Chisoxfn Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 QUOTE(SSH2005 @ May 18, 2006 -> 05:11 PM) I was referring to the number of pitches he has been seeing in the game previous to that AB. Big whoop, he got a first pitch fastball and hit it hard. Bases loaded and you have a good shot at seeing a first pitch fastball to drive (since the pitcher doesn't want to fall behind). Anderson swung at it and got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSqwert Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 QUOTE(jphat007 @ May 18, 2006 -> 07:11 PM) He lined out in his second AB. That's all he can do. Try to hit it hard. Better than taking pitches, getting down in the count and having no chance. It's bases loaded. See a pitch or two since you didn't see any in your first AB. Who knows, maybe dude throws a wild pitch.

SSH2005 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 (edited) Big whoop, he got a first pitch fastball and hit it hard. Bases loaded and you have a good shot at seeing a first pitch fastball to drive (since the pitcher doesn't want to fall behind). Anderson swung at it and got it. Well, there's a reason he's hitting .172 with 32 K's and 13 BB's. In general, taking a few pitches sure wouldn't hurt.

And he's the 9th hole hitter and one of the best defensive outfielders in the game (in his rookie year). I'm far from concerned. He isn't the reason we won't go to the playoffs (well his bat). If we don't make it to the playoffs it would be on other guys. Ozuna just misplayed one, wasn't necessarily an error though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 For all we know, if Anderson decides to take pitches in that count, he could have ended up K'ing in that AB, and then people would be attacking him like crazy on here. He saw a pitch he wanted, he swung, made good contact, unfortunately it was right at the 3rd baseman. I don't have a problem with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking a few pitches sure wouldn't hurt. Big whoop. Anyone that didn't expect him to struggle at the plate was a fool. This guy helps our pitching staff in the field (he may already be better then Aaron out there and if he isn't better, he's pretty damn close).

In general, taking a few pitches sure wouldn't hurt. 13 walks for a guy his age isn't bad. I've watched plenty of Anderson's at bats and he isn't just hacking at first pitches. The guy takes a lot of pitches and finds himself in the hole a lot because his approach could be better (and recently it had gotten better, but he seems to be pulling through the zone a bit quick right now). However in this AB he did everything right. Got the first pitch FB and drilled it..just happened to go right at the 3rd baseman. If you want to bash someone bash them, but don't slam him when he did things RIGHT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman delivers Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Anyone else impressed by that peg by Anderson, even though it didn't get to 3B in time? He was really deep out there and got it right to Crede on one bounce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboz56 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Yes Anderson's D is great. But I'm sorry if he's hitting under .200 come June he's going to be platooned on a full-time basis with Mack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
