I wish they would shut it with the donation requests. I've really gotten tired of Benetti. Not saying he's terrible...but just sick of the bs. Just call the goddamn game would ya! Seems to me Stone has heard some criticism and is starting to drop the "grab ass" routine somewhat. But Benetti...Sox are stuck with him...for a long LONG time. Him and his annoying "Ho-say" (Jose) crap...drives me nuts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was enjoying his wrestling broadcast and then he awkwardly asked Stone if he's ever "jumped the shark" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We talked about this, but hopefully next year he changes his two strike approach to protect more and try cutting and slashing. We know no changes are happening this year.

His top OPS was 801 in A ball. He has been in the majors for less than 2 full seasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcq Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I think Bob Uecker is humorous and I think Paciorek is pretty good. There are not a lot of good ones around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 most pull hitters with power will have stretches like this. just gotta be patient, kid doesn't even have 800 PA above AA level yet. but yea adjustments. Name of the game at the MLB level for any successful regular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need more swings like the first where he stayed inside the ball and hit it to straight away center. He also hit one up the middle yesterday, but it was knocked down by the pitcher and he got out. I would like to see more swings for up the middle or the other way...his best home runs are to LCF & CF. Needs to be more aggressive early in the count as well. (which I think I saw someone said Abreu mentioned to him) to make pitchers change their strategy. This would help bring back up his walk rate because the pitchers will stop throwing first pitch fastball strikes. Needs to get that % back up.
