Doc just took all the pressure off of Max Muncy by announcing the following:
“The results haven’t been there consistently, I’m aware of that. But I do think that stuff under the hood has shown better for me. … I’m going to continue to give him runway. I certainly still expect quality at-bats, but right now, I’m gonna ride with Max. … It’s gonna be that way until it’s not.”
— Dave Roberts
I have been calling for Max to sit, and while what Dave Roberts just said is just the opposite, I agree with it.
