Tough loss. Stanek didn't exactly get hit hard, so it was just one of those days in the life of a relief pitcher. I'm starting to wonder how much Marte has left, though.
And what the heck is Alvy doing bailing and whaling again? He did all that work in the offseason to learn how to go to right-center, looked great doing it in Spring Training, comes back after the hamate and now he's back to his old bad habits.
I mentioned this in the Amazing Avenue forum: Alvy needs to sit down with a steady diet of Thurman Munson clips and learn how to hit like that. He's made great progress simplifying his stance. Now he has to take it another step and simplify it even more, and then contain his swing.
If he does that and goes inside-out to right-center on a regular basis, he'll end up somewhere around .280 on the year and hit 25+ dingers by accident.
Very frustrating game. I knew we were in trouble when they showed Stanek warming up. I think the Marte experience may be coming to an end. We need more production at DH. Let’s win it today 💪

Isn't it time to waive Marte bye-bye?
