Burger, Sheets and Grandal are bringing nothing. Burger is at least playing an adequate third and holding his own for someone basically in indie ball just a couple of years ago.

ShoeLessRob Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 When do we accept that this is just who they are? I’m tired of the “warm weather” narrative, won’t the other teams also hit better in warmer weather? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brijames1957 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Supposed to really warm up next week with highs around 80. If some of these guys don't start hitting you have to make some moves. That includes replacing the hitting coach. Once Lynn comes back the pitching will be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmmmbeeer Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Look forward to how this offense looks on the next homestand, our first series OF THE SEASON with game time temps over 65. I know the cold is a shitty excuse but I just can't help to think these dudes are sick and tired of being cold every damn game. For anyone who has played baseball, playing in the cold, especially hitting, fucking sucks. It's not fun, the ball doesn't carry, and the wind/dryness makes your eyes water while waiting for a pitch.

It's different just visiting town and you run into a cold series than it is every damn game, a month into the season, has been cold. These dudes have been given zero opportunity to loosen up over the course of a warm weather series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 If Pollock doesn't wind up having a nice season, it's another blight on Sox advance scouts. Sox rarely seem to acquire guys who end up producing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't care what distance it is. On a day like today with the wind blowing in, none of the barrels that have >30 launch angle are gonna go that far unless you have a EV above 110. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
