Balta1701 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I like on the replay how Paul hit that ball so hard that after his swing he stumbled backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 01:06 AM) No, getting nailed on the hand in game 1 of this series and probably swinging a bat with a bruised hand did that. Â Bad hand didn't cause him to swing at two pitches that were 2 feet off the plate, unless he was trying to get the bat thru the zone faster.

Vance Law Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 07:02 PM) Way to go Konerko!! And Vance, Pavano is good because he has the best command of any pitcher we've faced this year. Â Where was this for the past every year of his career?

Â I didn't think he got that one at all. AJP hit a routine fly ball that was 10 feet from the LF warning track earlier, and Valencia/Kubel hit the wall. We didn't see a single ball go to the warning track yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably telling everyone he feels ok because that's what you're supposed to do, but what happened to Ozzie's old "you take yourself out of the lineup 1 day, and you sit the next day" rule? He'll probably prove me wrong by killing a ball later, but I don't think that a bruise like I'm sure he had after that HBP heals in 24 hours.
