Joe Siddall

And it looked to me like he was making a conscious effort to do something that I feel is imperative as a hitter that,

really whenever hitters have problems, the first thing I look is the forward move.

If you can't control your forward move, you're getting out of it.

You're getting out front and all heck breaks loose because then you start rushing, you're playing catch up.

All those bad phrases hitters talk about.

He looked like he was barely striding and I'm not talking about spreading out, not striding.

I'm just talking about controlling that move and really allowing yourself to turn and stay behind the baseball.

i mean we we need to be in a cage to talk to each other and demonstrate but kev you know what i mean stay behind the baseball using the big part of the ballpark and again that's mentally your approach is using the big part of the ballpark because it allows you to stay on the ball and behind the ball better i thought i saw something in bp the day didn't go great yesterday didn't go go great but

It takes time.

Maybe he's slowly on to something.

But after watching again last night, do you see baby steps?

Yeah, because he's flatty.

But man, he was so confused that first at bat.

I think he is just out thinking himself right now.

And, you know, you're trying to rectify problems against some of the best pitchers because these rays are just nasty.

I mean, it's sinkers in its sliders away.

It's just not a lot of fun.

So I think it'll come.

He is who he is.

We've seen too much of it.
