The Ginger Kid Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 (edited) Anyone else notice that that since he hit the triple off Rivera in NY, Juan Uribe is really starting to stroke it at the plate? He's laying off the low and away breaking ball that was his nemesis. He's working the count and fouling off a ton of pitches. And when he does make contact he's absolutely belting the ball. He's 6 for 14 (.428) since that triple. Man...if he gets going that would be huge! Edited August 16, 2005 by The Ginger Kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know....I hope he is getting out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 (edited) Uribe was an absolute beast the first half of last season. If he could get that hot again, he could carry us through the post season, that's how hot he was.

He swings at too much junk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he could get that hot again, he could carry us through the post season, that's how hot he was. See, I totally agree with this. Remember how he hit with power to ALL fields? I just think this could be huge. With Pods out, I'd like to see Tad leading off and Uribe hitting in the 2 hole, like he did last year.

Balta1701 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 The thing that really has given me hope is those 9-10 pitch at bats he's been getting all of a sudden. Somehow he's no longer swinging and missing at 3/4 of the pitches thrown to him. That alone is an encouraging sign. As strong as he is, and as hard as he swings, if he puts the bat on the ball and keeps it fair, it will just fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uribe looked horrid before he got that triple. As Ozzie said, he nailed Rivera after looking like s*** against the junkballer. Unreal.

jackie hayes Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Finally disillusioned, I dropped him from my fantasy team a week or so back. So if he keeps it up, just know you have me to thank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDylan Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Uribe is my favorite player on the Sox. Easily the most exciting to watch. It's great to see him get it going. I hope he can keep it up and go on a tear for a long while. He's got the talent. to Juan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
