I have a theory on Yordan
So I have a lot of experience with baseball (good and bad) and have some credibility to speak on why yordan looks bad/lost lately. It’s by design. Hear me out. This explanation makes the most sense to me.
I played in the minors and anytime somebody is slumping like Yordan is, the most common advice is to simply watch pitches. It really does work because when you’re slumping, you lose your idea of the strike zone completely, and when you’re so focused on that, your timing gets fucked as a result. This also results in being late on fastballs and swinging at breaking balls in the dirt because it takes too long to recognize if a fastball is a strike and then when you’re late, you try to speed up your swing which makes you go fishing way too often.
It became obvious he’s trying this when he got a 3-0 count yesterday, then struck out on 3 straight fastballs without taking the bat off his shoulder the entire AB.
Look at that! As I’m typing this our yord and savior blasts one into the second deck! Let’s go! Hopefully the slump is broken!!
Edit – Singleton have you lost your damn mind brother?!??!
