they used most of their bullpen yesterday.

Vierling crushed the hanging curve.

Tork rips one to right.

Hey ump, how many fingers am I holding up? It's just one. A special one for you.

Keith did something!

Have to put Greene, Canha and Perez in the top three. Nobody else has an OBP over 310.

That sucks.

I'm a little skeptical Malloy's profile is going to play in the majors. His value depends too much on his walk rate and MLB pitchers just are not going to walk him at those rates, regardless of how good his eye is. If he develops the power to get some of those walks back because pitchers are afraid of him, that can work.

Lack of position seems like a big problem too.

Meadows, Keith and Tork all need to be sent down. Not sure who replaces them, but this team can't continue to basically gift opponents 9+ outs every game.

Kennedy and Baddoo are both on the 40 man with over 800 OPS. Gipson-Long could be put on the 60 day IL so someone else could be added to the roster. Malloy and Hiura are hitting well.

Winning Aprils are fun.

Or have Faedo pitch 3+ innings. He can do it.

Olson says at least you got one.

Double header day. Get twelve runs for Bert.

Everybody calm down... gotta love Jason Benetti.
