fathom Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 12:40 AM) Yeah, but when we've tried not being patient, and swinging at either the first or second pitch, Santana will make it to the 9th inning and give up 1 run. Uribe went out and got that first pitch fastball. It will be interesting if we change our approach as the game goes on. Time for an Alomar flare.

southsideirish71 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Uribe goes oppo. This is what our right handers should be doing against Johan. Lets see if old man Alomar can put a good hit together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just put the bat back in the rack and come up with a better game plan than that. Try hitting it to right instead of pulling everything. We've been seeing that a lot haven't we. They never just go with the pitch to right. Overswing on everything when they have a tough one on the mound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most disturbing thing about the offense the last few weeks is the lack of hard hit balls by our offense. I like going to right with pitchers like Johan who have a great change. If you think right you still have a shot at putting the change in play. If you look for the pull, if you make contact with the change you will foul it off. Its not for every single type of pitcher. Its for soft tossing lefties, soft tossing righties who are going away only, and for Johan with the plus change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Ever since Mr count has come back from the DL, he is pretty much sidearm only. What happened to going over the top. He is leaving a lot of his fastballs up and over the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so good, you can look for it, and still not hit it. Also, he doesn't throw his changeup on the outside corner as much as a lot of other lefties. I think the best way to hit Santana is swing hard in case you hit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
