Great work, guys. McKinney point is fascinating. From the beginning his at-bats looked so much better than the other OF fill-ins. Who knows if his numbers will stay good, but he looks like a real MLB hitter and is strong in the OF
Enjoyed linked piece about Rojas’ plan for resting regulars using advice from “performance” staff. Still...I can’t understand why a professional athlete in his 20s, coming off a ten-day IL stint, would be over-taxed to play first base every day. Keith must have spit out his coffee reading that. What, exactly, do experts think will happen if Pete plays every day, especially so soon after a long rest? He’s not catching, or logging miles in CF and running in to walls. Don’t get it at all.
Seeing Pete get hit in his elbow pad again, I am wondering:
—why doesn’t every hitter at least use the small, light guard on elbow given how disastrous getting hit there could be?
—why does club let Jake bat left-handed with the franchise arm facing the pitcher?
—at a minimum why doesn’t he, and other pitchers, use guard on pitching arm?
