Steve isn't wrong that he swung at balls. But they were nasty sliders thrown in hitters counts. You want your best hitters getting a pitch they like and putting a good swing on it. The sliders sure look like the pitch Santander wants to hit when he starts swinging. Then they disappear. This wasn't like Adam or Schoop sometimes flailing at sliders that seemed like balls out of the hand, IMO.
I don’t recall a problem watching Santander’s at bat. Can’t say any thing for sure.

Hitting is hard. I know that seems dismissive but it’s true and for the most part I can say that yeah it’s true to be hard.

That will work. Sometimes better to be lucky.

Adley: A homer, a double, a single and a walk in four plate appearances. Not a bad night's work.
