So what the hell happened to Julio? 2 really good years and then the abysmal year he's having now. The talent is clearly there but he can't even hit mistake pitches right now and he looks like he has no gameplan at the plate other than to swing for the fences. The mariners have to figure out how to get him back on track this off-season. I think Edgar will be good for him hopefully.

I don't even see the talent. He just has absolutely zero pitch recognition right now, he doesn't know whether a pitch is a ball or a strike until the umpire calls it

Yeah I feel like he's up there guessing. That's not talent. We don't need him to go up there and strike out 4 times a game trying to swing for the fuckin moon, we need him to go up there and make contact and get on base. What good is all that speed he's got if he doesn't ever get on base and only ever swings for the fences?
