Now, it's DeGeus turn to suck, although Amaya error to start the inning.

Max still rolling over pitches. He might kill innings batting in the 2 hole if he doesn't get untracked.
Max hit for shit in the spring every year from 2016-2019. As a matter of fact, he had exactly zero homers in each of the past four springs and ended up batting .208 last spring. Seems to me he did pretty well when it counted despite all of that...

Yes, you keep telling me that. Hope you're right. I don't focus on the HR ball in spring but hard hits for singles, doubles. Max rolling over pitches almost every AB is what concerns me.

I think how players are hitting at this point in the spring is completely meaningless. We've both seen countless examples of players whose performance once the season starts was the opposite of how they did all spring, both positive and negative.

I get a lot more worried when I see a pitcher get bombed continually in the spring unless it is because he is trying to work an a new pitch..
