BlackSox13 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Just now, Jose Abreu said: Good to see Yoan swing at a first pitch fastball. Hit it well too but right at the CF I liked seeing that too. If pitchers continue to throw first pitch fastballs over the plate to get ahead then it makes sense to take a hack at it instead of trying to work the count and end up swinging or looking at a pitchers pitch for strike three. Swing away Yoan, swing away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSox Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) Well - back to the spin that Shields is invaluable because of all of his help in the development of young pitchers. yes, and I'm aware of the clownshow behind him.

Swing away Yoan, swing away! Frank Thomas had to go through the same stages. He had to swing early just often enough to keep pitchers honest.

I believe this is the principal behind Abreu recently telling Yoan to swing earlier in the count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) This really has turned into a clown show on defense. Everyone to DH lol.

caulfield12 Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) Moncada needs to be sent down if he keeps this up defensively. He has to earn his playing time. 11 errors, and most of them have led to big innings and lots of extra pitches. Leury should have been pulled from the game as well. No excuse for being lackadaisical, complete lack of effort and focus. Edited June 22, 2018 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been taking so much about trying to improve his focus, I can totally see them using this option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
