Really think Ortiz was the only thing keeping Hanley engaged. Dude seems to have completely gone back to dogging it this year. Or have you considered the possibility that his shoulder isn't right and it's affecting his performance? Is that even a remote possibility or is it easier just to say he's dogging it and doesn't give a crap?

Yup considered that for a fraction of a millisecond and then laughed to myself while shaking my head. DOGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!

The guy was hurt in 2015 and it showed in his stats, but of course it was said he dogged it. If the shoulder isn't causing any issues then why is he hitting like crap? Did he just forget to hit with the track record he has?

Don't know how he'll be by then, but yeah I guess it's possible he might not pass the physical. Saving $22 million on an aging DH would be a very good thing.

A combo of getting older and dogging it. lol at "why isn't he hitting", IDK why isn't Miguel Cabrera hitting? its not that easy chief. Pablo Sandoval used to be able to hit, now hes a bum. These things happen.

I think Hanley just hasn't adapted to the DH role yet. He seems like needs to find ways to keep engaged in the ballgame.

Pablo Sandoval used to be able to hit, now hes a bum. These things happen. Sandoval was never the hitter Ramirez was. He had some good years very early on, but he wasn't that much of a hitter, nor did he take care of his body. Not surprising that Sandoval sucks. Plus the guy never did have any concept of the strike zone. Hanley, when he's healthy, is extremely capable of mashing as he did the second half of last season. If he's healthy, he'll hit. If he's not right, he won't. It is that easy chief.

JW, I'm getting a good laugh here.

Nice 7th by the offense, nice 8th by Barnes.

Barnes with a nice 8th inning, but I would have put Kelly in.

I never said that every good hitter who has a bad year is just hurt. I said specifically that Hanley's shoulder probably isn't right, and most likely it's affecting him. He got hurt in spring training and lasted all of a couple innings at 1b. If you want to believe it's because he's a malingerer that's your choice. I think it's a tired narrative.

@ the 60 game mark, Moreland looking like a real good pick up for DD.
Will that be the case after 162?

I've actually enjoyed AJP as the color guy. Reasonably knowledgeable, and I think his brand of wiseass translates well to the booth.
