Well, I guess having protection in Ramirez doesn't mean shit. He's just so blah still. I'm feeling like we overpaid for Ethier now. Maybe when he gets into one of his "hotstreaks" again, I'll feel better about it. Hit some fucking bombs Dre!
It gets to the point where you cannot accept it. That doesn't mean platoon him, or get rid of him. It means he needs to work his ass off to get better. Hire a specialist, a hypnotist, whatever it takes to get better against lefties. It is one thing to be bad. It is another to be an automatic out.
I love Ethier, his attitude is great, and he's played the hero role for us many times in the past, but his struggles vs leftys has been painful to watch for years...it's almost an ATM out
Ethier has a .755 OPS against left handed starters, But a .659 vs all lefties. .755 isn't amazing but it's far from pathetic. What this shows is that it's basically lefty relievers who shut him down and these LOOGYs shut down a lot of lefties. I'm not saying he's good against lefties but just showing its LOOGYs who really shut him down and really that's there job but he stil has a .755 OPS against lefty starters
Picking NYY-Bos for Sunday Night baseball was one thing, but Milwaukee-Washington for the TBS game of the week? Lol, fucking east coast bias at its finest.
