Flash Tizzle Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Owens has mastered the art of bunting directly into the path of an opposing player. Someone should tell him to do that every time, so by nature he'll do the opposite and find an open area of field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 24, 2007 -> 08:28 PM) Can we please put Hall on the DL? There's no reason to keep him on the roster right now. Every moment he remains on this club only delays his return next season. I don't understand why he continues to play in this pitiful season. Just have him undergo surgery, rehabilitate, and hopefully be full strength by April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a coach that is still employed that told people about perfect storms, and flipping cards. The only thing we teach in the minors, is dip your back shoulder, cheat on the pitch a bit, and swing as hard as you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jul 24, 2007 -> 08:43 PM) I have been watching the whole game, but just came in the thread, so I aplogize if this has already been said. Floyd has not been great, thats obvious, however Hall is not doing him ANY favors. A few of us talked about it last game he caught, but his pitch selection leaves alot to be desired, and can't throw a lick. As it stands, he brings very little to the club.. Floyd hasnt been all that bad. He should have given up a 3 spot so far. Mack forgot to catch a fly ball. And our defensive alignment is on opposite day. We throw in, we shade away. We throw away, we play for pull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could understand not shading the direction a pitcher/catcher are setting up. Hitters would quickly catch on if a fielder was constantly moving depending upon a catcher placing their mits inside or outside homeplate. Anyways, there's no guarantee the pitcher throws to the spot the catcher has targeted. I have to imagine Podsednik was set up according to Polanco's hit chart. Problem is, his speed has practically disappeared and his arm is the suck Edited July 25, 2007 by Flash Tizzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Hopefully by next week, we are looking at some different players. I dont trust our capabilty to draft, and prepare our own players. I would rather see what another team has prepared. This offseason, I would like to see a member of a good system come over and take over the minor league development. Get rid of the lift and pull hitting coaches. Find some good glove guys, and some good roving hitting coaches, and lets start a process where the entire minor league system preaches the same thing. We all pull on the same rope. You bunt, you run, you hit, you play unselfish. You learn how to play the game the right way. And in few years we will see something.

The ball that Pods didnt catch, hung up for a bit. If he had medicore speed he would of caught up to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
