jeffro2525 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 QUOTE (Baron @ May 3, 2012 -> 06:38 PM) Yeah I dont understand it either. Sure Gordon didnt play all that well last night. But atleast we saw signs of life with him. Remember More's last 2 at bats? Take fastball up the middle then swing at everything out of the zone. He was up 3-0 and didnt swing on 2 pitches up the middle. Last one he swung at was out of the zone. He is just completely lost right now. Morel sucks, but I read nothing into taking two pitches on 3-0 lastnight. I'm 100% sure that he had the take on 3-0, and 90% sure that he had the take on 3-1. He did swing at a bad pitch to strikeout, but it's not like he watched two fastballs go by because he couldn't pull the trigger. It was obvious that RV had him take 2 with a new(possibly wild) reliever in the game, and the game tied leading off the 7th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I dont think he should swing at anything while he is up there. When he does he just embarrasses himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dielac Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Is this getting played? I heard the weather was going to get ugly tonight and the weather in motion radar doesn't look promising. Who's near the park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have told him to close his eyes just in-case he gets any urge to swing. Edited May 4, 2012 by jeffro2525 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I wonder how his stride and release point look. He has been leaving the ball up all year long. It makes me suspect he is understriding towards the plate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Looks like Dunn has truly put last year behind him. He has had enough at bats for proof he is much better than a year ago if not the old Dunn. Paulie officially in a little slump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Danks is really pressing. I have no idea WTF that throw was about. Dude needs to relax.
