Gordon is consistently putting the ball in the air now instead of ground balls every time. That can't be coincidence. He must have changed something that is hopefully repeatable and permanent.

It's amazing what small adjustments can make. The best sign is that he isn't just punishing mistakes on the inner half. He's hitting the bat hard on pitches that are away as well.

He has kept it up this year. We've seen him display an ability to adjust. The biggest positive sign this season is the increased power. He has hit for enough power to force opposing pitchers to work him more carefully, and he has taken walks as a result. I think he can consistently deliver a .750ish OPS with a solid average (.280) while playing above-average defense at 2B. That's a pretty good player, especially at the league minimum.

That can help you hit the inside half of the baseball, of course you want to have both hands on the bat at impact.

That looked like a Twins defense.

Fantastic game all around so far. Strahm was great, the hitting great, a few defensive hiccups, but when you're hitting like this, it really doesn't matter much.
Oh yeah, and screw you Anaheim. |

Amazed Moss didn't hit into a DP just to rob Alex a chance at the cycle.
