ZOMG !!!!!!! It's like the mets ruin everyone!!!!!!
hes such a natural. How do other teams not keep that kind of production around. Best player in the game right now. Timely hitting that leads to runs. I'm sure this will last all season.
I hate Philadelphia so much.
Welcome back to Francoeur Avenue
At first I thought you were serious and had your numbers reversed.
That said, while his swing-at-balls rate (O-Swing) still sucks, having a lower swing-at-strikes rate (Z-Swing) is not necessarily bad. His Contact and Z-Contact are real high and if that had caused a higher LD%, then he might have been on the path to sucking less. But it’s not and the tenses I’m writing in are confusing me, so I’m going to stop.

Also, the small sample size gremlin is hanging around. The explanation could be he just didn’t think one or two pitchers could find the zone with their breaking pitches and they did.

I love it
He’s taking pitches that he should be swinging at while continuing to swing at the ones he shouldn’t. Way to completely fail to understand plate discipline, Jeff.
When I read "Jeff Francoeur is Fixed..."
I was hoping he had been neutered, sparing the rest of us from any low-OBP progeny.

has finally figured it all out. Beware everyone
.

A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.

I was watching that shitshow
with a smile on my face. Once he threw that sac bunt down the first base line, I knew it was over. Apparently we’re not the only team with crappy pitchers.

Francoeur started off strong last year too
Then went down hill.
