Appearances
Reynolds a hit today.
Cruz the home run.
Both homered last night.
The one guy who really, that's a bigger name, not counting Horowitz, he's kind of borderline on this.
Marcelo Zuna has struggled in the early going.
Have you seen anything in his at-bats that makes you understand why that might be?
Does it mess with players' heads when they're constantly moved around the lineup?
I know Brian Reynolds at Pirate Fest a couple of years ago said, I want to consistently hit two or consistently hit third, and I just want to know where I'm going to be penciled in every day.
If you were to move a guy like Ozuna around, or we see Cruz against the lefty today batting fifth, clearly didn't impact him today.
But can that be a little bit of a mental grind for a player?
Different type of at-bats.
Kind of to veer in a little bit of a different direction just to the pitching side.
So last night, Hunter Barco, in his first outing, allowed multiple runs.
Last night allows two runs.
It ends up being a close enough game where Dennis Santana has to come into the 8th.
How difficult of a balance is it for a guy that has started his entire career, maybe has pitched in some relief outings, whether it's spring training or just he's dealt with a lot of injuries in the minor leagues, to be able to adjust to pitch in the type of situation like that sixth, seventh inning, seventh, eighth inning, when sure, you might have a large enough lead, but it's a different ramp up in preparation period, right?
Yeah.
It worked for Ashcraft.
It worked for Chandler, at least in the early goings of those sample sizes.
I just wonder, can you really, even though it works for a couple of guys, Matt, can that be the carbon copy blueprint to work for everyone?
