Take Note, Sox Hitters

Shawn Estes just drove in a run for the Scrubbies by hitting a SACRIFICE FLY.  All he had to do is HIT THE f***ING BALL IN THE AIR TO THE OUTFIELD.  Maybe JM could have Estes over to U.S. Cellular to teach Sox hitters to GET RUNNERS HOME FROM THIRD WITH LESS THAN TWO f***ING OUTS.

Not gonna happen, but nice thought. Those are things you expect and or teach your players from day one. OBVIOUUSLY these arent things our manager finds important. If it was , would he have a selfish player like Carlos hitting 2nd?

Well hell our pitchers had good fundimentals too. Better than about 8 of our 9 hitters...

I'm with ya there. Execution for us with RISP and les than 2 outs needs a lot of work.

I believe our problem is not lack of ability but lack of fundamentals, I think it has to do with our guys wanting to hit the first pitch and not look for something to do something with. The prime example was Derek Lowe struggling and us having second and third and no outs. We end the inning on two pitches (Thomas IW in between,) on Lee and Ordonez trying to do something without thinking about it. Ordonez did it again later but the ball snuck under Nomar's glove. Situational hitting and bunting are disgusting. A manager with baseball sense will put Thomas behind Ordonez because Thomas will make a guy work. This was why he was walked twice, not because he is a better hitter. Thomas was going to make Lowe make a pitch to beat him. Ordonez will not. We get way to overanxious and overswing. Lee, Orodnez and Valentin are all living proof of this.

Oh heaven for bid they don't already know how to do that. :rolleyes:

 

 

Geez guys.. some of this crap play IS the responsibility of the players themselves. It's NOT all JM's fault. Some of you act like he's telling them to fail.
