“It’s not that you focus more, it’s that you have to be aggressive with pitches over the plate,” assessed Grichuk last night. “I’m a guy when I watch too much video, it’s get in my head. Obviously, when you’re coming into a game you didn’t watch the pitcher’s previous games, you kind of just see what he has if he’s probably going to be a reliever. I feel like I also use that to my advantage of not getting too much in my head.”
Grichuk has now hit safely in six of his last seven games (.320, 8-25).
