maggsmaggs Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 (edited) Alexei looks so ghetto in those unis. And a very nice, quick inning for Danks. How many pitches? 7 or 8. Edited July 26, 2008 by maggsmaggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Fields has no chance. Just look at his swing. He's bringing his hands forward and than back. There is no f***ing way he's going to consistently hit with that start to a swing. It makes it completely impossible for him to get a good fastball without completely cheating.

lostfan Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Tigers announcers: "That's the scouting report on Fields, good fastball hitter, so Verlander starts him out on a nice bender." Yeah, keep doing that Verlander! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I will say this, aside from that timing mechanism to start the swing, his swing looks good and he does a great job with weight shift and everything along those lines. I've seen many hitters have there timing mechanisms altered with a lot of success so hopefully Walk and Baines can work with Josh and get something figured out. Remember what Jeff Pentland did to Sammy Sosa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see that our minor league instruction allows these large flaws in the swing to get through without any change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Verlander has thrown 45 pitches through 2. That was a 27 pitch inning there in the 2nd for him. I like this game plan a hell of a lot better than the first pitch swinging against goggles last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah... Brian Anderson says hi, Jerry Owens as well, since he admitted nobody ever taught him how to get a bunt down in the minors.
