Why would he have done that, he is awful against lefties I can't see how batting right would be anyworse then he is now. It looks like he just mails it in vs lefties. |
Maybe he was as bad from the right side vs. lefties, as he is from the left side vs. lefties. I don't know, didn't check the stats. Isn't uncommon for people to abandon switch hitting to swing from one side and try to refine their approach. Juan just looks like he's abandoned everything right now.
Did anyone else notice him falling over in the box his last three AB's? Was a strange sequence of events. His swing reminds me a lot of Prince Fielder's with a 1/2 of the results.
