RZZZA Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Konerko should have swung hard at that first pitch, it was right down the middle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hei's got to be hurt; he couldn't get this bad so quickly after dominating pitching the past couple seasons. This is on the Sox management team.

caulfield12 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Tigers' announcers think Santiago is more effective in the low 90's instead of overthrowing the fastball as the closer. Has to pace himself more going 2-3 innings, like he did last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just tell the truth about his injury to a fan base that pays a lot of money to see the team play. Sox fans are big boys n girls; they can take a dose of bad news.

Hei's got to be hurt; he couldn't get this bad so quickly after dominating pitching the past couple seasons. This is on the Sox management team. Konerko is a veteran. He knows his own body. He's had the same exact thing before in the past. The bone chip or fragment clearly is rubbing against another bone and irritating his wrist and entire swing. Last year, they just got lucky with it when it moved...and injection cleared it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 What do you believe is structurally wrong with Konerko's wrist? Bone spurs? Muscle strain? Luol Deng-like injury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a lot of management decisions this season that could be the difference. Having Santiago close. Sticking with Morel in the 2-hole. Sticking with Morel. Period. Not letting Quintana finish a 1-0 game after 77 pitches in LA. Not adjusting the lineup when guys go cold. It's a fine line between 86 and 91 wins. And the Sox do things that hurt them because of loyalty and stubborness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if he feels 100%, then someone needs to tell him that the Sox don't need him swinging like an opposite field slap hitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
