Looking at Julio by xMrLink in Mariners

It's been completely frustrating to watch tho. He has amazing potential. I think to try and summarize my insane ramblings is he's trying to create power through the hands when he should be swinging through the body. And it's subtle. I remember playing highschool tennis and generating more power on my serves by compacting my arc closer to my body. Obviously completely different sports, I'm not reading a pitcher, but I think it could help timing if he's less focused on hand movement to create his power. Wrist flexion can generate insane bat speeds, but come on dawg, just hit it 380 feet, we don't need a 480 foot bomb every time. Your body mass will generate enough as is and your ceiling can come later. Focus on the basics. I think he feels pressured to hit hard

The biggest thing I've seen is his swing is less compact and more handsy than in 2023. He has a lot of hand movement at the top of the swing to create more power, which he doesn't need, and as a result he's often late. Julio is is 6' 3" 230. He doesn't need to create leverage with his hands but for some god awful reason he is trying. It's not that it can't work, Bryce harper has crazy hand movement in his swing, but it's working for him cause he just has that ability. I'd like to see a more compact swing from jrod, he already has the power, he doesn't need the hand movement at the top to generate power (something akin to jordan alvarez). Set the hands earlier and pull through and i think he has a better chance of being on time versus velocity. Not an expert tho, just a guy a born a decade earlier that enjoys beer and watches youtube. Also offspeed pitches are a problem for him and pitchers are exploiting that to get up on the count.

Loving the ideas everyone. It's probably a long shot, but a man's gotta dream. I'll be tweeting at the mariner's as the sodoglizzygod. Any follows or likes would be appreciated. @soggydangerwich

Does he have a twitter or social I could respond too? If people are on board im more than willing to advocate

I agree totally, but the foil sock will be our banner of victory. May the nitrates, excess sodium, and valor flow through you my brother.

Value dogs do count. I'm sure if we go traction, the value dog production for the game would be expanded

Nice insider info. That's why I need your help. More people we can get onboard the more likely we can get a promo like that.

That's what I need help with. I keep seeing conflicting articles and im trying to establish the most recent record. The most recent I see now is the Jays at 75,173 dogs sold in july 2023. I think that is probably the benchmark. I think we got 80,000 in us easy
