There must be something in that dugout, like the sewer gas in the Coliseum, that seeps into the bats.

Guys show up, and lose their juju. A drab cloud, dragging down their energy, like warm-up weights around their ankles.

I'm about as big a Yaz fan as you'll find easy of the Rockies that doesn't share some DNA with him but yikes his at-bats look wrong. Where is the dude that was pulling 425-footers to right field and what can we do to get him back?

Estrada meanwhile is an even bigger mystery to me. I have to believe he will get his mojo back but right now he looks like he's pressing way too hard. That strike-out rate is giving "panicky doofus" in a way that's not befitting this guys ability.

In short, Take Bob Melvin to a farm ( Sacramento?) upstate
