It is crazy Astros tell minor league hitters to never swing 3-2 except a few of their best prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Look at Ray Ray Run Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I haven't been around as much as I made a commitment to being more positive and enjoying the division race even if we haven't met expectations - it's not like we're the Yankees. We haven't earned the right as fans to be arrogant. I'm gonna enjoy this drive down the stretch. Let's go boys! Let's sweep this ass holes. I'll add that la russa criticism and negativity is still fine, but I'm all in on the boys . Leggo!! Season started today 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJSox_22 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I just don’t understand trying a new hitting coach 2 months ago… they just continue to assume things will just fix themselves magically. These guys are mentally screwed up… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stealing a paycheck. He threw two strikes to those three hitters, and they all went down swinging. You'd think some of these hitters would figure that out on their own.

Everybody wants to be a hero. No plate discipline. Miss a contact hitter like Madrigal. BTW, Vaughn should not be hitting second against the tough righty. Moncada is the ideal second hitter nowadays, another TLR unforced error. Vaughn is now actually one of our best hitters against RHP so I don't mind him batting 2nd. More AB's for him.McKenzie won't pitch a complete game. Maybe get to another reliever if Clase isn't going to pitch if the Sox can hold onto the lead.

Lol He's obviously not telling them anything. After the Zavala at bat, he should have been telling them to be patient and wait for a pitch. Because he's not throwing strikes. And they just went up there chopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Pollock was more disciplined his count would have been 3-0. He should not have swung at any curve ball. He can’t hit a curve, Vaughn should not have been hitting second in the first place. Moncada should have been hitting second. Sheets should have been in the line up. Bad TLR lineup construction tonight has cost us some runs.
