Sox @ Tigers

I love Manny and all, but it's kinda funny how he's just a slap hitter to right field these days.

I loved the way Manny hit. Beautiful inside out swing is not slap hitting. It's him realizing his timing is not where it should be right now and being smart about it.

Ok, just sit Beckham for rest of game. He's usually worthless after striking out in his first AB.

Rally Killer Kotsay...shades of yesterday with him in the 2nd inning.

lmao really, on a line drive that required a diving catch....????

It was a blooper.

Id describe Kotsay's hit as a sinking line drive. It wasn't a hard hit ball but it wasnt a pop up. Could have easily fallen.

 

(Edit)

 

He kind of flipped it into left field, you could call it a blooper but it didnt really get that high off the ground.

It's called going with the pitch I believe and besides Manny is still getting that timing down. I just hope when he breask out of it for power we get it in a game we really need it and not as part of some blow out

If Hawk said it he would have just missed a homer

Ejax looks a lot better this inning . Slider biting more.

[elrockinMT]

Good inning by Jackson hope he now has his groove on

Going with the pitch is more like what Beckham does. Hit's outside pitches to right and pulls inside pitches. Manny took an inside pitch to right. Have to get the hands out in front open your hips a bit and let the bat head trail. Much harder to do and Manny's been making it look easy.

ManRam = hit machine.

[WilliamTell]

Manny with another single.

[ScottyDo]

ManRam = hit machine.

manny > ichiro!!

 

EDIT: That was green, but not snarkily so

the Sox have done a good job the last few games getting a lot of pitches out of the starters in the early innings.

Good point

[CaliSoxFanViaSWside]

Teahen put a good swing on that one.

Probably could be if he really wanted to hit with as little power as Ichiro does.
