It's like Ed said, Jax has fallen in love with his slider. It's not a pitch you throw 60% of the time, yet he does anyway. Alcala has been inconsistent in his return. It may take some time to get it back.

Overreliance on a slider is the sign of an injury.

Yes it is. They think they are hiding the injury from management, so throwing sliders doesn't have an emphasis on decreased velocity.

No it isn't. The slider is the most stressful pitch on the arm. They aren't going to deal with arm pain by throwing the pitch that causes the most arm pain.

5 hits 7 runs in an inning in STP today for Winder. Nearing the end of the line again.

Hitting is coming around I think. Stroman cam into the game with an era around 1.5 and they pounded him. Kirilloff really helps and Correa seems to have broken his slump.

Gallo is what Sano could have been with a modicum of discipline. Gallo doesn't chase crap that's a foot off the plate. As a result his OBP is about 130 points higher than his average. You live with the strike outs becaus he will get on base, hit big HR and play great defense at multiple positions.

Wrong...Gallo wanted to stay in.....Rocco says he is playing tonight. Seems like someone wanted Grossman instead.

Which would you rather have?

Have fun with that. I'm not spending any more money to see a guy bat around the Mendoza Line. He's making $11-million to bat .202. The Twins would be better off giving $11-million back to the city to house the homeless and make the neighborhood look better.

Status: offline 		Apparently Gallo only has a good at bat if he hits a home run. Silly me, I thought any time you got on base was a successful AB. Gallo also has 6 doubles and a triple, but I guess those don't count. Despite the low average, his OBP is .318 to go with a SLG/OPS of .564 and .882.

Yeah, he only does something good once every 11 AB.

Marlins WITH Arraez 3.44 runs per game, # 30 in MLB.

He's second on the team in OPS behind only Kiriloff (small sample size). But Okay.

Arraez: 37 Games. 14 Runs, 14 RBI.
Gallo: 32 Games: 17 Runs, 21 RBI.

Which guy is having a bigger impact?
