Kalapse Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 How come they never show the jumps? They always show the conclusion of the play but never the beginning. The first second after contact means everything to the play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ May 16, 2007 -> 06:51 PM) Erstad's defense is overrated, mmhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm His jumps are bad, mmhmmmmmmmmmmmm His reads aren't good enough, mmhmmmmmmmmmmm I love Erstad. How anybody could ever bash his D is beyond me. He covered a lot of ground there. I was telling the haters that they would be surprised if that ankle was healthy just how good he would be and since the Sox signed him I always assumed it was fine. Jason was the only other person I remember saying the same thing though I'm sure there were others. We had seen Erstad at his best since we're in California and though he's older you can see he still has a good amount of speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Has Erstad smiled once since being in a Sox uni? I've yet to see it, perhaps he has no teeth or just really bad breath and does not want to open his mouth. Is it possible that he's so grindy he refuses to ever show any sort of emotion during baseball season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A low OBP hitter with little power... And as Hawk continues to talk about all the great things he brings to the club, how his grinderishnessitude rubs off on those around him, maybe it's time to blame him for the incredible display of futility throughout our lineup.

I don't think you even believe what you just said. You're going to blame one guy for the whole team hitting like crap ? Thats just scapegoatism at its very worst or is it best?

If you're talking about Hawk, I've no problem blaming him. But I hope you aren't really suggesting that Erstad's been bad for this team. Bah.
