fathom Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I think the weak pop ups to the left side where Dunn doesn't even know where he hit it have concerned me more this year than the strike outs. His bat speed is just gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His bat speed is just gone. Maybe no bat speed is because of no confidence? I don't know maybe the guy needs glasses or something.

I don't know maybe the guy needs glasses or something. It is troubling for sure Even when he's made good contact a lot this year, he's had warning track power. In the past, he could hit it out of any park to any direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 What a terrible throw. Thank goodness he was out and Humber gets seven shutout innings. Depending on the pitch count, it may be tiime to let the bullpen blow this one. Let Humber leave with a good feeling. I'm saying this with no idea what the pitch count is.

His bat speed is just gone. Finally!! Someone says it. I have been talking about this all year and haven't had any response to it. It's happened with BOTH Dunn and Rios (although much more with Dunn). I've never seen that out of any major league player ever throughout a whole year where they don't even know where the ball is when they make contact. It's like he's closing his eyes on the swing and has absolutely NO feel of where he's connecting on the bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why Rios doesn't know where the ball is going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnCangelosi Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Humber with a 3.45 ERA after this game. Despite his awful stretch there, that is still very impressive. Hopefully next year he'll be strong enough to go 180 Innings or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Just to get this straight. In these scenarios would you blame Oz today? 1.) Sergio now gets rocked and we lose? 2.) Sergio loads the bases and Oz doesn't take his CLOSER out? Just wondering cause my guess is even though this is an automatic move I think people would blame Ozzie saying he should have left Matt in. Would you blame Ozzie? Or would u blame Sergio? I blame players; I think most would blame Oz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
