kitekrazy Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 18, 2011 -> 09:22 PM) It's so true though. I don't think he's pulled more than 10 fastballs hard all season. Only the Sox could have a young player lose his bat speed after two years. Walker probably suggested he add 2 ounces to his bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He defnitely shouldn't be considered a prime prospect anymore. You can get a second baseman to do what he does offensively about anywhere. Though he is damn good defensively. I can't believe how bad a team the Sox are at home. Another big series and looks like a 1-2. Edited August 19, 2011 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitekrazy Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I'd love for KW to say, "f*** it, I'm firing Walker. If anyone doesn't like it, there's the door". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His season has killed us. With Dunn and Rios as pathetic as they are, we couldn't afford Becks to be an easy out as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanne Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Ya know what's sad about Gordo...I remember watching him AFL and how he went with every pitch and used to just lace ropes opposite field. When he's on...that's what he does. WTF is Walker teaching this kid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanne Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 btw...anybody with Extra Innings catch that story about Hannahan last night. About how his wife went into labor when he was on the road? Couldn't catch a flight...none available. The only option was chartering something that would have cost $30K. Masterson told him to book it...passed the hat among teammates and they covered his cost so he could be there for the birth of his kid. Good story...

That sucks. He's really a lousy hitter at this juncture. I can't believe how bad a hitting team we have, especially at the Cell. Our hitters truly blow.

greg775 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 If we lose tonight and dip one below .500 does that finally show everybody we're not a contender? Teams that trot Adam Dunn and Rios out there every day cannot expect to win anything of significance. I think it's that simple. Add our other guys who are having bad seasons and u get this putrid attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add our other guys who are having bad seasons and u get this putrid attack. I am looking forward to the end of the Guillen era. No manager besides him and his gut would continue to bat Dunn 4th with the way he has hit this season. Rios keeps finding himself into the lineup for whatever reason. Guillen was given the green light to ignore contracts, yet keeps trotting out the same guys who have destroyed our season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
