Hochman

[Joe Shlabotnik]

I know writers don't always write their own headlines, but c'mon:

Adams' at-bat thunder will make up for any left-field blunder

And the article is filled with Hochman-isms:

But if Adams truly is the hitter many think he’s transformed into, his at-bat thunder will make up for the occasional blunder.

He lost the weight, but now, in left field, he’ll have to carry it.

But let’s be honest. Nothing in Jupiter, Fla., could prepare Adams for catching a fly back in the colossal coliseum that is a major league ballpark.

The bright lights and the spotlight. The decks that seem to keep growing as the fly ball keeps going up. The poise needed amid the noise.

So the PD no longer has any editors on staff?

I feel like Hochman is losing his edge. He should have added a Big City reference here.

The Cardinals scoured the league for a possible lefthanded hitting outfielder. Sure enough, they had one all along, somewhere inside Matt Adams.

When they talk about the back fields here, it sounds like it’s this mysterious place. It’s as if regular, proper baseball is played at Roger Dean Stadium, but on the back fields at the Cardinals’ complex, that’s like a laboratory where mad scientists cook up all sorts of baseball crazy.

Wong yearns to have his glove become golden.

He’s a zippy double-play disher and an acrobat at that.
