Wanne Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 At some point this dude is gonna have to be held a little accountable at least. All the horses*** about working on Crede's swing...pfffffffffffft...great results. I know you can't blame the guy for everything...but what's his job again?!? One other thing I did notice yesterday....I didn't see PK resting the bat on his shoulder...but judging the results...who really gives a s***.

GoodAsGould Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Konerko changes his swing all the time by himself, so Walker had nothing to do with that probably....I think Walker mostly works with Crede and he has obviously been our worse hitter.... although we really dont know whats going on....

ISF Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Ahhh....the traditional White Sox scapegoating method; fire the hitting coach. The memories.....Ron Jackson....Von Joshua....Walt Hriniak.... Don't worry, Walker's time will come. It is his destiny.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboz56 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Wow, another crappy thread pops up. Why am I not surprised? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISF Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 C'mon aboz, this one has Chicago White Sox written all over it. We really should have a forum pool. $1 for each date you think Walker will be made the sacrificial lamb for Joe Crede, Jermaine Dye and Carl Everett all being in the same lineup.

I thought he was s***ty last year, he got his arm hurt, Baines was interim coach, our bats got real hot, Walker came back, ice cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee...I'll try to look to you in the future as my Posting Guru! I'm not blaming Walker for everybody's slumps...just basically for the lack of seeing any evident difference with Crede.

Frankensteiner Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Agree with Wanne. Greg Walker has the entire line-up so pull happy it's not even funny. He can kiss "hisself" on the ass and be sent packing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 31, 2005 -> 04:09 PM) I thought he was s***ty last year, he got his arm hurt, Baines was interim coach, our bats got real hot, Walker came back, ice cold. Walker works with Carlos Lee last year at the end of his 28 game hitting streak. Changes him from a guy with a compact swing hitting doubles driving in runs like crazy to a extend the arms homer hitter. Every quote from a sox player is "Greg Walker has worked with me on my swing, we tweaked it" And then you see said hitter pull the ball like crazy and hit some homers, then the pitchers start to pitch them outside and their average drops. Crede, His pet project. Failure He was the minor league hitting instructor. Everyone from that era comes up with freakishly long looping swings. Anyone who wants to shut the sox down just has to spot the fastball on the outside corner and its over. Corpseball pull only goes into effect. The inablity to hit situationally. Have you ever seen so many times over the last few years of men on in scoring position with less than two outs and we are swinging for the fences. Come on. Shorten the swing up a bit. We cant bunt at all outside of a few players. Pitchers can learn to bunt in an afternoon. Our positional players cant at all. But hey this is a formula for sucess, 6 out of 9 guys are hitting terrible. But we have the best record in baseball. Walk will turn them around. They will hit 255. And remember Home Runs are cool.

nitetrain8601 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Can't you see aboz, if the Sox lose, it wasn't because the other team was the better team that day, it's because someone on the White Sox is f***ing up. Hell even when we win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell even when we win. I am sure that plenty of pitchers get out of multiple bases loaded no out jams witth only 3 runs. If that was any other team a 5 spot goes up on the board. They were begging for a hurting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonkeyKongerko Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 If we get a new hitting coach, there better be a moratorium on b****ing about our hitting coach for the rest of the season. When Crede still sucks, I don't want to hear anymore whining about why our hitting coach can't fix Crede. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitetrain8601 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Point was that there was already 15 other threads b****ing about what and who is going wrong. That's the point me and aboz are trying to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a topic doesnt hold merit people will ignore it and move on. I never understood where people read something they dont like and then get mad at people for bringing up the point. Whitesox fans are pessimistic by nature. And I am sorry if I am not just overjoyed by this anemic offense we have. Our pitching is great.

The same crap is being recycled everyday about 10 times a day. Again, Aboz, I suggest stickying a "I want to b**** about the White Sox thread". Anyone who doesn't b**** in there and takes it elsewhere gets a temporary ban. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean as much as I think Crede sucks right now, he was a two time minor league MVP and there is a chance that he could get hot at some point this season. This is not Crede defending, this is just logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
