Trent Grisham has bought himself more time leading off; Luke Voit expected to rejoin team Thursday
5-2 victory“It just feels good you get to contribute,” said Grisham, who was batting .134 before Saturday. “That’s the way I look at it is gratitude, honestly, just to be able to help the team in any way you can, especially when you’ve been struggling. It just felt really good to help the boys and help everybody get a win.”
“Grish is a guy that’s always hit left-handed pitching,” Melvin said. “It was more about … on-base against left-handers and Grish struggling some. We’ll see where it goes. If Grish continues to swing the bat like he’s capable of ... we’ll keep him there.”“I feel normal again,” he said. “It’s a matter of how many more swings they want me to take.”
Primarily, he has swung and missed at breaking balls away. No major leaguer with at least 28 plate appearances has missed more frequently on those pitches than Voit’s rate of 78 percent. He has missed on 53 percent of his swings at all pitches in the outer third of the strike zone or off the plate, which is the fourth-highest rate in MLB.“Whenever I would extend on a pitch, I didn’t want to get it,” Voit said. “So I … tried changing my swing and my stance and everything.
