Yordan say, “fuck you i do it myself!”

And Abreu takes a 87 MPH spinner for strike one.

I’m starting to hate him.

My Sweet Yord

That swing by Abreu for the K was quite pathetic

To the 9th…3-2 Astros

Exactly what I’m talking about. It was all arms, no lower body engagement at all.

It’s pitiful to watch, and not going to result in any power.

I can’t remember who it was, but somebody with the org said much the same recently

If Abreu’s swing is all arms with no back leg as a brace, that seems very fixable. I wonder if he and the hitting coaches agree about what is wrong. Something certainly is.

One down

The MLB.tv guy said it. DeRosa.

Someone here either reported or linked an article that said that Abreu and Cintron disagree on the issue. If I watched video if myself on one of those swings, I would know without a doubt what I was doing wrong and get to fixing it.

OR he’s hurt and can’t pivot his hips, which is just as big a problem.
