fathom Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 QUOTE (Wanne @ Apr 17, 2012 -> 03:30 AM) pretty much...he was Walkerized. Such a non-linedrive swing it's ridiculous. It's hard to still blame Walker for Beckham's failure. He looks worse now than he ever did in the pass. After a while, you just blame the player.

caulfield12 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) With Morel coming up there, you should have let that ball drop. Work around DeAza, better than giving up that additional run. Lincecum must really be hurting or upset about the Cain contract situation....already gave up 4 runs against PHI (at home) after getting blasted in his first start. Versus Halladay, sporting the 0.60 ERA coming into that game, had the looks of a pitcher's duel at one point.

Soxbadger Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Walker never has preached a long loopy swing. If I recall correctly, after his rookie year, Beckham worked on his swing alone in the offseason and never has been the same since. That is my recollection, nothing to do with Walker. I believe Walker's only comments were to try and get him back to where he was... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 It's time to trade Beckham instead of send him down. He's not going to be sent down at this point of his career. However, his future may be resembling that of Brian Anderson if he doesn't get his s*** together. Another team or two and bye bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, you learn that in pony ball....let it drop and save the run from scoring when you're already down 2 runs late in the game. PS...I really wish Hawk would stop calling Dayan 'Tanks'.
