Arraez is a real throw back hitter but I enjoy watching him

Add: nice piece of hitting by Dalbec there

Won't be him today because of the number of pitches he threw yesterday (wouldn't be him anyway, but I could argue for it anyway) My guess would be Sawamura. Depends on how big the lead is, of course.

I am agnostic on Dalbec — hr could bust, he could be good — but when he *does* hit, it is really pretty.
Add: and he is a kid I really root for. This has been a gutty season. Through some brutal stretches he has just plugged away.

don't look now, but Bobby Dalbec is pretty much a league average (yeah, not for a 1B) hitter.
Edit: I would have pulled the plug on him six weeks ago, and been (per usual) not right.

Turns out I wasn’t even giving him proper credit, gamecast has him at 98 with one to Donaldson So quite literally the hardest he’s thrown since he’s gotten back It started off down. Then he started overthrowing and walked a guy and hit a guy. He hit a guy with a slider. Commanding The secondaries was a bigger issue IMO Still an encouraging outing

Bases loaded no outs against a guy who is throwing 70%of his pitches for balls, JD has to bust out here right?

Another run or two I would pull Whitlock But, we sent Arauz down. What is your plan? Plawecki? I'm fine with Plawecki.

JD is in an awful hole right now - it just gets worse.

Through some brutal stretches he has just plugged away. I like the way he goes about his business. My feeling is he was getting the rookie treatment early in the year and getting into bad counts. Then he expanded his zone which caused him a lot of trouble. As most here will recall it was always assumed walks were part of his game. He had a good eye. During all that time he never tried to show up an umpire. He'd take his lumps and go back to the bench. Over the past month or so it looks like he is coming around. Maybe he's earned some respect. Still needs to work on his glove. Dropping throws is unacceptable and he should have eaten up that smash by Rizzo against the Yankees. Not an error but he's got to glove that. Weird thing is he often has balls go off the heel of his glove which shows he was "there" in time.

JD is in an awful hole right now - it just gets worse. 102 mph on a play that’s definitely gonna make top 5 plays of the week by Simmons can’t even be mad about that
