fathom Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 11, 2009 -> 11:39 PM) Is anyone a bit worried about how bad fields looks most of the time? I'm hoping its just a slump, but he hasn't exactly lit the world on fire since his hot start. Extremely worried, especially since a lot of his hits have been flares to right field. Just look at his swing. Not only does he still have the hole in it on anything towards the inner part (fastballs), but he has a ridiculous follow-through. Batting him 2nd was beyond idiotic if it's lead to him changing his style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderBolt Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Why is Lillibridge in the lineup and why is he hitting second? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Strong 2 pitch AB for Lillibridge. One thing to watch as the year goes on is if Getz can stop flying out weakly to LF. He makes far too many outs on that same swing, and Hawk is getting very upset with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friend of Nordhagen Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 11, 2009 -> 06:01 PM) Why is Lillibridge in the lineup and why is he hitting second? Shouldn't Ramirez be hitting second? (1) More fastballs hitting in front of Quentin; and (2) If Getz is on, it might get him focused on going to right field, instead of trying to pull every pitch.

That would make a whole lot more sense than Lillibridge. Of course, we've had a terrible fastball hitter batting 2nd most of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, we've had a terrible fastball hitter batting 2nd most of the season. The thing with Fields is that he doesn't really even have a big swing. He just has really slow reflexes, so he can't hit a fastball and balls skid past him at 3rd regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Ugh, Gavin looking like 2009 Gavin so far. No command of his fastball, and then gets forced to throw it over the plate and gets hit hard. We look flatter than the Olsen Twins yet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's replacing Javy for the ability to hang lousy breaking pitches to left-handed hitters. These pitches are creamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
