That one is REALLY gonna piss some people off around here. why don't the Dansby haters come out at a time like this Eh... All this will possibly do is get someone to somewhat rightfully say one good night doesn't erase 2+ months of bad, and ensure they will pop back out to make more comments the next time he strikes out again. Just be happy and let Dansby's bat defend him (or not) So you’re saying you think Dansby will strike out again someday? HATER!

Props to Dansby for executing, but he got the only two pitches he can hit. A fastball on the inner third and a hanging breaking ball on the inner third. I don’t know why anybody ever throws him anything in the inner part of the plate, it’s not like they have to keep him honest, but I hope some pitchers keep doing it. Because if they only went away then he'd just start hitting the ball the other way with regularity, cause he'd know what's coming. That would be true for most hitters but we’ve seen him prove he won’t on a steady basis. Especially the breaking balls away. Look at his heat map sometime. He can and will hit inside pitches, there’s no doubt about that. If they need to keep him off balance in they need to make the pitches not hittable, just throw away set ups, because he will drive the ball if it’s in.

I'm celebrating winning, especially when it is in part made possible by a struggling player who worked hard to improve and did what he is paid to do, even though he knows he has more to learn...after the Rockies series, that's a lot more fun.

Hitting pitches going away isn't just a Swanson problem, many hitters have that issue. If it were just as simple as only throwing away then pitchers would be doing it already.

Hitting pitches going away isn't just a Swanson problem, many hitters have that issue. If it were just as simple as only throwing away then pitchers would be doing it already. Byrd saod the same thing. He said Dansby clearly had a slider recognition issue, but many hitters do as it is the hardest to pick up. The issue is that if you can't hit the slider then you have to mash the fastball and Dansby had been struggling with that as well in part because of the lingering wrist issues. He webt on to say Dansby told him about 10 days ago the wrist was finally feeling 100%. I don't know if it's true and if Dansby is coming around or not, but I am just enjoying him having a little hit streak going.

Gausman excellent thru 8! What a great AA deal he is, so far outdoing Archer for a Much lower price and frankly I had never heard of Gausman before the acquisition
