BigSqwert Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Beckham needs to go back to the bottom 3rd of the order. He seemed more comfortable there with less pressure on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamshack Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 02:29 PM) So when did Gordo quit trying to drive the ball the other way? That was what made him so effective. When they stopped throwing the ball over the outside of the plate and started coming in on him. He finally adjusted and has been hammering that pitch over the last few games, but now he is not even looking to hit that right-center gap anymore. He needs to keep both pitches in mind, and as Rock said, lay off that damn high heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seemed more comfortable there with less pressure on him. Its not the pressure. Its his approach. When he starts getting back to more line drives to right and right center he will be fine. His power has gone up, however he is getting out in front of the ball more and that makes him less effective.

His power has gone up, however he is getting out in front of the ball more and that makes him less effective. Its what keyed his run from the low .200's to up over .310. Once he quit, he quickly has come back down. He has great hand speed, and there is no reason he couldn't live out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a work in progress. As he develops more power with all of those inside they will go back over the outside corner and he will spray them that direction again.
