Dick Allen Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Apr 23, 2008 -> 08:59 PM) whoever delivered the scouting report for posada tonight needs to be fired. 3 doubles, are you kidding me? Sox pitchers were just unlucky. Hawk is sometimes so crazy. He is flabbergasted by bloop hits against the White Sox, but when Erstad was on the Sox he would actually say Darin jammed himself on purpose to get bloop hits.

Frankensteiner Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Can someone explain to me how Jenks goes from occasionally hitting 100 to occasionally hitting 94? I mean seriously... I guess I'm not that worried about his general effectiveness but there has to be a reason for the loss in velocity, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year, he said something about being less concerned with trying to throw hard and being more concerned with trying to pitch. He said to the fans 100 isn't a big a deal as it's made out to be.
