Balta1701 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 10, 2006 -> 12:06 PM) Has anyone noticed the angle of his bat, even when he fouls pitches off. The bat seems like it's going straight to the right. I'm afraid that doesn't make any sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't help much either that he swings like a fvckin mad man up there...BA needs to slow everything down and start puttin the bat on the fvckin ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCSox Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 10, 2006 -> 12:05 PM) It's these type of posts that really puzzle me. Last I checked, the only time we're able to score is if our 3-4-5 knocks guys in. It should would help the offense out if our #9 hitter could get on once every century. Last I checked, it would also help if we had a CF who knew how to read fly balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 10, 2006 -> 07:07 PM) I'm afraid that doesn't make any sense to me. His hands are going forward, but the bat is nowhere near catching up with the rest of his body. Thus, that's why he keeps fouling off pitches to the right side. I'm sure Walker sees this....and he needs a complete overhaul of his hitting mechanics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ndgt10 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Iguchi should have taken a shot stealing home when they were intentionally walking Dye. Sabathia was lobbing it to martinez very softely and far off the plate. I think he could have made it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say that compared to league averages, our CF position is much worse off than our righty set-up men. At least we have Jenks at the end of the bullpen to clean up some of the mess the righties in the pen give us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that several times in interviews. We are also talking about the same guy who decided to have Uribe drop the leg kick from last year because he figured that the leg kick didnt really help him. Lets try something new.
