JUGGERNAUT Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 I'd agree it's not great, but it still was productive. He raised the stress level of the pitcher. Maybe to such a degree it factored in Uribe's walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 01:14 AM) Dear Mr. Crede, Please learn from Mr. Olivo in 2003. Resting your bat on your shoulder only to lift it right before the pitcher starts his motion doesnt help your swing. If your bat is so heavy, please see the equipment manager for a lighter bat. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I really would like to see Crede try a new load mechanism for his entire swing. He just doesn't get the bat through the zone quick enough on a consistent basis. A new timing mechanism, like what guys like Sosa have, could work to speed up his swing.

JUGGERNAUT Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 (edited) Not a great ab for Harris, but again productive. He moved Uribe into scoring position. 2 outs for Gload. Edited April 15, 2005 by JUGGERNAUT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He moved Uribe into scoring position. 2 outs for Perez. 2 productive outs in an inning is not a recipe for scoring runs, especially when the first "productive" out is leading off the inning. It was nice to see Uribe draw a walk though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By that time it will dawn on him that he may want to listen to the coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new timing mechanism, like what guys like Sosa have, could work to speed up his swing. The sad thing is, this is a new load mechanism this year. Its just a poor one. Last year his swing has a big hitch in it. If someone was stupid and threw him a curve that dropped down and in, he murdered it. But fastballs he would drop down a bit and undercut it. This year his bat is a bit faster. But now he is introducing another delay in his swing with the bat resting on his shoulder. I figure its a way Walk has of him having proper hitting position before he generates his swing. If you look right before he swings his elbow is up, he looks good. If he just had his hands in the right position without resting his bat, he would be on the ball and hitting all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Hernandez is going to struggle in the cold, I have a feeling. A lot of the good curveball pitchers I've seen so far have a tough time gripping the ball in cold weather. You could tell Hernandez had a better feel for his pitches in the dome.
