Balta1701 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 7, 2011 -> 09:54 PM) I wonder if it is relative to Kenny jumping on Walker. I think everyone including the announcers got on him for being too tentative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 8, 2011 -> 02:55 AM) Can't look up stats, but Alexei seems to have really struggled with runners on 3rd and less than 2 outs this year. I think so too and from the games I have seen that swing of his gets a bit wild sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still awful and you know it. If we decide to start him in 2012 it should be considered a rebuilding year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was focusing on taking the ball to right and making contact rather than trying to drive the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Sep 7, 2011 -> 07:55 PM) No I think that would be reading too much into that. Wasn't KW mad about Gordon B's swings? That's just the tip of the iceberg. Morel was on a pace to have the fewest walks in a season. That would be fine if he were a pitcher.

They musta thought they were in Detroit. Choke mode is engaged. Besides they don't want to drift too far past the .500 mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that was on Konerko. I just caught the end of it...but it looked to me Lexi and Omar got crossed up. Didn't look like a bad throw at all. Like to see it again....

This is of course what I've been saying the whole time... Development takes time Me and you are some of the few who like Morel. For a rookie who plays great defense he gets way too much hate around here. Also one of the few Sox who can go to right when the situation calls for it. Too many around here want instant superstars. I want progress from a rookie and he's showed me that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
