the friendliest player in the league..he waves at everything....

I'll have to try to remember that one.

I still think Arcia will hit, but even I am befuddled by his AB's! He swings at pitches so absurdly out of the strike zone that it looks like he completely pre determines when h will swing. While I never have been a big believer in taking a fat strike early, just to work the count, leaving you to hit the pitchers pitch, one has to have some discipline. A rule of thumb, if the catcher has to come out of his crouch to reach the pitch, you probably should not have swung at it! Btw, while Joe West should be doing high school games, I can understand his quick trigger on Hunter. Tori's long history of AB's like the one SO yesterday caused a reflex reaction. If a young player had that AB, he would be termed not ready for the bigs!

I must caveat..by saying...in the past when i have been hypercritical of Arcia he goes on a tear..should I pour it on?
