elrockinMT Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 That was s nice 9 pitch at bat for Beckham and he delivers with a single to lead off the inning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Just a really wonderful AB from a professional hitter...maybe already our best "pure" hitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 02:39 AM) With the offensive fire power we have would it be too much to ask for a blowout every 9 games or so? Why must we go through these long stretches looking so bad against mediocre pitching? It is ridiculous I admit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan1 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 08:42 PM) It's just so fun to watch him bat. What's not to love? Line drive hitter, see's a lot of pitches, great plate discipline for someone his age, doesn't strike out a ton, works the count, goes with the pitch, had good/improving power, good speed...

caulfield12 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Thanks, JD. Could you at least move the runner over to 2nd. Now one of our slowest runners on the team will need two base hits (or three) and/or a homer to drive him in. Thanks for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 (edited) Two outside sliders, two quick pull-hook outs after Beckham's great AB. Just what we needed this inning.

fathom Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Like I said yesterday, whenever there's a critical situation between Sox and Twins, Mauer will just call for outside sliders against guys like Konerko and Dye, and they do nothing but pop it up or ground out weakly.

Friend of Nordhagen Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 08:46 PM) Home run or nothing from PK, Dye, and Thome these days. That inning was a microcosm of what this team needs to become versus what it is -- a guy who hits the ball where it's pitched, doesn't try to roll over every pitch versus 2 guys whose default is to try and pull the ball, at almost all times. More of the former, less of the latter, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
