TylerAtIU Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2009 -> 06:01 PM) Because MLB hitters can hit a 95 mph fastball over the plate, especially when they don't have to look for anything else. Callapso turned around Thornton's fastball, and they immediately changed location and tried to paint the outside corner. I mean were looking at there number 9 in Aviles and he starts him off 3-0 because he wont just go after him and his .211 avg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxbrian Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ May 5, 2009 -> 06:04 PM) if you're not going to ask guys like Thome, Konerko, Dye to bunt, don't ask alexei to do it either his mindset is along the same as theirs, power power power Alexei is hitting under the mendoza line and then some. Asking him to bunt to help the team shouldn't be asking too much, especially since I'm sure that he's well aware how bad he's been so far this year.

They are going to lose this game. The Sox need to stop swinging at pitches they can not do anything with. I have been saying for the last two years that they swing at pitches they can do nothing with when they are ahead in the count. You don't need ot swing at every strike.

Pants Rowland Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I know people want to see Getz get ABs versus LHP, but with a journeyman LH specialist on the mound, wouldn't a pinch hit by Nix have been in order in that situation? Seems like a tailor made situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
