I want this guy to succeed so badly, but he can be so frustrating to watch at the plate. How many times in his career has he swung at the curveball out of the zone and tried to pull it, and hit a weak dribbler to the left side or K'd? Yesterday he got an infield single out of one, but it was a bad swing. I'm starting to just think he is what he is at this point. He looks like a guy that tries so hard and presses so much, when if he would just relax and try to let his quick hands to the work, he could mash. The pop up with runners on 1st and 3rd yesterday with one out, is a prime example of how frustrating he can be....quit trying to hit everything out of the park, and just do a job and get the rbi without hitting into a double play. We really need this guy to have a big year if we're going to have one. I'm rooting for him, bc I feel like he's putting so much pressure on himself to live up to the hype, when I wish he could just relax and have a great year.
Hope he has a big game today and a big season. He seems like a good kid
