00:00Oh for 16 12 strikeouts was barely making contact for most of the weekend
00:04It was so bad to the point where Dave O'Brien on the broadcast yesterday was like well
00:08He is making contact at least it's like he's a 300 million dollar player
00:14And you're patting him on the back for making light contact and all he needs to do is hit all in your hair
00:19That you focus on anything else so you can throw your glove away. I thought you could see a slow start coming for Devers
00:25I never thought over 16 with 12 K's and a record in the first three games for most strikeouts
00:31Whatever was 10 now the first three games. I never saw that Jones baseball has a long history it good
00:36It did back hundreds of years. It's
00:39You can look at the stats for
00:41Smoky Joe Wood and old Haas Radburn and even those guys never faced anybody who went over
00:4616 with 12 K's to the first four games wolf
00:49It's the worst start in baseball history at the plate and that is staggering
00:54but all you have to do is hit your
00:58batting second in what is looks like a really good lineup on paper and
01:02Just uncompetitive at bat after uncompetitive at bat everybody goes through slumps everybody strikes out in fact now people don't even care when they strike out
01:11it used to be more of like a
01:12Insult you know the number of strikeouts now it doesn't matter people are going for the fences everything else
01:16But it has been brutal just like waving at the ball
01:20It's embarrassing, and I don't know if it's like some sort of protest that he's doing or whatever
01:27But he's the one that looks really bad. He's the one that goes up to the plate
01:33Strikes out has to walk back sadly and then go sit in the the dugout after another terrible at bat
01:38So whatever the problem. I I also can't pin it all on
01:43Him not playing third if he was playing third
01:46What do you think he's 10 for 20 with three home runs, so I don't think so this is a guy which we sort of I
01:52Think kind of glossed over the fact that even before they signed Bregman
01:56He clearly wasn't in the shape to play a baseball season
02:01Before he even knew for sure that he would be the DH and not play third base
02:04Which he's so prideful in even though he's the worst defensive third baseman in the last decade those are facts right?
02:10That's not like oh
02:12Eyeball test no no he is the worst offensive third baseman of the last decade they're telling him you're not taking a pay cut
02:17But you're gonna go be the DH
