Chris Iannetta

[Docwaukee]

It's time he gets his own thread.  

 

We have seen a lot of struggling players trying to find their way over the years, but what is happening with Chris is about the worst I an recall.  

 

I haven't seen him hit a ball hard.  It's either an ugly whiff or an ugly pop out.  

 

It's actually been quite impressive.

Carlos Perez and/or Jett Bandy tiiiiiime. 

[Corona]

He's been terrible behind the plate too. He missed that passed ball that nailed the ump by a mile, something needs to happen.

In before some other poster says it, .....give him an eye exam.  If that doesn't help, maybe an enema.

Any chance they can put him on the DL so they can bring up Perez, keep Butera and give Ianetta time to figure out what's going on?

[QuinlansMinion]

Its okay we need Ianetta for his defense anyways.

[CaliAngel]

Conger! Where are you?!

 

Yah he's not doing well with the Astros in 7 games *rolls eyes*, but I would have given him full time catcher position for the Angels in 2015 over Iannetta any day.

Three steps to ending this thread:

 

1. Players sometimes start slowly and/or slump.

2. Every player declines at some point or another, and 32 isn't an uncommon time to fall apart.

3. On May 2 it is too soon to say the latter, so we're left hoping he figures things out. Unless he's actually injured he's not being put on the DL or pushed aside for Bandy or Perez. We can check back in a month.

 

What more can be said?

You know it's bad when the pitcher hits better than the catcher

Steve Finley 2.0

For whatever reason this slump is in Ianetta's head. It's apparent since it is effecting him behind the plate as well. The guy looks completely lost right now. He'll get better and snap out of it but it's getting pretty old

[eligrba]

I miss Jeff Mathis.

[Stradling]

Yea I don't know what is wrong with him but at this point it's mental, he isn't this bad. As far as the past ball is concerned he asked for a slider towards the outside part of the plate and Smith threw a fastball that tailed in, those things happen.

Remember those 'sick' lineups with Iannetta batting 2nd?

[DMVol]

You could probably trade for this guy:

Nobody does it better than Mathis.

[stormngt]

He needs to get an injury so he can rehab in the minors and get his confidence back.

[Slegnaac]

We just need the schedule to have more day games after a night game

Give him credit. He did hit a weak fly ball to right field last night.

[gurn67]

Even Victor pointed out last night that he's now letting his offensive struggles affect his defensive play. This is his contract year too. The longer this goes on, the more it's going to get in his head.

[Biergott]

[tdawg87]

This slump has reached critical levels and I'm starting to wonder if it's even a slump. Something is seriously wrong with this guy.

[JAHV76]

It looks like he's out of the lineup today. They should sit him the rest of this series.

[Ohtaniland]

Fun times...
