harkness99 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Anderson has looked horrible since his home run. He just has to stop swinging at garbage sliders down and away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That shows me that Anderson is over thinking up there. See ball hit ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducksnort Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Well it was a nice little run while it lasted. These games happen. At least they won the series. Can't be mad about being 5-1 vs divisional opponents in 6 games. Gotta dust off the shoes and get ready for a 4 game set vs KC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing bad I'm assuming? Detroit announcers said it was groin...sounds like it was connected to that fly ball he caught the other day that he came up awkwardly on.

Blackout Friday Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 30, 2017 -> 02:27 PM) Wish we were seeing more development so far from him this year Struggling can be part of development. He needs to adjust, and I'm sure he's intelligent enough to realize this and obviously talented enough to execute. Obviously no guarantees, but I'm not ready to worry too much. He's also seemingly started slow every year while going through the minor leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That shows me that Anderson is over thinking up there. See ball hit ball. See ball hit ball is an oversimplification at any level and especially so at the pro level. The game between hitter and pitcher is a chess match.The stuff that pitchers possess is impossible to process just by reaction time alone. Even knowing their arsenal is not enough for even the best hitters with the quickest reactions to succeed barely more than 3 of 10 times, Every pitch has a purpose to the ones following it, If a hitter cannot think like a pitcher his chance of success is dismally low. You may be over matched by your eye hand coordination alone or your lack of less than perfect vision . Only with sound mind and body do the best become the best and even they have their struggles and failures . Baseball is not only for those physically gifted but the willingness to endure those struggles and failures . Baseball is a thinking and patient man's game .
