He was taking piped FBs for first strikes while squatting down hoping it was a ball

He's lost a bunch of coin tosses in a row to the point where he is lost and second guessing.

We've seen it before, just never for this long.

Gamblers get to where they have a bad run, and finally decide to bet against themselves. And it works initially.

Until they can't remember who they really liked to begin with and wonder if they aren't picking the other side.

My money is on Tuve getting hot at the right time.

He will figure it out at some point, he’s just too good. Gotta hope it’s end of September into October like you said and his struggles don’t cost them too much in the meantime

It is absolutely brutal to watch him right now

He's applying no pressure to the pitcher. He's looking fastball and just trying to crush it.. and for the most part, he's not going to get that pitch.
