Austin Jackson hasn't done a thing yet but his approach is a lot more hopeful than Kendrys' is right now. While Jackson swings and misses some, I counted 3 line drives right at people as well 2 hot-shot grounders that didn't sneak through just in the 3 games he's been a Mariner (Denorfia had 2 line drives right at people, for what it's worth). He keeps doing this than things will turn around quickly... Or he could fall by the wayside like Morrison did after some bad luck came his way. Here's to guessing that Jackson has better mental make-up than LoMo.
As for Kendrys... He seems to be swinging much harder than I ever remember him swinging. It's like he's trying to get a 4 months worth of home runs and RBI's in one swing, instead of slashing it into the left-center gap. Last series was a little better so maybe he's working his way back. It also just could be my lack of good memory! You can tell he's into these games, which I appreciate. We aren't losing because of a lack of focus. We may be losing because hitters are pressing (Kendrys) All of these guys want it though.
