Gregory Pratt Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 QUOTE(fathom @ May 16, 2007 -> 09:43 PM) I thought the swings were actually fine. There's something to be said about the team's baseball IQ when your players are taking huge HR cuts with no outs and two men on against a tough sinkerballer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 16, 2007 -> 09:47 PM) I wonder what the excuse for our rotten offense will be next. Some bad pregame food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claydude14 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 (edited) That's a fair ball. Even the Yankee announcers admitted it. They were just impressed Ozzie didn't argue. Edited May 17, 2007 by ROC Sox Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 16, 2007 -> 09:48 PM) It's too f***ing wet out there. And dark, way too dark. We need to hire someone outside of the organization for the next hitting instructor. The lift and pull long looping swing poison is deeply rooted in the minors here. Someone that can teach a line drive swing, and that right field is not out, you can hit to all fields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PK took a nice swing, as he was able to elevate the ball. He's a bad match-up against Wang though, as he knows if he hits the low sinker, it's an automatic double play. Mackowiak had a good approach at the first pitch, he just popped it up. QUOTE(ROC Sox Fan @ May 17, 2007 -> 02:49 AM) That's a fair ball. Even the Yankee announcers admitted it.

At least during the corpseball era, they'd break out once or twice a week and score 10 runs in a game. These guys are consistently mediocre.
