How is that even possible?? Like, once Harper was caught it should have either been JT getting to 3rd or Harper scoring. Neither happened.

To be fair, Harp f***ed up even more. No reason to get himself in that rundown at 3rd.

Little league play. Just doesn't work in the bigs.

It always worked against us in college and we spent at least 5 hours every preseason practicing against it.

Rojas and Castellanos sub-Mendoza line COMBINED. Yay teamwork.

I don't really understand why Pache has 2 PAs this season. He probably can't hit either, but he's fine defensively, and there should be nothing sacred about Rojas' playing time to the tune of 7 games to 1.

Zero reason Merrifield should play over him.

Rojas' swing looks worse than last year. All out of sync.

Nice bounceback for Nola tonight

I don't think it helps but just seems to be a convenient excuse. The human arm just isn't meant to throw balls 100 mph over and over again. Just seems inevitable every pitcher that throws this hard is going to run into this issue at least once in their career.

Someone needs to sit down with Rojas and tell him to either shorten the swing or he's out. Guy needs to be convinced to get on base, not always swing for the fences.

Yep - not sure what the hitting coachs are doing with him but he looks lost.

 

[FLYguy3911]

He was too slappy of a hitter last year. Looks like they changed his bat angle and have him sitting on his back side more. He does have good bat speed so theoretically there is more power in there, but he just seems to be flying open and getting out of whack. And i'm sure the whispers of everyone telling you you can't hit get to you at some point.

 

[Danko]

Somethings gotta change with Rojas.

What’s the floor on the average MLB pitcher’s fast ball now a days? Like what 91-93 MPH? You were hard thrower like 20 years ago with that velocity at the MLB & that was closer to the higher end.

You got kids throwing that at the high school levels now a days if they’re a potential MLB player. I don’t know if the human body is just meant for throwing that hard anymore.
