Smith said fatigue from the grind of catching has not been the reason for his reason slump and he broke out with a solo home run in his first at-bat Saturday.
SAN DIEGO – Here’s the thing about being a major-league catcher – it catches up with you.
“He was probably a little tired for awhile and built some habits,” Dodgers hitting coach Aaron Bates said. “He battled some injuries early in the year and developed some habits where he was just shooting balls the other way, trying to play through some stuff. But he’s a gamer. That’s just how he is. “I’m very mindful of it,” Roberts said. “He hasn’t DHed a lot because of J.D. . … Will is a huge part of what we’re doing so I am definitely mindful of his workload. But it’s hard. It’s a balancing act.”
“I think the trigger is … it is not direct to the ball. I go to swing and it’s more going backwards rather than going right to the ball. It’s a little back, a little down and then to it and you’ve only got milliseconds to hit a baseball.” “Overall, this whole year I went through some stuff, had to adjust. I think that probably caught up to me a month or two later,” Smith said. “It’s baseball. It’s hard. You feel really good some times and you feel really bad some times. You just try to grind through. You’re always making adjustments and tinkering.
