Well it took 224 consecutive AB's for that first HR, glad to see him follow it up w/another so he can increase his trade value!

Ugh ... this freaking chubster. It's really hard to fathom how a guy can hit like an All-Star for almost 3 straight months and suddenly abandon that approach. Is he preoccupied with the upcoming annual Nathan's hotdog contest? Did he switch to lowfat ranch?
He's still only 26 but you just can't consistently go 300abs in between home runs and expect to be an MLB impact hitter if that's your only potential upside. Hopefully that was a one-time anomaly.
I still don't understand why Oli pulled him from the lineup last week with a string of righties on the mound when Alec had just gone 5 for 8 over his last 2 games. He seemed to be heating up then.
But, as we've known for some time now, momentum is a nuance that's clearly lost on iPad AI--errr, I mean Oli.
Keep swinging, eating, hitting... whatever, Alec

Oli doesn't like to upset the rest of the order. Burleson isn't "the best bat"Cranny wrote: ↑05 May 2025 20:12 pmSome teams go with the best bat.
