It's when a hitter is seeing the ball.

I feel...

I feel like bat speed is probably more indicative than launch angle.

And when this team is at last check a few days ago, about five days ago, tied for last in bat speed with the Cincinnati Reds, that gives me a better indication of what I'm seeing on the field right now than almost anything else.

They could use that, guys.

But I don't know.

I wonder if they thought that Bellinger's refound success was a flash in the pan again because the contracts would indicate that that was the case too.

Did they think that they caught lightning in a bottle and didn't think that it was sustainable based on how he fell off after the Dodgers in the MVP season?

I feel like that may have been the case.

Do you remember, though, when we talked about the contact numbers and the barrel rates and how they had dropped off that September and we were all concerned?

The hitting philosophy is being met with a breaking ball.

I think it's all worth an examination.

Let me put a list together with Mark Grady.

appeared it's just gone we put some lists together and then life happened and things like that speaks i just can't take this conversation seriously with the car it's it's you perfectly framed yeah these are my partners not chris is talking to caleb

Of the same era, too.

I know Phil obviously was a CBS analyst.

Was Boomer, too?

Yeah, because he's been performing.

I still separate him from A-Rod just because of the whole Mitchell report.

I mean, I'm sorry, but that does matter to me if we're measuring authenticity.
