That said: if the D leaves 3B open there is nothing wrong with bunting over there to send a message vs making that a part of your game.
Looks like quite a few ding dings going oppo in 2015. He isn't swinging late. He's letting the ball travel. Your post is another indication that you don't know jack about baseball.Doesnt mean he was purposely trying to hit to left field. If you are swinging late on pitches 6 inches off the plate it's going to LF.
Many of us commnet on the forum during the game. If you were here last year you know how many times I commented about Schwarber trying to pull pitches off the plate, begging him to go with the pitch. It's easy to tell an inside out swing versus a late swing and him purposly hitting opposite field didnt happen often
My hope is that all that changes this year with the new hitting coach and better attitude by Schwarber. With his power he should have plenty of hits to LF
Lots of weighted bat training going on inside MLB/MiLB team facilities in the off-season focusing on explosive moves to all fields and improving launch angles with the increased velo.Hitters are taught to hit for SLG. So normally hitters are looking to drive in the alley on their pull side because that is their power center.
Going for oppi is more of a contact hitter who are looking to slap a single. Which is equal to working a count for a walk.
Schwarber just needs to keep in his wheel house and accept his walks vs swinging at pitches that are intended to produce results that favor the shift.

LOL. I know it isn't news. Eggtrousers used to be in my signature. I can't recall specifically what his pre-game prediction of failure was on Soler, but he ended up with a game of at least 2-3 with a bomb. :lmao:You didn't figure that out until this thread?
"Dr. Loopyswing"?

Shall I continue?

This is a dumb diversion. You predicted he would fail in a particular game and he actually crushed it that night.I predicted Soler would be a bust......and he is
I predicted Soler would be a bust as a player and I was 100% right. That's more insightful than any prediction of an at bat. Thanks ProfessorThis is a dumb diversion. You predicted he would fail in a particular game and he actually crushed it that night.
Another Strawman. Not shocking at all.I predicted Soler would be a bust as a player and I was 100% right. That's more insightful than any prediction of an at bat. Thanks Professor

Perfect. No one requested your trolling in the first placeIgnored.
Don't bother, guys.
Thank god I won't have you trolling me all summer. I doubt you will keep your wordI won't bother anymore.
Nope, he just swings late and reaches for outside pitches. He has no plate discipline25% over an entire season isn't lucky or accidental it is intentional.
Just saw a video of Happ going opposite field HR. Love the guy. A better choice than Almora or SchwarberOn other note: Happ looks like that he is taking to the lead off so far. Almora not so much.
Agreed. Much better choice.Just saw a video of Happ going opposite field HR. Love the guy. A better choice than Almora or Schwarber
