Hanley Ramirez 2012: He Gone

[Metes]

I'm starting to think the guy may need a change of scenery. He looks so disinterested at times. Maybe a postseason appearance would intstill some hunger in him.

[Ramp]

I hate the "disinterested" line. Hanley is a competitor. Dude isn't disinterested, he's just maybe not that good anymore.

[emkayseven]

or maybe he's bored like he was in AA in 05

[Ramp]

This league bores him. Next stop, Japan!

Certainly trending that way.

Since 2010 (1,030 ABs, 1,170 PAs): .790 OPS, 112 OPS+, .437 SLG, 191 K's.

Juxtaposed with his career numbers: .879 OPS, 130 OPS+, .503 SLG.

Really troubling.

[Valid]

.289/.330/.489 in May.

He's coming around. I'd still like to see him take some more walks, though.

[Erick]

His contact rates kinda suck.

Hanley's leg kick today:



versus his leg kick from earlier this year:

.

The shorter his stride, the earlier his foot comes down. If this is a designed change in his stride and not a fluky one game thing, it can only mean good things for Hanley.

Mainge, take a look at the leg kick in the first inning. Almost non-existent.

[Mainge]

I am literally doing that now.

Well I was. Can't log on to my MLB.TV for some reason.

Leg kick in the first inning:



As Madman said, there really wasn't one. Good sign IMO.

[Big Z]

I still don't know why he keeps the bat in his hand and stares the ball down after he hits it. Run Hanley Run!

[Ramp]

because he's a douche and likes to admire his handywork

[Beef]

Eduardo did it.

[Mainge]

Chances Preston Wilson is tr305?

[Mainge]

Fun meaningless split:

Away OPS is .674, Home OPS is 1.034 (604 slugging)
