I'm beginning to get concerned about EDLC. He is watching a TON of pitches that are right down the middle. Makes me fear he can't even identify the off speed pitch, let alone hit it. Hopefully, this is just a case where he's pressing and needs a night off to reset but, for the time being, he is striking out way too much and it's beginning to disrupt this offense.

Agree on Elly. He's watched several pitches including 2 or 3 first pitch strikes that are perfect thigh high right down the middle and it's like he's just mesmerized by them. Then swings at the next pitch that's like damn near in the dirt.

The encouraging thing today was on his one hit it was a good level swing and he didn't swing out of his shoes. I believe he needs a day off to reset as well.
