BFirebird Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 QUOTE (skidoochic @ May 12, 2010 -> 02:12 PM) The real question is WHY aren't the Sox hitting????? Is it Walker? Is there too much pressure on the guys (like Beckham)? (I know he should be able to handle it). I think for A.J. he just needs to be more patient at the plate. Any thoughts? This may sound stupid..but just bad luck? IMO...the hitting coach has little to do with it. We have a historic low BABIP because of bad luck and so many HR. Obviously they won't be a top 10 offense but if things even out they should be slightly below middle of the pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 12, 2010 -> 02:17 PM) That'd be great, considering he'd be lucky to get 12 ab's every 2 weeks. Hense why I said "still in contention." Obviously that means A.J. is still here at catcher. If we were out of it (like many think we already are now) than Flowers should be here.

fathom Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 12, 2010 -> 08:17 PM) For a guy who doesn't K that much, Pierre already has more K's than A.J. Yes, but neither guy K's a lot. Hard to complain about that with either of them. If we only score in 2 innings during these 2 games, I don't mind the sweep. This park with these conditions is brutal for our homer or nothing team.

SoxAce Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 It's gonna be another close call on the PTC. Hopefully Pierre pulls it out over Konerko eh knight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it's not like the Twins are scoring a ton of runs in these 2 games. For once the conditions are a reason for an offensive slow down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Looking at the box score, and there are 4 players among the Sox starting 9 with sub-.200 batting averages. Further, only three players are above .226, 2 above .252. Yuck. That is awful for mid-May, but I suppose it means we're likely to see some nice comebacks from the offense soon. Pierre at .252? I didn't notice how much he'd improved that lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a historic low BABIP because of bad luck and so many HR. Obviously they won't be a top 10 offense but if things even out they should be slightly below middle of the pack. Could be, but historically, A.J.'s a pretty good hitter. I wonder if it is his contract that is bringing him down. Maybe when the weather gets warmer Beckham and Quentin will get better. I don't know much about Kotsay, but whoever said earlier to bring back Juan Uribe - I would second that motion! Uribe was AWESOME!!!! Anyway, SOMETHING has changed and caused these guys to suck.
