caulfield12 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I was about to say we were getting Holland's pitch count up, then we went down 1-2-3 and Morel swung at the first pitch. At least he actually threatened the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 QUOTE (DirtySox @ Apr 8, 2012 -> 02:19 AM) Thought that one was going out. He made good contact, but that's one of the concerns with him, and that is that he just doesn't have enough power to the opposite field to fit his swing.

Soxfest Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 08:18 PM) I'm really liking how comfortable Flowers looks at the plate. Good, patient approach. I think he is up too stay for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 How many oppo field homers did Morel hit last year? A couple? No more than 3, I'd bet, probably at USCF in the August/September heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adams is hittable. The hit parade continues. That line-up is like the White Sox offenses from 2000-2004/2006, when healthy. Or 2008, when we had Quentin looking like the leading MVP candidate. Flowers and Peavy getting crossed up with the signs. Lucky Tyler knocked that ball down or it would have been a disaster.

knightni Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Murphy's slow on the fastball, i.e., he's looking for offspeed. Peavy throws a hanging curve in there next pitch. Genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His arm slot is okay, but he's effectively "staying back," not attacking the plate at all. It's actually looked better to my eye the past couple batters and now his fastball his moving.

Oh well, baby steps Reminds me of that Joe Crede "warning track" type power we saw out of him his first few years in a White Sox uniform. On another note, I think you can honestly make the argument that PK entered his "prime" about a year or two ago. He's always been a great hitter but his performance over the past few years with virtually no one behind him is even more impressive than his back to back 40 HR years, IMO.
