southsideirish71 Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 QUOTE (BlackBetsy @ Oct 5, 2008 -> 03:15 PM) What is Harold Reynolds talking about the Sox are a good fastball hitting team? 91 to 94 center thigh to belt straight as an arrow. They can crush that. Now if the thing moves, or is above the belt, then all bets are off. Konerko used to be one of the best fastball hitters in the league. His bat is now a tick slower.

BlackBetsy Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 5, 2008 -> 04:15 PM) Smart pitch to Alexei. He was on that fastball. Alexei is the only good fastball hitter on the team right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoesox Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 5, 2008 -> 03:16 PM) Two things that stand out so far about our hitting this series: - way too many hitters are out in front of good pitches, and are hitting meatballs foul - too many strikes taken while swinging at balls and what that means is: Tampa Bay advanced scouting trumps ours which seems to be non-existant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Thome gets to watch video of him hitting home runs to prepare him for a tough pitcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Rogers was on the Score and asked Dye what Garza would feature. Dye didn't know who he was or what he threw. Dye has actually faced Garza before so how the hell did he not know him?

Yet all hitters that come to the sox are finished products that cannot be altered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
