fathom Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 QUOTE(jphat007 @ Mar 4, 2006 -> 09:22 PM) They don't need to start turning it on until APril 4 or whatever it is. I completely disagree. If these hitters continue to struggle during Spring Training, then it could become a matter of confidence. There's still a while to go, so I'm not worried.

jphat007 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Mar 4, 2006 -> 03:24 PM) So then whats the point of Spring Training? They obviously have not shaken off the rust, and its time. And its April 2nd. Point of spring training is to see people fight for positions and see the young kids in the organization. The vets can start working on their timing and begin to get ready the last half week or so. "It's time" comes April 2. Nobody cares what you do in the first 2, 3 weeks of ST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 The sad thing is the guy with the best tools to be the lefty out of the pen is Munoz. His curve is absolutely sick. He could dominate lefties if he threw strikes and was agressive. Hopefully he mans up and pitches well the rest of the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll worry when we get to April. Hell, we even got beaten up by the Brew Crew up in Milwaukee right before the season started last year. Let's just hope our guys know what to do. Sure did last year.

Well they are getting ready the whole time, it's not like they aren't getting at bats. It's just that they start looking for results in their ABs that last half week to a week.

2OutRally Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Bentz's transition of his glove back to his left hand is really...cool. WGN's pitch zone graphic is really lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll worry when we get to April. Hell, we even got beaten up by the Brew Crew up in Milwaukee right before the season started last year. Let's just hope our guys know what to do. Sure did last year. This is all I care about over the next few weeks. I am not worried about the records. Brian Anderson The only one from the starters that it matters how he does is Anderson. He needs to work with Dye and Pods so they can get their collective communication together. He also needs to get some ABs and get a good feel before the grind starts. Jenks Everyone knows he can throw 100mph. He needs to work more on pitch placement, pitching up in the zone. And the big huge thing is locating his curve. If he can throw that for a strike goodnight hitters. Bmac He needs innings, and to work on some touch up stuff. 2nd lefty/crapola Someone needs to seperate themselves from the pack. The rest of the guys are vets. They just need to get through this healthy, get their ABs or innings pitched. Work on a few items and then get ready. I have gone to ST for years. If you are looking for the sox to win every game or play fluidly, wait until the season starts. Because in ST you get some ugly games, some ugly swings, and some ugly pitching.
