quickman Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 09:18 PM) Konerko's had a horrible year, I don't think anyone defending him has said otherwise. My belief with him is his injuries have accounted for the big dropoff. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't buy Paul Konerko being a .210 hitter. My deal with Swisher is he has been awful yet people continue to stroke him. well personally I think its hits batting stance, he changed it in spring training, and he has sucked every since then. I realize injuries have somethign to do with it, but the guy is done. his fielding has taken a hit as well. We cannot afford him right now, and I think you will see ozzie give him one more week and then he will have a reduced role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 QUOTE (quickman @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 07:25 PM) yes I realize his point and thank you for answering for him, but apparently you do not understand my point. therefore I will wait for fathom to answer for me. I do but it didn't matter in the end if he made an unproductive out. Even with a s***ty at bat an out is still an out when we needed him to get on base.

Buehrle>Wood Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 02:25 AM) No, Swisher PH for him because a righty was on the mound. Playing match-ups so early with your number 2 hitter is certainly odd. Someone make an Ozzie crack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cannot afford him right now, and I think you will see ozzie give him one more week and then he will have a reduced role. He needs to go back to the leg kick for his timing mechanism. Right now, his hands are way too close to his body due to his late start. That's why he either fists stuff to the right side or rolls over on it to the left side.

There was no way they could have kept up the pace they were on. If they have to go 4 or 5 innings, you can't complain about giving up 1 run.

Even with a s***ty at bat an out is still an out when we needed him to get on base. Yes I do understand that, but its not like it was a bad at bat. He could have been Konerko and grounded into a double play on the first pitch. My point simply was he battled through 13 pitches, it was a decent at bat, although the result still sucked. we all lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
