Harden is gonna have 12K's today

nice start to the game
baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out
Wow, went off to do other things, and come back to see Reed has hit a bases loaded triple?

It is not just his non-performance
it is also that management over-reacted, and used money from DeRo and Woody for this guy that has done nothing for a month. All so there can be another “LH”. It also has screwed up the bench.

Pitchers have him figured. He and Perry will work on it, and at some point the old Soto will be back
no but I dont really believe that
the likes of Mike Hampton has “figured” out Soto. He had a lot of success last year in a lot of atbats. I would say Soto is missing pitches he hit last year. Have pitchers also “figured” out Milton and Lee?
