Harry Chappas Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Why is that this team simply refuses to make a pitcher work by fouling off good pitches or letting them go rather than swinging at everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never fouled off tough pitches last year. We'd take so many called third strikes. I'll have my Pods called 3rd strike counter going this year. Someone should keep track of how many times Thome takes a called third strike on a full count, and starts running towards first to try and sell it.

Grinders don't make pitchers work. They get the bat on the ball and run hard to first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Let's look at the two reasons listed by Hawk to explain our failures last season: -We beat ourselves more than 2005. Lack of fundamentals -Lack of adrenaline I suppose pitching never factored into the equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring training is a carbon copy of the second half of last season. I don't give a s*** that it is only spring training this is what this team did last spring.

LVSoxFan Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Hawk? LOL. Hawk is the guy that at '05 Soxfest told us all that the '04 team was one of the finest he had ever seen. Catcalling ensued. Guffaws were many. Jokes made their way around the SRO people in the back like wildfire. This year he tells us our chances are good for "Another ring" if we don't "beat ourselves." Wannestadt-ian!

Dick Allen Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 At least Danks' ERA for the spring will be a little below 6.00. Not exactly the stiffling spring training competition KW envisioned I would guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
