Posey

The first inning today, Buster Posey's first at-bat, was a perfect example of why Buster infuriates me!

Joe Musgrove is on the mound, he liked to throw Cutters and Sliders. So instead of trying to take the piss the other way post he's pulling off of a slider and grounds weekly into a double play.

Why was he not looking to right field in the first place?

He's been an outstanding player, no question but he does this crap all of the time and it flat-out infuriates me!

All too many times he's just not ready to hit

Not a good look when the team hits four home runs and loses. Looks like the Padres were doing more of the grinding than the home team yesterday.

I don't have the numbers, but just on the "eye" test, Wade squares up more balls by at least twice what Posey squares up.

Wade is seldom off balance, Posey is, all too frequently.

In some games/too many games, it's almost every at bat.

It's my GUESS that the reason for this is that he is guessing WRONG a ridiculous amount of time, because when he guesses right, he's still a good hitter.
