I guess you didn't have enough Forsythe to see that joke coming...

The other kids used to call me Foreyes. Until I got glasses, then they called me Eighteyes.

That was pretty hilarious. I didn't know a professional athlete could be that uncoordinated/unathletic.

They're doing some seriously weird things!

Agree, these guys are still kids. Baseball doesn't jive too well with this instant-gratification focused society. Sano coming up and putting up video game numbers last year just makes it that much harder to watch him go through adjustment periods.

Sano is an interesting case right now, though. You have to wonder if he would be performing this poorly if he just DH'd all year. IMO, I don't think so. I think they really screwed with his confidence this year. He's at the point now where he is trying to force it.

As for Trevor May, that guy needs to get with a sports psych. Although, it's kind of fun to watch him get all worked up and unravel every other night.

Sano's problems this years seem to directly align with his playing in the field.  If playing either in Right Field or 3rd has screwed with his confidence, they need to trade Sano a quickly as possible.  Or DH him, where he doesn't need to think so much.
