peppers312 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Abreu's 2nd HR was just hammered. i don't want to get my hopes up too soon because it's some NL pitching, but he's got some POWER. there are going to be some ups and downs this season, but i like how this team responded after Robin not being too happy after monday's loss.

Steve9347 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Those were some bombs, but I'd say Avi displayed even more power. Great to see - great time to be a White Sox fan. All hail Hahn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually not sure that would be a worse approach than the one he has now by all that much given the power he does seem to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of agree. He hits many balls hard, but his groundball rate is one Leury Garcia would be proud of. If he is thinking about homers, maybe he gets the ball in the air a bit more, and if he does, more runs will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found it interesting that both of the pitches he demolished yesterday were high and tight, I feel like poeple have been getting him out there the last few games.

southsider2k5 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Colleen Kane @ChiTribKane 2m Jose Abreu doubled in 1st. Said today he not only is giving 1st HR ball from Tues to his mom. Plans to give her a trophy room in a new house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think part of his GB issues are that he's always reaching out of the zone to hit stuff. When he hits liners, they travel, he just needs better pitches to get more liners.
