“Jurel would be very disappointed with that at-bat. Yeah, that’s what happened. Hit the ball to the bottom of the bat. You just came out and hit the ball. You only had 24 at-bats. You could see there were Ravindra Jadeja bats at the other end. There’s a fielder in the deep. You don’t have to hit that ball. No wonder Jurrell looks at his bat and is very, very unhappy with himself. He should be,” added Vaska said in the comments.
