As will be well. The top of the order is coming up, they'll take a 5-4 lead.

The thing is, Kike is valuable as a role player, and we continually overexpose him. It would be nice if he could get a hitting instructor that could drill it into him that there are parts of the ballpark other than left field walls.

Just got in. What the hell is going on? Who’s hurt and how? What did Kike do wrong? Last time I did this Arroyo had fouled a ball off the plate that hit his ear but this sounds worse.

I was listening to MLB Radio the other day and they were talking about Keekay. The gist was that, in batting practice, he sprays the ball all over the field ... but when he comes to the plate in the game, it's as though he forgets all that and overswings.
One of the analysts, not sure who but a former player, said that Keekay's great run at the end of 2021 might have gotten in his head and he thinks he can be that player all the time.
Not that I buy that necessarily, but something's going on

Anyone have a link for pre-2021 hit charts?

Hey, that must be one of those "once in a Blue moon" plays that Casas practices!
