Okay, so I'm watching Angie ask Julio about "What feels good right now". Dude crushed one, but then whiffed three times and then popped up twice against a position player.

Geno has 4 home runs tonight. Not Joking. Not talking about Geno Smith...the other Geno.
Wow, that's crazy. He's not a guy I'd expect on that list

They're in extras and there's a chance he could bat again.

I remember when Cameron hit 4,then almost made it 5 with a deep shot.
4 homers and just 5 RBI lol
When Cameron did it, he had 4 RBI. Boonie and he went back-to-back twice...in the first inning.

Yeah it seemed completely absurd to pick Julio to interview after the game. Polanco, Williamson, Castillo even JP for that one crazy play would have been a better choice.

Julio just did what he's done in 90% of at-bats this season: Swung out of his shoes on the first pitch, but this one actually made contact.

Seriously, I don't care how great his personal hitting coach is for other players in the league. It's not working. He's a mess at the plate. He needs a totally different approach, unless his goal is to be a 200 hitter who occasionally hits lucky homeruns.

I don't think it's about finding another hitting coach, he's got Kevin Seitzer, Bobby Magallanes, Edgar Martinez, Ovi Diaz. I don't think some other one is coming along and enlightening him on how to hit a baseball

Very well said and 100% agree. Tired of hearing his excuses.

Logan has a Grade 1 sprain. No Problemo. Oh Wait....

Just in 2024, for example, Nick Pivetta and Nestor Cortes only needed about a month to recover from elbow flexor strains. The former even went on to pitch another 134.2 innings, and he's still going strong in 2025
