bat gets great handle hitter juan knows mean settles stroke struggled swinging tony type wheels
Juan has wheels and can handle the bat pretty well. Tony knows what he is doing. Juan is the type of hitter who can do a lot once he settles in and gets in his groove. He has a great stroke down through the zone. He's not the only one who struggled early. I hadn't been swinging the bat that well either. He's going to mean a lot to this lineup over the long run.

We had our chances. We just didn't hit.

We had our chances. I think his hamstring was bothering him. There was a play when he didn't run to cover first base. There may be something there.
