Both Gers and Osenbach have ridiculous power. A lot of their HR outs were not moon shots but line drives that go out very quickly. I guess they could use single wall bats in this case to take away a bit of the exit speed and distance but quite frankly they’re our 3 and 4 hole hitters for a reason and if they’re hitting with no one on in front of them, or don’t have the HR to hit, that is the rest of our team’s fault, not theirs.

Most times when you’re changing your swing because you’re out of home runs, you’re going to make an out because you’re trying to place the ball as opposed to still hitting it hard but hopefully not as far. From what I’ve seen over the years, there aren’t that many guys that are capable of changing their swing and still have as high a success rate with not making outs. If it goes out it goes out but don’t cheat yourself out of a line drive because you’re afraid it may go over the fence. I’d rather those two guys make an out doing what they do best rather than trying to finesse a ball somewhere and changing their swing.

Inning ending HR’s, totally different animal.
