joejoesox Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 09:04 PM) That's interesting, as you look at the guys we've hit well lately, and we did it on the fastball....Niemann, E. Jackson, Ohlendorf Daniel Cabrera, Justin Verlander, Jeremy Guthrie. Hard throwing righties don't do so well against us, because of our one-dimensional approach. Look fastball, See fastball, Hit fastball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 02:13 AM) Situational hitting. We could use some. We just need more hits. Walks is great and all, but unless you have Quentin getting HBP with the bases loaded, you need to be able to drive runs in. I would bet we lead the league in fewest amounts of hits that scored runs in the past 3 seasons that weren't homers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would bet we lead the league in fewest amounts of hits that scored runs in the past 3 seasons that weren't homers. I think we've been hitting pretty well, but just not at the right time. We're getting lead-off men on, whether with singles or with walks, but we can't do anythign after that. I don't remember the last time we hit a double.

You go for the out there. If you don't make the play, a sacrifice fly scores a run instead of ending the inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we are getting timely hitting in April for the most part. It worries me because you can't always count on timely hitting to win games. I'd much rather have the average around .270 than .245 with timely hitting. Obviously wins are the most important stat so however that happens is ok by me, but it'd be better getting more hits.
